மனம் வேக
வேக உயிர் நோக
நோக துடித்தேன்
குழு : ஓஹோ ஓ
As my mind burns faster and faster..
As my soul aches more and more..
I writhed in agony...
Chorus : Ohooo...oooo
உன் பார்வை
என்று திரும்பும் என்
யாகம் என்று முடியும்
As I yearn to see you more and more,
As the pain escalates higher and higher,
I shattered..
Chorus : Ohooo...oooo
இந்த அழகின்
அருகிலே இருந்து தினம்
வேர்த்து வேர்த்து இந்த
நரகத்தில் துடித்திட
When will your gaze
Turn towards me?
When will my sacrificial penance
Come to an end?
