கலையாத கனவுக்குள்
கவிதையென நீ வந்தாய்
வரையாத ஓவியத்தில்
வர்ணங்கள் தீட்டுகிறாய்
Into an undissolving dream
You came like a poem
On an unpainted portrait
You stroke vibrant colors
ஒரு நாளில் உனை நானும்
கை பிடிக்க நீ வேணும்
நாம் வாழும் ஒவ்வொரு நொடிக்கும்
கடிகாரம் கண் கலங்கும்
Not just for a day, for me to hold
Your hand forever, I need you
For every moment that we live
Even the clock's eyes will tear up with emotion
நான் உனதருகில் இருந்திடும் பொழுது
வேற் என்ன நான் கேட்பது
உன் விரல் இடையினில் வாழ்ந்திடும் பொழுது
வழி எங்கும் வழி தீருமோ
When I am right beside you
What else could I possibly ask for?
When living within the space between your fingers
Will all the pain along the journey heal?
கலையாத கனவுக்குள்
கவிதையென நீ வந்தாய்
வரையாத ஓவியத்தில்
வர்ணங்கள் தீட்டுகிறாய்
Into an undissolving dream
You came like a poem
On an unpainted portrait
You stroke vibrant colors
ஒரு நாளில் உனை நானும்
கை பிடிக்க நீ வேணும்
நாம் வாழும் ஒவ்வொரு நொடிக்கும்
கடிகாரம் கண் கலங்கும்
Not just for a day, for me to hold
Your hand forever, I need you
For every moment that we live
Even the clock's eyes will tear up with emotion
நீ செய்யும் ஒவ்வொன்றும்
அழகாக தோன்றுதாடா
உன்னோடு வாழத்தான்
ஆசைகள் தூங்குதடா
இருந்தாலும் உன் இதயத்தை
ஏற்ப்பதற்க்கு தோணவில்லை
உன் நினைவும் என் நெஞ்சில்
ஏன் என்று தெரியவில்லை
Every single thing that you do
Appears so beautiful to me
Just to live my life with you
Desires keep sparking within me
Even so, to accept your heart
I do not yet feel ready
Even your memory residing in my heart
I do not know why it remains
உன் நிழல் நீளாததோ
அதில் என் உருவம் சேராததோ
Doesn't your shadow lengthen?
Doesn't my form merge into it?
என் விழி பார்த்து நீ
ஒரு மொழி பேசடா
அந்த மொழி பேசிட
புது வழி தேடடி
Look into my eyes
And speak a language, my love
Male: To speak that language
Search for a new path, my dear
கலையாத கனவுக்குள்
கவிதையென நீ வந்தாய்
வரையாத ஓவியத்தில்
வர்ணங்கள் தீட்டுகிறாய்
When I am right beside you
What else could I possibly ask for?
When living within the space between your fingers
Will all the pain along the journey heal?
ஒரு நாளில் உனை நானும்
கை பிடிக்க நீ வேணும்
நாம் வாழும் ஒவ்வொரு நொடிக்கும்
கடிகாரம் கண் கலங்கும்
நான் உனதருகில் இருந்திடும் பொழுது
வேற் என்ன நான் கேட்பது
உன் விரல் இடையினில் வாழ்ந்திடும் பொழுது
வழி எங்கும் வழி தீருமோ
