கண்டு கொண்டேன் கண்டு கொண்டேன்
காதலை நான் கண்டு கொண்டேன்
உன் விழியின் பார்வையில்
என்னை நான் கண்டு கொண்டேன்
I found it, I found it
I have found love
In the look of your eyes
I found myself
கண்டு கொண்டேன் கண்டு கொண்டேன்
காதலை நான் கண்டு கொண்டேன்
உன் விழியின் பார்வையில்
என்னை நான் கண்டு கொண்டேன்
I found it, I found it
I have found love
In the look of your eyes
I found myself
சொல்லிக் கொண்டேன் சொல்லிக் கொண்டேன்
என் மனதில் சொல்லிக் கொண்டேன்
ரகசியமாய் என்னுள்ளே
உன் பேரை சொல்லிக் கொண்டேன்
I whispered to myself, I whispered to myself
I whispered inside my heart
Secretly within me
I whispered your name
நெஞ்சுக்குள் ஆயிரம்
பூ பூக்கும் வாசனை
எப்போதும் என்னுள்ளே
பெண்ணே உன் யோசனை
மனதில் விழுந்த
முதல் மழை நீயடி......
Within my heart, a thousand
Flowers blooming fragrance
Always within me
O girl, thoughts of you
Falling in my heart
You are the first rain, my girl...
கண்டு கொண்டேன் கண்டு கொண்டேன்
காதலை நான் கண்டு கொண்டேன்
உன் விழியின் பார்வையில்
என்னை நான் கண்டு கொண்டேன்
I found it, I found it
I have found love
In the look of your eyes
I found myself
உன்னைக் கண்ட பின்னே
என் நெஞ்சம் ஏனோ தொலைந்தது
என் மூச்சினுள்ளே
உன் வாசம் தானே வீசுது
After seeing you
My heart was somehow lost
Within my breath
Your scent blows softly
உந்தன் பேரைச் சொல்ல
மனம் மெல்ல தூண்டுதே
எந்தனுள்ளே மாற்றம்
தடுமாற்றம் தோன்றுதே
To utter your name
The heart gently prompts me
A change within me
A faltering hesitation appears
முதல் முறையாய் நானின்று
வேறொரு கிரகத்தில் நீந்துகின்றேன்
காதலெனும் சொர்க்கத்திலே
அழகிய கனவுகள் வாங்குகிறேன்
அழகான வெண்ணிலவே
நீதானே என் நிலவே
உனக்கேதான் என் இரவே கேளடி
For the first time today
I am swimming on another planet
In the heaven called love
I am receiving beautiful dreams
O beautiful white moon
You alone are my moon
My night belongs only to you, listen girl
கண்டு கொண்டேன் கண்டு கொண்டேன்
காதலை நான் கண்டு கொண்டேன்
உன் விழியின் பார்வையில்
என்னை நான் கண்டு கொண்டேன்
I found it, I found it
I have found love
In the look of your eyes
I found myself
வேறு என்ன வேண்டும்
நான் வாழ நீயே போதுமே
மரணம் வந்தால் கூட
உன் காதல் என்னை காக்குமே
What else do I need
You are enough for me to live
Even if death comes
Your love will protect me
உன்னை சேரத்தானே
நான் ஆணாய் பிறந்தது
உந்தன் கண்கள் சொன்ன
ஒரு வார்த்தை இனிக்குது
Just to unite with you
I was born as a man
Said by your eyes
A single word tastes sweet
எனக்கான தேவதை நீ
உனக்கொரு கோவிலை நான் அமைப்பேன்
உன் நினைவை தினம் சேர்த்து
இரவெல்லாம் அமிர்தமாய் நான் சுவைப்பேன்
உன் தேகம் பூங்கீற்றா
உன் பார்வை பூங்காற்றா
உன் வார்த்தை நீரூற்றா சொல்லடி
You are the angel meant for me
I will build a temple for you
Gathering your memories every day
I will taste it like nectar all night
Is your body a tender flower shoot?
Is your gaze a gentle breeze?
Is your word a water spring? Tell me, girl
கண்டு கொண்டேன் கண்டு கொண்டேன்
காதலை நான் கண்டு கொண்டேன்
உன் விழியின் பார்வையில்
என்னை நான் கண்டு கொண்டேன்
I found it, I found it
I have found love
In the look of your eyes
I found myself
சொல்லிக் கொண்டேன் சொல்லிக் கொண்டேன்
என் மனதில் சொல்லிக் கொண்டேன்
ரகசியமாய் என்னுள்ளே
உன் பேரை சொல்லிக் கொண்டேன்
I whispered to myself, I whispered to myself
I whispered inside my heart
Secretly within me
I whispered your name
நெஞ்சுக்குள் ஆயிரம்
பூ பூக்கும் வாசனை
எப்போதும் என்னுள்ளே
பெண்ணே உன் யோசனை
மனதில் விழுந்த
முதல் மழை நீயடி......
ம்ம்ம்.....ம்ம்ம்.....ம்ம்ம்....ம்ம்.....
Within my heart, a thousand
Flowers blooming fragrance
Always within me
O girl, thoughts of you
Falling in my heart
You are the first rain, my girl...
Mmm...mmm...mmm...mm...
