கண்கள் காணும் ஒரு கனவோ
கண்ணாமூச்சி கதை இதுவோ
தொலையாமலே விளையாடுதோ
சொல்லா ஆசைகளின் நினைவோ
சொந்தம் கூடும் இரு நிழலோ
அழகாகவே அரங்கேறுதோ
Is this a dream that the eyes see?
Is this a story of hide and seek?
Is it playing without getting lost?
Is it the memory of unspoken desires?
Are these two shadows uniting as one?
Is it staging itself so beautifully?
மறந்திடுதோ.....ஓ....
வான தூரம் போக
கலந்திடுதோ.....
காதலோடு வாழ
Does it forget to go as far as the sky?
Does it blend together to live with love?
கண்கள் காணும் ஒரு கனவோ
கண்ணாமூச்சி கதை இதுவோ
தொலையாமலே விளையாடுதோ
Is this a dream that the eyes see?
Is this a story of hide and seek?
Is it playing without getting lost?
கிள்ளி விட்டால் பூக்களிலே
நிறங்களும் மாறுமா
அள்ளி விட்டால் கடலிலே
அலைகளும் தீருமா
If pinched, in flowers,
Will the colors change?
If scooped up, in the ocean,
Will the waves come to an end?
சொல்லிவிட்டால் வார்த்தைகளும்
சுகங்களா ஆகுமா
கண்களுமே தூங்கிவிட்டாள்
கனவுதான் ஓயுமா
If spoken aloud, will words
Become sweet delights?
Even if the eyes fall asleep,
Will dreams ever cease?
மறையாதே
முன்னே இங்கே நீர் தேடி
வாழாமல் காலங்கள் ஏது
உயிர் எங்கே போகும்
Do not disappear,
Searching for water right here in front,
What time is left without living?
Where will life go?
மறுபடி
வீசும் காற்றோடு மேகங்கள் சேரட்டும்
தூறல்கள் தூவும்
வேறு இங்கே வானம்
Once again,
Let clouds join with the blowing wind,
Drizzles will shower,
The sky here is entirely different!
கண்கள் காணும் ஒரு கனவோ
கண்ணாமூச்சி கதை இதுவோ
தொலையாமலே விளையாடுதோ
சொல்லா ஆசைகளின் நினைவோ
சொந்தம் கூடும் இரு நிழலோ
அழகாகவே அரங்கேறுதோ
