காத்திருந்தேன் உனக்குத்தான்
காலம் இனி நமக்குதான்
கட்டுப்பாடு என்னத்துக்கு
கிட்ட வாயா என் கன்னத்துக்கு
I was waiting only for you
From now on, time belongs to us
Why have restrictions anymore?
Come closer to my cheek
வெட்டி பந்தா அதை விட்டுபுட்டு
ஜென்மத்துக்கு நாம கட்டுப்பட்டு
உன்ன விட்டா எனக்காரு இருக்கா
கண்ண மூடி என்ன பாத்து காட்டு
Leave behind all meaningless boasts
Let us be bound together for a lifetime
Who else do I have besides you?
Close your eyes, look at me, and show your love
சின்ன புள்ள உசிரும் உன் கூடருக்கு
இத போல ஒரு கதை எங்கிருக்கு
This young girl's soul belongs in your shelter
Where else can a story like this exist?
காத்திருந்தேன் உனக்குத்தான்
காலம் இனி நமக்குதான்
கட்டுப்பாடு என்னத்துக்கு
கிட்ட வாயா என் கன்னத்துக்கு
I was waiting only for you
From now on, time belongs to us
Why have restrictions anymore?
Come closer to my cheek
நான் பொறந்தேன் அது உனக்குத்தான்
நம்பி வந்தேன் வா நமக்குதான்
நான் உடுத்தும் அலங்காரம் எல்லாம்
வேஷம் இல்ல என் செல்லைய்யா
I was born only for you
I came trusting you, come, it's for our future
All the adornments and decorations I wear
Are not a facade, my dear beloved
ஹோ எழுதும் எழுத்துல
உன்ன என்ன
அறிஞ்சு வெச்சது எஞ்சாமி
அந்த எழுத்து மாறத்தான் வழியே இல்ல
என் உசுர என்கிட்டே கொடு சாமி
அட எப்பவும் உன் நெனைப்பு
நிதம் ஏங்குது என் பொழப்பு
In the written fate, how you and I are bound
My Lord has already known and written it
There is no way for that written destiny to change
Give me back my life, my dear Lord
Oh, your thoughts are always in my mind
My daily life yearns for you constantly
காத்திருந்தேன் உனக்குத்தான்
காலம் இனி நமக்குதான்
கட்டுப்பாடு என்னத்துக்கு
கிட்ட வாயா என் கன்னத்துக்கு...ஓ....ஓஒ....
I was waiting only for you
From now on, time belongs to us
Why have restrictions anymore?
Come closer to my cheek
வாக்கப்பட நான் ஆசைப்பட்டேன்
வாழ வந்து என்ன ஆளைய
பாசத்துக்கு பசும் கண்ணு போல
பந்தத்துக்கு இனி நானையா
I longed to be wedded to you
Did you come into my life to rule over me?
Like a tender calf showing affection to its mother cow
Am I now the one meant for this sacred bond?
ஓ உலகம் பேசும் ஒரு மாதிரி
நிதம் நெனப்பில் மனசு படம் மாறுதே
நிலவு காத்தும் பாடும் பாட்டுல
உன்ன நெனைச்சு என் ராசா
பறப்பேன் ரெக்க விரிப்பேன்
உன் உசுரில் நானும் கலப்பேன்
Oh, the world talks in its own way
In daily memories, my heart changes like a moving picture
In the song sung by the moon and the wind
Thinking of you, my king
I will fly, spreading my wings
I will blend into your soul
காத்திருந்தேன் உனக்குத்தான்
காலம் இனி நமக்குதான்
கட்டுப்பாடு என்னத்துக்கு
கிட்ட வாயா என் கன்னத்துக்கு
I was waiting only for you
From now on, time belongs to us
Why have restrictions anymore?
Come closer to my cheek
வெட்டி பந்தா அத விட்டுபுட்டு
ஜென்மத்துக்கு நாம கட்டுப்பட்டு
உன்ன விட்டா எனக்காரு இருக்கா
கண்ண மூடி என்ன பாத்து காட்டு
Leave behind all meaningless boasts
Let us be bound together for a lifetime
