கிலேச காதலாய்
உன்னை ஏற்கிறேன்
நீ அருகினில் இருக்கையில்
ஒரு இறகென மிதக்கிறேன்
Troubled, intense love,
I am in awe of you.
When you are near me,
I float like a feather.
ஆதித காதலால்
என்னை மறக்கிறேன்
நீ விரல்களை பிடிக்கையில்
என் துயரங்களை தொலைக்கிறேன்
Out of overwhelming love,
I forget myself.
When you hold my fingers,
I lose all my sorrows.
சேய் போல் என்னை மாற்றினாயே
என் தாய் போல் நீயும் மாறினாேயே
You transformed me like a child,
You also became like a mother to me.
உன் பார்வை போதும்
உன் வார்த்தை போதும்
என் வாழ்க்கையும் யாவும்
உன் மூச்சில் உயிர் வாழுமே
Your glance is enough,
Your words are enough.
My entire life,
Will live through your breath.
என் வாழ்வு உன்னோடு
உன் வாழ்வு என்னோடு
வேறொன்றும் இனிமேலே
வேண்டாம் பெண்ணே
Your life is with me,
My life is with you.
Nothing else in this world,
Is needed anymore, my girl.
கை தாங்கும் அன்போடு
தோள் சாயும் நெஞ்சோடு
நீங்காமல் சேர்ந்தாலே
போதும் கண்ணே
With hand-holding love,
With a heart to lean my shoulder on,
If we stay together without separating,
That is enough, my darling.
உன் நிழல்படும்
தொலைவினில் தினம்
வசிப்பது பேரின்பம்
சில நொடி சினம்
சிரிக்கையில் மனம்
உணர்ந்திடும் முன் ஜென்மம்
Within the distance,
Where your shadow falls daily,
Living there is supreme bliss.
A few moments of anger,
When you smile, the heart
Senses a connection from a past life.
அணைப்பாயா
என் சொல் கேட்பாயா
என் ராட்சசா என் செல்விசா
Will you embrace me?
Will you listen to my words?
My lovable monster,
My mischievous one,
வரம் நீயே அன்பில் சிந்தும்
கண்ணிர் போல வைரம் இல்லை
உன் அருகினில் வாழ்ந்தால்
நகரம் கூட துயரம் இல்லை
You are my ultimate boon.
Like tears shed out of deep love,
There is no precious diamond.
If I live close to you,
Even sorrow cannot touch me.
என் வாழ்வு உன்னோடு
உன் வாழ்வு என்னோடு
வேறொன்றும் இனிமேலே
வேண்டாம் பெண்ணே
Your life is with me,
My life is with you.
Nothing else in this world,
Is needed anymore, my girl.
கை தாங்கும் அன்போடு
தோள் சாயும் நெஞ்சோடு
நீங்காமல் சேர்ந்தாலே
போதும் கண்ணே
With hand-holding love,
With a heart to lean my shoulder on,
If we stay together without separating,
That is enough, my darling.

Your life is with me,
En vaazhvu unnodu
My life is with you.

Trivia
The word 'Klesa' originates from Sanskrit (meaning affliction or distress), which lyricist Mohan Rajan creatively repurposed to mean a deep, overwhelming, and painfully intense form of love. The film Dada marked the debut of music composer Jen Martin, whose soulful acoustic arrangements received widespread acclaim upon release.
