கோடி அருவி கொட்டுதே
அடி என் மேல
அது தேடி உசுர முட்டுதே
நெதம் உன்னால
A crore waterfalls are pouring
Oh, upon me
Seeking and nudging my soul
Daily because of you
கோடி அருவி கொட்டுதே
அடி என் மேல
அது தேடி உசுர முட்டுதே
நெதம் உன்னால
A crore waterfalls are pouring
Oh, upon me
Seeking and nudging my soul
Daily because of you
மலை கோவில் விளக்காக
ஒளியா வந்தவளே
மனசோடு தொலைபோட்டு
என்னையே கண்டவளே
Like the lamp of a hilltop temple
Oh woman who came as eternal light
Peering into my heart
Oh woman who discovered me
கண்ண மூடி கண்ட கனவே
பல ஜென்மம் தாண்டி வந்த உறவே
கண்ண மூடி கண்ட கனவே
பல ஜென்மம் தாண்டி வந்த உறவே
The dream seen with closed eyes
The relationship that crossed many lifetimes
The dream seen with closed eyes
The relationship that crossed many lifetimes

நள்ளிரவும் ஏங்க
நம்ம இசைஞானி
மெட்டமைச்சா பாட்ட
பொங்கி வழிஞ்ச
Making even the deep night long for it
Like our Isaignani's
Tuned song
It overflowed
பொட்டலுல வீசும்
உச்சி மலை காத்த
புன்னகையில் ஏன்டா
என்ன புழிஞ்ச
Like the peak mountain wind
Blowing in the dry barren land
Why did you, through your smile
Squeeze and captivate me?
சாராயம் இல்லாம
சாஞ்சேன்டி கண்ணால
கூளங்கள் சேராதோ செங்கல்ல
Without liquor
You made me lean over with your eyes
Won't pebbles join together with bricks?
அடகாத்து உன்னை நானும்
சுகமா வெச்சுகிறேன்
ஒண்ணாய் சேர பொறந்தேன்னு
என்ன நான் மெச்சிகிறேன்
Like a mother bird brooding, I will
Keep you in comfort
Born just to unite with you
I praise myself for it
கண்ண மூடி கண்ட கனவே
பல ஜென்மம் தாண்டி வந்த உறவே
கண்ண மூடி கண்ட கனவே
பல ஜென்மம் தாண்டி வந்த உறவே....
The dream seen with closed eyes
The relationship that crossed many lifetimes
The dream seen with closed eyes
The relationship that crossed many lifetimes
உன்னை நினைச்சாலே
செந்தமிழும் கூட
ஹிந்தி மொழி தாண்டி
நெஞ்ச தொடுதே
Just by thinking of you
Even pure Tamil
Crossing the Hindi language
Touches the heart
என்ன இது கூத்து
சுண்டு விரல் தீண்ட
பொம்பளைய போல
வெக்கம் வருதே
What kind of drama is this?
Just by touching my little finger
Like a woman
Shyness comes over me
ராசாவே உன்னால
ஆகாசம் மன்ன மேல
உன் ஜோடி நான்தானே
பொய்யில்ல
Oh my king, because of you
The sky has come down onto the earth
Am I not your partner?
There is no lie in this
கோடி அருவி கொட்டுதே
அடி என் மேல
அது தேடி உசுர முட்டுதே
நெதம் உன்னால
A crore waterfalls are pouring
Female: Oh, upon me
Male: Seeking and nudging my soul
Female: Daily because of you
