For a little while, can’t we just talk sweetly together?
At that twilight hour, won't a gentle drizzle of love fall?
In these tender moments, can't we cross all boundaries?
This blissful time, won't it linger just a little longer?
For a little while, can’t we just talk sweetly together?
At that twilight hour, won't a gentle drizzle of love fall?
There is beauty in your eyes and a hundred graces in your touch; the earth is beautiful because of you.
I am beautiful in you, you are beautiful in me, and everything is beautiful because of us.
Just like the timeless lines of poet Kannadasan,
The love we hold will live on forever.
Like the rich Tamil verses sung by poet Kamban, may all our days flow smoothly and well.
With you as the rain and me as the sun, you make our love flourish like a harvest.
For a little while, can’t we just talk sweetly together?
At that twilight hour, won't a gentle drizzle of love fall?
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la...
Will eyes that captivate and lips that steal kisses weave their patterns every day?
Can anyone ever match you, who rules over everyone with pure love?
Not knowing how to pretend, even my desires hesitate.
Mmh, you have the adoration of millions, and the future eagerly longs for you.
You are mine and I am yours, isn't this the truth?
For a little while, can’t we just talk sweetly together?
At that twilight hour, won't a gentle drizzle of love fall?
In these tender moments, can't we cross all boundaries?
This blissful time, won't it linger just a little longer?

The lyricist Yugabharathi weaves metaphors of nature and homage to Tamil literary icons to elevate their personal romance into a timeless emotion.
