கூட வருவியா
என் கூட வருவியா
கூட வருவியா
என் கூட வருவியா
Will you come with me?
Will you come with me?
Will you come with me?
Will you come with me?
கைகளோடு கைகள் கோர்த்து
காலம் முழுதும் விலகாமல்
பகலும் இரவும் பயணம் முழுதும்
பாதை மாறிப் போகாமல்
வழித்துணை என நீயும்
கடைசி வரையில் என்னோடு
Holding hands tightly together
Without parting for all time
Day and night throughout the entire journey
Without straying away from the path
You as my travelling companion
With me until the very end
கூட வருவியா
என் கூட வருவியா
கூட வருவியா
என் கூட வருவியா
Will you come with me?
Will you come with me?
Will you come with me?
Will you come with me?
என்னை எடுத்து உந்தன் கையில்
என்று தந்தேன் என்று
இன்று நினைத்தேன் அன்று நடந்த
அந்த விந்தைகளை
Taking myself in your hands
When did I hand myself over to you?
Today I thought about those wonders
That took place back then
மலர் வனம் பூப் பூப்பதும்
விருந்தென தேன் தருவதும்
ஒரு மனம் ஓர் நொடியிலே
தன்னை இழந்தே தவிப்பதும்
A flower garden blooming with blossoms
And serving nectar like a grand feast
A heart in a single moment
Losing itself and yearning in deep affection
என்னவென்று...
ஆஆ...ஆஆ... ஆ...
என்னவென்று புரிந்ததின்று
இதற்கு எது இங்கு காரணம்
நீ இல்லாமல்
வாழ்க்கை ஒன்று இனியேது
What it is... ah... ah... ah...
Today I finally understood what it was
What else could be the reason for this here?
What life is there anymore without you?
கூட வருவியா
என் கூட வருவியா
கூட வருவியா
என் கூட வருவியா
Will you come with me?
Will you come with me?
Will you come with me?
Will you come with me?
யாரும் இல்லா காதல் தீவில்
உலகில் ஓர் மூலையில்
தன்னந்தனியே குடிலை அமைத்து
அன்பு பரிமாறலாம்
On a love island where no one else lives
In a remote corner of the world
Building a cozy hut all by ourselves
We can exchange our love
தடை வரும் கால தேவதை
மழலைகள் போல் வரட்டுமே
கந்தர்வ கானங்களின்
அமுதினைத் தான் தரட்டுமே
Like celestial angels descending to the earth
May little children come into our lives
Of celestial Gandharva melodies
May they bestow the divine nectar
வெள்ளிப் பனியின்...
ஆஆ...ஆஆ... ஆ...
வெள்ளிப் பனியின் மலையின் ஓரம்
வைர மணித் தேரின் ஊர்வலம்
கண்ணில் மின்னும்
கன்னி கனவு நனவாக
Along the silver snow... ah... ah... ah...
Along the edge of the silver snow mountain
A grand procession of a diamond gem chariot
As the maiden's dream glistening in the eyes comes true
கூட வருவியா
என் கூட வருவியா
கூட வருவியா
என் கூட வருவியா
Will you come with me?
Will you come with me?
Will you come with me?
Will you come with me?
