காயங்கள் ஆறிடும்
தழும்புகள் ஆறுமா
ஓவியன் கைகளில்
விலங்கும் நீதான் அடி
Wounds will heal
Will scars ever heal?
In the hands of an artist
You are the trapped one, girl
மனதிலே வேதனை
நாடகம் ஏனடி
மௌனமே தாய்மொழி
சாபம் தந்தாயடி
Pain inside the heart
Why this drama, girl?
Silence is the mother tongue
You gave me a curse, girl
உளருகிறேன் ஐயோ உளருகிறேன்
நாளும் உன் பேரை நான்
புலம்பிகிறேன் ஐயோ புலம்பிகிறேன்
காற்றில் கலந்தேனடி
I am babbling, oh I am babbling
Every day, your name, I...
I am lamenting, oh I am lamenting
I dissolved into the wind, girl
வா வா அருகே
உயிரே தீ பற்றி புண்ணாகுதே
வா வா உயிரே
இனி நீ இன்றி நான் இல்லையே
Come, come near
The flame of life catches fire and turns into a sore
Come, come my life
From now on, I don't exist without you
உன்னை பார்க்கிறேன்
சந்தேகம் கேட்கிறேன்
நீ கல்லான காதல் கதை
I look at you
I ask questions out of suspicion
You are a stony love story
சின்ன பார்வைகள்
சொல்லாத வார்த்தைகள்
அடி நீயே என் மாயவலை
Small glances
Unspoken words
Hey, you are my magical web
வா வா உயிரே
இனி நீ இன்றி நான் இல்லையே
Come, come my life
From now on, I don't exist without you
காயங்கள் ஆறிடும்
தழும்புகள் ஆறுமா
ஓவியன் கைகளில்
காகிதம் ஆகவா
Wounds will heal
Will scars ever heal?
In the hands of an artist
Shall I become paper?
உணருகிறேன் உன்னை உணருகிறேன்
உன்னை உணருகிறேன்
நானும் உன் போல தான்
நெருங்குகிறேன் உன்னை நெருங்குகிறேன்
நாணம் தடை போடுமா
I feel you, I feel you
I feel you
I am just like you as well
I am getting closer to you, I am getting closer to you
Will shyness create an obstacle?
வா வா அருகே
உயிரே தீ பற்றி புண்ணாகுதே
வா வா உயிரே
இனி நீ இன்றி நான் இல்லையே
Come, come near
Female: The flame of life catches fire and turns into a sore
Male: Come, come my life
Female: From now on, I don't exist without you
நேற்றுன்னை பார்த்ததும்
இன்றுன்னை பார்ப்பதும்
நீ கல்லான காதல் கதை
Seeing you yesterday
Female: Seeing you today
Male: You are a stony love story
பொல்லாத ஜாடைகள்
கண் பேசும் வார்த்தைகள்
அடி நீயே என் மாயவலை
Mischievous gestures
Female: Words spoken by the eyes
Male: Hey, you are my magical web
வந்தேன் எதை தேடி
தொலைந்தேன் உன்னிலே
நானே நான் இல்லையே
ஏன் நிழலோ இங்கில்லையே
What did I come looking for?
I lost myself inside you
I am no longer myself
Even my shadow is not here
கண்ணோடு கண் பார்க்கவா
உன் மடிமேல் நான் தூங்கவா
நம்மை நான் பார்க்கிறேன்
எண்ணில் உன்னை நான் சேர்க்கிறேன்
Shall eyes meet eyes?
Shall I sleep on your lap?
I see us together
I combine you into myself
வா வா அருகே
உயிரே தீ பற்றி புண்ணாகுதே
வா வா உயிரே
இனி நீ இன்றி நான் இல்லையே
Come, come near
Female: The flame of life catches fire and turns into a sore
Male: Come, come my life
Female: From now on, I don't exist without you
நேற்றுன்னை பார்த்ததும்
