Manathin nilai ven thaalil sol

Humming : ……………
Express the state of my heart on a white page,
Where are my dreams wandering? Stop and stay,
The feelings still left unsaid within me,
Only one person will ever understand.
Express the state of my heart on this page,
Where are my dreams wandering? Stop and stay,
The feelings still left unsaid within me,
Only one person will ever understand.
Take the message of this girl's love today,
As tender buds slowly blossom under your gentle spell.
My other half is found only in your eyes,
Here is my very first love letter, just for you.
Express the state of my heart on a white page,
Where are my dreams wandering? Stop and stay,
The feelings still left unsaid within me,
Only one person will ever understand.
Come to me right now, for every slipping moment burns,
Let our eyes meet and become one.
Even my reflection silently asks, 'Who is she?'
She is the one, the beloved of Hari (Krishna).
When we unite, the whole universe turns sweet,
Looking toward you always, like an innocent calf at the lotus pond.
I have dedicated my entire life to you,
And gently, I surrender myself...
You are the beginning, and you are the end,
You are timeless, as life begins in pure love,
I wrote and sent it on the white page of my heart.
Express the state of my heart on a white page,
Where are my dreams wandering? Stop and stay,
The feelings still left unsaid within me,
Only one person will ever understand.

The speaker seeks unity with the divine beloved (Krishna/Hari), viewing Him as the ultimate beginning, end, and timeless essence of the universe. Rich with imagery of lotus eyes and flowering emotions, the piece balances tender romantic devotion with spiritual surrender.
