பாயும் ஒளியினை போல
என் மனசெல்லாம்
மின்னல் பூக்க செய்தாள்..
Like a streaming ray of light
Throughout my heart
She made lightning bloom..
காதல் ஓவியம் தீட்ட
என் வாழ்வோடு
வண்ணம் கொண்டு வந்தாள்
To paint a portrait of love
Into my life
She brought colors..
அது என்ன மாயமோ?
அவள் விழி பார்த்ததும்
இதயமே கூச்சமாகி போனேன்
What magic is that?
The moment I looked into her eyes
My heart felt shy and humbled
இரு நிழல் ஓவியம்
அசைவதை பார்க்கிறேன்
அவளிடம் என்னை தோற்று போனேன்…
A portrait of two shadows
I watch them moving gently
I surrendered myself to her…
மழைக்கால வெயிலாக…
காதல் ஒன்றே துணையாக..
நீ அருகில் இருந்தால்
ஆகாயம் மட்டும் அல்ல
அதை தாண்டி போகும்
ஆற்றல் பெறுவேனே பெண்ணே..
மழைக்கால வெயிலாக…
Like the warm sunshine in the rainy season…
With love alone as the companion..
If you are near me
Not just the sky
Going beyond even that
I will gain the power to transcend, oh girl..
Like the warm sunshine in the rainy season…
போர் முனையில் ஒரு வாழ் வந்து
எனை இங்கு சாய்த்திட்டு போனாலும்
இறப்பேன் மெதுவாய் உன் நினைவாலே
On the battlefront
If a sword comes
And slays me down here
I will die slowly in your memories
நூல் இலையில் இந்த உயிர்
மெல்ல பிழைத்திடும்
வாய்ப்பினையும் அடைந்தாலும்
வருவேன் மீண்டும் உன் தயவாலே…
By a thread's breadth
Even if this life gently survives
Obtaining a chance to live
I will return again by your grace…
ஓ! காற்றில் சேரும் புயலும் கூட
காதல் கொண்டால் தென்றல் தான்..
நாட்கள் ஓடி ஓய்ந்த பின்னும்
உன்னை வேண்டி காதல் காக்கும்
மழைக்கால வெயிலாக…
Oh! Even a storm joining the wind
Becomes a gentle breeze when in love..
Even after the days run out and cease
Love will wait for you and protect you
Like the warm sunshine in the rainy season…
பாயும் ஒளியினை போல
உன் மனசெல்லாம்
மின்னல் பூக்க செய்தேன்..
Like a streaming ray of light
Throughout your heart
I made lightning bloom..
காதல் ஓவியம் தீட்ட
உன் வாழ்வோடு
வண்ணம் கொஞ்சம் தந்தேன்
To paint a portrait of love
With your life
I gave a bit of color..
அது என்ன மாயமோ?
உன் முகம் பார்த்ததும்
இதயமே கூச்சமாகி போனேன்
What magic is that?
The moment I saw your face
My heart felt shy and humbled
இரு நிழல் ஓவியம்
அசைவதை பார்த்ததும்
உன்னிடம் என்னை தோற்று போனேன்…
A portrait of two shadows
Upon seeing them move
I surrendered myself to you…
மழைக்கால வெயிலா நீ …
உன்னுள் நானே புதைந்தேனே
உன் அருகில் இருந்தால்
ஆகாயம் மட்டும் அல்ல
அதை தாண்டி போகும்
ஆற்றல் பெறுவேனே அன்பே ..
மழைக்கால வெயிலா நீ …
வெயிலோடு கரைந்தேனே
Are you the sunshine in the rainy season?…
I buried myself within you
If I am near you
Not just the sky
Going beyond even that
I will gain the power to transcend, my love
Are you the sunshine in the rainy season?…
I dissolved along with the sunshine
Paayum oliyinai pola
Like a streaming ray of light
En manasellaam
Throughout my heart
Minnal pooka seidhaal..
She made lightning bloom..
Kaadhal oviyam theeta
To paint a portrait of love
En vaazhvodu
Into my life
Vannam kondu vandhaal..
She brought colors..
Adhu enna mayamo?
What magic is that?
Aval vizhi paarthathum
The moment I looked into her eyes
Idhayamae koochamaagi ponen
My heart felt shy and humbled
Iru nizhal oviyam
A portrait of two shadows
Asai vadhai paarkiren
I watch them moving gently
Avalidam ennai thottru ponen…
I surrendered myself to her…
Mazhaikaala veiyilaaga…
Like the warm sunshine in the rainy season…
Kaadhal ondrae thunaiyaaga..
With love alone as the companion..
Nee arugil irundhaal
If you are near me
Aagayam mattum alla
Not just the sky
Adhai thaandi pogum
Going beyond even that
Aatral peruvenae pennae..
I will gain the power to transcend, oh girl..
Mazhaikaala veiyilaaga…
Like the warm sunshine in the rainy season…
Por munaiyil
On the battlefront
Oru vaazh vandhu
If a sword comes
Enai ingu saithittu ponaalum
And slays me down here
Irappen meduvaai un ninaivalae
I will die slowly in your memories
Nool ilayil
By a thread's breadth
Indha uyir mella pizhaithidum
Even if this life gently survives
Vaaipinai adainthaalum
Obtaining a chance to live
Varuven meendum un thayavalae…
I will return again by your grace…
Oh! kaatril serum puyalum kooda
Oh! Even a storm joining the wind
Kaadhal kondaal thendral than..
Becomes a gentle breeze when in love..
Naatkal oodi oyindha pinnum
Even after the days run out and cease
Unnai vendi kaadhal kaakum
Love will wait for you and protect you
Mazhaikaala veiyilaga…
Like the warm sunshine in the rainy season…

What magic is that?
Un mugam paarthathum
The moment I saw your face
Idhayamae koochamaagi ponen
My heart felt shy and humbled
Iru nizhal oviyam
A portrait of two shadows
Asai vadhai paarthadhum
Upon seeing them move
Unnidam ennai thottru ponen…
