Without saying anything at all
You fell upon me
I asked who you were
You said you were a cloud in the sky
Pouring heavily without stopping
Drizzles fell on me
I asked why
You said it was a soft kiss
ஏதொன்றும் சொல்லாமல்
வீழ்ந்தாயே என் மேலே
யாரென்று கேட்டேனே...
வான்மேகம் என்றாயே
சோ என்று நில்லாமல்
தூறல்கள் என் மேலே
ஏனென்று கேட்டேனே...
மென் முத்தம் என்றாயே
You embraced me.. you drenched me..
அனைத்தாய்... என்னை நனைத்தாய்...
Is it a fire in my heart?
When you fall down
Does it slowly feel like bliss?
Is it changing because of you?
Is it a fire in my heart?
When you fall down
Does it slowly feel like bliss?
Is it changing because of you?
என் நெஞ்சின் தீயோ...
நீ வீழும் போதோ...
மெல்லச் சுகம் காணுதோ
உன்னால் மாறுதோ
என் நெஞ்சின் தீயோ...
நீ வீழும் போதோ...
மெல்லச் சுகம் காணுதோ
உன்னால் மாறுதோ
Fire... fire
Fire... fire
தீ.... தீ.....
தீ.......தீ....
Without warning or motion
Your fire is like a statue
Your body stands like a pillar
I spilled and transformed into particles
ஆடாமல் கொள்ளாமல்
சிற்பம் போல் உந்தன் தீ
தூண் என்ற உன் தேகம்
துகள் மாறாது நான் சிந்தி
Without ending, without departing
Golden dusk spreads across the sky
Just for you to hold me
Ponder why there is any doubt
தீராமல் நீங்காமல்
வானெங்கும் பொன் அந்தி
என்னை நீ ஏந்தத்தான்
ஐயம் ஏனென்று நீ சிந்தி
You embraced me.. embraced me..
அனைத்தாய்... என்னை நனைத்தாய்...
Is it a fire in your heart?
When you fall down
Nothing gets extinguished
I am a boundless cloud
உன் நெஞ்சின் தீயோ
நான் வீழும் போதோ
ஒன்றும் அணையாதே
நான் எல்லை மேகம்
Is it a fire in my heart?
When you fall down
Does it slowly feel like bliss?
Is it changing because of you?
என் நெஞ்சின் தீயோ...
நீ வீழும் போதோ...
மெல்லச் சுகம் காணுதோ
உன்னால் மாறுதோ
