நான் காணும் கனா
நீயா நீயா
நான் தேடும் வினா
நீயா நீயா
The dream that I see
Is it you... is it you?
The question that I search for
Is it you... is it you?
நான் காணும் கனா
நீயா நீயா
நான் தேடும் வினா
நீயா நீயா
The dream that I see
Is it you... is it you?
The question that I search for
Is it you... is it you?
என் கண்கள் கடலாகி போக
என் நெஞ்சம் உனக்காக வாழ
என்று சாய்வேன் நான் உன் தோளோடு
நம் கனவு புதிதாகி வாட
என் நாட்கள் பதில் தேடி ஓட
என்று சேர்வேன் நான் உன் நிழலோடு
As my eyes turn into an ocean of tears
As my heart lives only for you
When will I lean upon your shoulder?
As our dream becomes new and fades away
As my days run searching for answers
When will I unite with your shadow?
நீ போன பாதையதை நான் பார்க்கிறேனே
என்னை தேடி நீயும் வருவாய் என்றே
நீ சொன்ன வார்தையதை நான் கேட்க்கிறேனே
என்னை ஒரு நாள் நீ தான் அழைப்ப்பாய் என்றே
The path on which you walked
I keep watching it continuously
Hoping that you too will come searching for me
The words that you spoke
I keep hearing them in my mind
Believing that one day you will surely call me
வானம் தாண்டி என்ன உள்ளது
வாழ்க்கை அது போல் மாயம் ஆனது
காயம் இங்க காதல் ஆனது
ஏனோ உன்னால
What exists beyond the sky?
Life has become an illusion just like that
The wound here has turned into love
Why, all because of you
கானல் போல காலம் என்பது
கண்கள் முன்னே தூரம் போகுது
தேடல் எல்லாம் தோல்வி ஆனது
எல்லாம் யாரால
Time is like a mirage
Receding into the distance right before my eyes
All my searches have ended in failure
All because of whom?
நான் காணும் கனா
நீயா நீயா
நான் தேடும் வினா
நீயா நீயா

Vaazhkai adhu pol maayam aanadhu
Life has become an illusion just like that
Kaayam inga kaadhal aanadhu
The wound here has turned into love
Yeno unnaala
Why, all because of you
Kaanal pola kaalam enbadhu
Time is like a mirage
Kangal munne dhooram pogudhu
Receding into the distance right before my eyes
