| En paarvaigal maari ponadhu | My gaze has changed |
| En paadhaigal maari ponadhu | My paths have changed |
| Kaaranam nee endranadhu | The reason has become you |
| En kaalgal yen melae pogudhu | Why are my feet floating upwards? |

| Un kalavaram kanda kangalai | Your eyes that have seen anxiety |
| Konjam ennai thaan nambi paarka vai | Make them trust me a little and look at me |
| Un kavasamaai ennai maattivai | Turn me into your protective armor |
| Un manadhilae ennai poottivai | Lock me inside your heart |

என் பார்வைகள் மாறி போனது
என் பாதைகள் மாறி போனது
காரணம் நீ என்றானது
என் கால்கள் ஏன் மேலே போகுது
My gaze has changed
My paths have changed
The reason has become you
Why are my feet floating upwards?
உன் கலவரம் கண்ட கண்களை
கொஞ்சம் என்னைத்தான் நம்பி பார்க்க வை
உன் கவசமாய் என்னை மாட்டிவை
உன் மனதிலே என்னை பூட்டிவை
Your eyes that have seen anxiety
Make them trust me a little and look at me
Turn me into your protective armor
Lock me inside your heart
நான் உன் ஜோஷ்வா
என்னோடு சேர்ந்து வாழவா
விண்ணையும் தாண்டி போவோம்
வருவாயா
I am your Joshua
Come live together with me
We will go beyond the skies
Will you come?
ஹோ ஹோ வா வா என்னோடு வா
எந்தன் உலகத்தை காண வா
எங்கு போனாலும்
என்னை கூட்டி செல்வாயா
Ho ho, come, come with me
Come to see my world
Wherever you go, will you take me
Along with you?
விசில் :
.................................
Come and sit on my lap
Hide me inside your hair
Dissolve me in a single bite
Embrace me within your grip
என் மடியிலே வந்து அமர்ந்திடு
உன் முடியினுள் என்னை மறைத்திடு
ஒரு கடியிலே என்னை கரைத்திடு
உன் பிடியிலே என்னை அணைத்திடு
The smile upon your face
Serve it for me to devour with my eyes
The lip color upon your lips
Smear it on my face and let it dry
உன் முகத்திலே உள்ள சிரிப்பினை
என் கண்களால் தின்ன எடுத்துவை
உன் உதட்டின் மேல் உள்ள சாயத்தை
என் முகத்திலே பூசி காய வை
I am your Joshua
Come to see my world
Wherever you go, will you take me
Along with you?
நான் உன் ஜோஷ்வா
எந்தன் உலகத்தை காண வா
எங்கு போனாலும்
என்னை கூட்டி செல்வாயா
As I remain forever like the ground
As you lie over me like a shadow
To hold you, even if it parts my life
Protecting you like an eyelid protects the eye
விசில் :
.................................
I will live every day...
நிலம் போல நான் என்றும் இருக்க
நிழல் போல நீ என் மேல் கிடக்க
உன்னை தாங்கிட என் உயிர் பிரிக்க
இமை போலே நான் உன்னை காக்க
My gaze has changed
My paths too have changed
The reason has become you
My feet too are heading upwards
வாழ்வேனே தினம்....
In your eyes that have seen anxiety
Make them trust me a little and look at me
Turn me into your armor... turn me
Lock me inside your heart
என் பார்வைகள் மாறி போனது
என் பாதைகளும் மாறி போனது
காரணம் நீ என்றானது
என் கால்களும் மேலே நோக்கி போகுது
I am your Joshua
Come live together with me
We will go beyond the skies
Will you come?
உன் கலவரம் கண்ட கண்களை
கொஞ்சம் என்னைத்தான் நம்பி பார்க்க வை
உன் கவசமாய் என்னை மாட்டிவை
உன் மனதிலே என்னை பூட்டிவை
Ho ho, come, come with me
Come to see my world
Wherever you go, will you take me
Along with you?
[Whistle]
Male: Whatever I do, will you accept me
And embrace me?

என்னை சேர்த்து கொள்வாயா
