நான் உன்னை அழைக்கவில்லை
என் உயிரை அழைக்கிறேன்
கண்ணை மறைத்துக் கொண்டால்
மனதில் எண்ணம் மறைவதில்லை
I am not calling you
I am calling my own soul
If you hide your eyes
The thoughts in the heart do not disappear
ஏன் உன்னை மறைத்து கொண்டாய்
என்ன நின்னைத்து கொண்டாய்
என்னை புரிந்து கொண்டால் என்றும்
உன்னை அறிந்து கொள்வாய்
என்றும் உன்னை அறிந்து கொள்வாய்
Why did you hide yourself?
What did you think?
If you understand me
You will know yourself
Forever you will know yourself
நான் உன்னை அழைக்கவில்லை
என் உயிரை அழைக்கிறேன்
கண்ணை மறைத்துக் கொண்டால்
மனதில் எண்ணம் மறைவதில்லை
I am not calling you
I am calling my own soul
If you hide your eyes
The thoughts in the heart do not disappear
Naan unnai azhaikkavillai
I am not calling you
En uyirai azhaikkiren
I am calling my own soul
Kannai maraithukkondaal
If you hide your eyes
Manadhil ennam maraivadhillai
The thoughts in the heart do not disappear
Yen unnai maraithu kondaai
Why did you hide yourself?
Enna ninathu kondaai
What did you think?
Ennai purinthu kondaal endrum
If you understand me
Unnai arinthu kolvaai
You will know yourself
Endrum unnai arinthu kolvaai
Forever you will know yourself
Naan unnai azhaikkavillai
I am not calling you
En uyirai azhaikkiren
I am calling my own soul
Kannai maraithukkondaal
If you hide your eyes
Manadhil ennam maraivadhillai
The thoughts in the heart do not disappear
