நகருதே நகருதே
இந்த நிமிடம் நகருதே
எந்தன் இதயம் பதறுதே......
உன்னைவிட்டுச் செல்ல வலிக்குதே
It moves, it moves
This minute is moving
My heart is fluttering in anxiety
It hurts to leave you behind
இதயத்தில் கத்தியை நுழைக்காதே
இத்தனை இடி அது பொறுக்காதே
நீ தந்த நினைவுகள் மறக்காதே
நான் இறந்தால்கூட இறக்காதே
Like a knife into the heart
Do not pierce
It cannot bear this many thunderbolts
The memories you gave
Will not be forgotten
Even if I die, they won't die
இதயத்தில் கத்தியை நுழைக்காதே
இத்தனை இடி அது பொறுக்காதே
நீ தரும் பிரிவுகள் தாங்காதே
என் உயிரே உயிரை விலகா....தே
Like a knife into the heart
Do not pierce
It cannot bear this many thunderbolts
I cannot endure the separation you give
My life, my soul, do not depart
தேவதை உன்னிடம் நான்
வரமா கேட்ப்பேன் கேளடி
தேவதை உன்னையே
வரமாய் கேட்ப்பேன் நானடி
தூங்கினால் தூக்கத்தில்
கனவிலும் கேட்கும்
உந்தன் காலடி.....ஈ.....
எதற்கேன் இந்த இடைவெளி
ஏனடி.....ஏ...
Oh angel, from you
Listen to what boon I will ask, girl
Oh angel, you yourself
I will ask as a boon, girl
When I sleep, in my sleep
I hear your footsteps in my dream...
Why is there this distance for me, girl...
இதயத்தில் கத்தியை நுழைக்காதே
இத்தனை இடி அது பொறுக்காதே
நீ தந்த நினைவுகள் மறக்காதே
நான் இறந்தால்கூட இறக்காதே ஹோ ஓ.....
Like a knife into the heart
Do not pierce
It cannot bear this many thunderbolts
The memories you gave
Will not be forgotten
Even if I die, they won't die
Hoo wow wowu ow
