{ நட்பினிலே
நட்பினிலே பிரிவு
என்பது ஏதும் இல்லை } (2)
என் மனமும் உன் மனமும்
பேச வார்த்தைகள் தேவை
இல்லை
In friendship… in friendship
There is no such thing as separation
My heart… and your heart
Do not need words to speak
உள்ளுக்குள்ளே
உள்ளுக்குள்ளே ஆயிரம்
எண்ணங்கள் ஓடுதடி
அத்தனையும் அத்தனையும்
உந்தன் பார்வை தேடுதடி
Deep inside… deep inside
A thousand thoughts are running, my dear
All of those… all of those
Are searching for your glance, my dear
எத்தனை நாள்
எத்தனை நாள் இப்படி
நான் வாழ்ந்திருப்பேன்
நீயும் இல்லை என்று
சொன்னால் எந்த நிழலில்
ஓய்வெடுப்பேன்
For how many days… how many days
Will I continue to live like this?
If you say that you are not there
In whose shade will I take rest?
ஓ ஹோ ஓ
ஹோ ஹோ ஓ ஹோ
