In the night
I was always thinking about you
In my dreams
Angels pave the way
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
நட்ட நடு ராத்திரியை
பட்ட பகல் ஆக்கி விட்டாய்
என் விழியில் நீ விழுந்து
என் தூக்கத்தையும் போக்கி
விட்டாய்
In the middle of the midnight
You turned it into bright daylight
Falling into my eyes
Even my sleep
You drove it away
கொட்ட கொட்ட
நான் முழித்து கிட்ட தட்ட
தூங்கி விட்டேன் என்
கனவில் நீ நுழைந்து
என்னை மீண்டும் மீண்டும்
எழுப்பி விட்டாய்
Staring wide awake with eyes wide open
I almost fell asleep
Entering into my dream
Me again and again
You woke me up
கிட்ட கிட்ட நீயும்
வர கெட்ட கெட்ட
சொப்பனங்கள் என்னை
சுட்டு பொசுக்குதடா
As you come closer and closer
Bad bad dreams
Burn and scorch me, oh dear
பற்றி கொண்டது
என் மனசு என்னை ஊற்றும்
உன் வயசு தீ பிடித்து
எரியுதடா
My heart caught fire
Your youth that pours into me
Is burning with fire, oh dear
நட்ட நடு ராத்திரியை
பட்ட பகல் ஆக்கி விட்டாய்
என் விழியில் நீ விழுந்து
என் தூக்கத்தையும் போக்கி
விட்டாய்
In the middle of the midnight
You turned it into bright daylight
Falling into my eyes
Even my sleep
You drove it away
பூக்கள் எல்லாம்
அட பூக்கள் இல்லை உன்
புன்னகை போல் நான்
பார்க்கவில்லை கடனாய்
கொடுப்பாய் உடலை
All these flowers are not flowers at all
I have not seen anything like your smile
Lend me your body as a loan
உன் பேச்சினிலே
ஒரு நேசம் கண்டேன் கண்
பார்வையிலே ஒரு பாசம்
கண்டேன் உன்னை நான்
எனதாய் உணர்ந்தேன்
In your speech, I saw affection
In the glance of your eyes, I saw deep love
I felt you as my own
விழி ஓரமாய் பல
கனவு என்னை மொய்க்குதே
தினம் இரவு உறக்கம் தந்திடு
உறங்கும் நேரத்தில் கனவில்
வந்திடு
At the corner of my eyes, many dreams
Swarm around me every night
Give me sleep
At the time of sleeping
Come into my dream...
நட்ட நடு ராத்திரியை
பட்ட பகல் ஆக்கி விட்டாய்
என் விழியில் நீ விழுந்து
என் தூக்கத்தையும்
போக்கி விட்டாய்
In the middle of the midnight
You turned it into bright daylight
Falling into my eyes
Even my sleep
You drove it away
கொட்ட கொட்ட
நான் முழித்து கிட்ட தட்ட
தூங்கி விட்டேன் என்
கனவில் நீ நுழைந்து
என்னை மீண்டும் மீண்டும்
எழுப்பி விட்டாய்
Staring wide awake with eyes wide open
I almost fell asleep
Entering into my dream
Me again and again
You woke me up
உன் வார்த்தையிலே
என் உயிர் சிலிர்க்கும் கண்
பார்வையிலே பெரும் மழை
அடிக்கும் வயதோ கொதியாய்
கொதிக்கும்
In your words, my soul thrills
In the glance of your eyes, heavy rain strikes
Age boils intensely like a heat wave
உன் நினைவுகளோ
என்னில் படை எடுக்கும் என்
விரல் நுனியோ தொட அடம்
பிடிக்கும் இரவில் உயிரே
வெடிக்கும்
Your memories invade inside me
My fingertips stubbornly insist to touch
At night, my soul bursts
கடிகாரமாய் எந்தன்
மனது உன்னை சுற்றியே
வரும் பொழுது பிரியமானவா
பிறவி நீக்கவா தனிமை நீங்க
My mind like a clock
As it revolves around you
My beloved one
Shall I remove the separation?
For solitude to vanish...
நட்ட நடு ராத்திரியை
பட்ட பகல் ஆக்கி விட்டாய்
என் விழியில் நீ விழுந்து
