நீ தூரமாய் போனாலும்
உன் காலடி நிழலாய் வருவேன்
உன் சுவாசக் காற்றின் புயலாக
உன்னை துரத்தி வருவேனே
Even if you go far away
I will come as the shadow at your footsteps
As the storm of your breathing air
I will chase after you
நீ தூரமாய் போனாலும்
உன் காலடி நிழலாய் வருவேன்
உன் சுவாசக் காற்றின் புயலாக
உன்னை துரத்தி வருவேனே
Even if you go far away
I will come as the shadow at your footsteps
As the storm of your breathing air
I will chase after you
நீ ஓடி போனாலும்
உன்னை தேடி வருவேனே
Even if you run away
I will come searching for you
தீயை மூடி வைத்தால்
தெரியாமல் போய் விடுமா
தீமைகள் காலை சுற்றும்
பாம்பை சுற்றிடுமா
If you conceal the fire
Will it remain unseen?
Sins around the feet
Will they coil like a snake?
உண்மை புதைத்து வைத்தால்
மண்ணோடு போய் விடுமா
உள்ளே உறங்காமல்
ஊசிகள் குத்திடுமா
If you bury the truth
Will it dissolve into the earth?
Without sleeping inside
Will needles pierce?
உன் சாபம் தொடர்ந்திடுமா
என் காலம் தொடங்கிடுமா
Will your curse continue?
Will my time begin?
நீ தூரமாய் போனாலும்
உன் காலடி நிழலாய் வருவேன்
உன் சுவாசக் காற்றின் புயலாக
உன்னை துரத்தி வருவேனே
Even if you go far away
I will come as the shadow at your footsteps
As the storm of your breathing air
I will chase after you
நீ தூரமாய் போனாலும்
உன் காலடி நிழலாய் வருவேன்
உன் சுவாசக் காற்றின் புயலாக
உன்னை துரத்தி வருவேனே
Even if you go far away
I will come as the shadow at your footsteps
As the storm of your breathing air
I will chase after you
நீ ஓடி போனாலும்
உன்னை தேடி வருவேனே
Even if you run away
I will come searching for you
அன்பே என் பெயரை
அழகென்று சொல்வார்கள்
ஆனால் எனக்கென்று
உருவம் ஏதும் இல்லை
My love, my name
They say is beauty
But for me
There is no physical form
மௌனம் எந்தன் மொழி
என்றாலும் கூச்சல் வரும்
மனதில் என்னில் தானே
என்றும் யுத்தம் வரும்
Silence is my language
Yet a clamor will arise
The thoughts in the mind alone
Always bring about war
என் வேட்கை வென்றிடுமா
உன் வாழ்க்கை வென்றிடுமா
Will my desire win?
Will your life win?
{நீ தூரமாய் போனாலும்
உன் காலடி நிழலாய் வருவேன்
உன் சுவாசக் காற்றின் புயலாக
உன்னை துரத்தி வருவேனே} (2)
Even if you go far away
I will come as the shadow at your footsteps
