நீ நீ நீ வா என்று
இதயம் கூப்பிடுதே
நீ நீ நீ நீதான் என்று
மவுனம் பேசிடுதே
Saying you, you, you, come
The heart is calling out
Saying you, you, you are the one
Silence speaks
Blooming at the corner of the eyes
Is a smile of happiness
The future applauds and blesses
As nail touches nail
May every day become a flower
From now on, happiness on this high island
கண்ணோரம் பூக்கும்
சந்தோஷ சிரிப்பு
கைத்தட்டி வாழ்த்தும் எதிர்காலமே
நகத்தோட நகம் தீண்ட
நாளெல்லாம் பூவாக
உயிர் தீவில் இனிமேல் சந்தோசமே.....
Saying you, you, you, come
The heart calls
Saying you, you, you are the one
Silence spoke
நீ நீ நீ வா என்று
இதயம் கூப்பிடுதே
நீ நீ நீ நீதான் என்று
மவுனம் பேசிடுதே
To put a lock on desire
Who will be there?
To place a barrier to love
Will anyone come?
ஓ ஆசைக்கு தாள் போட
யார் இருப்பாரோ
அன்புக்கு தடை கூற
ஆள் வருவாரோ
Without telling, without killing
Desire came, did it?
Without listening even when told
Love came, did it?
சொல்லாமல் கொள்ளாமல்
ஆசை வந்ததோ
சொல்லியும் கேட்காமல்
காதல் வந்ததோ ஓ....
Leaning the head on shoulders
On the day we share stories
Words from a previous birth
Come to the tongue
தோளில் தலை சாய்த்து
கதைகள் பேசும் நாளில்
பூர்வ ஜென்மத்தின்
வார்த்தை வரும் நாவில்
உள்ளம் ஒன்றானால்
ஆனந்த கொண்டாட்டமோ...ஓ.....
When hearts become one
Is it a joyful celebration?
ஆண் மற்றும் பெண் :
நீ நீ நீ வா என்று
இதயம் கூப்பிடுதே
நீ நீ நீ நீதான் என்று
மவுனம் பேசிடுதே
Oh... will shyness alone
Teach us about love?
Will the sweet anger of kisses
Burn the heart?
ஓ.....வெட்கம்தான் காதலை
சொல்லித் தருமோ
முத்தத்தின் கோவங்கள்
நெஞ்சை சுடுமோ
Equal to a soothing lullaby
Is the affection here
To praise this, where are
The millions of letters?
தாலாட்டுக்
கிளையான பாசமிங்கே
பாராட்ட பல கோடி லெட்டர் எங்கே
Without blinking an eye
The time made to wait
Without hurting even a bit
We shall gently pinch
கண்ணினை இமைக்காமல்
காக்க வைத்த நேரம்
கொஞ்சம் வலிக்காமல்
கிள்ளி இருப்போம்
உயிரில் உயிர் சேர்ந்து
உலகாளும் உற்சாகமோ.....ஓ....
When soul joins with soul
Is it a world-ruling excitement?
ஆண் மற்றும் பெண் :
நீ நீ நீ வா என்று
இதயம் கூப்பிடுதே
நீ நீ நீ நீதான் என்று
மவுனம் பேசிடுதே
Blooming at the corner of the eyes
Is a smile of happiness
The future applauds and blesses
As nail touches nail
May every day become a flower
From now on, happiness on this high island

நீ நீ நீ நீதான் என்று
மவுனம் பேசிடுதே
