நீ நீ போதுமே!
அட! பார்வை என ஒன்று தேவை இல்லை
நீ வழிகாட்டினால்
என் வாழ்க்கையும் வாழுமே!
You, you alone are enough!
Ah! No sight/eyesight is needed
If you show the path
My life too will thrive!
வா வா தூரலே!
இனி பாலைவனம் இந்த வாழ்வில் இல்லை…
பேரன்பொன்றிலே
இளைப்பாறுதே காதலே!
Come, come, oh gentle drizzle
There is no longer a desert in this life...
In immense love
Love rests peacefully!
ஒளியே இல்லாத பூவொன்று
வெளிச்ச கரையில் சேர்ந்ததே!
ஒரு வினா இல்லாமல்
நெஞ்சில் நெஞ்சில்
கொஞ்சம் சாயவா!
A flower that had no light
Has now reached the illuminated shore!
Without a single question
In your heart, in your heart
May I lean a little?
உனையே கண்ணாக
கொண்டேன் நானே!
கானம் யாவும்
காதலே…
திருவிழா என்னாளும்
அன்பில் அன்பில்
அன்பில் காட்டவா!
Having made you my eyes
I have accepted you as mine!
Everything I see
Is only love...
Every day is a celebration
In love, in love
Shall I shower you with love?
விடும் மூச்சில்
உடல் தீயாகும்
விழும் வேர்வையே!
இங்கு பாயாகும்
பெறும் மெளனமே!
இங்கு சங்கீதம்
எதை கேட்டிடும்
என் மனம்?
In every exhaled breath
The body turns into fire
And the falling sweat!
Becomes a mat spread out here
A profound silence!
Is music here
What will my heart
Listen to?
உடல் மீறியே
எழும் ஆவேசம்
அட! தாங்குமோ
அந்த ஆகாசம்…
இது ஆசையாய்
வந்த ஆயாசம்
இவன் காதலே
கல்மிஷம்…
Transcending the physical body
An overwhelming passion arises
Ah! Will even that vast sky
Be able to bear it...
This fatigue that came
Out of deep desire
His love is pure and untainted...
Without any impurity...
நீ நீ போதுமே!
அட! பார்வை என ஒன்று தேவை இல்லை
நீ வழிகாட்டினால்
என் வாழ்க்கையும் வாழுமே!
You, you alone are enough!
Ah! No sight/eyesight is needed
If you show the path
My life too will thrive!
கவிதை கனமே!
இனிய கனமே…
பெரிய வரமே
வா வா வா வா வா…
Oh poetic moment!
Oh sweet melody...
Oh great boon
Come, come, come, come, come...
இனிய வலியே!
வலியின் முறையே…
தினவின் பொறியே!
அனைக்கும் பனியே…
புதிய கவியே…
எதுவும் சரியே…
வா வா வா வா வா…

கோடி விண்மீன்கள்
வானில் உண்டாம்
எனது விண்மீன்கள்
நீ தானே…
வாரி அணைக்கின்ற
அன்பின் கையில்
வாஞ்சையாய் பூக்கின்றேன்…
Ten million stars
Are said to exist in the sky
My star
Is only you...
In the arms of love
That hold me tight
I bloom with affection...
யாரும் உதவாத
வாழ்வில் இன்று
யானை பலம் போல
வந்தாயே…
நானம் விலகாத
போதும் அன்பே!
மார்பிலே சாய்கிறேன்….
In a life where no one helped
Today like the strength of an elephant
You arrived...
Even when shyness doesn't fade
My beloved love
I lean against your chest...
In every exhaled breath
விடும் மூச்சில்
உடல் தீயாகும்
விழும் வேர்வையே!
இங்கு பாயாகும்
பெறும் மெளனமே!
இங்கு சங்கீதம்
எதை கேட்டிடும்
என் மனம்?
The body turns into fire
And the falling sweat!
Becomes a mat spread out here
A profound silence!
Is music here
What will my heart
Listen to?
Oh companion across births...
பிறவி துணையே…
உறவின் சுனையே…
வினையின் வினையே…
வா வா வா வா வா…
Oh spring of relationship...
Oh consequence of destiny...
Come, come, come, come, come...
Forgetting the world
உலகம் மறந்து

வா வா வா வா வா…

Seeking a time
யாரும் இல்லாத
நேரம் பார்த்து
காதலில் என்னை
சாய்ப்பாயே!
When no one else is around
In love, you would make me
Incline towards you...
A womanhood that I myself had not felt
நானும் உணராத
பெண்மை இங்கு
காதலும் காட்டுதே…
கண்ணும் காணாத
கண்ணீர் போல
நானும் உள்ளேயே
வந்தேனே!
Here love reveals to me
It shows me...
Like tears unseen
By eyes
I too lived inside myself
Unseen!
Like a shining star
That stands bright
நின்று ஒளிவீசும்
வின்மீண் போல
வாழ்க்கையே
ஆனாதே…
My life has become
Joyful...
In every exhaled breath
The body turns into fire
விடும் மூச்சில்
உடல் தீயாகும்
விழும் வேர்வையே!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This soulful track expresses the profound depth of love, blind trust, and intense intimacy between two soulmates. The lyrics invoke auspicious wedding imagery of Rama and Sita, evolving into a deeply emotional and sensory confession. The protagonist speaks of how love acts as a guiding light for someone living in darkness, making physical sight redundant because love itself becomes the vision guiding life's journey.
