நீயாகவே நானாகிறேன்
I am becoming you,
நீயாகவே நானாகிறேன்
பனியில் நனையும் இதழ் ஆகிறேன்
உலகம் முழுதும் அழகாய் மாற
சுகமாய் நானும் சரிந்தே போனேன்
I am becoming you.
I become a petal drenched in dew.
As the whole world transforms into beauty,
I gently yielded into bliss.
நீயாகவே நானாகிறேன்
பனியில் நனையும் இதழ் ஆகிறேன்
பூ போலவே லேசாகிறேன்
நிலவின் குளிரை போல் ஆகிறேன்
I am becoming you,
I become a petal drenched in dew.
I become light like a flower,
I become cool like the moonlight.
நில்லாத கதவை
மெதுவாக திறந்து
பொல்லாத காதல் நுழைகின்றதே
அடை மழையை தாங்கும்
சிறு மேகம் எங்கே
குடைக்குள்ளே வந்து நிற்கின்றதே
The door that never stays closed,
Opening slowly,
Mischievous love enters inside.
Bearing the heavy downpour,
Where is that tiny cloud?
It comes and stands inside the abode.
நீ எங்கு செல்லும் தூரம் எல்லாம்
உன்னுடைய நிழலாக நான் மாறுவேன்
காற்றுக்குள் ஒளிகின்ற பூவாசமாய்
காணாமல் என்னை நான் தேடினேன்
To whatever distance you go,
I will turn into your shadow.
Like the fragrance of flowers hidden within the wind,
I searched for myself after losing my way.
நீயாகவே நானாகிறேன்
பனியில் நனையும் இதழ் ஆகிறேன்
பூ போலவே லேசாகிறேன்
நிலவின் குளிரை போல் ஆகிறேன்
I am becoming you,
I become a petal drenched in dew.
I become light like a flower,
I become cool like the moonlight.
Neeyagavae nanaagiren
I am becoming you,
Neeyagavae nanaagiren
I am becoming you.
Paniyil nanaiyum idhal aagiren
I become a petal drenched in dew.
Ulagam muluthum azhagaai maara
As the whole world transforms into beauty,
Sugamai naanum sarinthae ponen
I gently yielded into bliss.
Neeyagavae nanaagiren
I am becoming you,
Paniyil nanaiyum idhal aagiren
I become a petal drenched in dew.
Poo polavae lesaagiren
I become light like a flower,
Nilavin kulirai pol agiren
I become cool like the moonlight.
Nillaatha kadhavai
The door that never stays closed,
Methuvaaga thiranthu
Opening slowly,
Pollatha kaadhal nulaigindrathae
Mischievous love enters inside.
Adai mazhaiyai thaangum
Bearing the heavy downpour,
Siru megam engae
Where is that tiny cloud?
Kudikkullae vanthu nirkkindrathae
It comes and stands inside the abode.
Nee engu sellum thooram ellaam
To whatever distance you go,
Unnudaiya nilalaaga naan maaruven
I will turn into your shadow.
Kaatrukkul oligindra poovasamaai
Like the fragrance of flowers hidden within the wind,
Kaanamal ennai naan thedinen
I searched for myself after losing my way.
Neeyagavae nanaagiren
I am becoming you,
Paniyil nanaiyum idhal aagiren
I become a petal drenched in dew.
Poo polavae lesaagiren
I become light like a flower,
Nilavin kulirai pol agiren
I become cool like the moonlight.
