நீயும் நானும் சோ்ந்தே
செல்லும் நேரமே நீலம் கூட
வானில் இல்லை எங்கும்
வெள்ளை மேகமே
When it is the time for you and me to walk together
Even the blue is missing from the sky
Everywhere there are white clouds
போக போக ஏனோ
நீளும் தூரமே மேகம் வந்து
போகும் போக்கில் தூறல்
கொஞ்சம் தூறுமே
Let all my fear and desires be set aside
Let all my joys and sorrows reach you
என் அச்சம் ஆசை
எல்லாமே தள்ளி போகட்டும்
எந்தன் இன்பம் துன்பம்
எல்லாமே உன்னை சேரட்டும்
Oh I am day and night
You are the sun and moon
In my sunshine and rain
Your umbrella is beautiful
{ ஓ நான் பகல் இரவு
நீ கதிா் நிலவு என் வெயில்
மழையில் உன் குடை அழகு } (2)
Cactus flower and thorn, thorn
Plucking in bunches, bunches
Gathering in clusters, clusters
The girl who came
Saree end fluttering, fluttering
Great queen, what shall I say
To kill me with kisses
The girl who came
கத்தாழ முள்ள முள்ள
கொத்தோடு கிள்ள கிள்ள
குலையோடு அள்ள அள்ள
வந்த புள்ள முந்தான துள்ள
துள்ள மகராசி என்ன சொல்ல
முத்தத்தால் என்ன கொல்ல
வந்த புள்ள
I need you
In whatever state, for me
You are enough
நீ வேண்டுமே
எந்த நிலையிலும்
எனக்கென நீ போதுமே
In a world without sound
Transforming into music
You blew in the wind
Female: You spoke in my ear
ஒலி இல்லா உலகத்தில்
இசையாக நீயே மாறி
காற்றில் வீசினாய்
பெண் : காதில் பேசினாய்
In a silence without language
Stringing words through your eyes
You spoke with your eyes
Female: You spoke with your eyes
மொழி இல்லா மௌனத்தில்
விழியாலே வாா்த்தை கோா்த்து
கண்ணால் பேசினாய்
பெண் : கண்ணால் பேசினாய்
For a hundred years with you
I must live on this earth
Woman, my home searches for you
நூறு ஆண்டு உன்னோடு
வாழவேண்டும் மண்ணோடு
பெண் உனைத் தேடும் எந்தன் வீடு
Oh I am day and night
You are the sun and moon
In my sunshine and rain
Your umbrella is beautiful
{ ஓ நான் பகல் இரவு
நீ கதிா் நிலவு என் வெயில்
மழையில் உன் குடை அழகு } (2)
