Neeyum naanum serndhe sellum neramae

As you and I walk together,
There is not even blue in the sky,
Everywhere, only white clouds.
Let all my fears and desires be set aside,
Let all my joys and sorrows belong to you.
{Oh, I am day and night,
You are the sun and the moon.
In my sunshine and rain,
Your umbrella is beautiful.} (2)
Sharp like a cactus thorn,
To pluck me like a cluster of flowers,
To gather me up entirely,
Came this girl!
With the end of her saree fluttering,
What can I say about this blessed girl?
To kill me with her kisses,
Came this girl!
I need you,
Whatever state I am in, for me,
You are enough.
In a world without sound,
You turned into music yourself
And drifted in the breeze,
Female: Whispering into my ears.
In a wordless silence,
Stringing words together with your eyes,
You spoke with your eyes,
Female: Spoke with your eyes.
For a hundred years with you,
I want to live upon this earth;
My home longs for you, my girl.
{Oh, I am day and night,
You are the sun and the moon.
In my sunshine and rain,
Your umbrella is beautiful.} (2)
Sharp like a cactus thorn,
To pluck me like a cluster of flowers,
To gather me up entirely,
Came this girl!
With the end of her saree fluttering,
What can I say about this blessed girl?
To kill me with her kisses,
Came this girl!
I need you,
Whatever state I am in, for me,
You are enough.
{Sharp like a cactus thorn,
To pluck me like a cluster of flowers,
To gather me up entirely,
Came this girl!
With the end of her saree fluttering,
What can I say about this blessed girl?
To kill me with her kisses,
Came this girl!} (3)
