As it utters your name
My heart flutters every single day
Without you here, what else is in life?
It is merely a harsh summer season

கண்ணில் என்றும் உன் சொப்பனமே
விழி காணும் காட்சி யாவும் உந்தன்
வண்ணக் கோலம்தான்
My mind is entirely under your spell
In my eyes, it is always your dream
Every sight my eyes behold

Sleep has vanished from my eyes
Your enchantment lingers in my heart
What ever fades or ever diminishes here?
It is your memory
உன்னிடம் சொல்வதற்கு
எண்ணம் ஒன்றல்ல நூறிருக்கு
அதை நீயும் கேட்க நானும் சொல்ல
ஏது வாசகம்
To express to you
My thoughts are not just one, but a hundred
For you to listen and for me to say
Where is the suitable expression?
பாதச் சுவடுகள் போகும்
பாதை அறிந்திங்கு நானும்
கூட வருகின்ற போதும்
கூட மறுப்பதோ நீயும்
உள்ளக் கதவினை மெல்லத் திறந்திங்கு
நெஞ்சில் இடம் தர வேண்டும்
Along the path where footsteps lead
Knowing the direction, I too walk
Even when I try to walk alongside you
Do you refuse to walk with me?
Gently open the inner door of your heart now
And grant a space for me in your soul
ஊரெல்லாம் உன் பாட்டுதான்
உள்ளத்தை மீட்டுது
நாளெல்லாம் உன் பார்வைதான்
இன்பத்தைக் கூட்டுது
