ஹூ ஓரே ஒரு மூச்சுதான்டி
ஒரே ஒரு ஆசைதான்டி
உன்ன மறக்காத நெஞ்சம்தான் கேப்பேன்டி
உன் பார்வை காதல் வார்த்தை என்னது
உன் கோவம் உன் சந்தோசம் என்னது
Hoo, beyond a single breath,
Beyond a single desire,
It asks only for a heart that will never forget you, my dear!
Your glance and your words of love belong to me.
Your anger and your happiness belong to me.
ஒரே ஒரு ஜென்மம்தான்டி
ஒரே ஒரு உண்மைதான்டி
உன மறக்காத நெஞ்சம்தான்
ஏய் ஏய் இஹ்ஹ்ஹ்
Beyond a single lifetime,
Beyond a single truth,
Is the heart that will never forget you...
Hey hey eh ehhh
அலையடிக்கிற காத்து மேல
சிறகடிக்கிற காகம் போல
நானும் பறந்து போகிறேன்
உன் உறவே பிரியமான மா
Upon the winds blowing like waves,
Like a crow flapping its wings,
I am flying away too.
If your affection becomes dear to me,
காத்து கரையும் ஓசையும்
உன் உசுரே ஒரு சிகரம் ஆகும்மா
என் பொஞ்ஜாதியே
Along with the sound of the wind fading away,
Your very life will become a towering peak!
Oh, my wife!
ஓரே ஒரு மூச்சுதான்டி
ஒரே ஒரு ஆசைதான்டி
உன்ன மறக்காத நெஞ்சம்தான் கேப்பேன்டி
உன் பார்வை காதல் வார்த்தை என்னது
உன் கோவம் உன் சந்தோசம் என்னது
Beyond a single breath,
Beyond a single desire,
It asks only for a heart that will never forget you, my dear!
Your glance and your words of love belong to me.
Your sadness and your happiness belong to me.
Hoo orae oru moochu thaandi
Hoo, beyond a single breath,
Orae oru aasa thaandi
Beyond a single desire,
Una marakkadha nenjam than keppendi
It asks only for a heart that will never forget you, my dear!
Un paarvai kaadhal vaartha ennadhu
Your glance and your words of love belong to me.
Un kovam un sandhosam ennadhu
Your anger and your happiness belong to me.
Orae oru jenmam thaandi
Beyond a single lifetime,
Orae oru unma thaandi
Beyond a single truth,
Una marakkadha nenjam than
Is the heart that will never forget you...
Hey hey eh ehhh
Hey hey eh ehhh
Alaiyadikkira kaathu mela
Upon the winds blowing like waves,
Siragadikkira kaagam pola
Like a crow flapping its wings,
Naanum paranthu pogiren
I am flying away too.
Un urave piriyamaana maa
If your affection becomes dear to me,
Kaathu karaiyum osaiyum
Along with the sound of the wind fading away,
Un usurae oru sigaram aagum maa
Your very life will become a towering peak!
En ponjaathiyae
Oh, my wife!
Orae oru moochu thaandi
Beyond a single breath,
Orae oru aasa thaandi
Beyond a single desire,
Una marakkadha nenjam than keppendi
It asks only for a heart that will never forget you, my dear!
Un paarvai kaadhal vaartha ennadhu
Your glance and your words of love belong to me.
Un sogam un sandhosam ennadhu
