வசனம் :
...............
Just a single moment, a single second
This moment in our lives
To unite with you even in my dreams
My heart yearns deeply
ஒரு கணம் ஒரு நொடி
இது நம் வாழ்விலே
கனவிலும் உனை சேர
மனம் ஏங்குதே
In a child's tender heart
A pain that is felt every day
Just like that, within me
It is taking shape
மழலையின் மனதில்
தினம் புரியா வலி
அதுபோலே எனக்குள்
உருவாகுதே
Love inside the heart
Is a magical illusion
Masculinity and femininity
Find endless bliss in it
நெஞ்சிலே காதலும்
ஒரு மாயபிம்பம்
ஆண்மையும் பெண்மையும்
அதில் தீரா இன்பம்
To establish a bond through the eyes
A deep feeling is required
Silence itself becomes the sounds of love
கண்களில் உறவு கொள்ள
ஓர் உணர்வு வேண்டும்
மெளனமே காதலின் ஒலிகளாய்
Just a single moment, a single second
This moment in our lives
To unite with you even in my dreams
My heart yearns deeply
ஒரு கணம் ஒரு நொடி
இது நம் வாழ்விலே
கனவிலும் உனை சேர
மனம் ஏங்குதே
On the path that you walk
For me to walk along with you
Overcoming all the struggles
To narrate our love story
நீ போகும் பாதையில்
உன்னோடு நான் செல்ல
வழிகள் கடந்து நம் காதல்
கதை சொல்ல
The claim that love is a lie
Those words are not true
My desire keeps searching for you
காதல் பொய் என்ற
வார்த்தைகள் நிஜமல்ல
என் ஆசை உனை தேடுதே
Why do you play a trick of destiny?
You yourself become my refreshing rain
You become the eyelid and the eye
In every movement, you become a language
ஏனோ ஒரு விதி செய்யுற
நீயே என் மழையாகுற
இமையே நீ விழியாகுற
அசைவில் ஒரு மொழியாகுற
Enticement is born, hesitation is forgotten
Shall I hold your hand right now?
Longing fades and a bond is born
Oh girl, shall I look into your eyes?
மயக்கம் பிறக்க தயக்கம் மறக்கும்
என்றே நான் உந்தன் கை கோர்க்கவா
ஏக்கம் மறந்து உறவு பிறக்கும்
பெண்ணே நான் உனை பார்க்கவா
On the path that you walk
For me to walk along with you
Overcoming all the struggles
To narrate our love story
நீ போகும் பாதையில்
உன்னோடு நான் செல்ல
வழிகள் கடந்து நம் காதல்
கதை சொல்ல
The claim that love is a lie
Those words are not true
My desire keeps searching for you
காதல் பொய் என்ற
வார்த்தைகள் நிஜமல்ல
என் ஆசை உனை தேடுதே
On the path that you walk
For me to walk along with you
Overcoming all the struggles, our love
To narrate the story
நீ போகும் பாதையில்
உன்னோடு நான் செல்ல
வழிகள் கடந்து நம் காதல்
கதை சொல்ல
The claim that love is a lie
Those words are not true
My desire keeps searching for you
காதல் பொய் என்ற
வார்த்தைகள் நிஜமல்ல
என் ஆசை உனை தேடுதே
Just a single moment, a single second
This moment in our lives
