பனித்துளி விழுவதால்
அணையாது தீபம்
தொலைவிலே கிடைத்ததே
எனக்கான யாவும்
Just because a dewdrop falls
A lamp will not go out
From a distance, I found
Everything that was meant for me
அவனோடு பேசும் போது
அது போல வார்த்தை ஏது
உன் தூரமும் என் தூரமும்
கண்கள் காணாமல்
When talking to him
What words can match those?
Your distance and my distance
Without eyes seeing each other
பனித்துளி விழுவதால்
அணையாது தீபம்
தொலைவிலே கிடைத்ததே
எனக்கான யாவும்
Just because a dewdrop falls
A lamp will not go out
From a distance, I found
Everything that was meant for me
அவனோடு பேசும் போது
அது போல வார்த்தை ஏது
உன் தூரமும் என் தூரமும்
கண்கள் காணாமல்
When talking to him
What words can match those?
Your distance and my distance
Without eyes seeing each other
ஆ...ஆஅ....ஆஅ....ஆஅ...ஆ....
என் காலம் எதிர்காலம்
எனக்கொன்றும் தெரியாதே ...ஏ
காணாத பெண் காதல்
கண்ணீரில் கரையாதே ...ஏ
Aaa... aaa... aaa... aa... aa...
My present and my future
I know nothing about them...
An unseen girl's love
Does not dissolve in tears...
தோட்டாவை மழையாக நான் தூறுவேன்
தூக்கத்தில் உன் பேரை நான் கூறுவேன்
அண்ணாந்து நான் பார்க்க ஆகாயம் தீ காயம்
ஒரு பார்வை நீ தீண்ட உயிர் வாழ்கிறேன்
Like rain that touches gently
I will drizzle
In my sleep, your name
I will utter
As I look up and see
The sky feels like a fiery wound
If you touch me with a single glance
I stay alive
அவனோடு பேசும் போது
அது போல வார்த்தை ஏது
உன் தூரமும் என் தூரமும்
கண்கள் காணாமல்
When talking to him
What words can match those?
Your distance and my distance
Without eyes seeing each other
இருவரும் இணைவது வயது தீண்டாமையே
கடவுளே கொடுப்பினும் எனக்கு வேண்டாமே
The union of us two
Is untouched by age
Even if God grants it to me
I do not desire it
நீ காணும் கனவு அவள் இல்லையே
உன் காதல் கனவு அவள் இல்லையே
நான் உன்னை நீ என்னை ஏன் வேதனை
உன் தூரமும் என் தூரமும் கண்கள் காணாமல்
This girl is not the dream you see
She is not the feast for your love
Me for you, and you for me
Why this pain?
Your distance and my distance
Without eyes seeing each other
