ஆஅ...ஆஅ...ஆஅ...
நீ உன் வானம்
உனக்கென ஓர் நிலவு
நீ உன் பாதை
உனக்கென்றே உன் பூங்காற்று
Ah... ah... ah...
You are your own sky
A moon exists just for you
You are your own path
Your gentle breeze blows just for you
நான் என் கூதல்
நனையாத மௌனங்கள்
நான் நம் கூடு
தனிமை நீக்கும் பாடல்கள்
I am my own shivering cold
Unwet silences
I am our nest
Songs that dispel loneliness
உன் புன்னகையின் பின்னணியில்
சிலரில் சோகம் எப்போதும்
யார் என்றே நீ அறியா
இதயங்களில் மழையானாய்
நான் என்றே கண்டும் ஏன்
பொழியாமல் நீங்கி போனாய்
Behind your smile
There is always sadness in a few
In the hearts of people you don't even know
You became a soothing rain
Yet seeing that it was me
Why did you depart without showering rain?
போ உறவே...
என்னை மறந்து
நீ உந்தன் கனவுகள்
துரத்தியே
போ உறவே...
சிறகணிந்து நீ உந்தன்
கணங்களை உதறியே
Go, my relation...
Forgetting me
You, chasing
Your own dreams
Go, my relation...
Spreading wings, you
Shaking off your embers
போ உறவே...
என்னை மறந்து
நீ உந்தன் கனவுகள்
துரத்தியே
போ உறவே...
சிறகணிந்து நீ உந்தன்
கணங்களை உதறியே
Go, my relation...
Forgetting me
You, chasing
Your own dreams
Go, my relation...
Spreading wings, you
Shaking off your embers
மாற்றங்கள் அதையும்
தூரங்கள் இதையும்
என் சிறு இதயம் பழகுதடி
நீ அற்ற இரவு
வீட்டுக்குள் துறவு
ஏன் இந்த உறவு விலகுதடி
All these changes
And all these distances
My tiny heart is getting accustomed to them, my dear
A night without you
Is like renunciation inside home
Why is this relationship drifting away, my dear?
இது நிலை இல்லை
வெறும் மலை அன்றோ
இது மலை இல்லை
சிறு மழை என்றோ
இந்த நொடிகள் கனவே
எனவே உறவே
சத்தமிட்டு சொல்லிவிட்டு
முத்தமிட்டு தள்ளிவிட்டு
This is not permanent
Isn't it just a mountain?
This is not a mountain
Is it just a light shower of rain?
These moments are just a dream
And so, my relation
Having declared out loud
Having kissed and pushed away
போ உறவே...
என்னை மறந்து
நீ உந்தன் கனவுகள்
துரத்தியே
போ உறவே...
சிறகணிந்து நீ உந்தன்
கணங்களை உதறியே
Go, my relation...
Forgetting me
You, chasing
Your own dreams
Go, my relation...
Spreading wings, you
Shaking off your heavy moments
போ உறவே...
என்னை மறந்து
நீ உந்தன் கனவுகள்
துரத்தியே
போ உறவே...
சிறகணிந்து நீ உந்தன்
கணங்களை உதறியே
Go, my relation...
Forgetting me
You, chasing
Your own dreams
Go, my relation...
Spreading wings, you
Shaking off your heavy moments
போ உறவே...
Go, my relation...
Aaa….aaa….aaa…
Ah... ah... ah...
