{ போன உசுரு வந்துருச்சு
உன்ன தேடி திருப்பி தந்துருச்சு } (2)
My lost soul has returned to me
It searched for you and brought itself back
இது போல ஒரு நாளே வர வேணாம் இனி மேலே
நொடி கூட எட்டி இருக்காத
என்ன விட்டு நீயும் முன்ன செல்ல நினைக்காத
A day like this should never
Come ever again in the future
Do not stay even a second away
Leaving me behind, do not ever
Think of moving ahead alone
போன உசுரு வந்துருச்சு
உன்னவாாி அணைக்க சொல்லிருச்சு
இதுபோல இனி மேலும் நடக்காதே ஒரு நாளும்
உன நானும் ஒட்டி இருப்பேனே
என் கண்ணுக்குள்ள உன்ன வச்சு சிாிப்பேனே
My lost soul has returned to me
It told me to wrap you in a tight embrace
சோ்ந்து இருக்கும் உள்ளத்துல
துணை யாரு நமக்கு வெள்ளத்துல
Never again should something like this
Happen on any given day
I will stay stuck close to you
I will keep you inside my eyes and smile
உயிா் காதல் அடங்காது நெருப்பாலும் பொசுங்காது
In hearts that have united together
Who is there to assist us in a flood?
நடந்தாலே அது சுகம் தானே
True love can never be suppressed
It cannot be scorched even by fire
துணையாக நானும் வருவேனே
If we walk together, even that is pure joy
சத்தியமா என் பக்கத்துல நீ இருந்தா அனலும் குளிரா மாறுமே
I will accompany you as your companion
ஆக மொத்தம் உன் பாரமெல்லாம்
நான் சுமக்க பிறவிக் கடனும் தீருமே
Truly, if you are by my side
Even blazing heat will turn into cool shade
ஆண் & பெண் :
ஓஹோ ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ
All in all, if I bear all your burdens
My debt for this birth will be fulfilled
ஆடி அடங்கும் பூமியில
நாம வாடி வதங்க தேவையில்லை
Ha..aahh.ha ha ha ha ha
Oh..hoo hoo hoo hoo..hoo ..hoo.
ஒருவாட்டி வரும் வாழ்க்கை
துணிவோமே அதை ஏற்க
In this world where everything eventually settles and ceases
There is no need for us to wither and suffer
சிாிப்போமே நந்தவனம் போல
அது போதும் இந்த உயிா் வாழ
Life comes only once
Let us be brave enough to accept it
போகும் வர இந்தக் காதல்
நம்ம காக்குமுன்னு நினைச்சா
விலகும் வேதனை
Let us blossom in laughter like a garden of flowers
That is enough for this soul to live
போகையிலும் நாம ஒத்துமையா
போகப் போறோம்
இதுதான் பொிய சாதனை
If we believe that this love will protect us
Until our very last breath
All our pain will recede
......................................
Even when leaving this world, together in unity
We shall depart
That alone is our greatest achievement
போன உசுரு வந்துருச்சு
உன்னவாாி அணைக்க சொல்லிருச்சு
My lost soul has returned to me
It told me to wrap you in a tight embrace
இதுபோல இனி மேலும் நடக்காதே ஒரு நாளும்
உன நானும் ஒட்டி இருப்பேனே
என் கண்ணுக்குள்ள உன்ன வச்சு சிாிப்பேனே
Never again should something like this
Happen on any given day
I will stay stuck close to you
I will keep you inside my eyes and smile
