ஏதோ ஏதேதோ எங்கோ எப்போதோ
ஜீவன் ஒன்று தேகம் ரெண்டு என்றே வாழ்கிறோம்
If the soul becomes one, everything becomes unified
Embracing love and conquering time, we rule over all
ஜீவன் ஒன்றானால் யாவும் ஒன்றாகும்
காதல் கொண்டு காலம் வென்று யாவும் ஆள்கிறோம்
The sky and this breeze
Are just like our life
வானும் இந்தக் காற்றும்
நம் வாழ்வைப் போன்றது
This living earth has set a new stage for us
வாழும் இந்த பூமி புது மேடை போட்டது
The pattern in which we live every day without changing
Will never fade, my beloved, my beloved
மாறாமல் நாளும் நாம் வாழும் கோலம்
அழியாது அன்பே அன்பே
