Something, something, something or the other
Makes me want to speak to you
In your breath blowing in the air

கேட்கிறேனே தஞ்சம்
Like a sailboat on a distant ocean
Such is my heart
Realizing you are the ocean I reach
I seek refuge in you
உன் ஒளியிலே கண் திறக்கிறேன்
பேர் அன்பில் மீண்டும் பிறக்கிறேன்
I open my eyes in your light
I am reborn in immense love
