சாயா வன காட்டில்
நான் சாய்ந்தேன் ஒரு வீட்டில்
வனம் வாசம் வீசிடவே
உன்னை பார்த்தேன் நேர்கோட்டில்
In the everlasting forest
I rested inside a house
So that the fragrance of the forest blows
I looked at you in a direct sight
உன் விழியால் என்னை கிழித்தாய்
என் மொழியை மறக்க வைத்தாய்
உன் விழியால் என்னை கிழித்தாய்
என் மொழியை மறக்க வைத்தாய்
You tore through me with your eyes
You made me forget my own words
You tore through me with your eyes
You made me forget my own words
சாயா வன காட்டில்
நான் சாய்ந்தேன் ஒரு வீட்டில்
வனம் வாசம் வீசிடவே
உன்னை பார்த்தேன் நேர்கோட்டில்
In the everlasting forest
I rested inside a house
So that the fragrance of the forest blows
I looked at you in a direct sight
தேர்ந்த பிறை நிலவை
இந்த தேசம் கண்டிடலாம்
அதன் வாசம் என்ன வென்று
அந்த வானம் சொல்லிடலாம்
The clear crescent moon
This whole land can behold
What its fragrance truly is
That sky above can tell
தேர்ந்த பிறை நிலவை
இந்த தேசம் கண்டிடலாம்
அதன் வாசம் என்ன வென்று
அந்த வானம் சொல்லிடலாம்
The clear crescent moon
This whole land can behold
What its fragrance truly is
That sky above can tell
நேசம் என்னவென்று
நம் காதல் சொல்ல வேண்டும்
வீசும் நிலம் வாங்கி
காதல் செடியை நட வேண்டும்
What affection truly means
Our love ought to show
Buying a vast breezy land
We must plant the sapling of love
மண்ணில் வேரை போலதான்
உன்னில் ஊர்கிறேன்
ஒன்றாய் கூடி சேர்ந்துதான்
எல்லை தாண்டி போகலாம்
Just like roots penetrating the soil
I seep into you
Uniting together as one
We can cross all boundaries
மண்ணில் வேரை போலதான்
உன்னில் ஊர்கிறேன்
ஒன்றாய் கூடி சேர்ந்துதான்
எல்லை தாண்டி போகலாம்
Just like roots penetrating the soil
I seep into you
Uniting together as one
We can cross all boundaries
இன்னும் கோடி காலங்கள்
நாம் மண்ணில் வாழலாம்
அதை என்னும் போதிலே
மனம் கொள்ளை போகுதே
தினம் அன்பு பார்வையில்
காதல் மரம் வானம் ஏறுதே.....ஏ.....ஏ.....
For millions of ages to come
We can live on this earth
Just thinking about that
My heart is captivated
Every day in your gaze of affection
The tree of love rises to the sky
சாயா வன காட்டில்
நான் சாய்ந்தேன் ஒரு வீட்டில்
வனம் வாசம் வீசிடவே
உன்னை பார்த்தேன் நேர்கோட்டில்
In the everlasting forest
I rested inside a house
So that the fragrance of the forest blows
I looked at you in a direct sight
உன் விழியால் என்னை கிழித்தாய்
என் மொழியை மறக்க வைத்தாய்
உன் விழியால் என்னை கிழித்தாய்
என் மொழியை மறக்க வைத்தாய்
You tore through me with your eyes
You made me forget my own words
You tore through me with your eyes
You made me forget my own words
