ஹே ரா மதி
மயங்கி போச்சே
ஹே ரா திசை மறந்து
போச்சே
Even like a shadow
We remained inseparable
Whatever sorrow
Came our way, we forgot it
Unable to ever
Part from each other, we suffered
Unable to bear that
Unable to forget that
Ooohhh ooohhh
Ooohhh ooohhh
Ooohhh ooohhhhhh…
நிழல் கூட பிரியாம
இருந்தோம் எந்த சோகம்
வந்தாலும் மறந்தோம்
என்றும் பிரிய முடியாம
தவிச்சோம் அத தாங்க
முடியாம மறக்க முடியாம
ஓஓ ஓஓ ஓஓ ஓஓ ஓஓ ஓஓ
{I saw you right in front of me
I became one with you, my girl} (2)
{ கண்டேன் உன்னை
நானே முன்னே நான் உன்னில்
ஒன்றாய் ஆனேன் பெண்ணே } (2)

Leaving time's footprints behind
We saw ourselves going on a grand procession
மீண்டும் பார்த்ததும்
ஒன்றே நம் விண்வெளி
விண்வெளி போக கண்டோம்
காலம் கால் தடம் பின்னே
ஓர் ஊர்வலம் ஊர்வலம்
போக கண்டோம்
Even along the path we took
Our precious moments together
We saw as endless
Before time runs out
Long distances, long distances
We arrived to cross over
போகும் பாதையில்
கூட நம் நேரங்கள் நேரங்கள்
தீர கண்டோம் நேரம்
முடிந்திடும் முன்னே நம்
தூரங்கள் தூரங்கள் கடந்திட
வந்தோம்
I made it, I made it
I made a plan
We will celebrate wedding and festivities together
Life itself will turn to gold from now on
Now the journey ahead is pleasant..yeahhh

Even as days pass by
We will travel together
There is no separation for us
Though the path is far
Though the journey is long
We will go, anywhere we will go
நாட்கள் கடந்தாலும்
சேர்ந்தே செல்வோமே
பிரிவே நமக்கில்லையே
பாதை தூரம் தான் பயணம்
நீளம் தான் போவோமே
எங்கேயும் போவோமே
