சட்டென தூரலும்
கொட்டியதெப்படி உயிர்
மொத்தமும் உன்னிடம்
ஒட்டியதெப்படி
Suddenly a drizzle
How did it pour down...
My entire soul with you
How did it get attached...
அடி காதல்
வந்த பின்னாலே இரு
கண்ணும் தீயாய் எரியுதடி
சிறு பிள்ளை போலே நான்
துள்ள என் இதயம் ஆனது
தவுடுபொடி
Oh girl, ever since love arrived
Both my eyes burn like fire, girl
As I leap around like a young child
My heart has turned into fine powder
சட்டென தூரலும்
கொட்டியதெப்படி உயிர்
மொத்தமும் உன்னிடம்
ஒட்டியதெப்படி
Suddenly a drizzle
How did it pour down...
My entire soul with you
How did it get attached...
இதயம் என்பது
எனக்கும் உண்டென
தெரிந்து கொண்டதே
உன்னால் தான் எதையும்
உன்னிடம் பகிர்ந்து கொள்ளவே
விரும்புகின்றதே நெஞ்சம் தான்
That a heart exists
For me as well
I came to realize only because of you
Anything and everything with you
To share
It is my heart that desires so
நிழல் மட்டும்
தொடர்ந்து வந்த நிலமை
மாறி போனதே நிஜம் உன்னை
நெருங்கி நிற்க வயது கோலம்
போடுதே
Only a shadow
That kept following me
That state of affairs has changed
As reality stands close to you
My youth draws decorative patterns
இப்படியும் நான்
ஆவேனா மொத்தமும்
மாறி போவேனா கற்பனையும்
நான் செய்வேனா கண்டபடி
பொய் சொல்வேனா
Will I turn out like this too?
Will I change completely?
Will I even indulge in fantasies?
Will I tell random lies?
யாரை கேட்க
கைகள் கோர்க்க நீ
இல்லாமல் வாழ்வேனா
Whom to ask
To hold hands
Can I live without you?
சட்டென தூரலும்
கொட்டியதெப்படி உயிர்
மொத்தமும் உன்னிடம்
ஒட்டியதெப்படி
Suddenly a drizzle
How did it pour down...
My entire soul with you
How did it get attached...
உனது புன்னகை
உரசி செல்கையில்
உதிருகின்றதே காயங்கள்
உனது மெல்லிய விரல்கள்
தொட்டதும் நிகழுகின்றதே
மாயங்கள்
Your smile
As it brushes past me
My wounds crumble away
Your tender
Fingers touching
Magical things happen
எதை கண்டும்
பயந்ததில்லை இதற்கு
முன்பு நானுமே உனை
கண்டு பதட்டம் ஒன்று
வருவதென்ன நாளுமே
Fearing anything
I never did before this
Even I
Seeing you
A sense of nervous excitement
Why does it come every single day?
எத்தனை பெண்கள்
நின்றாலும் என் விழி உன்னை
தேடுதடி தந்தது போதும் என்றாலும்
இன்னமும் காதல் கேட்குதடி
No matter how many women stand around
My eyes search only for you, girl
Even if told that what was given is enough
Love keeps asking for even more
அடியே எந்தன்
ஆயுள் ரேகை உந்தன்
கைகளில் ஓடுதடி
Oh girl, my
Lifeline
Runs across your hands, girl
சட்டென தூரலும்
கொட்டியதெப்படி உயிர்
மொத்தமும் உன்னிடம்
ஒட்டியதெப்படி
Suddenly a drizzle
How did it pour down...
My entire soul with you
How did it get attached...
அடி காதல்
வந்த பின்னாலே இரு
கண்ணும் தீயாய் எரியுதடி
சிறு பிள்ளை போலே நான்
துள்ள என் இதயம் ஆனது
தவுடுபொடி
Oh girl, ever since love arrived
Both my eyes burn like fire, girl
As I leap around like a young child
My heart has turned into fine powder
