Thaalattum mounam ondril
Naan karaindhenae
Solladha anbin vaasam naan unarndhen
Engeyo ennai kootti sellum paadhai needhanae
Eppodhum ennul vattam podum paadal needhanae
Paaramal unnai paarpadhai nee unarvaai
Aanaalum adhai moodi vaithu yenga vaipaai

Unai paarkum naalil mattum vaazhgindrenae
Engeyo ennai kootti sellum paadhai needhanae
Eppodhum ennul vattam podum paadal needhanae
Anbe unai naan kaangiren
Verenna verenna vendum ini

Engeyo ennai kootti sellum paadhai needhanae
Eppodhum ennul vattam podum paadal needhanae
In a silence that cradles like a lullaby,
I melted away.
I felt the fragrance of unspoken love.
You are the path leading me somewhere far away.
You are the song that keeps playing inside me.
You notice when I steal glances at you,
Yet you keep it hidden, leaving me longing.
In a silence that cradles like a lullaby,
I melted away.
I only truly live on the days I see you.
You are the path leading me somewhere far away.
You are the song that keeps playing inside me.
My love, now that I see you,
What else could I ever need?
What does it matter if all sounds fade away?
There is a special magic in sinking into silence.
The glances you always gave me
Are still alive even now.
Like raindrops falling into water,
My love ripples on endlessly.
My love, your words that bloom so gently
Comfort me like a soft feather.
Oh, these days of mine
Ask for another lifetime.
You are the path leading me somewhere far away.
You are the song that keeps playing inside me.
