தாலாட்டும் மௌனம் ஒன்றில்
நான் கரைந்தேனே
சொல்லாத அன்பின் வாசம்
நான் உணர்ந்தேன்
எங்கேயோ என்னை கூட்டிச்செல்லும்
பாதை நீதானே
எப்போதும் என்னுள் வட்டம் போடும்
பாடல் நீதானே
In a lullaby-like silence,
I dissolved.
I felt the fragrance of unspoken love.
Aren't you the path that leads me to somewhere unknown?
Aren't you the song that constantly echoes within me?
பாராமல் உன்னை பார்பதை
நீ உணர்வாய்
ஆனாலும் அதை மூடி வைத்து
ஏங்க வைப்பாய்
You will feel me looking at you without looking directly,
Yet you keep it hidden and make me yearn.
தாலாட்டும் மௌனம் ஒன்றில்
நான் கரைந்தேனே
சொல்லாத அன்பின் வாசம்
நான் உணர்ந்தேன்
எங்கேயோ என்னை கூட்டிச்செல்லும்
பாதை நீதானே
எப்போதும் என்னுள் வட்டம் போடும்
பாடல் நீதானே
In a lullaby-like silence,
I dissolved.
I truly live only on the days I see you.
Aren't you the path that leads me to somewhere unknown?
Aren't you the song that constantly echoes within me?
அன்பே உன்னை நான் காண்கிறேன்
வேறென்ன வேறென்ன வேண்டும் இனி !!
ஓசை எல்லாம் போனால் என்ன
மௌனத்தில் ஆழ்கின்ற மாயம் தனி!!
My love, I behold you;
What else, what else do I need anymore?
What if all the sounds fade away?
The magic of immersing in silence is unique.
எப்போதோ நீ தந்த பார்வைகள்
இப்போதும் வாழ்கின்றதே
தண்ணீரில் வீழ்கின்ற தூறலாய்
என் காதல் நீள்கின்றதே…
The glances you always gave me,
Are still alive inside me even now.
Like a drizzle falling into the water,
My love continues to extend and endure.
அன்பே கனிவாய் மலரும் உன்வார்த்தை
இறகாய் எனையே தேற்றும்!!
அடடா அடடா என் நாட்கள்
இன்னொரு பிறவி கேட்கும்..!
My love, your words that bloom tenderly,
Comfort me gently like a soft feather.
Oh my, oh my, my days,
Will ask for another lifetime.
எங்கேயோ என்னை கூட்டிச்செல்லும்
பாதை நீதானே
எப்போதும் என்னுள் வட்டம் போடும்
பாடல் நீதானே
Aren't you the path that leads me to somewhere unknown?
Aren't you the song that constantly echoes within me?
