தாலேலோ பாடுதே காதலே
பூப் போலே தூங்குதே நாணமே ஓ
ஏதேதோ ஆகுதே மார்பிலே
வான் மேலே போகுதே ஆடலே
Love sings a gentle lullaby.
Shyness sleeps softly like a flower, oh.
Something inexplicable happens within my heart.
The soul's dance reaches high into the sky.
நீ எனை ஏதோ செய்கிறாய்
ஆஅ......ஆன்.....
இமைகள் கண்ணின் நீர் நீக்கி
பூ வைத்து பார்க்கிறாய்
உன் பிம்பத்தின் சீண்டல்களால்
காண்கின்ற யாவும் வாசமே
இதோ இதோ கனா மெய்யாகுதே.......ஏ......
You are doing something strange to me.
Aaa...aaan... (vocalization)
Wiping the tears from my eyes, my eyelids...
You gaze at me as if adorning them with flowers.
By the playful touch of your reflection,
Everything I behold turns fragrant.
Look, dreams are turning into reality right here.
போக கூடாத தூரங்கள் போனாலுமே.....ஏ....
நீ மாற கூடாமல் பிரேமைகள் பூ பூக்குமே....வா
கேட்க கூடாத வார்த்தைகள் கேட்டாலுமே....ஏ....
காதல் நீ பேசும் மௌனங்கள் காப்பாற்றுமே.....ஏ....
Even if we travel across forbidden distances...
You...
Unchanging illusions will bloom like flowers... come!
Even if painful words that shouldn't be heard echo...
The soft silences you whisper into my ears will save me...
கூறாமல் நீ போக
ஆழம் நான் ஏங்க
சாம்பல் ஆகாத கண்ணீரில் வாழ்ந்தேனே
ஏழ் ஏழேழு காலங்கள் தீர்ந்து போனாலும்
ஆண்மை சுட்டோடு அலைவேனே உன்னை தேடி.....ஏ....
If you depart without telling me,
While I long in the deep abyss,
I survived in tears that never turn into ash.
Even if seven times seven ages pass away,
I will wander searching for you, bearing the scars of my soul...
நீ.........மலை காட்டிலே
தொடரும் அசரீரீ நீ.....ஈ.....ஈ.......

Are the continuing ethereal voice that follows me...
