தவிக்கிறேன்
தவிக்கிறேன் உனது
கனவாலே துடிக்கிறேன்
துடிக்கிறேன் உனது
நினைவாலே நான்
அனுப்பும் பூ வாசம்……..
I am yearning, I am yearning because of your dream
I am throbbing, I am throbbing because of your memory
The fragrance of flowers I send ... mmmmm
நீ அனுப்பும் பூ
வாசம் என் மூச்சில் உன்
மூச்சை சோ்கின்றதே
தவிக்கிறேன் தவிக்கிறேன்
உனது கனவாலே துடிக்கிறேன்
துடிக்கிறேன் உனது நினைவாலே
The fragrance of flowers you send
Merges your breath into my breath
I am yearning, I am yearning because of your dream
I am throbbing, I am throbbing because of your memory
வண்ணங்கள்
தேவையில்லை உன்னை
தொட்டு படம் தீட்டுவேன்
அடடா அது நடந்தால்
உலகம் வியந்து புகழும்
Colors are not needed, I will paint a picture by touching you
Oh my, if that happens, the world will marvel and praise
ஸ்வரம் ஏழு
போதவில்லை உன் பெயரை
ஸ்வரம் ஆக்குவேன் அடடா
அது நடக்கும் உலகம் வியந்து புகழும்
Seven musical notes are not enough, I will turn your name into a note
Oh my, when that happens, the world will marvel and praise
ஓடி வா ஓடி
வா இயங்கவில்லை
இதயத்தின் ஒரு பாதி
Run to me, run to me, one half of my heart is not working
தேடி வா தேடி
வா இரு உயிரும் ஒன்றாகும்
ஒரு தேதி
Come searching, come searching for the date when two souls become one
காதலே காதலே
மேகத்தால் வானில் வீடு
கட்டு
Oh love, oh love, build a house in the sky using clouds
தவிக்கிறேன்
தவிக்கிறேன் உனது
கனவாலே
I am yearning, I am yearning because of your dream
முதன் முதலாய்
பாா்க்கும் போது என்னை
என்ன செய்வாயோ நீ
நினைத்தால் அதை நினைத்தால்
மனதில் நடுக்கம் பிறக்கும்
When you see me for the very first time, what will you do to me?
If I think of it, if I think of that, a shiver is born in my heart
குல தெய்வம்
நோில் பாா்க்கும் பக்தனை
போல் நான் காணுவேன்
ஒரு நாள் அது நடக்கும்
திருநாள் என்னை அழைக்கும்
I will look like a devotee who beholds their deity in person
One day that will happen, that holy day will summon me
மாற்றினாய்
மாற்றினாய் சிறகின்றி
பறக்கின்ற பூவாக
You transformed me into a flower that flies without wings
மாறினேன்
மாறினேன் உன்னை
மட்டும் சுமக்கின்ற காற்றாக
I transformed into the wind that carries only you
காலமே காலமே
காலத்தால் அழியா வாழ்வு
கொடு
Oh time, oh time, grant us a life that can never be destroyed by time
தவிக்கிறேன்
தவிக்கிறேன் உனது கனவாலே
I am yearning, I am yearning because of your dream
துடிக்கிறேன்
துடிக்கிறேன் உனது நினைவாலே
I am throbbing, I am throbbing because of your memory
ஓவியத்தை
பாா்த்தாலும்…. ஓவியத்தை
பாா்த்தாலும் அன்பே உன்
கன்னங்கள் சிவக்கின்றதே
Even when looking at a painting ... mmmmm
Even when looking at a painting
My love, your cheeks turn red and blush
தவிக்கிறேன்
தவிக்கிறேன் உனது
கனவாலே
I am yearning, I am yearning because of your dream
ஓஹோ…
துடிக்கிறேன் துடிக்கிறேன்
உனது நினைவாலே
Oh, I am throbbing, I am throbbing because of your memory
Thavikiren thavikiren unadhu kanavaalae
