தொடுவானம் மழையாக
அதில் வந்த நதி நீயடி
ஓஹோ… உனபோல உனபோல
உலகத்தில் இனி யாரடி
As the horizon turns into rain,
You are the river that flowed out of it, my girl!
Ohh… like you, like you,
Who else is there in this world, my girl?
ஓஹோ… பிறந்தாயே மண்ணில்
நடமாடும் பூவே
உனை அள்ளி கொஞ்சத்தான்
மனம் யேங்கதா
Ohh… you were born on this earth,
O walking flower!
To scoop you up and fondle you,
Does the heart not long?
ஓஹோ…நிறைந்தாயே நெஞ்சில்
மழைபோல நீயே
மாறாது நம்சொந்தம்
இது போதாத
Ohh… you filled my heart,
Just like rain, yourself!
Our bond will never change,
Is this not enough?
தொடுவானம் மழையாக
அதில் வந்த நதி நீயடி
ஓஹோ… உனபோல உனபோல
உலகத்தில் இனி யாரடி
As the horizon turns into rain,
You are the river that flowed out of it, my girl!
Ohh… like you, like you,
Who else is there in this world, my girl?
அழகான மின்னல் நீயே
அடங்காத காட்டு தீயே
என்னோடு பேசதானே
தயங்குரியே
You are a beautiful lightning bolt,
An uncontrollable wildfire!
Just to talk to me,
You are hesitating!
விரலோடு விரலை சேர்க்க
இனி வாழும் ஜென்மம் தீர்க்க
மௌனங்கள் போக்கத்தானே
தடுக்குறியே
To join finger with finger,
To complete this life we are to live,
Just to dispel these silences,
You are stumbling!
அடி அழகே அழகின் அழகே
அலையலையாய் அடிக்கும் குளிரே
தவித்தேனே நானே நானே
தவறுகள் என்மேல் தானே
O beauty, the very beauty of beauty!
Cool breeze that hits in waves!
I suffered, I truly suffered,
The mistakes were indeed on my part!
அடி அனலே அனலே அனலே
உனதருகில் வரவா இனியே
ஒரு முறையே இரு விழியால்
மன்னிப்பாயா?
O fire, fire, fire!
May I come near you now, sweet one?
Just once, with your two eyes,
Will you forgive me?
அழகான மின்னல் நீயே
அடங்காத காட்டு தீயே
என்னோடு பேசதானே
தயங்குரியே
You are a beautiful lightning bolt,
An uncontrollable wildfire!
Just to talk to me,
You are hesitating!
விரலோடு விரலை சேர்க்க
இனி வாழும் ஜென்மம் தீர்க்க
மௌனங்கள் போக்கத்தானே
தடுக்குறியே
To join finger with finger,
To complete this life we are to live,
Just to dispel these silences,
You are stumbling!

Ohh… you are all my dreams, girl,
I forgot night and day!
Ohh… you came inside my heart,
What else is needed now, my dear?
ஓஹோ… கனவெல்லாம் நீதான் பெண்ணே
இரவை பகலை மறந்தே போனேன்
ஓஹோ… இதயத்தில் உள்ளே வந்தாய்
இனியும் என்ன வேண்டும் கண்ணே
Look at my eyes that do not sleep, my girl!
You are within my untamed soul, my girl!
Your name alone is inside my soul, my girl!
Listen, it calls out incessantly!
உறங்காத என் விழிகள் பாரடி
அடங்காத என் உயிரில் நீயடி
உயிருக்குள் உன் பெயர் தானடி
ஓயாமல் கூவுதே கேளடி
You are my dawn that never sets, my girl!
Gently smile, my girl!
I stand at the threshold of longing, my girl!
Ohh… you come with me,
And become my truth, my girl!
புலறாத என் விடியல் நீயடி
மெதுவாக புன்னகை செய்யடி
விரகத்தின் வாசலில் நானடி
ஓஹோ… என்னோடு நீ வந்து
மெய் சேரடி
Ohh… you are all my dreams, girl,
I forgot night and day!
Ohh… you came inside my heart,
What else is needed now, my dear?
ஓஹோ… கனவெல்லாம் நீதான் பெண்ணே
இரவை பகலை மறந்தே போனேன்
ஓஹோ… இதயத்தில் உள்ளே வந்தாய்
இனியும் என்ன வேண்டும் கண்ணே
