தொடுவானம் போலே
இருந்தாயே நீயே
தொலைந்தாலும் எந்தன் கண்கள்
உனை காண ஏங்கும்
Like the horizon
You were there
Even if lost, my eyes
Long to see you
தொடுவானம் போலே
இருந்தாயே நீயே
தொலைந்தாலும் எந்தன் கண்கள்
உனை காண ஏங்கும் போதும்
Like the horizon
You were there
Even if lost, my eyes
Still yearn to see you enough
போதும் எட்டி போகாது
போகும் காலம் மீண்டும் வாராது
காலம் வெல்லும்
காதல் இனி செய்வோமா
Enough, enough
Do not move far away
Time that passes by
Will not return again
Time will win
Shall we make love now?
தொடுவானம் போலே
இருந்தாயே நீயே
தொலைந்தாலும் எந்தன் கண்கள்
உனை காண ஏங்கும்
Like the horizon
You were there
Even if lost, my eyes
Long to see you
காண்பதில்லை நீ என்றாலும்
என்னில் ஏனோ உன் கண்தடம்
பேசவில்லை நீ என்றாலும்
ஏன் உன் பேச்சில் என் தடம்
Even if you are not seen
Why is your footprint inside me?
Even if you do not speak
Why is my trace in your speech?
மறுக்காமல் வா முன்னே
மறைக்காமல் சொல் கண்ணே
மறைத்தாலும் மணம் வீசும்
காதல் பூ போலே
Come forward without refusing
Speak without hiding, my dear
Even if hidden, it will spread fragrance
Like the flower of love
போதும் போடும் நாடகம்
இனி முடியாது நேரம் காண
Enough, enough of this drama
Now time cannot end seeing this
அன்பே எந்தன் நிகழ்காலம்
மறப்பேனே வரும் துயர் யாவும்
காதல் தேனே தானாய் தருவாய் தானே
My love, my
Present moment
I will forget all incoming
Sorrows that arrive
Honey of love, by yourself
You will give it, won't you?
தொடுவானம் போலே
இருந்தாயே நீயே
தொலைந்தாலும் எந்தன் கண்கள்
உன்னை காண ஏங்கும்
Like the horizon
You were there
Even if lost, my eyes
Long to see you
காதல் காலில் காலம் போகும்
நாமும் சேர்ந்தே போகலாம்
ஊற்றை போல பேசும் பார்வை
நேற்றின் காயம் ஆற்றலாம்
Time moves on the feet of love
I too can go along with it
A gaze that speaks like a spring
Can heal yesterday's wound
அருகாமை நீ என்றால்
எதிர்காலம் என்றாகும்
பரிகாரம் இல்லாமல்
வாழ வழி கூறும்
If you are near me
The future becomes defined
Without any remedy needed
It shows a way to live
தேடலே என் தீண்டலால்
என் அடி வானம் பூக்கும்
மழை கூடே என்னில் விழுந்தால்
மனம் போலே அன்பில் சிலிர்த்தாலும்
இடர் மேலே விழும் சுடர் நீயடி
Search for my gentle breeze
My horizon will bloom
Even if rain falls inside me
And shivers with love as the heart desires
You are the light falling upon obstacles
தொடுவானம் போலே
இருந்தாயே நீயே
தொலைந்தாலும் எந்தன் கண்கள்
உன்னை காண ஏங்கும்
Like the horizon
You were there
Even if lost, my eyes
Long to see you

Time will win
