| Male | |
| Kaalgal unnil idam varuma | Will my feet find a place in you? |
| Dhoora thoondilil viluma | Will it fall onto a distant fishing hook? |
| Thoorigaiyin theendal ketkkum | A white paper requesting |
| Vellai kaagitham | The touch of a paintbrush. |
| Male | |
| Dhoorathiale kaatrilae | In the distance, in the wind, |
| Naam varaindha oviyam | The painting we drew, |
| Eerathilae vaazha | To live in wetness, |
| Kaalam seidha naadagam | A drama staged by time. |
| Male | |
| Nilathai araindhidum | Like a heavy downpour |
| Adai mazhai polavae | That strikes the ground, |
| Ninaivil dhinam pozhiven | I will shower daily in your memories. |

| En uyir vizhum podhilum | And separates from my body, |
| Unaiyae sumandhiruppen | I will still be carrying only you. |

கால்கள் உன்னிடம் வருமா
தூர தூண்டிலில் விழுமா
தூரிகையின் தீண்டல் கேட்கும்
வெள்ளைக் காகிதம்
Will my feet find a place in you?
Will it fall onto a distant fishing hook?
A white paper requesting
The touch of a paintbrush.
தூரத்திலே காற்றில்
நாம் வரைந்த ஓவியம்
ஈரத்திலே வாழ
காலம் செய்த நாடகம்
In the distance, in the wind,
The painting we drew,
To live in wetness,
A drama staged by time.
நிலத்தை அறைந்திடும்
அடைமழை போலவே
நினைவில் தினம் பொழிவேன்
Like a heavy downpour
That strikes the ground,
I will shower daily in your memories.
உடலை பிரிந்து
என் உயிர் விழும் போதிலும்
உனையே சுமந்திருப்பேன்
Even when my soul leaves
And separates from my body,
I will still be carrying only you.
கால்கள் உன்னிடம் வருமா
தூர தூண்டிலில் விழுமா
Will my feet find a place in you?
Will it fall onto a distant fishing hook?
நீர் கடந்தால்
போகாத மாசுகள்போகுமே
நீ கடந்தால்
ஆறாத காயங்கள் ஆறுமே
If one crosses water,
Impurities that never go will leave;
If you cross my path,
Wounds that never heal will be healed.
ஆகாயத்தில் தடுமாறினேன்
இந்நேரத்தில் இன்று வாழ்கிறேன்
விண்மீன்களின் விருந்தாகிறேன்
நான் கொண்ட சிறகுக்கு நீதானே வானம்
I stumbled in the sky,
At this moment I stand and live,
I become a feast for the stars,
For the wings I gained, aren't you the sky?
வாழும் காலம் வரை
நீதான் நீதான்
வானம் தூவும் மழை
நீதான் நீதான்
As long as I live,
It is you, only you;
The rain showered by the sky,
It is you, only you.
வாழும் காலம் வரை
நீதான் நீதான்
வாசம் வீசும் வரை
நீதான் நீதான்
As long as I live,
It is you, only you;
Until the fragrance wafts,
It is you, only you.
வாழும் காலம் வரை
நீதான் நீதான்
கானல் தாகும் மலை
நீதான் நீதான்
As long as I live,
It is you, only you;
The wave of thirst in a mirage,
It is you, only you.
வாழும் காலம் வரை
நீதான் நீதான்
காணும் யாவும் இனி
நீதான் நீதான்
As long as I live,
It is you, only you;
Everything I see from now on,
It is you, only you.
தீரும் முன்னே ஏறும்
தீயை போல நீளுமா
தீண்டல் ஒன்றே போதும்
என்னில் நீயும் வாழவா
Rising before it ends,
Will it extend like a fire?
Just a single touch is enough
For you to live within me.
கண் அளவில் கூட
காதல் சேந்தும் கூட வாழுமே
கண் அளவில் கூட
காதல் வாழ போதுமே
Will my feet find a place in you?
Will it fall onto a distant fishing hook?
கவிதை இரவுகள் தகையென ஈரங்கள்
நிதமும் பழகுதே
நினைவின் படிவில் வதனங்கள் ஓடிட
நிஜத்தை நெருங்குகுகிறேன்
கால்கள் உன்னிடம் வருமா
தூர தூண்டிலில் விழுமா
Kaalgal unnil idam varuma
Will my feet find a place in you?
Dhoora thoondilil viluma
Will it fall onto a distant fishing hook?
Thoorigaiyin theendal ketkkum
A white paper requesting
Vellai kaagitham
The touch of a paintbrush.
Dhoorathiale kaatrilae
In the distance, in the wind,
Naam varaindha oviyam
The painting we drew,
Eerathilae vaazha
To live in wetness,
Kaalam seidha naadagam
A drama staged by time.
Nilathai araindhidum
Like a heavy downpour
Adai mazhai polavae
That strikes the ground,
Ninaivil dhinam pozhiven
I will shower daily in your memories.
Udalai pirindhu
Even when my soul leaves
En uyir vizhum podhilum
And separates from my body,
Unaiyae sumandhiruppen
I will still be carrying only you.
Kaalgal unnil idam varuma
Will my feet find a place in you?
Dhoora thoondilil viluma
Will it fall onto a distant fishing hook?
Neer kadanthaal
If one crosses water,
Pogadha maasugal pogumae
Impurities that never go will leave;
Nee kadanthaal
If you cross my path,
Aaraadha kaayangal aarumae
Wounds that never heal will be healed.

Needhaan needhaan
It is you, only you;
Vaanam thoovum mazhai
The rain showered by the sky,
Needhaan needhaan
It is you, only you.
Vaazhum kaalam varai
As long as I live,
Needhaan needhaan
It is you, only you;
Vaasam veesum varai
Until the fragrance wafts,
Needhaan needhaan
It is you, only you.
Vaazhum kaalam varai
As long as I live,
Needhaan needhaan
It is you, only you;
Kaanal dhaagam alai
The wave of thirst in a mirage,
Needhaan needhaan
It is you, only you.
Vaazhum kaalam varai
As long as I live,
Needhaan needhaan
It is you, only you;
Kaanum yaavum ini
Everything I see from now on,
Needhaan needhaan
It is you, only you.
Theerum munnae yerum
Rising before it ends,
Theeyai pola neeluma
Will it extend like a fire?
Theendal ondrae podhum
Just a single touch is enough
Ennil neeyum vaazhava
For you to live within me.
Kaalgal unnil idam varuma
Will my feet find a place in you?
Dhoora thoondilil viluma
Will it fall onto a distant fishing hook?
