உனக்காக வாழ நினைக்கிறேன்
உசுரோட வாசம் புடிக்கிறேன்
பொடவ மடிகையில்
உன்னத்தான் மடிக்கிறேன்
ஒரு நூறு வருஷம்
பேச நினைச்சி
தோளில் தூங்கிடுவேன்
I wish to live for you
I inhale the fragrance of life
While folding the saree,
It is you whom I fold into my heart
Wishing to speak
For a hundred years,
I will fall asleep on your shoulder
உனக்காக.....உனக்காக.....
For you... for you...
உனக்காக வாழ நினைக்கிறேன்
உசுரோட வாசம் புடிக்கிறேன்
I wish to live for you
I inhale the fragrance of life
ஆஹ்ஹ்ஹ............
Ahhhhh...
எச கேட்டா நீதானோ....ஓஒ.....ஓஒ.....
நெறமெல்லாம் நீதானோ....ஓஒ
தினம் நீ தூங்கும் வரைதான்
என் வாழ்கையே விடிஞ்சு உன்
பேச்சொலி கேட்டாதான்
எடுப்பேன் மூச்சையே
Are you the melody I hear?
Are you my entire time?
Every day, only until you fall asleep,
Does my life bloom; and only when I hear
The sound of your voice,
Do I draw my breath
உன்ன சுமக்குற வரமா
மேல நிழல் வந்து விழுமா
கொள்ளாதே கண்ணின் ஓரமா
Is carrying you a blessing?
Will a comforting shade fall upon me?
Do not slay me with the corner of your eyes
உனக்காக வாழ நினைக்கிறேன்
உனக்காக வாழ நினைக்கிறேன்
உசுரோட வாசம் புடிக்கிறேன்
உசுரோட வாசம் புடிக்கிறேன்
I wish to live for you
Male : I wish to live for you
Female : I inhale the fragrance of life
Male : I inhale the fragrance of life
ஒரே மழை
அள்ளி நம்ம போத்திக்கணும்....ஹோ...
கைய குடு கதவாக்கி சாத்திக்கணும்
ஒரே குளிர் ஒரே முத்தம் ஊட்டிக்கணும்
உன்ன மட்டும் உசுராக பாத்துக்கணும்
Under a single rain,
We should scoop it up and wrap ourselves in it
Give me your hand, let's shut it close like a door
A single chill, let's share a kiss together
I want to protect only you as my life itself
நிலா மழ மொழி அல
பனி இருள் கிளி கெள
நீயும் நானும்
தெகட்ட தெகட்ட ரசிக்கணும்
Moon, rain, speech, wave,
Mist, dark, parrot, branch,
You and I
Should enjoy it endlessly until satisfied
உனக்காக வாழ நினைக்கிறேன்
உசுரோட வாசம் புடிக்கிறேன்
உசுரோட வாசம் புடிக்கிறேன்
உனக்காக வாழ நினைக்கிறேன்
I wish to live for you
