மழை மேகம் வாழ்ந்திட
உனக்கு இங்கு யாரும் இல்லை
உயிர் தொட நீயும் இங்கே
உனக்கென நான்
As the rain clouds live on,
There is no one else here for you,
You are here to touch my soul,
I am for you,
உயிர் தீண்டும் பெண்மை
உன்னை கையில் ஏந்தி
விரல் தொடும்போது
உன்னால் உயிர் பெறுவேன்
Womanhood that touches the soul,
Holding you in my hands,
When my fingers touch you,
I gain life because of you,
உனக்கென நான்
எனகென நீ
உனக்கென நான்
எனகென நீ
I am for you,
You are for me,
I am for you,
You are for me,
பூ என்று நீ சொன்னாலும்
தனியாக நான் விடமாட்டேன்
உனக்கென நான் இருப்பேனே
ஓ....
உன்னோடு நேரம் இங்கே
உயிர் தீண்ட யாருமில்லை
உனக்கென்ன நான் இருப்பேனே
Even if you tell me to go,
I will not leave you alone,
I will be there for you,
Oh...
The time spent here with you,
There is no one else touching my soul,
I will be there for you,
ஓ....
உனக்கென நான்
எனகென நீ
உனக்கென நான்
எனகென நீ
Oh...
I am for you,
You are for me,
I am for you,
You are for me,
உனக்கென நான்
எனகென நீ
உனக்கென நான்
எனகென நீ
I am for you,
You are for me,
I am for you,
You are for me,
நீ இங்கே இல்லையென்று
சொன்னால்
தாங்கதடி நெஞ்சம்
தேவை இல்லை ஏதும்
என்ன சொல்வேன் நானும்
If it is said that,
I am not here,
My heart cannot bear it, my girl,
Nothing else is needed,
What more can I say?
ஓ....
தூறல்கள் போடும் இந்த நேரம்
என் மடியில் நீயும்
உந்தன் தலை கோதி
கரைகிறேன் நானும்
Oh...
In this moment of light drizzle,
You sitting on my lap,
Stroking your hair,
I melt away,
உன் வலிகள் எல்லாம்
உன் வலிகள் இல்லை
உன் வலிகள் எல்லாம்
என் வலிகலடி
All your paths,
Are not just your paths,
All your paths,
Are my paths too, my girl,
உன் மொழிகளுமே
தேவை இல்லை
உன் பார்வைகளே போதுமடி
Even your words,
Are not needed,
Your glances alone are enough, my girl,
என்னோடு இங்கு
நீ இருக்கும் நேரம்
வேறென்ன வேண்டும்
பெண்ணே இதே போதும்
Here with me,
The time you are present,
What else is needed?
Girl, this alone is enough,
உனக்கென நான்
எனகென நீ
உனக்கென நான்
எனகென நீ
I am for you,
You are for me,
I am for you,
You are for me,
உனக்கென நான்
எனகென நீ
உனக்கென நான்
எனகென நீ
I am for you,
You are for me,
I am for you,
You are for me
