உன்ன இப்போ
பாக்கணும் ஒன்னு பேசனும்
என்ன கொட்டித் தீக்கனும்
அன்ப காட்டணும்
I need to see you now, I need to speak to you...
I need to pour my heart out and shower you with love...
உறவே மனம்
தேம்புதே உசுர தர ஏங்குதே
Oh my soulmate... my heart is sobbing
It longs to give my very life to you
நீ எங்கேயும் போகாத
நான் வாரேன் வாடாத
உன்ன இப்போ பாக்கணும்
ஒன்னு பேசனும்
Don't go anywhere, I am coming, do not wither away
I need to see you now, I need to speak to you...
என்ன கொட்டித் தீக்கனும்
அன்ப காட்டணும்
I need to pour my heart out and shower you with love
இங்கே கடல் அங்கே
நதி இணைந்திட நடை போடுதே
அங்கே வெயில் இங்கே நிழல்
விழுந்திட இடம் தேடுதே
கண்ணீாிலே காவியம்
தண்ணீாிலே ஓவியம்
வரையும் விதி என்னென்ன
செய்திடுமோ முடிவில் உயிா்
வண்ணங்கள் மாறிடுமோ..........
Here is the ocean, there is the river, walking towards each other to unite
There is the sunlight, here is the shadow, searching for a place to fall together
An epic written in tears, a painting drawn on water
What twists fate, the artist, will pull off next
Will the colors of life change at the very end...?
உன்ன இப்போ
பாக்கணும் ஒன்னு பேசனும்
I need to see you now... I need to speak to you...
என்ன கொட்டித் தீக்கனும்
அன்ப காட்டணும்
I need to pour my heart out... shower you with love...
இங்கே உடல்
அங்கே உயிா் இதயத்தில்
வலி கூடுதே எங்கே நிலா
என்றே விழி பகலிலும்
அலைந்தோடுதே காயும்
இருள் நானடி பாயும் ஒளி நீயடி
கதிரே வந்துக் கண்ணோடு கலந்துவிடு
கலந்தே இவன் நெஞ்சோடு இருந்துவிடு
Here is the body, there is the soul, pain intensifies in the heart
Searching where the moon is, my eyes wander even during broad daylight
I am the scorching darkness, my dear, and you are the surging light
Oh ray of light, come and merge into my eyes
Merge and reside within his heart forever...
உன்ன இப்போ
பாக்கணும் ஒன்னு பேசனும்
I need to see you now, I need to speak to you....
என்ன கொட்டித் தீக்கனும்
அன்ப காட்டணும்
I need to pour my heart out, shower you with love....
உறவே மனம்
தேம்புதே
Oh my soulmate... my heart is sobbing
உசுர தர ஏங்குதே
It longs to give my very life to you
நீ எங்கேயும் காணாம
எங்கேதான் போனாயோ
Disappearing out of sight, where on earth have you gone?
உன்ன இப்போ பாக்கணும்
ஒன்னு பேசனும்

An epic written in tears, a painting drawn on water
Varayum vidhi ennena seithidumo

Mudivil uyir vannangal maaridumo … ooo oh
