ஓ ஓ ஓ ஓ ஓ
உன்னை எங்கோ போக கண்டேன்
என் உயிரே எனது உயிரே
உடன் நானும் வருகிறேன்
Oh oh oh oh oh
I saw you going somewhere
My life, my very life
I am coming along with you immediately
ஓ ஓ ஓ உனக்கெனவே
வாழ தோன்றுதே
என் பிறையே உன்னிடையே
இதை சொல்ல தயங்கினேன்
Oh oh oh, just for you
I feel like living my life
My crescent moon, near you
I hesitated to say this
காலம் கடந்தோடி
என் கண் முன்னே அர்த்தங்கள்
தெறிகின்றதே
As time ran past
In front of my eyes, true meanings
Are becoming clear to me
என்னை அறியாமலே
சென்றேன் உன்னை
தள்ளி சென்றேன்
Without me even realizing it
I went away
I pushed you away and left
உன் வழியிலே
என்னைத் தொலைக்கிறேன்
வேர் எவருமே
அடி வேண்டாம் என்றேன்
In your path
I am losing myself
No anyone else
Oh girl, I said I didn't want
காலை எழுந்ததும்
கண் உன்னை தேடுதே
அருகில் என் அருகிலே
நீ வேண்டுமே
As soon as I wake up in the morning
My eyes search for you
Near me, right by my side
I need you
என் தேவை அறிகிறாய்
முன்னே தருகிறாய்
வாழும் வரை கொடுத்திடு
உன் காதலை
You understand my needs
And offer them before I ask
Give me until I live
Your love
உன் தோளில் சாய்ந்திட
தானாக குறைந்த பாரம்
உனதாக போர்த்திக்கொள்ளும்
என் வானமே
To lean on your shoulder
The burden automatically reduced
Wrapping me up as your own
My sky
இந்த உறவைப் பேரிட
வார்த்தை ஒன்றும் இல்லையே
வாழ்ந்தே நான் காட்டுவேன்
உனதாகவே
To name this relationship
There is not a single word
I will show you by living
Entirely as yours
ஓ ஓ ஓ ஓ ஓ
உன்னை எங்கோ போக கண்டேன்
என் உயிரே எனது உயிரே
உடன் நானும் வருகிறேன்
Oh oh oh oh oh
I saw you going somewhere
My life, my very life
I am coming along with you immediately
ஓ ஓ ஓ உனக்கெனவே
வாழ தோன்றுதே
என் பிறையே உன்னிடையே
இதை சொல்ல தயங்கினேன்
Oh oh oh, just for you
I feel like living my life
My crescent moon, near you
I hesitated to say this
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Unnai engo poga kanden
I saw you going somewhere
En uyire enadhu uyire
My life, my very life
Udan naanum varugiren
I am coming along with you immediately
Oh oh oh unakkenavae
Oh oh oh, just for you
Vaazha thondrudhae
I feel like living my life
En piraye un idaye
My crescent moon, near you
Idhai solla thayanginen
I hesitated to say this
Kaalam kadandhodi
As time ran past
En kann munnae arthangal
In front of my eyes, true meanings
Therigindradhae
Are becoming clear to me
Ennal arigaamalae
Without me even realizing it
Sendren
I went away
Unnai thalli sendren
I pushed you away and left
Un vazhiyile
In your path
Ennai tholaikkiren
I am losing myself
Ver evarumae
No anyone else
Adi vendaam endren
Oh girl, I said I didn't want
Kaalai ezhundhadhum
As soon as I wake up in the morning
Kann unnai thedudhae
My eyes search for you
Arugil en arugilae
Near me, right by my side
Nee vendumae
I need you
En thevai arigiraai
You understand my needs
Munnae tharugiraai
And offer them before I ask
Vaazhum varai koduthidu
Give me until I live
Un kaadhalai
Your love
Un thozhil saaindhida
To lean on your shoulder
Thaanaanga kuraindha baaram
The burden automatically reduced
Unadhaaga porthikkollum
Wrapping me up as your own
En vaanamae
My sky
Indha uravai peyarida
To name this relationship
Vaarthai ondrum illaiyae
There is not a single word
Vaazhndhae naan kaattuven
I will show you by living
Unadhagavae
Entirely as yours
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Unnai engo poga kanden
I saw you going somewhere
En uyire enadhu uyire
My life, my very life
Udan naanum varugiren
I am coming along with you immediately
Oh oh oh unakkenavae
Oh oh oh, just for you
Vaazha thondrudhae
I feel like living my life
En piraye un idaye
My crescent moon, near you
Idhai solla thayanginen
I hesitated to say this
