உன்னை கண்ட
நாள் முதல் என் தூக்கம்
போனது தூங்கினாலும்
உன் முகம் என்னென்று
சொல்வது
From the day I saw you
My sleep was lost
Even if I sleep, your face appears
What can I say about it?
விழுந்தாய் என் விழியில்
கலந்தாய் என் உயிரில்
நொடியில்
From the day I saw you
My sleep was lost
Male: Even if I sleep, your face appears
Female: What can I say about it?
உன்னை கண்ட
நாள் முதல் என் தூக்கம்
போனது
தூங்கினாலும்
உன் முகம்
என்னென்று சொல்வது
Resting your head on my shoulder
You must live closely with me
When you walk away separated
My heart gets wounded
எனது தோளில்
தலையை சாய்த்து
நெருங்கி நீ வாழ வேண்டும்
பிரிந்து நீயும் நடக்கும் போது
என் இதயம் காயம் படும்
Looking into eyes, intertwining fingers
I want to sleep in your lap
When dissolving in your love
A flower blossoms on the lips
விழிகள் பார்த்து
விரல்கள் கோர்த்து மடியில்
நான் தூங்க வேண்டும்
உனது அன்பில் கரையும்போது
உதட்டில் பூ பூத்திடும்
I forget the whole world
Without wings, I am flying
Without rain, I am drenched
I am dissolving in you
உலகமே மறக்கிறேன்
சிறகில்லை பறக்கிறேன்
மழை இல்லை நனைகிறேன்
உன்னில் கரைகிறேன்
From the day I saw you
My sleep was lost
Male: Even if I sleep, your face appears
Female: What can I say about it?
உன்னை கண்ட
நாள் முதல் என் தூக்கம்
போனது
தூங்கினாலும்
உன் முகம் என்னென்று
சொல்வது
Your words spoken with a smile
I want to hear them every day
I have no one to call family
You become my whole world
சிரித்து பேசும்
உனது வார்த்தை தினமும்
நான் கேட்கவேண்டும்
உறவு என்று எவருமில்லை
என் உலகம் நீ ஆகிடும்
In the four chambers of my heart
I want only you
Like a shadow on the ground
We must live united together
இதயம் தன்னில்
அறைகள் நான்கில் எனக்கு
நீ மட்டும் வேண்டும்
தரையின் மேலே நிழலை
போலே இணைந்து நாம்
வாழனும்
My lips smile
I am enjoying the world
I exist for you
I carry you in my heart
உதடுகள் சிரிக்கிறேன்
உலகினை ரசிக்கிறேன்
உனக்கென இருக்கிறேன்
நெஞ்சில் சுமக்கிறேன்
From the day I saw you
My sleep was lost
Male: Even if I sleep, your face appears
Female: What can I say about it?
உன்னை கண்ட
நாள் முதல் என் தூக்கம்
போனது
தூங்கினாலும்
உன் முகம் என்னென்று
சொல்வது
Unnai kanda naal mudhal
From the day I saw you
En thookkam ponadhu
My sleep was lost
Thoonginaalum un mugam
Even if I sleep, your face appears
Ennendru sollvadhu
What can I say about it?

From the day I saw you
En thookkam ponadhu
My sleep was lost
Male :Thoonginaalum un mugam
Male: Even if I sleep, your face appears
Female :Ennendru sollvadhu
Female: What can I say about it?
Enadhu tholil thalaiyai saaithu
Resting your head on my shoulder
Nerungi nee vaazha vendum
You must live closely with me
Pirindhu neeyum nadakkum podhu
When you walk away separated
En idhayam kaayam padum
My heart gets wounded
Vizhigal paarthu viragal korthu
Looking into eyes, intertwining fingers
Madiyil naan thoonga vendum
I want to sleep in your lap
Unadhu anbil karaiyumpodhu
When dissolving in your love
Udhattil poo pooththidum
A flower blossoms on the lips
Ulagamae..marakkiren
I forget the whole world
Siragillai..parakkiren
Without wings, I am flying
Mazhai illai..nenaigiren
Without rain, I am drenched
Unnil karaigiren
I am dissolving in you
Unnai kanda naal mudhal
From the day I saw you
En thookkam ponadhu
My sleep was lost
Male :Thoonginaalum un mugam
Male: Even if I sleep, your face appears
Ennendru sollvadhu
Female: What can I say about it?
Sirithu pesum unadhu vaarththai
Your words spoken with a smile
Dhinamum naan ketkavendum
I want to hear them every day
Uravu endru yevarumillai
I have no one to call family
En ulagam nee aagidum
You become my whole world
Idhayam thannil araigal naangil
In the four chambers of my heart
Enakku nee mattum vendum
I want only you
Tharaiyin melae nizhalai polae
Like a shadow on the ground
Inaindhu naam vaazhanum
We must live united together
Udhadugal sirikkiren
My lips smile
Ulaginai rasikkiren
I am enjoying the world
Unakena irukkiren
I exist for you
Nenjil sumakkiren
I carry you in my heart
Unnai kanda naal mudhal
From the day I saw you
En thookkam ponadhu
My sleep was lost
Male :Thoonginaalum un mugam
Male: Even if I sleep, your face appears
Ennendru sollvadhu
Female: What can I say about it?
