உன்னை பார்த்தால் போதும்
எந்தன் அழகு குட்டி செல்லம்
இந்த ஜென்மம் தீரும்
எந்தன் அழகு குட்டி செல்லம்
Just looking at you is enough
My beautiful little darling
This life feels fulfilled
My beautiful little darling
இறைவன் அவன்
உருவம் எது
நான் காண்கிறேன்
நீதான் அது
That God,
what is His form?
I am seeing it,
it is you.
உன்னை பார்த்தால் போதும்
எந்தன் அழகு குட்டி செல்லம்
இந்த ஜென்மம் தீரும்
எந்தன் அழகு குட்டி செல்லம்
Just looking at you is enough
My beautiful little darling
This life feels fulfilled
My beautiful little darling
நீ யார்....
நீ யாரோ நான்தான்
நீயாய் மாறினாய்
நான் யார்
நான் யாரோ நீதான்
நான் என்று கூறினாய்
Who are you...
Whoever you were, it was I who
transformed into you.
Who am I...
Whoever I was, it was you who
proclaimed 'It is me'.
வேர் நான்
பூ நீதான் பூவே
வாசம் வீசினாய்
வாசம்....
என் சுவாசம் என்றும்
நீதானே
I am the root,
you are the flower, oh flower,
you spread fragrance.
Fragrance....
my breath forever
is only you.

Just looking at you is enough
My beautiful little darling
This life feels fulfilled
My beautiful little darling
உன்னை அள்ளி நான் கொஞ்சும் போது
அதை போல சுகம் இங்கு ஏது
உனக்காக பூ பூக்கும் பூமி
உனை தீண்ட மழையாகும் மேகம்
When I gather you close and cuddle you,
what bliss on earth compares to that?
The earth blooms with flowers for you,
the clouds turn into rain to touch you.
சொர்க்கத்தின் துண்டொன்று
மண்மீது வந்தே
கை நீட்டி விளையாட கண்டேன்....
இன்பத்தின் அர்த்தங்கள்
உன் முத்தம் என்றே
முத்தாட பித்தேறினேன்
A piece of heaven,
having descended upon the earth,
I saw it reach out its hands and play...
The true meanings of joy
are in your kiss,
I became enamored with affection to kiss you.
நீ பேசும் பாசை
கேட்டால் போதும்
நான் கொண்ட எல்லா
துன்பமும் தீரும்
உன் பாதம் வீட்டில்
வந்தால் போதும்
உனக்காக வாழ்வேன் நான்
The language you speak,
if I hear it, that is enough,
all the sorrows
that I hold will vanish.
If your tiny feet
enter our home, that is enough,
I shall live solely for you.
உன்னை பார்த்தால் போதும்
எந்தன் அழகு குட்டி செல்லம்
