உன்னைத்தான் உன்னைத்தான்
என் கண்ணில் கண்டேன்
கண் தூங்கும் நேரத்திலும்
என்னைத்தான் என்னைத்தான்
உன் வசம் தந்தேன்
நீ இல்லா தூரத்திலும்
Only you, only you
I saw in my eyes
Even when my eyes sleep
Only myself, only myself
I gave into your possession
Even at a distance where you are not there
அக்கம் பக்கம் நீதான் இல்லை
அந்த எண்ணம் என்னில் இல்லை
எனக்குள்ளே இருப்பது நீதான்
You are not by my side around me
Yet that thought is not in me
The one living inside me is only you
உன்னைத்தான் உன்னைத்தான்
என் கண்ணில் கண்டேன்
கண் தூங்கும் நேரத்திலும்
என்னைத்தான் என்னைத்தான்
உன் வசம் தந்தேன்
நீ இல்லா தூரத்திலும்
Only you, only you
I saw in my eyes
Even when my eyes sleep
Only myself, only myself
I gave into your possession
Even at a distance where you are not there

பார்வைக்குள் வந்து
பல நாள் பல நாள் என்னை
திண்டாட வைத்தானே
போர்வைக்குள் வந்து
ஒரு நாள் ஒரு நாள் என்னை
கொண்டாட செய்தானே
Coming into my sight
For many days, many days, me
He made me struggle
Coming under the blanket
One day, one day, me
He made me celebrate
கூச்சமும் இல்லாமல்
நாணமும் இல்லாமல்
உன்னையே யோசித்தேன் எனக்குள்ளயே
Without any hesitation
Without any shyness
I thought only of you within myself
உள்ளுக்குள்ளே உள்ளுக்குள்ளே
ஆயிரம் குற்றாலம்
உன் பெயர் நான் சொல்லும்போது
லட்சம் ஜென்மம் லட்சம் ஜென்மம்
உன்னுடன் சேர்ந்துதான்
வாழ்ந்திட்ட ஆனந்தம் போதும்
Deep inside me, deep inside me
A thousand Courtallam waterfalls flow
When I say your name
A hundred thousand births, a hundred thousand births
Being united with you
The joy of having lived is enough
உன்னைத்தான் உன்னைத்தான்
என் கண்ணில் கண்டேன்
கண் தூங்கும் நேரத்திலும்
என்னைத்தான் என்னைத்தான்
உன் வசம் தந்தேன்
நீ இல்லா தூரத்திலும்
Only you, only you
I saw in my eyes
Even when my eyes sleep mmm
Only myself, only myself
I gave into your possession
Even at a distance where you are not there
ஏன் என்ன ஆச்சு
இவனை இவனை எண்ணி
பைத்தியம் ஆனேனே
வாய் மூச்சு பேச்சு
உளறல் குளறல் எல்லாம்
புரியாமல் போனேனே
Why, what happened?
Thinking of him, thinking of him
I became crazy
Mouth's breath and speech
Babbling and mumbling, all of it
I became unable to comprehend
சாலைகள் எல்லாமே
அவனிடம் போகிறதே
எத்தனை ஆசைகள் கணக்கில்லையே
All the roads
Are leading to him
So many desires, beyond count
முன்னே வந்து முன்னே வந்து
என் முகம் பார்க்கத்தான்
கண்ணாடி பார்க்கின்றேன் நானே
கண்ணாடிக்குள் உந்தன் பிம்பம்
தோன்றுது கண்ணில்தான்
வாழ்த்துக்கள் சொல்கின்றேன் நானே
Coming forward, coming forward
Just to look at my face
I look into the mirror
Inside the mirror, your reflection
Appears right in my eyes
I offer my wishes to myself
உன்னைத்தான் உன்னைத்தான்
என் கண்ணில் கண்டேன்
கண் தூங்கும் நேரத்திலும்
என்னைத்தான் என்னைத்தான்
உன் வசம் தந்தேன்
நீ இல்லா தூரத்திலும்
Only you, only you
I saw in my eyes
Even when my eyes sleep mmm
Only myself, only myself
I gave into your possession
Even at a distance where you are not there
ஹ்ம்ம்.....
அக்கம் பக்கம் நீதான் இல்லை
அந்த எண்ணம் என்னில் இல்லை
எனக்குள்ளே இருப்பது நீதான்
Hmmm…
You are not by my side around me
Yet that thought is not in me
The one living inside me is only you
உன்னைத்தான் உன்னைத்தான்
