உன்னால்
உன்னால் உன் நினைவால்
உலகில் இல்லை நான் தானே
உள்ளே கேட்கும் ஓசையிலே
உன்னை உன்னை கேட்டேனே
Because of you, because of you,
Because of your memories,
I am no longer present
In this world by myself.
In the inner sound
That echoes within,
I searched and asked for you.
உன்னோடு
சேர்ந்து நெடுந்தூரங்கள்
காலார நடந்து மிதந்தேனே
உன்னிடம் தந்த இதயத்தை
தேடி உன்னில் என்னை
தொலைத்தேனே
Joining together with you,
For long distances,
Walking leisurely,
I floated in joy.
Searching for the heart
I gave to you,
I lost myself within you.
ஹா ஹா
ஹா ஹா ஹா
ஹா ஹா ஹா
(Vocalizing: Haaa... haaa... haaa.. haa)
(Vocalizing: Haaa.. haaa.. haaaa... haaa...)
எந்தன் விழி
ஓரங்கள் உன் இமையில்
சாயுதே என் கண் கடை
மூடினால் உந்தன் முகம்
தெரியுதே
The edges
Of my eyes
Rest upon your eyelids.
When I close the corners of my eyes,
Your face appears.
என் பகல்
உன் கண்ணில் நீ
இல்லை என்றாலே
நான் ஏதும் இல்லை
இரவு தான்
My daylight is
In your eyes.
If you are not there,
I am nothing but
A night without end.
நான் உன்னை
உனக்கே தெரியாமல்
கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சமாக
படித்தேனே பூமியில்
உள்ள காதலை எல்லாம்
முன்னாள் வாழ்ந்தாய்
ரசித்தேனே
Without even your own knowledge,
Unbeknownst to you,
Bit by bit,
I read and understood you.
All the love
That exists on this earth,
You lived before my eyes,
And I cherished it.
ஹா ஹா
ஹா ஹா ஹா
ஹா ஹா ஹா
(Vocalizing: Haaa... haaa... haaa.. haa)
(Vocalizing: Haaa.. haaa.. haaaa... haaa...)
இன்னும் இன்னும்
கனவுகள் உன்னை பற்றி
வேண்டுமே என்னென்னமோ
ஆசைகள் உன் நெய்வை
தூண்டுமே
More and more
Dreams
I need concerning you.
Various desires
Awaken your memories.
என் மழை
காலங்கள் என் வெயில்
நேரங்கள் எல்லாமே
உன்னில் தொடங்குதே
My rainy
Seasons,
My sunny
Times,
Everything begins
With you.
ஒரே ஒரு
புன்னகை போதும்
அன்பே உன்னக்கென
காத்து கெடப்பேனே
ஆயிரம் கோடி ஆண்டுகள்
தாண்டி உன்னில் வாழ
துடிப்பேனே
Just a single smile
Is enough, my love.
I will stay waiting
Exclusively for you.
Beyond thousands of crores
Of years,
I yearn to live within you.
ஹா ஹா
ஹா ஹா ஹா
ஹா ஹா ஹா
