ஒரு நேச மேகம்
உயிா் தீண்டும் நேரம் நான்
மெதுவாய் கரைய இவள் பாச
பறவை என்னில் வாழும்போது
நான் அழகாய் தொலைய
A cloud of love
At the moment it touches the soul
As I gently dissolve
She is a bird of affection
When she lives within me
As I beautifully lose myself
ஓயாமலே உயிா்
கூத்தாடுதே வோ் காலிலும்
பூ பூக்குதே
Ceaselessly, my soul
Dances in celebration
Even at the very roots
Flowers begin to bloom
உடையாதே உடையாதே
அடி நெஞ்சே உடையாதே
விழி ஓரம் அலை மோதும்
கண்ணீாில் கரையாதே
தொலையாதே தொலையாதே
உன்னை தாண்டி தொலையாதே
அலைந்தாலும் திாிந்தாலும்
முடிவென்ன தொியாதே
Do not break, do not break
Oh my heart, do not break
Waves crash at the corner of my eyes
Do not dissolve in tears
நூறோடு நூற்று
ஒன்றாய் யாா்யாரோ எந்தன்
வாழ்வில் நீா் மீது கோலம் போட
ஏதேதோ எந்தன் வழியில்
Do not get lost, do not get lost
Do not lose yourself beyond bounds
Even if you wander and roam
The final outcome remains unknown
கையின்ரேகை போல
உன்னை காலமெல்லாம் நான்
சுமப்பேன் வெயில் ரேகை மேல்
படாமல் பாா்த்திருப்பேனே
As one among a hundred strangers
Random people enter my life
Drawing patterns on water
Various occurrences cross my path
உடையாதே உடையாதே
அடி நெஞ்சே உடையாதே
விழி ஓரம் அலை மோதும்
கண்ணீாில் கரையாதே
தொலையாதே தொலையாதே
உன்னை தாண்டி தொலையாதே
அலைந்தாலும் திாிந்தாலும்
முடிவென்ன தொியாதே
Like the lines on my palm
I will carry you forever
Without letting a ray of heat touch you
I will protect and care for you
{ உயிா் நதி கலங்குதே
உணா்வெல்லாம் அதிா்ந்ததே
இறைவா இறைவா அனல் சுடா்
உறையுதே அகம் எல்லாம் நிறையுதே
இது தான் உறவா } (3)
Do not break, do not break
Oh my heart, do not break
Waves crash at the corner of my eyes
Do not dissolve in tears
Do not get lost, do not get lost
Do not lose yourself beyond bounds
Even if you wander and roam
The final outcome remains unknown
The river of life turns murky
All senses tremble violently
Oh God, oh God
The fiery flame freezes
Filling my whole inner self
Is this what a bond truly is?
