தேசம் விட்டு தேசம் செல்லும் மேகமே
உன் வாசல் வந்து வானை விட்டு தூவுமே
உன் தோளின் மீது மெல்ல விழும்
அது தூறல் அல்ல, காதல் மனம்
Oh cloud traveling from country to country,
It leaves the sky to shower at your doorstep,
Falling gently upon your shoulder,
That is not a drizzle... but the fragrance of love.
நேரில் மீண்டும் பார்க்கவா
நேற்றில் நானும் வாழவா
தொலைத்தூரம்
அதை தொலைக்கவா
Shall I see you in person again?
Shall I live in yesterday once more?
Shall I make this long distance vanish?
நீங்கி நீங்கி போனாலும்
நீ வானம் தாண்டி வாழ்ந்தாலும்
நினைவாலே உனை நெருங்கவா
Even if you move farther and farther away,
Even if you live beyond the sky,
Shall I come close to you through memories?
அன்பே நீ எங்கோ ஓர் இடம்
நான் இங்கே வேர் இடம்
காற்றில் நீந்தியே வா என் தோழி
My love, you are somewhere in a distant place,
And I am here in another place,
Swim through the wind and come, my companion.
தேசம் விட்டு தேசம் செல்லும் மேகமே
உன் வாசல் வந்து வானை விட்டு தூவுமே
உன் தோளின் மீது மெல்ல விழும்
அது தூறல் அல்ல, காதல் மனம்
Oh cloud traveling from country to country,
It leaves the sky to shower at your doorstep,
Falling gently upon your shoulder,
That is not a drizzle... but the fragrance of love.
கண்கள் தூங்கும் நேரமும்
மீண்டும் மீண்டும் பார்க்கிறேனே
உன்னை கனவிலே
Even when my eyes are asleep,
I see you again and again,
In my dreams.
அன்பே நீ எங்கோ ஓர் இடம்
நான் இங்கே வேர் இடம்
காற்றில் நீந்தியே வா என் தோழி
My love, you are somewhere in a distant place,
And I am here in another place,
Swim through the wind and come, my companion.
தேசம் விட்டு தேசம் செல்லும் மேகமே
உன் வாசல் வந்து வானை விட்டு தூவுமே
உன் தோளின் மீது மெல்ல விழும்
அது தூறல் அல்ல, காதல் மனம்
