வா வா எந்தன்
நிலவே வெண்ணிலவே
என் வாழ்வே நீ தான்
நிலவே வெண்ணிலவே
Come, come, my
Moon, O white moon
You are my life
Moon, O white moon
பிரித்தாலும்
பிரியாது நம் காதல்
அழியாது வரும்
தடைகளை உடைத்திடும்
உறவுக்கு வழி கொடு
Even if separated, it won't break apart
Our love will never perish
Breaking all the obstacles that arrive
Give way to our relationship
வா வா எந்தன்
நிலவே வெண்ணிலவே
என் வாழ்வே நீ தான்
நிலவே வெண்ணிலவே
Come, come, my
Moon, O white moon
You are my life
Moon, O white moon
காணும்
கனவெல்லாம்
என்றும் நீ தானே
என் கனவெல்லாம்
நினைவாக வா வா
கண்மணியே
All the dreams I see
Are always you alone
For all my dreams to come true
Come, come, my precious one
வீசும் காற்றில்
தூசி ஆனேனே உன்னை
எங்கோ மனம் பேச
உள்ளம் நொந்தேனே
In the blowing wind
I turned into dust
While my mind speaks of you somewhere
My heart ached in pain
நாம் ஒன்று
சேரும் திரு நாளும்
உருவாகும் ஜென்மங்கள்
ஏழேழும் நாம் வாழ்வதை
தடுத்திட முடியாது
The holy day when we unite
Will surely be created
Across seven times seven births
Our living together
Cannot be stopped
வா வா எந்தன்
நிலவே வெண்ணிலவே
என் வாழ்வே நீ தான்
நிலவே வெண்ணிலவே
Come, come, my
Moon, O white moon
You are my life
Moon, O white moon
காதல்
பிரிவென்றால்
உள்ளம் துடிக்கிறதே
அதை காதால் கேட்டாலே
உலகே வெறுக்கிறதே
When love faces separation
The heart throbs in pain
Just hearing about it with one's ears
Makes one detest the world
தீயாய் உடல்
எங்கும் என்னை
சுடுகிறதே உன்னை
தேடும் கண்கள்
கண்ணீர் வடிக்கிறதே
Like fire, all over my body
It burns me down
The eyes that search for you
Shed tears
உன்னோடு
நாளும் நிழல் ஆக
வருவேனே உடலோடு
உயிராக நாம் சேர்ந்தது
யாருக்கும் தெரியாது
With you, every day
I will come like a shadow
Like body and soul
How we united
No one will ever know
வா வா எந்தன்
நிலவே வெண்ணிலவே
என் வாழ்வே நீ தான்
நிலவே வெண்ணிலவே
Come, come, my
Moon, O white moon
You are my life
Moon, O white moon
பிரித்தாலும்
பிரியாது நம் காதல்
அழியாது வரும்
தடைகளை உடைத்திடும்
உறவுக்கு வழி கொடு
Even if separated, it won't break apart
Our love will never perish
Breaking all the obstacles that arrive
Give way to our relationship
வா வா எந்தன்
நிலவே வெண்ணிலவே
என் வாழ்வே நீ தான்
நிலவே வெண்ணிலவே
