Vaanil pogum megam ellaam

All the clouds drifting in the sky
Brush past me as they go.
Shining light through a song,
The darkness yearns.
...
Oh, endless blue ocean,
You draw me to you from across lands.
With a glance of your eyes, you tilt the umbrella,
When your fingers touch me, girl, you breathe life into me.
With your divine, watchful eyes,
Speaking words of longing,
Come walk beside me, my companion,
My love.
As far as this road goes,
I will always be the sight before your eyes.
Oh, endless blue ocean,
Like a raindrop falling from the sky,
I have come down to earth to join you.
I look at the whole world—can we become one?
I ask for your bond—will my wish come true?
My heart hopes it will come true,
You are my companion,
You are this girl's whole world.
With those divine eyes of yours...
