நீல வானிலே மேகம்
போலவே ரெக்கை கட்டி ஆட
எண்ணுதே வெள்ளம் போலவே
பொங்கி ஓடியே நெஞ்சம் இன்று
தாளம் போடுதே
In the blue sky
Just like a cloud
The heart longs to sprout wings and dance
Like a rushing flood
Overflowing and running
The heart keeps beat today
நீல வானிலே மேகம்
போலவே ரெக்கை கட்டி ஆட
எண்ணுதே வெள்ளம் போலவே
பொங்கி ஓடியே நெஞ்சம் இன்று
தாளம் போடுதே
In the blue sky
Just like a cloud
The heart longs to sprout wings and dance
Like a rushing flood
Overflowing and running
The heart keeps beat today

பாடி நாம் தானே கவலை இந்த
வாழ்வில் ஏது

There is no scarcity of love here
There is no deceit here...

அன்பு ஒன்று தான்
தேவையானது அச்சம் இங்கு
தேவை இல்லையே ஆணும்

என்றும் இங்கு பாவம் இல்லையே
Love alone
Is all that is needed
Fear is not needed here
A man and a woman
Falling in love with each other
Is never a sin here
