உன் கூட நடந்தேன்
மத்தத எல்லாம் மறந்தேன்
கை கோர்த்து பறந்தேன்
சக்கரையே
I walked with you
I forgot everything else
Holding hands, I flew
My sweet sugar
I fell when you spoke
I carried you in my heart
I lay down becoming you
My sweet sugar
நீ பேச விழுந்தேன்
நெஞ்சுல உன்னை சுமந்தேன்
நீயாகி கிடந்தேன்
சக்கரையே
Where are you
Where did I lose you
I squirmed when distance grew
I wished to touch you
எங்க நீ
உன்னை எங்கே தொலைச்சன்
தூரம் வந்ததும் துடிச்சன்
உன்னை தொட்டுட நினைச்சன்
Like a song united with the local breeze
We became the dust of the drizzle
Now somewhere, an unapproachable nest
A distant land
We became unknown faces of longing
ஊர் காத்தோட ஒன்னான பாட்டா
தூவானத்து தூசா நாமாகப் போனோம்
இப்போ எங்கயோ நெருங்காத கூட
தொலைவான நாடா
தெரியாத மொகமானோம்

Come back and embrace me
If you have sadness

தினம் நீ சிரிச்சா
என் மனசுக்குள்ள
ஒரு மின்னல் விழும்
ஒரு மின்னல் விழும்
My mirror will show you
Your great beauty that came seeking
My mirror
My mirror
என்னைக்கோ நேரம் இருந்தா
திரும்ப வந்து அணைப்பேன்
உனக்கு சோகம் இருந்தா
அதை நான் மாற்ற நினைப்பேன்
