காதல் இது போதும் இனி
ஹா.....ஆஅ....ஆஅ....ஆஅ....
ஏதும் கைக் கூடும் இனி
This love is enough from now on
Haa….aaa…aaa….aaa…
Everything will fall into place now
வீட்டுக்குள்ள வானவில்லு
சிந்திடுச்சே கையில் அள்ளு
வானத்துக்கே போக சொல்லு
A rainbow inside the home
Has spilled, gather it in your hands
Tell it to go back to the sky…
நிலவு வேணா
சிரிப்பு போதும்
வெயிலும் வேணாஅணைப்பு போதும்
வீடு முழுக்க
கனவு சேர்த்தோமே...ஏ....
No need for the moon
Her smile is enough
No need for the sunlight
An embrace is enough
Across the entire house
We gathered dreams..
ஊரு விட்டு ஊரு வந்து
வேற மண்ணில் வேறு விட்டு பார்த்தோம்
விட்டு பார்த்தோம்
காதல் மட்டும் பூத்தோம்
Moving from town to town
We tried taking root in a new soil
We watched and tried
Only love blossomed
ஹா....ஆஅ....ஆஅ...
காலம் கையில் கூடி வர
சொந்தம் எல்லாம் தேடி வர
சேர்ந்தோம் ஒன்னும் சேர்ந்தோம்
வேணா வேறேதும்....
Haa….aaa…aaa…
As favorable time approaches in our hands
As relatives come seeking us out
We united, united as one
Nothing else is needed
அன்பில் நிறஞ்சோமே இதை
கண்ணில் புது காதல் கதை
A mind that daily gathers desires
A forest that blooms until requested
ஆசை தினம் கோக்கும் மனம்
கேட்கும் வரை பூக்கும் வனம்
Oh flowery stream...
You spread wings across the sky
You gently grabbed and snatched my heart..
பூ நாரையா
நீ வானில் ரெக்க விரிச்சாயே
லேசாக நெஞ்ச கவ்வி பறிச்சாயே....ஏ....
Oh my sky...
As a drizzle spills drop by drop
Coming into my heart every day
Come inside and get trapped
My heart is a blind alley
என் வானமே...ஏ....
தூறல் ஒண்ணு சிந்த சிந்த
என் மனசில் நாலும் வந்து
உள்ள வந்து மாட்டிக்கிடு
என் மனசு முட்டுச் சந்து
Like a beetle trapped in honey
I got trapped inside the heart
With no intention to come out....
தேனுக்குள்ள வண்ட போல
மாட்டிக்கிட்டேன் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள
வெளிய வர எண்ணம் இல்லை
Haa….aaa…aaa….aaa…
