வெண்ணிலா எதுவும் பேசாமலே
நெஞ்சை நெஞ்சை கிள்ளி விடும்
செல்லமாய் வளர்ந்து தேய்கின்றதில்
கண்ணை கண்ணை கொள்ளையிடும்
Without saying anything, the white moon
Gently pinches the heart again and again.
By affectionately waxing and waning,
It captivates and steals one's eyes completely.
மன்னவா நானும் பேசாமல்
நிழலாய் வந்து போவேனே
உன்னுடன் நான் வர வார்த்தை தேவையா
Oh my king, I too without speaking,
Will come and go like a shadow.
Are words really needed for me to accompany you?
வெண்ணிலா எதுவும் பேசாமலே
நெஞ்சை நெஞ்சை கிள்ளி விடும்....
Without saying anything, the white moon
Gently pinches the heart again and again.
எனது நேற்றும் உனது நேற்றும்
ஓடும் ரயில் போல ஓடட்டுமே
உனது நாளை எனது தோளில்
ஊஞ்சல் கட்டித்தான் ஆடட்டுமே
My yesterday and your yesterday,
Let them run past like a moving train.
Male: Your tomorrow, on my shoulder,
Let it swing like a tied cradle.
அன்பே உந்தன் காதலின் வேர்வை
நெஞ்சம் எங்கும் ஊர்கிறதே
தாராததும் பெறாததும்
கனாவிலே தினம் வரும்
My love, the sweat of your affection,
Creeps all over my heart.
Male: Things not given and things not received,
Come every day in my dreams.
வெண்ணிலா எதுவும் பேசாமலே
நெஞ்சை நெஞ்சை கிள்ளி விடும்
Without saying anything, the white moon
Male: Gently pinches the heart again and again.
எனக்கு பேச ஆசையும் வந்தால்
உந்தன் குரலைத்தான் கடன் வாங்குவேன்
எனது என்று எதுவுமில்லை
உன் நெஞ்சின் ஓரத்தில் இடம் வாங்குவேன்
If I ever feel the urge to speak,
I will borrow none other than your voice.
Male: Nothing exists that I can call strictly mine,
I shall buy a small corner in your heart.
கண்ணின் ஓரம் ஓர் துளி நீரும்
காதல் நெஞ்சை சொல்லி விடும்
உன்னோடு நான் கை கோர்த்ததும்
உள்ளே ஒரு ரசாயனம்
A single tear drop at the corner of the eye,
Will express everything about the loving heart.
Male: The moment I intertwined my hands with yours,
A chemical reaction sparkled inside.
வெண்ணிலா எதுவும் பேசாமலே
நெஞ்சை நெஞ்சை கிள்ளி விடும்
செல்லமாய் வளர்ந்து தேய்கின்றதில்
கண்ணை கண்ணை கொள்ளையிடும்
Without saying anything, the white moon
Gently pinches the heart again and again.
By affectionately waxing and waning,
It captivates and steals one's eyes completely.
மௌனமே நீயும் பேசாமல்
மின்னலாய் வந்து போனாயே
என்னுடன் நீ வர வார்த்தை தேவையா
Oh Silence, you too without speaking,
Came and went like a flash of lightning.
Are words really needed for you to accompany me?
வெண்ணிலா எதுவும் பேசாமலே
நெஞ்சை நெஞ்சை கிள்ளி விடும்
செல்லமாய் வளர்ந்து தேய்கின்றதில்
கண்ணை கண்ணை கொள்ளையிடும்......
Without saying anything, the white moon
Gently pinches the heart again and again.

It captivates and steals one's eyes completely.
