காலம் என்னோடு வரும்போது
கடவுள் வருகின்றான்
காதல் என் நெஞ்சைத் தொடும்போது
என் தலைவன் வருகின்றான்
When time moves in my favor,
God arrives.

My beloved arrives.

பழமை எண்ணங்கள் விலகும்
புதுமை வண்ணங்கள் வளரும்
பழமை எண்ணங்கள் விலகும்
புதுமை வண்ணங்கள் வளரும்
தனிமை இல்லாமல் மறையும்
இனிமை என்றென்றும் மலரும்
அதுதான் உலகம் தேடினேன் கை வந்தது
Old thoughts will fade away,
New colors will flourish.
Old thoughts will fade away,
New colors will flourish.
Solitude will vanish without a trace,
Sweetness will bloom forever.
That is the world I searched for, and it has come into my hands.

விளக்கில் எப்போதும் ஒளியே
கணக்கில் எப்போதும் வரவே
விளக்கில் எப்போதும் ஒளியே
கணக்கில் எப்போதும் வரவே
மனத்தில் எப்போதும் நிறைவே
வளரும் கொண்ட உறவே
அதுதான் உலகம் தேடினேன் கை வந்தது
May there always be light in the lamp,
May there always be gain in life's accounts,
May there always be light in the lamp,
May there always be gain in life's accounts,
May there always be contentment in the heart,
May the relationship I have nurtured continue to grow.
That is the world I searched for, and it has come into my hands.
