ஒளி இல்லா உன்
மொழிகள் விடை தேடும்
என் விழிகள் இமைக்காத
நம் நொடிகள் கடிகார
தேன் துளிகள்
Your soundless words,
My eyes searching for answers,
Our unblinking moments,
Honey drops of the clock.
அடி வாராரா உன்
காதல் நீ சொல்லடி வாராத
நடிப்பெல்லாம் வேண்டாமடி
மின்னஞ்சல் குறுஞ்செய்தி
அனுப்பாதடி கண் முன்னே
உந்தன் எண்ணம் கூறடி
Hey girl, express your love clearly,
I don't need any unreal acting.
Don't send emails or short text messages,
Speak your mind directly in front of my eyes.
விளம்பர இடைவெளி
மாலையில் உன் திருமுகம்
திறக்கின்ற வேளையில் என்
நிறமற்ற இதயத்தில் வானவில்
அடி என்ன நிலை உந்தன் மனதில்
In the evening during commercial breaks,
When your sacred face opens up,
A rainbow appears in my colorless heart,
Hey girl, what is the state of your mind?
நான் உனதே அடி நீ
எனதா தெரியாமல் நானும்
தேய்கிறேன் இல்லை என்றே
சொன்னால் இன்றே என் மோக
பார்வை மூடுவேன்
I am yours, but girl, are you mine?
Without knowing the truth, I am eroding away.
If you say 'no' today itself,
I will close my passionate gaze.
காதல் பூவை நான்
ஏற்று கொண்டால் உன்
காத்திருப்பு நிறைவாகுமே
காத்திருப்பு அது தீர்ந்து
விட்டால் நம் கால் தடங்கள்
அவை திசை மாறுமே
If I accept the flower of love,
Your long wait will be fulfilled.
Once that waiting comes to an end,
Our footprints will change directions.
இவளின் கனவோ
உள்ளே ஒளியும் இரவும்
பகலும் இதயம் வழியும்
வழியும் கனவு இதழை
அடையும் எந்த காட்சியில்
அது வார்த்தை ஆகிடும்
Is her dream hiding inside?
Day and night, it overflows from the heart.
The overflowing dream reaches the lips,
In which scene will it transform into words?
