யாரை தேடி நெஞ்சமே
கண்ணில் ஜாடை பேசுது
நீயும் என்னை நெருங்க
ஒரு கோடி சாரல் வீசுது
In search of whom, oh my heart?
Gestures are speaking through the eyes.
As you draw closer to me,
A ten million drops of drizzle blow over me.
மேக கூட்டம் யாவுமே....
பாதம் கீழே ஓடுது
கடலின் மீது கடந்து போகும்
பறவையாய் நீ
இதயம் கடந்தாய்.....
All the clouds in the sky...
Are running beneath my feet.
Passing across the vast ocean,
Like a bird, you
Have crossed into my heart...
ஓ ஓ ஹோய்.....
Oh oh hoi...
யாரை தேடி நெஞ்சமே
கண்ணில் ஜாடை பேசுது
நீயும் என்னை நெருங்க
ஒரு கோடி சாரல் வீசுது
In search of whom, oh my heart?
Gestures are speaking through the eyes.
As you draw closer to me,
A ten million drops of drizzle blow over me.
ஓ தாவும் குழந்தை
போல நெஞ்சம்
உன்னை கண்டு தாவி செல்ல
நீயும் என்னை தூக்கி கொஞ்ச
தவிக்கும் உயிரை என்ன சொல்ல
Oh, like a playful leaping child,
My heart wants to leap,
To jump towards you the moment it sees you.
As you lift me up to embrace me,
What can I say about my yearning soul?
இரு விழி இன்று
வழி பறி செய்து
போகும் உந்தன் பார்வையில்
இரு உடல் இன்று
ஒரு உயிர் என்று
ஆகும் உந்தன் தீண்டலில்
Two eyes today,
Committing highway robbery,
In the look that passes from you.
Two bodies today,
Becoming a single soul,
In the gentle touch of your breeze.
எந்தன் ஆயுள் ரேகை
உந்தன் கையில் பார்க்கிறேன்....ஏ.....ஏ....
The life line of my palm,
I now see in your hands...ae...ae...
யாரை தேடி நெஞ்சமே
கண்ணில் ஜாடை பேசுது
நீயும் என்னை நெருங்க
ஒரு கோடி சாரல் வீசுது
In search of whom, oh my heart?
Gestures are speaking through the eyes.
As you draw closer to me,
A ten million drops of drizzle blow over me.
ஓ காற்றில் ஈர பதங்கள் கூடும்
மாயம் தந்தாய் நீயும் மெல்ல
ஆற்றில் ஓடும் இலையை போல
நானும் உன்னில் நீந்தி செல்ல
Oh, moistness gathers in the breeze,
You softly granted me magic.
Like a leaf floating down a river,
I drift and swim along within you.
குறுந்தொகை போலே
குறும்புகள் அள்ளி
கையில் நீ நீட்டினாய்
இதுவரை இந்த உணர்வுகள் இல்லை
நீதான் உயிர் நீவினாய்
Like the classical Kurunthogai poetry,
Gathering playful mischief,
You extended it in your hand.
Never before have I felt such feelings,
You are the one who caressed my soul.
நிழலை போல நீயும் வந்து
மழலை ஆக்கினாய்.....ஆஅ.....அ.....
Coming like a shadow,
You turned me into an innocent child...aaa...aa...
யாரை தேடி நெஞ்சமே
கண்ணில் ஜாடை பேசுது
நீயும் என்னை நெருங்க
ஒரு கோடி சாரல் வீசுது
In search of whom, oh my heart?
Gestures are speaking through the eyes.
As you draw closer to me,
A ten million drops of drizzle blow over me.
மேககூட்டம் யாவுமே....
பாதம் கீழே ஓடுது
கடலின் மீது கடந்து போகும்
பறவையாய் நீ
இதயம் கடந்தாய்.....
All the clouds in the sky...
Are running beneath my feet.
Passing across the vast ocean,
Like a bird, you
Have crossed into my heart...

Trivia
Lyricist Arun Bharathi makes a cultural and literary reference to 'Kurunthogai', one of the Eight Anthologies (Ettuthokai) in classical Sangam Tamil literature, which specifically focuses on love and romantic relationships (Aham literature). In the movie 'Walter' (2020), starring Sibiraj, this song provides a soft, melodic contrast to the film's fast-paced action-thriller narrative.
