யாரையும் வெல்கிற காதலை வென்றிட
உன் துணை ஒன்றே போதும்…
யாரையும் தொடுகிற காற்றில் உந்தன்…
சுவாசங்கள் தனியே வேண்டும்…
To conquer love,
Which conquers anyone,
Your companionship alone is enough...
Touching anyone,
In the breeze, your...
Breaths alone are needed...
காதலில் தொலைவது சுகம்…
காதலை தொலைப்பது ரணம்
Getting lost in love is bliss...
Losing love is a painful wound.
ஒவ்வொரு நிமிடமும்
உன்னுடன் இருந்திடா…
என் மனம் ஏங்குது ஏனோ….
ஒவ்வொரு உதடும் உன்னுடன் பேசிட…
போட்டிகள் போடுது ஏனோ…
Every single minute,
To be with you...
Why does my heart yearn so?
Every lip,
To speak with you...
Why do they compete?
காதலில் தொலைவது சுகம்…
காதலை தொலைப்பது ரணம்
'
உன்னோடு பேசிப்போனதும்
உன் தோளில் சாய்ந்து போனதும்…
உன் சுவாசம் வாங்கிப்போனதும்
நினைத்திருப்பேனே…
Getting lost in love is bliss...
Losing love is a painful wound.
எப்போதும் உந்தன் ஞாபகம்…
ஓயாதே என்ன காரணம்…
எல்லாமே காதல் நூதனம்…
புரிய வைத்தாயே…
After speaking with you,
After leaning on your shoulder...
After taking in your breath,
I will keep thinking of it...
உருகுதே… உருகுதே…
ஏனது மனது வழியுதே
வழியுதே இருவிழிகளிலே
இது தான் நடக்கும்
உயிர் முழுதும் வினா..
Your memory is always there...
What is the reason it never ceases?
Everything is love's mystery...
You made me realize it...
யாரையும் வெல்கிற காதலை வென்றிட
உன் துணை ஒன்றே போதும்…
யாரையும் தொடுகிற காற்றில் உந்தன்…
சுவாசங்கள் தனியே வேண்டும்…
It melts... it melts...
My heart,
Overflows, overflows,
In both eyes.
This is what happens,
The entire soul becomes a question...
காதலில் தொலைவது சுகம்…
காதலை தொலைப்பது ரணம்
To conquer love,
Which conquers anyone,
Your companionship alone is enough...
Touching anyone,
In the breeze, your...
Breaths alone are needed...
நெஞ்சோரம் உந்தன் யோசனை…
என் மூச்சில் உந்தன் வாசனை…
கண்மூட எந்தன் ஜீவனை…
நிறைய வைத்தாயே…
Getting lost in love is bliss...
Losing love is a painful wound.
என் நாட்கள் போதவில்லையே..
பேரின்பம் தீரவில்லையே…
வேறொன்ரும் தேவையில்லையே
உருக வைத்தாயே…
Beside my heart are your thoughts...
In my breath is your fragrance...
With eyes closed, my soul...
You made it feel full...
பழகுதே பரவுதே…
உனது நினைவு
தாழ்வுதே தவழுதே
அனுதினமருகே…
My days are not enough...
Supreme joy never ends...
Nothing else is needed,
You made me melt...
உயிரைத் தருவேன்
உனக்கெனவே இதோ…
Becoming familiar, spreading...
Your memory,
Embraces and crawls,
Beside me every day...
ஒவ்வொரு நிமிடமும் உன்னுடன் இருந்திட…
என் மனம் ஏங்குது ஏனோ….
யாரையும் தொடுகிற காற்றில் உந்தன்…
சுவாசங்கள் தனியே வேண்டும்…
I will give my life,
Here, just for you...
