{ யாரோ இவன்
யாரோ இவன் என்
பூக்களின் வேரோ
இவன் என் பெண்மையை
வென்றான் இவன் அன்பானவன் } (2)
Who is he? Who is he?
Is he the root of my flowers?
He conquered my womanhood,
He is a loving man.
உன் காதலில்
கரைகின்றவன் உன்
பாா்வையில் உறைகின்றவன்
உன் பாதையில் நிழலாகவே
வருகின்றவன்
He dissolves in your love,
He freezes in your gaze,
To become a shadow on your path,
He comes along.
என் கோடையில்
மழையானவன் என்
வாடையில் வெயிலானவன்
கண் ஜாடையில் என்
தேவையை அறிவான் இவன்
He became rain in my summer,
He became sunlight in my cold winter,
Through just a glance of an eye,
He understands my needs.
எங்கே உன்னை
கூட்டிச்செல்ல சொல்வாய்
எந்தன் காதில் மெல்ல
Where shall I take you?
Whisper softly in my ear.
Female: For my womanhood to rest,
A space on your chest is enough.
என் பெண்மையும்
இளைப்பாறவே உன் மாா்பிலே
இடம் போதுமே
Why is the distance lessening today?
Female: Softly, our hearts are connecting.
ஏன் இன்று
இடைவெளி குறைகிறதே
மெதுவாக இதயங்கள்
இணைகிறதே
Your fingers and my fingers,
Are reaching out for each other.
உன் கைவிரல்
என் கைவிரல் கேட்கின்றதே
Who is he? Who is he?
Is he the root of my flowers?
He conquered my womanhood,
He is a loving man.
யாரோ இவன்
யாரோ இவன் என்
பூக்களின் வேரோ
இவன் என் பெண்மையை
வென்றான் இவன் அன்பானவன்
If your breath touches me,
Why does my shyness admit defeat?
Male: When your scent arrives,
Why do my thoughts change?
உன் சுவாசங்கள்
எனைத் தீண்டினால் என்
நாணங்கள் ஏன் தோற்குதோ
A leaf falls into the river,
Male: Floating on the waves, it crawls along.
Female: Will it reach the shore? Will it reach your hands,
O future?
உன் வாசனை
வரும் வேளையில் என்
யோசனை ஏன் மாறுதோ
He was born just for me,
He will come to protect me,
He conquered my womanhood,
He is a loving man.
நதியினில் ஒரு
இலை விழுகிறதே
அலைகளில்
மிதந்தது தவழ்கிறதே
கரைசேருமா உன்
கைசேருமா எதிா்காலமே
He became rain in my summer,
He became sunlight in my cold winter,
Through just a glance of an eye,
He understands my needs.
எனக்காகவே
பிறந்தான் இவன் எனை
காக்கவே வருவான் இவன்
என் பெண்மையை வென்றான்
இவன் அன்பானவன்
என் கோடையில்
மழையானவன் என் வாடையில்
வெயிலானவன் கண் ஜாடையில்
என் தேவையை அறிவான் இவன்
