யாவும் பொய்தானா
காதல் தவிர மண்ணிலே
நீ என் உயிர்தானா
நானும் பிழைத்தேன் உன்னாலே
Is everything a lie
on this earth, except love?
Are you truly my life?
I survived because of you.
Love was conceived within me,
and spread like music in the air.
Nothing like this existed until now,
where does its boundary lie?
Give me an answer, my dear.
காதல் உன்னோடு கருவானதே
காற்றில் இசை போல பறிபோனதே
இதுவரை இது இல்லை
எது வரை இதன் எல்லை
எனக்கொரு பதில் சொல்வாயடா
In the silence meant for you,
for the words meant for me,
I found bliss in searching for them.
I found it, yes I found it, my dear.
உனக்கான மௌனத்தில்
எனக்கான வார்த்தையை
நான் தேடி பார்த்ததில் சுகம்
கண்டேன் கண்டேன் நான்தானடா
Though hearts across the whole world
continue to live,
as the heart meant specifically for me,
I found you, yes I found you, my dear.
புவி எங்கும் இதயங்கள்
வாழ்கின்ற போதிலும்
எனக்கான இதயமாய் உன்னை
கண்டேன் கண்டேன் நான் தானடா...
Is everything a lie
on this earth, except love?
Are you truly my life?
I survived because of you.
யாவும் பொய்தானா
காதல் தவிர மண்ணிலே
நீ என் உயிர்தானா
நானும் பிழைத்தேன் உன்னாலே
Mmm..mmm…mm…mm…mm…mm..
Mmm..mmm…mm…mm…mm…mm..
ஹா.....ஆஅ.....ஆஆ......

Your bond alone is enough
for me, my love.
Take away my breath with your hug,
stop it, my love.
உந்தன் உறவே
போதும் எனக்கு அன்பே
உந்தன் அணைப்பால்
மூச்சை நிறுத்து அன்பே
A little intoxication,
a little hesitation,
both are gifts given
by love.
A little closeness,
a little tightness,
both are gifts that womanhood
asks for.
கொஞ்சம் மயக்கம்
கொஞ்சம் தயக்கம்
ரெண்டும் காதல் தந்த பரிசுதான்
கொஞ்சம் இறக்கம்
கொஞ்சம் இறுக்கம்
ரெண்டும் பெண்மை கேட்கும் பரிசுதான்
As all my desires go
heading towards you,
without a sound, all words
die away.
ஆசை அனைத்தும்....
உன்னை நோக்கியே போக
ஓசை இன்றியே...ஏ...
வார்த்தை அனைத்தும் சாக
Like a drizzle falling
on sleeping eyes,
I feel it as the distance diminishes.
In my rooms,
shedding the curtains of attire,
I move away and blossom.
தூங்கும் விழிகளில்
தூறல் விழுந்ததாய்
தூரம் குறைகையில் உணர்கிறேன்
எந்தன் அறைகளில்
அடை திரைகளை
விட்டு விலகி நான் மலர்கிறேன்...
In the silence meant for you,
for the words meant for me,
I found bliss in searching for them.
I found it, yes I found it, my dear.
உனக்கான மௌனத்தில்
எனக்கான வார்த்தையை
நான் தேடி பார்த்ததில் சுகம்
கண்டேன் கண்டேன் நான்தானடா
Though hearts across the whole world
continue to live,
as the heart meant specifically for me,
I found you, yes I found you, my dear.
புவி எங்கும் இதயங்கள்
வாழ்கின்ற போதிலும்
எனக்கான இதயமாய் உன்னை
கண்டேன் கண்டேன் நான்தானடா...
Aa… aaa… aaa..
Ah... ah... ah...
