எதையோ நினைத்தது
எதுவோ நடந்தது
மனமோ தவித்தது......
சமயமிப்போ கிடைத்தது
புது வடிவம் கொடுத்தது
Something was on the mind
Something else occurred
The heart yearned restlessly
Now the right opportunity has arrived
It gave shape to a new form
The arrival brings sweet delight
The bond is rooted in the heart
The outcome is pure victory
And that begins right today
வரவு சுகந்தான்
உறவு மணம்தான்
முடிவு ஜெயம்தான்.........
அது இன்றே தொடங்குது....

The arrival brings sweet delight
The bond is rooted in the heart
The outcome is pure victory
And that begins right today
இந்த இடமே சொந்த இடம்தான்..(2)
நாம் இருந்த இருப்பை மறந்து சிரிக்கவே
மனம் அணைந்து விருந்தை அருந்தி ரசிக்கவே...
இதை உணர்ந்து எனைக் கலந்து
மெய்யின்பம் கொடுக்கவா...
As sounds fade, desires begin to rise
As sounds fade, desires begin to rise
A new emotion awakens
And blooms like a flower
That passion grows stronger
Giving rise to intense excitement
One of the nine sacred emotions
The floral bed shall bestow upon us
எதையோ நினைத்தது
எதுவோ நடந்தது
மனமோ தவித்தது......
சமயமிப்போ கிடைத்தது
புது வடிவம் கொடுத்தது

வரவு சுகந்தான்
உறவு மணம்தான்
முடிவு ஜெயம்தான்.........
அது இன்றே தொடங்குது....
ஓசை அடங்கும் ஆசை தொடங்கும்..(2)
புது உணர்ச்சி விழித்து மலர்ச்சி அடைந்திடும்
அது வளர்ச்சி மிகுந்து கிளர்ச்சி கொடுத்திடும்
நவரசத்தில் ஒரு ரசத்தை மலர்மஞ்சம் அளித்திடும்.....
எதையோ நினைத்தது
எதுவோ நடந்தது
மனமோ தவித்தது......
சமயமிப்போ கிடைத்தது
புது வடிவம் கொடுத்தது
வரவு சுகந்தான்
உறவு மணம்தான்
முடிவு ஜெயம்தான்.........
அது இன்றே தொடங்குது....
