How lonely... how treacherous...

NewYork Nagaram urangum neram thanimai adarnthathu
Paniyum Padarthathu..Kappal irangiye kaatrum karayil nadanthathu
Naangu kannadi suvarkalukule naanum meluguvarthy
Thanimai Thanimayo..Thanimai Thanimayo..kodumai kodumaiyo

ohhh.ohh..ohoh..oho..ohh

pechellam thaalatu pola.. ennai uranga vaika nee illai..
dinamum oru muttham thanthu kaalai coffee koduka nee illai..
Vizhyil vizhum thoosi thannai.. eduka neeingu illai
manathil ezhum kuzhappam thannai theerka neeingu illaiii.
Naan inge neeyum ange..intha thanimai nimishangal varusham aanatheno
Vaan inge neelam ange intha uvamaiku iruvarum vizhakamanthu eno..

The translation is not as flowery and as romantic as the original is. The original is one of the best songs I have heard recently.

In the moment when New York city went to sleep, loneliness caught me.. And snow spread all over. (It was so lonely that) Even the breeze got down from the ship and started walking on shores! Inside the four glass walls, me and a candlelight

How lonely... how treacherous...

Oh beloved, you are not here to put me to sleep with the lullaby talk of yours. You are not here to kiss me in moonlight and give me coffee in the morning. You are not here to blow my eyes when dirt falls into my eyes. You are not here to clear the confusions of my heart. I'm here & you are there, In this loneliness, minutes have become years!. The sky is here & the color blue is there, Why did we become an example to that simile?!
