ஆலங்காட்டுல மேட்டுல
ஆத்தி மனசோ பாட்டுல
In the banyan forest and on the elevated mounds,
Aathi's heart is lost in melody.
ஆலங்காட்டுல மேட்டுல
ஆத்தி மனசோ பாட்டுல
ஆச கூடித்தான் போகல
ஆனா இதயம் கேக்கல
In the banyan forest and on the elevated mounds,
Aathi's heart is lost in melody.
Desire didn't just grow wild,
Yet the heart refuses to listen.
உப்பு கல்ல போல
கரையுறேன் நானு
ஊசி மழையே நீதான்டா
Like a lump of salt,
I am dissolving away.
You are like needle-sharp drizzle, my dear!
உண்டிவில்லை போல
இழுக்குற நீயும்
நீண்ட தூரம் வருவேண்டா
Like a pulled slingshot,
You pull me toward you.
I will travel long distances for you.
சந்திரன போல
உன்ன சுத்தி தானே
நானும் இருப்பேன்டா
கூட இருப்பேன்டா
Like the moon orbiting,
Around you alone,
I too will revolve.
I will stay right beside you.
கலங்கர வெளிச்சத் பாத்த
ஈசல் போல ஆனேன்டா
உதிரத்த ஒரயத்தான் வச்சு
உடுப்பா நானும் தருவேண்டா
Looking at the light from a lighthouse,
I became like a drawn winged termite.
Using thousands of shed leaves,
I will make a dress and give it to you.
செங்காட்டுச்சூள ஓரத்துல
செந்தூரப்பூ ஆனேன்
அந்த அடிவானம் செவக்கிற நேரம்
பிரிச்ச கயிறானேன்
On the edges surrounding the red forest,
I turned into a vibrant red flower.
At the hour when that distant horizon turns red,
I became like an untwined rope.
சிரிச்சிடுவேன் கொழஞ்சிறேன்
தட்டான போலத்தான்
உன்ன சுத்தி வருவேன்
I will laugh and lose myself,
Just like a dragonfly,
I will circle around you.
ஆலங்காட்டுல மேட்டுல
ஆத்தி மனசோ பாட்டுல
ஆச கூடித்தான் போகல
ஆனா இதயம் கேக்கல
In the banyan forest and on the elevated mounds,
Aathi's heart is lost in melody.
Desire didn't just grow wild,
Yet the heart refuses to listen.
களிமண்ணா இருக்கிற மனச
மருடமா தாரேன்டா
கனமழ விழுவதப்போல
கண்ணுமயில கவுந்தேண்டா
A heart that is like soft clay,
I will fashion into a crown and offer to you.
Like heavy rain pouring down,
I tumbled right into your eyes.
செஞ்சாந்து பொட்டு வைக்கையில
நெஞ்சோர நெனப்பானேன்
தினம் இதயத்தில இருக்கதா நானும்
உணரும் உசுரானேன்
While applying the red sandalwood dot,
I became a thought overflowing in your heart.
Though I wasn't in your heart every day,
I became the vital soul you feel.
நெளிஞ்சுடுறேன் பணிஞ்சிடுறேன்
நேசத்த காத்துதான் உன்னோடு வாழுவேன்
I bend and yield with grace,
Guarding this love,
I will live my life with you.
ஆலங்காட்டுல மேட்டுல
ஆத்தி மனசோ பாட்டுல
ஆச கூடித்தான் போகல
ஆனா இதயம் கேக்கல
In the banyan forest and on the elevated mounds,
Aathi's heart is lost in melody.
Desire didn't just grow wild,
Yet the heart refuses to listen.
