ஆசை காதல்
ஆருயிரே அனாதை
போல ஆகுவதோ
ஆசை காதல் ஆருயிரே
அனாதை போல ஆகுவதோ
My desired love, my precious life,
Will it become like an orphan?
My desired love, my precious life,
Will it become like an orphan?
காதல் கொண்டு
அழுகிறேன் கண்ணின்
நீரில் எரிகிறேன் வாயில்லாத
குழந்தைபோல் வார்த்தையின்றி
கரைகிறேன்
Filled with love, I weep,
I burn in the tears of my eyes,
Like a speechless infant,
I melt away without words...
ஓ காற்றைப் போல
காதல் ரெண்டும் தேசம்
தாண்டி வீசும் பெண்ணின்
காயம் பேசும்
Ooo...
Like the wind, both our loves
Will blow across borders,
The woman's wounds will speak.
ஆசை காதல்
ஆருயிரே அனாதை
போல ஆகுவதோ
ஆசை காதல் ஆருயிரே
அனாதை போல ஆகுவதோ
My desired love, my precious life,
Will it become like an orphan?
My desired love, my precious life,
Will it become like an orphan?
காதல் என்னும்
கல் வீசி பேதை நெஞ்சை
உடைத்தாய் என் மனதில்
சொல்லாமல் எல்லைமீறி
நுழைந்தாய்
Throwing a stone called love,
You broke this innocent heart,
Without telling my heart,
You crossed the border and entered,
என் உயிரே
பிாியாதே என்ன
செய்வாள் சிறுமி
றெக்கை உண்டு
பறக்காது சின்னஞ்சிறு
குருவி
My dear life, do not separate,
What can a little girl do?
It has wings, but cannot fly,
This tiny little bird,
என்னவனே
என்னவனே உனது
உடலில் எனது குருதி
வழியுதே
Oh my man, my beloved,
On your body, my
Blood is flowing,
ஆசை காதல்
ஆருயிரே அனாதை
போல ஆகுவதோ
My desired love, my precious life,
Will it become like an orphan?
ஓடிவந்து வாய்
பேச ஊமை மனம் துடிக்க
வேதனையை சொல்லாமல்
வேலிகளும் தடுக்க
Running up to speak out loud,
While the mute heart throbs,
Without revealing the pain,
Even boundaries block and prevent,
ரத்தமெல்லாம்
ஆறாகி செம்மண்ணிலே
கலக்க பொத்திவைத்த
புது நேசம் சத்தமிட்டு வெடிக்க
All the blood turning into a river,
Mixing into the red soil,
The newly cherished love kept hidden,
Explodes loudly,
உன்னுடைய
காயங்களில் எனது
விழிகள் அழுத்த
துளிகள் மருந்தடா
குழு :
மருந்தடா மருந்தடா
Upon your wounds,
The tears shed by my eyes,
Are the medicine, my dear,
Chorus: Medicine, my dear... medicine, my dear
