நேசன் தன்னையே கண்ணாலே
காணும் முன்னால் நீயே
நிலையே கொள்ளாமல் துள்ளுகின்றாயே
நேசன் தன்னையே கண்ணாலே
காணும் முன்னால் நீயே
நிலையே கொள்ளாமல் துள்ளுகின்றாயே
நேரில் கண்டால் ஓடுகின்றாயே
நேரில் கண்டால் ஓடுகின்றாயே
வெட்கத்தாலே நிலைமாறித்
தவித்திடவும் செய்கிறாய் வீணிலே
Even before seeing my lover
With your own eyes, you
Are leaping without restraint
Even before seeing my lover
With your own eyes, you
Are leaping without restraint
Yet when you see him in person, you hide in mock resentment
Yet when you see him in person, you hide in mock resentment
Overwhelmed by shyness, your composure changes
And you needlessly suffer in agony
ஆசை நெஞ்சமே பொறுப்பாய்
இன்னும் கொஞ்சமே
அன்பர் வந்திடுவார் இன்பம் மிஞ்சுமே...
ஆசை நெஞ்சமே.....
Oh yearning heart, be patient

My beloved will arrive, and joy will overflow
Oh yearning heart...
உடல் நோயும் தீரவே அவர்க்கு
உண்டு இங்கே மருந்து
உனது நோய் தீர அவர்தான் மருந்து
உடல் நோயும் தீரவே அவர்க்கு
உண்டு இங்கே மருந்து
உனது நோய் தீர அவர்தான் மருந்து
உறவே கொள்ளும் யோகம் வந்தாலே
உறவே கொள்ளும் யோகம் வந்தாலே
உன்னைப்போலே பெரும் பாக்கியம்
உடையோரே இல்லையே வாழ்விலே....
To cure his physical ailment
There is medicine right here
But to cure your ailment, he himself is the medicine
To cure his physical ailment
There is medicine right here
But to cure your ailment, he himself is the medicine
If the good fortune of uniting in love arrives
If the good fortune of uniting in love arrives
A great blessing like yours
No one else will possess in life
ஆசை நெஞ்சமே பொறுப்பாய்
இன்னும் கொஞ்சமே
அன்பர் வந்திடுவார் இன்பம் மிஞ்சுமே...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses the sweet anticipation and emotional restlessness of a heroine awaiting her beloved. Addressing her own heart as a companion, she counsels it to remain patient for just a little while longer, promising that immense happiness will overflow once he arrives. She playfully points out the paradox of her feelings: before her lover arrives, her heart leaps with unbridled joy, yet when he appears right before her eyes, shyness takes over, causing her to hide and suffer needlessly in sweet agony. She contrasts physical illness with the affliction of love, noting that while conventional medicine can heal physical body ailments, her beloved himself is the sole cure for her heart's longing. She concludes that if she achieves the divine fortune of true union with him, no one in the world will be more blessed than her. The lyrics beautifully evoke classical Sangam poetic themes of love-longing and inner dialogue.
