ஆத்தாடி மனசுதான்
ரெக்ககட்டி பறக்குதே
ஆனாலும் வயசுதான்
கிட்ட வர தயங்குதே
Oh my, the heart
Grows wings and flies!
Yet my age
Hesitates to come close.
அக்கம் பக்கம் பாத்து பாத்து
ஆசையாக வீசும் காத்து
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள எதோ பேசுதே
Looking around
Here and there,
The wind blows lovingly
And speaks something inside my heart...
அடடா இந்த மனசுதான்
சுத்தி சுத்தி உன்ன தேடுதே
அழகா இந்த கொலுசுதான்
தத்தி தத்தி உன் பெயர் சொல்லுதே
Oh my, this heart
Searches for you all around.
Beautifully, these anklets
Tiptoe around and speak your name.
ஆத்தாடி மனசுதான்
ரெக்ககட்டி பறக்குதே
ஆனாலும் வயசுதான்
கிட்ட வர தயங்குதே
Oh my, the heart
Grows wings and flies!
Yet my age
Hesitates to come close.
கிட்ட வந்து நீயும் பேசும் போது
கிட்ட தட்ட கண்ணு வேர்த்து போகும்
மூச்சே…. காய்ச்சலா மாறும்..
When you come near
And talk to me,
My eyes almost break into a sweat,
And my breath turns into a fever.
விட்டு விட்டு உன்ன பாக்கும் போது
வெட்டி வெட்டி மின்னல் ஒன்னு மோதும்
மனசே… மார்கழி மாசம்..
Intermittently,
When I look at you,
A flash of lightning strikes again and again.
My heart turns into the cool month of Margazhi,
அருகில் உந்தன் வாசம்
இந்த காத்தில் வீசுது
விழி தெருவில் போகும் உந்தன்
உருவம் தேடுது
Your fragrance nearby
Blows through this air.
My eyes search for your figure
Walking along the street.
பாவி நெஞ்ச என்ன செஞ்ச
உந்தன் பேர சொல்லி கொஞ்ச
என்ன கொன்னாலும் அப்போதும்
உன் பேர சொல்வேனடா
Oh sinful heart, what did you do to me?
To fondle you while uttering your name,
Even if you kill me, even then
I will call out your name!
ஒன்ன ரெண்டா என்ன
நானும் சொல்ல
ஓராயிரம் ஆச வச்சேன் உள்ள
பேச… தைரியம் இல்ல…
Is it just one or two things
For me to tell?
I have kept a thousand desires inside,
But lack the courage to speak.
உள்ள ஒரு வார்த்த
வந்து துள்ள
உள்ளம் என்ன முட்டி முட்டி தள்ள
இருந்தும்… வெட்கத்தில் செல்ல…
Aha... a word inside
Leaps to come out,
My heart pushes and nudges me,
Yet I retreat in shyness.
காலம் யாவும் நாளும்
உன்ன பார்த்தே வாழனும்
உயிர் போகும் நேரம் உந்தன்
மடியில் சாய்ந்தே சாகனும்
For all time and every day,
I want to live just looking at you.
When it is time for life to leave,
I want to die leaning on your lap.
உன்ன தவிர என்ன வேணும்
வேற என்ன கேட்க தோணும்
நெஞ்சம் உன்னோட வாழாம
மண்ணோடு சாயாதடா...
What else do I need besides you?
What else would I even ask for?
Without living with you, my heart
Will not rest in the earth... ah...
Aathadi manasudhaan
Oh my, the heart
Rekkakatti parakuthae
Grows wings and flies!
Aanalum vayasudhaan
Yet my age
Kitta vara thayanguthae
Hesitates to come close.
Akkam pakkam
Looking around
Paarthu paarthu
Here and there,
Aasaiyaaga veesum kaathu
The wind blows lovingly
Nenjukulla yedho pesuthae…ae…
And speaks something inside my heart...
Adada indha manasudhan
Oh my, this heart
Suthi suthi unna theduthae
Searches for you all around.
Azhaga indha kolusudhan
Beautifully, these anklets
Thathi thathi un peyar solludhae
Tiptoe around and speak your name.
Aathadi manasudhaan
Oh my, the heart
Rekkakatti parakuthae
Grows wings and flies!
Aanalum vayasudhaan
Yet my age
Kitta vara thayanguthae
Hesitates to come close.
Kitta vandhu neeyum
When you come near
Pesum podhu
And talk to me,
Kitta thatta kannu verthu pogum
My eyes almost break into a sweat,
Moochae kaaichalaa maarum
And my breath turns into a fever.
Vittu vittu unna
Intermittently,
Paarkum podhu
When I look at you,
Vetti vetti minnal onnu modhum
A flash of lightning strikes again and again.
Manasae maargazhi maasam
My heart turns into the cool month of Margazhi,
Arugil undhan vaasam
Your fragrance nearby
Intha kaathil veesuthu
Blows through this air.
Vizhi theruvil pogum undhan
My eyes search for your figure
Uruvam theduthu
Walking along the street.
Paavi nenja enna senja
Oh sinful heart, what did you do to me?
Uunthan pera solli konja
To fondle you while uttering your name,
Enna konnaalum appodhum
Even if you kill me, even then
Un pera solvenadaa
I will call out your name!
Onna renda enna
Is it just one or two things
Naanum solla
For me to tell?
Oraayiram aasa vachen ulla
I have kept a thousand desires inside,
Pesa dhairiyam illa
But lack the courage to speak.
Haahan..ulla oru vartha
Aha... a word inside
Vandhu thulla
Leaps to come out,
Ullam enna mutti mutti thalla
My heart pushes and nudges me,
Irundhum vetkathil sella
Yet I retreat in shyness.
Kaalam yaavum naalum
For all time and every day,
Unna paarthae vazhanum
I want to live just looking at you.
Uyir pogum neram undhan
When it is time for life to leave,
Madiyil saaindhae saaganaum
I want to die leaning on your lap.
Unna thavira enna venum
What else do I need besides you?
Vera enna ketka thonum
What else would I even ask for?
Nenjam unnoda vazhaama
Without living with you, my heart
Mannodu saayaadhada …aaa….
Will not rest in the earth... ah...
