எனக்கு ஒரு தடவ தோனுச்சு
எப்போ
I felt it once.
Male: When?
அதுவா அதுவா
நெடுவாசல் கூத்துல
மனச பறிச்ச
மயில் தோகை பேச்சுல
எதுக்கும் துணிஞ்சு
அது போற போக்குல
நடத்தும் உனைப்போல்
ஒரு ஆளை பாக்கல
Was it that... was it that?
During the street performance at the central courtyard,
You stole my heart,
With speech as delicate as a peacock's feather.
Daring to face anything,
In its casual flow,
A person like you,
I have never seen such a deep soul.
எனக்கு ஒரு தடவ தோனுச்சு
எப்போ
I felt it once as well.
Female: When?
அதுவா அதுவா
ஒரு நாளு ரோட்டுல
மறியல் முடிஞ்சு
உன்ன நானும் வீட்டுல
விடவும் இரண்டு
விழியோட வீச்சுல
எதையோ தொலைச்சேன்
தெரியாம ஆம்பள
Was it that... was it that?
On the road one day,
After the road-block protest ended,
When I left you at home,
And went away, with the glance
Of your two eyes,
I lost something,
Unknowingly, my man.
எங்கிருந்து வந்ததோ
காதல் தோழரே
சொல்ல இங்கு யாரும் இல்லை
உண்மை தோழரே
இருவர் :
உள்ளிருந்து காதல் வந்து
முகத்தை காட்டுதோ
நம்மை ஒன்று சேர்ந்து
வாழ சொல்லி மலரை நீட்டுதோ
Where did it come from,
Oh friend, this love?
Male: There is no one here to explain,
Oh true companion.
Both: Love emerges from within
And reveals its face.
Asking us to unite and live,
It extends a flower to us.
விசில் :
........................................
As you speak of something,
Listening to it changes my very stride.
A sweet joy unseen by the mind,
Naturally seeps into my soul.
எதையோ நீ பேச
நான் அதை கேட்க நடையே மாறிடுதே
மனமே காணா சுகம்
நீயாக உசிரே ஊறிடுதே
Every day, your memory
Sprinkles like a gentle drizzle.
Even the sunlight speaks, claiming it is you...
நாளும் உன் ஞாபகம்
தூறலை தூவுதே
வெயிலும் நீயென
கதை பேசுதே.....ஹே
On all the radio stations,
I keep hearing your voice.
Every single moment,
It yearns to join you.
வானொலி யாவிலும்
உன் குரல் கேட்குதே
ஒவ்வொரு நேரமும்
உன்னை சேர ஏங்கும்
Slowly, slowly,
You entered into my breath.
After entering,
You cured my feverish state.
Making every moment beautiful,
Swimming across my soul,
You who swim like that,
I read about you in a song.
மெதுவா மெதுவா
நுழைஞ்சாயே மூச்சில
நுழைஞ்ச பிறகு
கொறைச்சாயே காயச்சல
பொழுது அழகா
உயிர் மேல நீச்சல
அடிக்கும் உன நான்
படிச்சேனே பாட்டுல
Where did it come from,
Oh friend, this love?
Female: There is no one here to explain,
Oh true companion.
Both: Love emerges from within
And reveals its face.
Asking us to unite and live,
It extends a flower to us.
எங்கிருந்து வந்ததோ
காதல் தோழரே
சொல்ல இங்கு யாரும் இல்லை
உண்மை தோழரே
இருவர் :
உள்ளிருந்து காதல் வந்து
முகத்தை காட்டுதோ
நம்மை ஒன்று சேர்ந்து
வாழ சொல்லி மலரை நீட்டுதோ
