அடியே நேற்று பிறந்தவள் நீயே
நேரம் தெரிந்து வந்தாயே
கண்ணன் பார்த்த ராதை போல
வண்ணம் கொண்டு வந்தாய் நீயே
Hey girl, you were born just yesterday
You came knowing the right time
Like Radha whom Krishna looked at
You arrived bringing colorful beauty
அடியே நேற்று பிறந்தவள் நீயே
நேரம் தெரிந்து வந்தாயே
கண்ணன் பார்த்த ராதை போல
வண்ணம் கொண்டு வந்தாய் நீயே
Hey girl, you were born just yesterday
You came knowing the right time
Like Radha whom Krishna looked at
You arrived bringing colorful beauty
பிறந்தேன் பிறந்தேன்
நான் உனக்காக
வளர்ந்தேன் வளர்ந்தேன்
சிலை வடிவாக
மலர்ந்தேன் மலர்ந்தேன்
தங்க மலராக
இணைந்தேன் கலந்தேன்
உந்தன் துணையாக
ஆஹா ஆஅ....ஆ....ஆஹா.....
I was born, I was born
Just for you
I grew, I grew
Like the shape of a sculpted statue
I bloomed, I bloomed
Like a golden flower
I joined and blended
As your companion
Aaha aaa… aa… aahaa….
அடடா நேற்று பிறந்தவள் நானே
நேரம் தெரிந்து வந்தேனே
கண்ணன் பார்த்த ராதை போல
வண்ணம் கொண்டு வந்தேன் நானே
Oh my, I am the girl born yesterday
I came knowing the right time
Like Radha whom Krishna looked at
I arrived bringing colorful beauty
ஆணும் பெண்ணும் பிறந்தபோது
ஆசை நெஞ்சம் வந்ததில்லை
காண காண பேச பேச
காதல் தந்தான் கடவுள் வாழ்க
When man and woman were born
The desiring heart did not exist right away
As we see and talk constantly
God gave us love, long live God
உள்ளம் குளிர மேனி துடிக்க
ஊறும் ஆசை வெள்ளம் பெருக
கள்வர்போலே மெளனமாக
கலந்து காணும் காதல் வாழ்க
As the heart cools and the body shivers with passion
As the surging flood of desire swells
Silently like thieves
Long live the love that merges and beholds
அடியே நேற்று பிறந்தவள் நீயே
நேரம் தெரிந்து வந்தாயே
Hey girl, you were born just yesterday
You came knowing the right time
கண்ணன் பார்த்த ராதை போல
வண்ணம் கொண்டு வந்தேன் நானே
Like Radha whom Krishna looked at
I arrived bringing colorful beauty
வாடை காற்றில் வெளியில் நின்றால்
போர்வை போலே தழுவிக்கொண்டு
வாடை காற்றில் வெளியில் நின்றால்
போர்வை போலே தழுவிக்கொண்டு
மார்பின் மீது கண்கள் மூடி
மயக்கம் கொள்ளும் உறவு வாழ்க
If standing outside in the chilly north wind
Embracing like a warm blanket
If standing outside in the chilly north wind
Embracing like a warm blanket
Closing eyes upon the chest
Long live the relationship that swoons in bliss
என்ன ராதா என்ன தந்தாய்
என்ன நாணம் போதும் போதும்
என்ன ராதா என்ன தந்தாய்
என்ன நாணம் போதும் போதும்
என்று கோடி வார்த்தை பேசும்
இன்பமான இரவு வாழ்க
What Radha? What Krishna?
What shyness? Enough, enough!
What Radha? What Krishna?
What shyness? Enough, enough!
Thus speaking a million silent words
Long live the blissful night
அடியே நேற்று பிறந்தவள் நீயே
நேரம் தெரிந்து வந்தாயே
Hey girl, you were born just yesterday
You came knowing the right time
கண்ணன் பார்த்த ராதை போல
வண்ணம் கொண்டு வந்தேன் நானே
