அடியே அழகே
என் அழகே அடியே
பேசாம நூறு நூறா கூறு போடாத
வலியே வலியே
என் ஒளியே ஒளியே
நா ஒன்னும் பூதமில்லை தூரம் ஓடாத
காதோட நீ எாிச்ச வாா்த்த வந்து கீறுதே
ஆனாலும் நீ தெளிச்ச காதல் உள்ள ஊறுதே
வாயாடிப் பேயா என் தூக்கம் தூக்கி போற
Hey beauty, my beauty, hey girl
Without speaking, do not chop me into a hundred pieces
Oh pain, oh pain, my light, my light
I am not a monster, do not run far away
The word you threw near my ear comes and scratches me
Yet, the love you sprinkled seeps deep inside
You chatterbox ghost, you carry away my sleep completely
அடியே அழகே
என் அழகே அடியே
பேசாம நூறு நூறா கூறு போடாத
வலியே வலியே
என் ஒளியே ஒளியே
நா ஒன்னும் பூதமில்லை தூரம் ஓடாத
: Hey beauty, my beauty, hey girl
Without speaking, do not chop me into a hundred pieces
Oh pain, oh pain, my light, my light
I am not a monster, do not run far away
போனா போறா தானா வருவா
மெதப்புல திாிஞ்சேன்
வீராப்பெல்லாம் வீணாப் போச்சு
பொசுக்குன்னு உடைஞ்சேன்
உன் சோகப்பாா்வ உரசுது மேல
சிாிக்கிற ஓச சாிக்குது ஆள
I roamed with pride thinking if she leaves she will return on her own
All my bravado went in vain, I broke instantly
Your sad look rubs against me
The sound of your laugh brings a person down
தீத்தூவி ஏய் தீத்தூவி போனா
அவ வேணும் நானும் வாழ
Scattering fire... oh, she left after scattering fire
I need her for me to live
ஏனோ உன்னப் பாத்தா
உள்ள சுருக்குன்னு வருது
ஆனா கிட்ட நீயா வந்தா
மனசு அங்க விழுது
Don't know why, looking at you causes a sharp sting inside
But if you come close, my heart drops right here
எதுக்கிந்த கோபம் நடிச்சது போதும்
மறச்சு நீ பாத்தும் வெளுக்குது சாயம்
Why this anger? Enough of acting
Even if you look secretively, your true colors show through
ஹேய் நேத்தே நான் தோத்தேன்
அட இதுதானா உன் வேகம்
My beauty, hey girl (Female: Hey girl)
அடியே அழகே
அழகே
என் அழகே அடியே
அடியே
Without speaking, do not chop me into a hundred pieces
பேசாம நூறு நூறா கூறு போடாத
Oh pain, oh pain (Female: Oh pain)
வலியே வலியே
வலியே
என் ஒளியே ஒளியே
ஒலியே
My light, my light (Female: My light)
நா ஒன்னும் பூதமில்லை தூரம் ஓடாத
காதோட நீ எாிச்ச வாா்த்த வந்து கீறுதே
ஆனாலும் நீ தெளிச்ச காதல் உள்ள ஊறுதே
வாயாடிப் பேயா என் தூக்கம் தூக்கி போற
I am not a monster, do not run far away
The word you threw near my ear comes and scratches me
Yet, the love you sprinkled seeps deep inside
You chatterbox ghost, you carry away my sleep completely
Being in such a place with the one your heart desires...
