ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம் ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம்

அலையா அலையா அலையாதே ஆசையே

அலையா மனதில் அலை பேசி ஓசையே ஹே

சில்லென்றே நெஞ்சில் காற்று வீசி செல்ல

துணையா துணையா துணையா நீ வேண்டுமே

(Humming)

Desire, please do not wander restless like waves

In my restless mind, you are the sound of a ringing phone

As a cool breeze blows gently inside my heart

I need you as my companion, my companion, my companion

நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள கள்ளம் இல்ல

மாடி மேல யாரும் இல்ல

வாக்கிங் போகும் சாக்கில் மெல்ல

முத்தம் கொடுத்தா குத்தம் இல்ல

There is no deceit in my heart

There is no one upstairs on the terrace

Gently under the pretext of going for a walk

It is no crime to share a kiss

உனக்குள்ளே எஹ் எஹ் எஹ் எஹ்

என்னையே தொ லச் சே னே

சர சர வென

சாரல் மழையிலதான் நனையிற சுகமே

Cascading rapidly like rain

It is pure bliss getting drenched in the drizzling rain

சிறு சிறு வண்டு ஒன்னு பற பறக்க

குறு குறு குறுவென துடி துடிக்க

Sometimes inside my eyes, oh my,

A tiny little bee flutters restlessly

My heart throbs rapidly with eager gazes

நீயே என் தோளில் சாஞ்சா

அய்யய்யோ இந்த

உலகமே கனவுல மெத மெதக்க

பனித்துளி பனித்துளி இனி இனி இனிக்க

When you lean on my shoulder, oh my, this

Entire world floats as if in a dream

Even dew drops taste sweeter and sweeter
