Are we strangers to each other?
You short-tempered girl,
Whatever happened, let it be, dear,
I am waiting for you.
அறிமுகம் இல்லையா
கோவகாரி நீ
ஆனது ஆச்சுமா
நா காத்துருக்கிறேனே
Express your love to me,
Slay me with your smile,
Stroke my hair gently,
I am begging you.
காதலா சொல்லுமா
சிரிச்சு கொல்லுமா
தலைமுடி கோதும்மா
நா கெஞ்சி கேட்கிறேனே
My precious darling,
I will make you sleep right next to my heart,
Like your mother who
Sings a gentle lullaby.
Locking my eyes with yours,
Rubbing my nose against yours,
Placing my lips near your ear,
I will whisper my love to you...
கண்ணனா கண்ணே உன்னை
நெஞ்சோரம் தூங்க வைப்பேன்
தாலாட்டு பாடும் உன்தன்
அன்னை போலே
கண்ணோடு கண்ணைக் கோர்த்து
மூக்கோடு மூக்கை உரசி
இதழை உன் காதில் வைத்து
காதல் சொல்வேன்
Are we strangers to each other?
You short-tempered girl,
Whatever happened, let it be, dear,
I am waiting for you.
அறிமுகம் இல்லையா

காதலா சொல்லுமா
சிரிச்சு கொல்லுமா
தலைமுடி கோதும்மா
நா கெஞ்சி கேட்கிறேனே
Where is love without a physical form?
Where is a rose without thorns?
All the time spent waiting
Is not necessary anymore.
ஊடல் இல்லா காதல் இங்கு
முள்ளும் இல்லா ரோஜா எங்கு
காத்திருக்கும் நேரமெல்லாம்
தேவையில்லை
I am living
This life right here
Only to live it together with you.
Girl, the dream you are having,
Tell me what it is, my precious gem.
நான் வாழும் இந்த வாழ்கை இங்கு
உன்னோடு சேர்ந்து வாழாதானே
உன்னில் நீ காணும் கனவை
கூறடி கண்மணியே
Come, my lovely young woman,
I wrote a song
Just for you, I did.
It is enough if you just smile,
You clever, mischievous girl,
Come, my queen, my very life...
வா பாவை
எழுத்தினேன் ஓர் பாடல்
உனக்கென நான்
நீ சிரிச்சா போதும்
நீ கேடி
வாடி என் ராசாத்தி என் உயிரே
Are we not acquainted?
You short-tempered girl,
Okay, what's done is done,
I am very sincerely
Waiting for you.
அறிமுகம் இல்லையா

What wrong is there in that, my girl?
If you feel the path ahead is difficult,
Just tell me to go, my girl.
ஓ சின்ன சின்ன அத்துமீறல் இருந்தால்
பாவம் என்னடி
பெண்ணே போகும் பாதை கஷ்டம்னு நினைச்சா
போனு சொல்லடி
Are we strangers to each other?
You short-tempered girl,
Whatever happened, let it be, dear,
I am waiting for you...
