அழகே அழகே
அழகின் அழகே நீயடி
உன் அருகே அருகே
அழகாய் தொலைந்தேன்
நானடி ஐந்தே நிமிடம் ஐந்தே
நிமிடம் தானடி என் ஆசை
நெஞ்சில் பற்றிக்கொண்டது தீயடி
O beauty, beauty, you are the very essence of beauty, girl.
Near you, near you, I got beautifully lost, girl.
Just five minutes, just five minutes it was, girl.
A fire caught inside my desiring heart, girl.
நான் என்ன என்னவோ
கனவுகள் கண்டேன் என்னை
உன்னிடம் தந்திட வந்தேன்
வந்த வேகத்தில் தயக்கம்
கொண்டேன் நீ தூண்டில் காரனை
தின்றிடும் மீனா வேட்டையாளனை
வென்றிடும் மானா உன்னை நேசித்த
காதலன் நானா
I saw so many different dreams.
I came to surrender myself to you.
But at the speed I came, I hesitated.
Are you a fish that swallows the fisherman?
Are you a deer that defeats the hunter?
வா கனியே முக்கனியே
தீயோடும் பனியே வாராமல் நீ
சென்றால் இவன் தனியே
தனியே வா கனியே முக்கனியே
தீயோடும் பனியே உனக்காக
உருண்டோடும் இவன்
காலம் இனியே
Come my sweet fruit, precious fruit, fire mixed with dew!
If you leave without coming, this man will be left all alone.
Come my sweet fruit, precious fruit, fire mixed with dew!
From now on, my time rolls on just for you.
அழகே அழகே
அழகின் அழகே நீயடி
உன் அருகே அருகே
அழகாய் தொலைந்தேன்
நானடி
O beauty, beauty, you are the very essence of beauty, girl.
Near you, near you, I got beautifully lost, girl.
சுடச்சுட நெருப்பென
பார்த்தாய் குளிர்ந்திட மறுபடி
பார்த்தாய் கண்கள் இரண்டும்
காதல் சொல்லும் இருந்தும்
நடித்தாய்
You looked like hot burning fire.
Then you looked again to cool things down.
Both your eyes speak of love.
Yet, you pretended otherwise.
அடிக்கடி முள்ளென
தைத்தாய் ஆயினும் பூவென
பூப்பாய் இதயக் கதவை இரக்கம்
கொண்டு எனக்காய் திறப்பாய்
Often you pricked me like a thorn.
Still, you blossomed like a flower.
Have mercy in your heart.
Open the door of your heart for me.
இந்த காதல் என்பது
ஒரு மழலை போன்றது அது
சிணுங்க சிணுங்கத்தான்
கவனம் பிறக்கும்
This thing called love...
Is just like an innocent infant.
Only when it whines and whimpers...
Attention is born towards it.
உன்னை கெஞ்சி
கேட்கிறேன் என்னை
கொஞ்ச கேட்கிறேன்
நீ கேட்க மறுக்கிறாய்
தொடர்ந்து நடிக்கிறாய்
உனக்கும் எனக்கும்
நடுவில் காதல் வலம்
வர
I beg you to listen, I ask you to embrace me.
But you refuse to listen.
You continue to act coy.
Between you and me...
For love to flourish all around...
கனியே முக்கனியே
தீயோடும் பனியே வாராமல் நீ
சென்றால் இவன் தனியே
தனியே வா கனியே முக்கனியே
தீயோடும் பனியே உனக்காக
உருண்டோடும் இவன்
காலம் இனியே
Sweet fruit, precious fruit, fire mixed with dew!
If you leave without coming, this man will be left all alone.
Come my sweet fruit, precious fruit, fire mixed with dew!
From now on, my time rolls on just for you.
பல பல கனவுகள்
இருக்கு அதை ஏன்
சொல்லணும் உனக்கு
மனசுவிட்டு பேசு நீயும்
நண்பனாய் எனக்கு
There are so many dreams in my heart.
Why should I share them with you?
Speak to me openly...
As a friend.
பார்த்ததும் பிடித்தது
உனக்கு பழகிட தோனனும்
எனக்கு கானல் நீரில் மீனை
தேடி அலைவது எதற்கு
You liked me the moment you saw me.
But I need time to get to know you.
Looking for a fish in a mirage...
Why wander around chasing that?
நீ கோயில்
தேரடி மரக்கிளையும்
நானடி என்னை கடந்து
போகயில் நொறுங்குது
நெஞ்சம்
You are like a grand temple chariot, girl.
I am merely a tree branch, girl.
When you pass by me...
My heart shatters into pieces.
நீ காதல் கஜினியா
பகல் கனவில் பவனியா
ஏன் துரத்தி வருகிறாய்
நெருங்க நினைகிறாய்
உனக்கும் எனக்கும் எதற்கு
காதல் வலம் வர
Are you a lover's Ghajini?
Are you a spirit roaming in a daydream?
Why do you keep chasing after me?
Why do you wish to come close?
Between you and me, why...
For love to circulate around?
