என்ன இது புதிதாய்
புதிதாய் புதிதாய்
எனக்குள் ஏதோ
புதிராய் புதிராய்
இரண்டாம் மூச்சு காற்று
உள்ளே அடிக்குதே
What is this, something new?
Brand new, brand new!
Something inside me...
Like a riddle, like a riddle!
A second breath of air
Is blowing inside me.
இது என்ன அடடா
மெதுவாய் மெதுவாய்
ஒன்றும் புரியாமல்
அதுவாய் அதுவாய்
இருதயம் மேலே மேலே
எட்டி பார்க்குதே
Oh my, what is this?
Slowly, slowly...
Without understanding anything,
On its own, on its own,
The heart goes higher and higher
Peeking out!
எனக்குள்ளே என்ன ஆச்சு அடிக்கடி
மெதக்குது மெதக்குது நெஞ்சம்
எடையில்லா கண்ணாடி நிலவொன்று அறிமுகமானதே
What frequently happens inside me?
My heart floats and floats!
A weightless mirror-like moon was introduced to me.
பேபி கேர்ள் உன்னை பார்க்கையிலே
ஏதோ தயக்கமும் மயக்கமும் தோன்றிடுதே
பேபி கேர்ள் உன்னை நினைக்கையிலே
மனம் குழிக்குள்ளே பந்து போல குதிக்கிறதே
Baby girl, when I look at you,
A kind of hesitation and intoxication arises.
Baby girl, when I think of you,
My mind bounces like a ball inside a pit.
ஏய் எம்மா குணவதியே
என் மனது இப்போ உனது
நான் காட்டுற காதலை விட
அகல அண்டம் சின்னது
என் பஞ்சானை உறக்கும் நேரத்தை
உன் நெனப்பு தாண்டி தீண்டுது
இனிமே எல்லாமே இவதான்
இது எனக்குள்ளே நான் சொன்னது
Hey, lady of good virtues!
My heart is now yours.
Compared to the love I show,
The entire universe is small.
During the time I sleep on my bed,
Thoughts of you cross over and touch me.
From now on, she is everything to me,
This is what I told myself inside.
ஏய் செல்லம் பேபி டார்லிங்
வாங்கிட்டன் ரிங்கு பேங்கிள் இயரிங்
வா என் டூ வீலர்ல போயிட்டு வர்லாம்
டார்ஜ்லிங் வரைக்கும் டூரு
நீ இல்லாத வாழ்க்க போரிங்
கொஞ்சம் லவ்வ பண்ணு ஷேரிங்
இனி என் பக்கத்தில நீ வேணும்
தெனம் நைட்ல இருந்து மார்னிங்
Hey my dear baby darling,
I have bought rings, bangles, and earrings!
Come, let us go for a ride on my two-wheeler,
On a tour all the way to Darjeeling!
Life without you is boring,
Share a little love with me.
From now on, I need you by my side,
Every day, from night till morning.
பேரழகாய் உலகம் மாறுதே
பெண் விழியின் வரிகள் மாற்றுதே
தோள் அருகே வீசும்
ரோஜா வாசம் பேசுதே
The world changes into extreme beauty,
Changed by the lines of the girl's eyes.
Blowing near my shoulders,
The fragrance of the rose speaks.
சில தனிமை கவிதை ஆகுதே
கைவிரல்கள் கையை தேடுதே
அந்த பறவை என் மேல்
சிறகை சிந்தி பறக்குதே
Some moments of solitude become poetry.
Fingers search for the hand.
That bird over me
Sheding its wings, flies away.
ஏய் ரொம்ப அண்மையில்
ஒரு பெண்மையில்
என்னை அசைத்தது அசைத்தது லேசாக
அந்த தன்மையில்
நான் உண்மையில் தடுமாறுகிறேன்
Hey, very recently,
In a woman's presence,
It gently shook me and shook me.
In that state of mind,
I am truly stumbling.
என்ன பேசலாம் என்ன கேட்கலாம்
என்று கேள்விகள் துரத்துது நெஞ்சத்தை
அட மீண்டுமாய் இது வேண்டுமா
மனம் தாங்குமா
What to talk, what to ask?
Such questions chase my heart!
Oh, do I need this again?
Can my heart bear it?
பேபி கேர்ள் உன்னை பார்க்கையிலே
ஏதோ தயக்கமும் மயக்கமும் தோன்றிடுதே
பேபி கேர்ள் உன்னை நினைக்கையிலே
மனம் குழிக்குள்ளே பந்து போல குதிக்கிறதே
Baby girl, when I look at you,
A kind of hesitation and intoxication arises.
Baby girl, when I think of you,
My mind bounces like a ball inside a pit.
