பூமி நல்லா சுத்துதான்னு
சுத்தி சுத்தி பார்த்தேனே
சாமியத்தான் நெசமா என்று
கிள்ளி கிள்ளி கேட்டேனே
To see if the Earth is spinning well,
I looked around and around.
Asking God if this is truly real,
I pinched myself again and again to ask.
நீ கண் அடிச்சா போதும்
உன் பின்னால் வாரேன்டி
மின்சாரம் தொட்டது போல
தள்ளாடி விழுந்தேன்டி
Just a wink of your eye is enough,
I will follow right behind you, my girl.
Like being struck by electricity,
I stumbled and fell, my girl.
சுத்துதா சுத்துதா
பூமி சுத்துதா சுத்துதா
சுத்துதா சுத்துதா
பூமி சுத்துதா சுத்துதா
Is it spinning, spinning?
Is the Earth spinning, spinning?
Is it spinning, spinning?
Is the Earth spinning, spinning?
அன்னைக்கு ஒரு பேச்சு
இன்னைக்கு ஒரு பேச்சு
இல்ல பெண்ணே நீதான்டி மூச்சு
முன்னால நான் போனேன்
பின்னால் நீ வந்த
ஆனா எனக்குள்ள தானா நீ வந்த
One word that day, another word today,
No girl, you are my very breath!
Female: I walked in front,
You came behind me,
But you automatically entered within me.
உன்னாலதானடி என் வாழ்வு தேனடி
பூ பூவா பூத்து இங்கு குலுங்குதடி
Because of you, my girl, my life is sweet like honey,
It blossoms like flowers and sways with joy.
சுத்துதா சுத்துதா
பூமி சுத்துதா சுத்துதா
சுத்துதா சுத்துதா
பூமி சுத்துதா சுத்துதா
Is it spinning, spinning?
Is the Earth spinning, spinning?
Is it spinning, spinning?
Is the Earth spinning, spinning?
பூமி நல்லா சுத்துதான்னு
சுத்து சுத்து பார்த்தேனே
சாமியத்தான் நெசமா என்று
கிள்ளி கிள்ளி கேட்டேனே
To see if the Earth is spinning well,
I looked around and around.
Asking God if this is truly real,
I pinched myself again and again to ask.
ஹே....இதயத்து மேல
இரும்படிக்கும் ஓசை
கேட்டேன் போடா காதல் இதுதாண்டா
Hey, upon my heart,
A heavy iron-hammering sound,
I heard; go on man, this is love!
ஹே....பொது இடத்தில் கூட
உன் மொகத்த பாத்தா
மயங்கி போனேன் போடி சரிதான்டி
Hey, even in a public place,
When I saw your face,
I fainted; go away girl, it is alright.
எதிரே நீ வந்தாலே
ஓடாது கடிகாரம்
புரியாத மேகம் ஒன்று தூவுதடா
If you come in front of me,
The clock refuses to run.
A mysterious cloud drizzles over me, man.
