பாடல் ஆசிரியர்கள் : ஹேமந்த் பிரகாஷ் மற்றும் ஜெனிபர் ராஜசேகர்
My darling parrot, come into my hands
Hey prince's daughter, hey prince's daughter
Oh my darling, oh my darling
I survived just to see you
செல்லக்கிளியே கை சேருமடி....
ஹே.... ராசா மக ஹே.... ராசா மக
என் செல்லமே ஓ என் செல்லமே
உனை காணவே உயிர் தாங்கினேன்
It became fate
It became a mistake
Within the mind
It is playing games
விதி ஆனதே
பிழை ஆனதே
மனதோடு தான்
விளையாடுதே
Even though I am near you
Unable to get close to you
I struggle without a way
My dear eye
உன் அருகில் நான் இருந்தும்
உன்னை நெருங்க முடியாமல்
வழி இன்றி தவிக்கின்றேன்
நான் கண்ணே
Even after receiving the boon of seeing you
Unable to be together with you
I become a tree swaying in the wind
உன்னை காணும் வரம் கிடைத்தும்
உடன் சேர முடியாமல்
காற்றாடும் மரமாகிறேன்
Even though I am near you
Unable to get close to you
I struggle without a way
My dear eye
உன் அருகில் நான் இருந்தும்
உன்னை நெருங்க முடியாமல்
வழி இன்றி தவிக்கின்றேன்
நான் கண்ணே
Even after receiving the boon of seeing you
Unable to be together with you
I become a tree swaying in the wind...
உன்னை காணும் வரம் கிடைத்தும்
உடன் சேர முடியாமல்
காற்றாடும் மரமாகிறேன்
My darling parrot, the path I travel
Goes on without you
My green parrot, the path I go
Goes on without any resolution
என் செல்ல கிளி நான் செல்லும் வழி
நீ இல்லாமலே போகுதே
ஏன் பாசக்கிளி நான் போகும் வழி
தீர்வு இல்லாமல் போகுதே
Yella yelley yella yelley
Yaelaela yaelaela yella yelley
Male: Prince's daughter
Chorus: Yella yelley yella yelley
Is there no limit, no limit, yella yelley
Yella yelley yella yelley
Yaelaela yaelaela yella yelley
Male: Prince's daughter
ஏலா எலே ஏலா எலே
ஏலேலே ஏலேலே ஏலா எலே
ஆண் : ராசா மக
Just a few words would be enough
Half of the sorrow would vanish
Yet no one speaks
ஏலா எலே ஏலா எலே
ஏலேலே ஏலேலே எலே
ஏலா எலே ஏலா எலே
ஏலேலே ஏலேலே ஏலா எலே
ஆண் : ராசா மக
ஓஹ் ஓஹ் ஓஹ் ஓஹ் ஓஹோஹ்
Despite being nearby
Two different poles
Why this sad story?
வார்த்தைகள் போதுமே
பாதி துன்பம் போகுமே
ஆயினும் யாருமே பேசவில்லையே
Without showing the pain of the mind outside
A state of living without relief
அருகில் இருந்தும்
இருவேறு துருவம்
ஏன் இந்த சோகக் கதை
With an unsprouted seed
Rainwater bonding
Can a plant grow in the sand?
Right or wrong, who are we now?
Will silences become the answer?
மனதின் வலி வெளிகாட்டிடாமல்
தெளிவின்றி வாழும் நிலை
Oh my queen, without joining hands
All the days pass by
Without you speaking, without me saying
The days pass by, my love
உதிராத விதையோடு
மழை நீரும் உறவாடி
மணலோடு செடியாகுமா
சரியோ தவறோ இனி நாம் எவரோ
மௌனங்கள் பதிலாகுமா
Unceasingly, unceasingly
My thoughts do not listen to my words
Like now, forever
Not listening to my words
என் ராசத்தியே கை சேராமலே
நாள் எல்லாமுமே போகுதே
நீ பேசாமலும் நா சொல்லாமலும்
நாள் போகின்றதே காதலே
Unceasingly, unceasingly
My thoughts do not listen to my words
Chorus: Prince's daughter
Loneliness from now on, pain from now on
Will not leave without lingering...
ஓயாமலே ஓயாமலே
என் எண்ணம் என் பேச்சு கேக்காமலே
இப்போதுபோல் எப்போதுமே
என் பேச்சு கேக்காமலே
ஓயாமலே ஓயாமலே
என் எண்ணம் என் பேச்சு கேக்காமலே
குழு : ராசா மக
தனிமை இனிமேல் வலிகள் இனிமேல்
போகாது மாறாமலே ....

Beyond the translation

Simile / Personification
