அய்யயோ குடையிலா நேரம்
வந்தாயே மலையென்ன நீயும்
Oh my, at a time when there is no umbrella,
You came pouring down like rain!
நெஞ்சோடு இழுக்குற செல்லோடு ஒரசுர
ஹார்மோனில் கலக்குற சிலிர்க்க வைக்கிறியே
Pulling at my chest, brushing against my cells,
Mixing into my hormones, making me shiver with thrill!
கல்லாண மனசத்தான் சில்லான சிரிப்புல
நல்லாவே கரைக்கிற வசியம் வைக்கிறியே
A heart like stone, with a cool smile,
You melt it so completely, casting a spell on me!
கொஞ்சலா கேக்கும் உன் வார்த்த
அத கோர்ப்பேனே கவிதை வார்ப்பேனே
மின்னலா தாக்கும் உன் கண்ணுல மைய
விழுவேனே அழக தொழுவேனே
Your words that sound like endearing lisping,
I will string them together and weave poetry!
பொல்லாத வயச சீண்டித்தான் போனாயே
தடுத்தாலும் உனக்கே விழுவேன் நானே
In your eye lined with kohl that strikes like lightning,
I will fall and worship your beauty!
கண்ணாடி மனச கல் வீசி பார்த்தாயே
ஒடஞ்சாலும் காட்டுவேன் உன்ன நானே
In this youthful, rowdy age of mine,
You teased me and walked away.
