சில்லென ஒரு
மழை துளி என்னை
நனைக்குதே பெண்ணே
சிறகுகள் யார் கொடுத்தது
நெஞ்சம் பறக்குதே முன்னே
A chilly raindrop
Drenches me, oh girl
Who gave me these wings?
My heart flies ahead
உன் விழிகளிலே ஓஹோ
நான் வாழ்கிறேன் பெண்ணே
உன் கனவுகளா ஹோ நான்
மாறினேன் கண்ணே
Oh hoo oh hoo oh hoo oh hoo
Oh hoo oh hoo oh hoo oh hoo
ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஹோ
ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஹோ
ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஹோ
Oh palm jaggery, my sweet potato
Don't make me fall with your smile
Oh my calf, my lake bund
Don't sail a ship here
அட கருப்பட்டியே
என் சீனி கிழங்கே சிரிச்சி
கவுக்காத என் கண்ணு குட்டியே
கம்மாக் கரயே நீ கப்பல் ஒட்டாத
Look at me a little bit
Speak to me a little bit, saying so
Oh my! My own eyes scold me
Even after the summer rain
Has come and gone
The roadside tree drips water on its own
கண்ணால பாக்காம கண்ணாலம்
பண்ணலாமா கைகோா்த்து
போகலாமா
You storm that attacks me
You sunshine that burns through the night
Because of you, because of you, without a string
I became a kite
Oh girl, oh my precious
If I fall, I will reach your feet
கொஞ்சம் பார்த்துவிடு
கொஞ்சம் பேசிவிடு என்று என்
விழிகள் அய்யய்யோ என்னை
திட்ட கோடை கால மழை வந்து
போன பின்னும் சாலை ஓரம் மரம்
தன்னாலே நீர் சொட்ட
As love arrived, a fever came along
For me to survive again
Will you give me kisses?
Even when you get angry
It makes me swoon, will you look at me
In anger once again?
என்னை தாக்கும்
புயலே இரவோடு காயும்
வெயிலே உன்னாலே
உன்னாலே நூலில்லா
காத்தாடி ஆனேனே அடி
பெண்ணே அடி கண்ணே
நான் விழுந்தால் உன் பாதம்
சோ்வேனே
Oh killer beauty
Even your shadow is a duplicate of beauty
Not on any day...
Will it diminish, ohooo...
At the corner of my eyes, a new intoxication
You gave me
Unextinguished even when embraced
Like a fire inside my heart
You arrived...
உன் விழிகளிலே ஓஹோ
நான் வாழ்கிறேன் பெண்ணே
உன் கனவுகளா ஹோ நான்
மாறினேன் கண்ணே
Oh hoo oh hoo oh hoo oh hoo
Oh hoo oh hoo oh hoo oh hoo
காதல் வந்தவுடன்
காய்ச்சல் வந்ததடி மீண்டும்
நான் பிழைக்க முத்தங்கள்
தருவாயா கோபம் கொள்கையிலும்
கிரங்க வைக்குதடி மீண்டும் ஒருமுறை
நீ கோபத்தில் பார்ப்பாயா
ஆளை கொள்ளும்
அழகே நிழல் கூட அழகின்
நகலே ஒரு நாளும் குறையாத
ஓ ஹோ புது போதை கண்ணோரம்
தந்தாயே அணைத்தாலும் அணையாத
ஒரு தீயாய் நெஞ்சோரம் வந்தாயே
அடி இடம் வலமா
நான் ஆடினேன் பெண்ணே
ஒரு இடி மழையாய் என்னைத்
தாக்கினாய் முன்னே
ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஹோ
ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஹோ
ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஹோ
