சின்ன பூவே சின்ன பூவே
கோபம் கொள்ளாதே
கன்னி காதல் பூவே
என்னை தள்ளாதே
கண்ணி மனதில் கலக்கம் தெரியும்
காலம் கணிந்தால் மயக்கம் தெளியும்
போக போக என்னை தெரியும்
பொறுமை இருந்தால் உண்மை புரியும்
Little flower, little flower,
Do not get angry.
Maiden flower, love flower,
Do not push me away.
சின்ன பூவே சின்ன பூவே
கோபம் கொள்ளாதே
கன்னி காதல் பூவே
என்னை தள்ளாதே
The turmoil in the maiden's heart is visible,
When time ripens, the illusion will clear.
As time goes by, you will know me,
If you have patience, you will understand the truth.
.............................
Little flower, little flower,
Do not get angry.
Maiden flower, love flower,
Do not push me away.
போதும் போதும் பொய்யை சொல்லி
காதல் கொள்ளாதே
பேதை நெஞ்சம் மாறும் என்று
காலம் தள்ளாதே
La la la... la la la...
போதும் வேஷம் எனக்கு தெரியும்
உன்னை ஒரு நாள் உலகம் அறியும்
காதல் நெஞ்சு காயம் தெரியும்
கள்வன் உனக்கு எப்படி புரியும்
Enough, enough of telling lies,
Do not pretend to love.
Thinking this innocent heart will change,
Do not delay time.
போதும் போதும் பொய்யை சொல்லி
காதல் கொள்ளாதே
பேதை நெஞ்சம் மாறும் என்று
காலம் தள்ளாதே
I know the disguise you are putting on,
One day the world will know your true self.
I know the pain of a loving heart,
How could a thief like you understand it?
