என் மனதை கொள்ளையடித்தவளே
என் வயதை கண்டு பிடித்தவளே ஹே ஹே
என் மனதை கொள்ளையடித்தவளே ப ப ப
என் வயதை கண்டு பிடித்தவளே
O girl who stole my heart,
O girl who discovered my age, hae hae,
O girl who stole my heart, pa pa pa,
O girl who discovered my age,
அழகிய முகம் எனக்கென தினம்
அவசரம் என விழிகளில் விழும்
மன தந்தியை படித்தேன் வந்தேன் அம்மம்மா
இங்கு மின்னல் வேகத்தில்
கண்டேன் உன்னைதான் ஒரு ஜன்னல் ஓரத்தில்
A beautiful face, every day just for me,
An urgency falls into my eyes,
I read the telegram of the mind and came, oh my!
Here at the speed of lightning,
I saw you near the edge of a window.
மூச்சை போல உனை தானே
இங்கு தினம் வாங்கும் இந்த நுரை ஈரல்
நீ இல்லாமல் இருந்தாலே
இந்த நுரை ஈரல் ஒரு குறை ஈரல்
Just like breath, it is you,
That these lungs inhale every day here.
If you are not there,
These lungs become defective lungs.
நிதம் நிதம்தான் காதல் ராகம்
நிகழ்த்திடதான் கேட்கும் தேகம்
நீங்காமல் நெஞ்சில் இருக்கு
உந்தன் பேர்தான் இங்கு தேசிய கீதம் எனக்கு....
ஆஅ......ஆ.....ஆ.....ஆ......
Every single day, the melody of love,
The body yearns for it to happen.
Male: It remains unremoved in my heart,
Your name here is like a national anthem to me.
Aaa....aa.....aa....aa....
என் மனதை கொள்ளையடித்தவனே
என் வயதை கண்டு பிடித்தவனே..
O boy who stole my heart,
O boy who discovered my age...
ஏப்ரல் மாதம் கொதித்தாலும்
உன்னை அணைத்தாலே அது டிசம்பர்தான்
டிசம்பர் மாதம் குளிர்ந்தாலும்
உன்னை பிரிந்தாலே அது ஏப்ரல்தான்
Even if the month of April boils with heat,
If I embrace you, it becomes December.
Even if the month of December is freezing cold,
If I separate from you, it becomes April.
உனக்கெனத்தான் தோழி தோழி
உருகுகிறேன் நீண்ட நாழி
நீ தீண்ட கூச்சம் பிறக்கும்
கொஞ்ச நேரம் செல்ல நீ
கேட்கும் மோட்சம் பிறக்கும்
பபப்பா
Only for you, my friend, my friend,
I melt for a long time.
Female: When you touch me, shyness is born,
As a little time passes, when you,
Ask, salvation is born.
Male: Papappaa
என் மனதை கொள்ளையடித்தவளே
என் வயதை கண்டு பிடித்தவளே
அழகிய முகம் எனக்கென தினம்
அவசரம் என விழிகளில் விழும்
மன தந்தியை படித்தேன்…
வந்தேன் அம்மம்மா
இங்கு மின்னல் வேகத்தில்
O girl who stole my heart, pa pa pa,
O girl who discovered my age,
கண்டேன் உன்னைதான்
ஒரு ஜன்னல் ஓரத்தில்....
ஹம்மா ஹம்மம்மா ஹையோ ஹம்மா
ஹையோ ஹைய்யய்யோ.....ஹ்ஹ..
