என்னென்ன பாடாய் படுத்துறான்
எங்கெங்கும் வந்து தொரத்துறான்
என்னென்ன பாடாய் படுத்துறான்
எங்கெங்கும் வந்து தொரத்துறான்
How much trouble he causes me!
He pursues me everywhere I go.
How much trouble he causes me!
He pursues me everywhere I go.
தன் கண்ணாலே என்னை திண்ணானே
அவன் அங்கங்கே தொட்டானே ஆச தீ வச்சானே
அதனாலே தூக்கம் கெட்டுப் போச்சு
அவன் மேலே நெஞ்சம் ஒட்டிப்போச்சு......
He devoured me with his eyes,
He touched me here and there and set a fire of desire!
Because of that, my sleep is ruined,
My heart has attached itself to him.
எந்தன் மனதுக்குள் உந்தன் அழகினை
சித்திரம் தீட்டி வைத்தேன்
கண்களின் வாசலில் நீ வரும் வேளையில்
கோலமும் போட்டு வைத்தேன்
Inside my heart, your beauty...
...I have painted like a portrait.
At the doorway of my eyes, when you arrive,
I have laid out decorative patterns.
அந்திப் பொழுதினில் வந்த மயக்கத்தில்
நெஞ்சினில் சாய்ந்துக் கொண்டேன்
வாடைக் குளிருக்கு ஆசை நெருப்பிட்டு
நான் கொஞ்சம் காய்ந்துக் கொண்டேன்
In the stupor that arrived during dusk,
I leaned against his chest.
To warm against the chilly breeze, lighting a fire of desire,
I warmed myself up a little.
காதோரம் உன் வார்த்தை தேனாக பாயாதோ
கல்யாண பூமாலை உன் கைகள் ஆகாதோ
கண் கதவு திறந்திருக்கு......
மனசும் உசுரும் உருகும் நீ வாராய் ராசாவே.....
Won't your words flow like honey beside my ears?
Won't your hands become the wedding garland?
The doors of my eyes are open,
My heart and soul are melting, come to me my king!
என்னென்ன பாடாய் படுத்துறான்
எங்கெங்கும் வந்து தொரத்துறான்.......
How much trouble he causes me!
He pursues me everywhere I go.
தன் கண்ணாலே என்னை திண்ணானே
அவன் அங்கங்கே தொட்டானே ஆச தீ வச்சானே
அதனாலே தூக்கம் கெட்டுப் போச்சு
அவன் மேலே நெஞ்சம் ஒட்டிப்போச்சு......
He devoured me with his eyes,
He touched me here and there and set a fire of desire!
Because of that, my sleep is ruined,
My heart has attached itself to him.
என்னென்ன பாடாய் படுத்துறான்
எங்கெங்கும் வந்து தொரத்துறான்...........
How much trouble he causes me!
He pursues me everywhere I go.
ஓலைக் குடிசைக்குள் ஏழை மனசுக்குள்
எப்படி தேடி வந்தான்
அன்பை நினைக்கையில் இன்பம் எனக்கொரு
ஆயிரம் கோடி தந்தான்
Into a thatched hut, into a poor woman's heart,
How did he come searching?
When I think of his love, bliss to me...
...he gave ten million folds!
ஜன்னல் கதவினை தென்றல் திறந்தது
நீ வரும் சேதி சொல்ல
கண்ணில் இருந்தொரு மின்னல் அடித்தது
காதலின் பாதை சொல்ல
The breeze opened the window shutters,
To bring the news of your arrival.
A flash of lightning struck from the eyes,
To reveal the path of love.
காத்தோடு காத்தாக நீ என்னை தீண்டாதே
கண்ணா என் நெஞ்சத்தில் மோகத்தை தூண்டாதே
என் தவிப்பும் மனக் கொதிப்பும்
தினமும் தினமும் உருகும் தாங்காது என் கண்ணா
Don't touch me like wind blending into wind,
My dearest, don't stir up passion in my heart.
My yearning and my mind's turmoil,
Melts every single day, I cannot bear it my darling!
என்னென்ன பாடாய் படுத்துறான்
எங்கெங்கும் வந்து தொரத்துறான்..........
How much trouble he causes me!
He pursues me everywhere I go.
தன் கண்ணாலே என்னை திண்ணானே
அவன் அங்கங்கே தொட்டானே ஆச தீ வச்சானே
அதனாலே தூக்கம் கெட்டுப் போச்சு
அவன் மேலே நெஞ்சம் ஒட்டிப்போச்சு......
He devoured me with his eyes,
He touched light touches and set a fire of desire!
Because of that, my sleep is ruined,
My heart has attached itself to him.
என்னென்ன பாடாய் படுத்துறான்
எங்கெங்கும் வந்து தொரத்துறான்...........
How much trouble he causes me!
He pursues me everywhere I go.
