சிரிக்கின்றேன் சிரிக்கின்றேன்
இதயம் இல்லாமலே நான் வாழ்கிறேன்
இதயம் எங்கே இதயம் எங்கே....எங்கே
I have fallen in love
I have fallen in love
I smile, I thrill with excitement
I am living without a heart
Where is my heart, where is my heart... where?
I have fallen in love
I have fallen in love
என்ன இது என்ன இது
என் மனது என்னை விட்டு
தூரம் நின்று பார்க்கிறதே
What is this? What is this?
My heart, leaving me,
Is standing at a distance watching me
என்ன இது என்ன இது
என் விழிகள் என்னை விட்டு
உன் வழியில் கிடக்கிறதே
What is this? What is this?
My eyes, leaving me,
Are lying along your path
தென்றலிலே ஈரபதம்
குறைகிறதே
தென்றல் இங்கே தீ பிடித்து
எரிகிறதே
I have fallen in love
I have fallen in love
The moisture level in the breeze
Is decreasing
Male: Here, the breeze has caught fire
And is burning
Female: I have fallen in love
I have fallen in love
என்ன இது என்ன இது
என் மனது என்னை விட்டு
தூரம் நின்று பார்க்கிறதே
What is this? What is this?
My heart, leaving me,
Is standing at a distance watching me
என்ன இது என்ன இது
என் விழிகள் என்னை விட்டு
உன் வழியில் கிடக்கிறதே
What is this? What is this?
My eyes, leaving me,
Are lying along your path
ஹா...ஆஆ....ஆ....
Haa....aaa.....aa.....
ஹா...ஆஆ....ஆ....ஆஅ....
Haa.....aaa....aaa....aaa.....
மின்னல் சுடர் விழுந்து
மேகம் தீ பிடிக்க
நின்றேன் நின்றேன் காதல் கொண்டு
As a flash of lightning strikes
And sets the clouds on fire
I stood transfixed, filled with love
ஹ்ம்ம்ம்....ம்ம்ம்
உந்தன் அழகை கண்டு
உருகும் பனி மலையில்
கண்டேன் கண்டேன் நான் இங்கு
Hmmm ..mm
Seeing your breathtaking beauty
A melting snowy mountain
Is what I witnessed here
ஒரே ஒரு பொறி போதும்
பற்றிக்கொள்ளும் ஒரு காடு
போதும் உந்தன் கால் சுவடு
ஆளும் அதில் எந்தன் மனது
காதலர் நடந்திடும்
சாலைகள் யாவையும்
சொர்க்கத்தை நோக்கியே செல்லும்
Just a single spark is enough
To set a whole forest ablaze
Male: Just your footprints are enough
My heart will reign inside them
Female: All the roads
On which lovers walk
Lead straight toward heaven
I have fallen in love
I have fallen in love
What is this? What is this?
My heart, leaving me,
Is standing at a distance watching me
என்ன இது என்ன இது
என் மனது என்னை விட்டு
தூரம் நின்று பார்க்கிறதே
What is this? What is this?
My eyes, leaving me,
Are lying along your path
என்ன இது என்ன இது
என் விழிகள் என்னை விட்டு
உன் வழியில் கிடக்கிறதே
Caressing the cheek
The sweet pleasure of the breeze
Is blissful joy, just like you
கன்னம் வருடி விடும்
காற்றின் இனிய சுகம்
இன்பம் இன்பம் உன்னை போலே
Hmmm ..mm
The sway of the flowers
And the curves of the river
Are delightful, just like you
ஹ்ம்ம்....ம்ம்ம்
பூவின் அசைவுகளும்
நதியின் வளைவுகளும்
இன்பம் இன்பம் உன்னை போலே
This touch is more than enough
This moment is more than enough
Male: We don't need this world
Search for another planet
Female: No wonder of the world compares
My love, before our love
போதும் போதும் இந்த ஸ்பரிசம்
போதும் போதும் இந்த நிமிஷம்
தேவை இல்லை இந்த உலகம்
தேடு தேடு வேறு கிரகம்
உலக அதிசயம் எதுவும் இல்லையே
அன்பே நம் காதலின் முன்னே
What is this? What is this?
My heart, leaving me,
Is standing at a distance watching me
I have fallen in love
I have fallen in love
What is this? What is this?
My eyes, leaving me,
Are lying along your path
என்ன இது என்ன இது
என் மனது என்னை விட்டு
தூரம் நின்று பார்க்கிறதே
The moisture level in the breeze
Is decreasing
Male: Here, the breeze has caught fire
And is burning
Both: I have fallen in love
I have fallen in love
என்ன இது என்ன இது
என் விழிகள் என்னை விட்டு
உன் வழியில் கிடக்கிறதே
தென்றலிலே ஈரபதம்
குறைகிறதே
தென்றல் இங்கே தீ பிடித்து
எரிகிறதே

Beyond the translation

This romantic track captures the overwhelming sensation of falling in love and the resulting sense of emotional detachment from reality. The protagonist feels as though their heart and vision have detached from their body to follow their beloved. The heat of passion turns cool breezes into metaphorical flames, illustrating how intensely love alters one's perception of nature and time.
