என்ன மச்சி ஓகே வா.....
எஸ்......வா மச்சான் ......மச்சான்
Hey mate, is it okay?
Yes... come on... mate... mate!
நான் ஒரு பையன கட்டி புடிக்குறது
இதுவே கடைசியா இருக்கட்டும்
Me hugging another guy like this...
...let this be the absolute last time!
என்னை கவுத்து போட்டுட்டியே
கனிமொழியே
இத கேக்க யாரும் இல்லையே
மனம் சொன்ன பேச்சையும்
இனி எப்பவுமே கேக்காதே
உன் கண்ணு என் கண்ண கொள்ளை அடித்து
போனதின்று
You have completely floored me,
Oh sweet-spoken girl!
There is no one here to listen to this,
The words that my heart speaks,
Don't ever listen to them from now on.
Your eyes stole my eyes and left today,
Oh beauty,
அழகே
மலரே
பகலே
பனியே
பிறையே
நுதலே
என்னை விட்டு போகாதே......
Oh flower,
Oh daylight,
Oh dew drop,
Oh crescent moon,
Oh beautiful face,
Do not leave me and go!
Do not go anywhere leaving me!
என்னை விட்டு எங்கும் போகாதே
என்னை விட்டு எங்கும் போகாதே
என்னை விட்டு என்றும் போகாதே
என்னை விட்டு எங்கும் போகாதே
Do not go anywhere leaving me!
Never leave me and go!
Do not go anywhere leaving me!
Do not go anywhere leaving me!
என்னை விட்டு எங்கும் போகாதே
என்னை விட்டு எங்கும் போகாதே
என்னை விட்டு என்றும் போகாதே
என்னை விட்டு எங்கும் போகாதே.......
Do not go anywhere leaving me!
Never leave me and go!
Do not go anywhere leaving me!
.....................................
My darling...
ஓஒ ஹோ ஓஒ ஹஹோ......
கண்ணே....
மிதம் அழகே
மின்னல் வெளிச்சம்
மழை துளியே
Oh gentle beauty...
Oh spark of lightning,
Oh raindrop,
My darling...
கண்ணே.....
எனைத் தேடி.....
நனைந்திடவே வந்தவளே
In search of me...
You came to drench me!
Do not go anywhere leaving me!
என்னை விட்டு எங்கும் போகாதே
என்னை விட்டு எங்கும் போகாதே
என்னை விட்டு என்றும் போகாதே
என்னை விட்டு எங்கும் போகாதே
Do not go anywhere leaving me!
Never leave me and go!
Do not go anywhere leaving me!
There are a thousand fish in the river,
ஆத்துக்குள்ள ஆயிரம் மீன் இருக்கு
எந்த மீனு நமக்குன்னு எழுதிருக்கு
அந்த மீனு தானா மாட்டிருக்கு
யோசிக்காம அப்புடியே அமுக்கு
Which fish is destined for us?
That fish has caught itself in the net on its own,
Without thinking, grab it firmly!
A hundred desires arise every single day,
நிதம் தோனும் ஆசைகள் நூறு
அந்த நூறு ஆசையும்
உன்னை சார்ந்தவைதான்......
And all those hundred desires,
Belong only to you!
Oh flower wearing a flower, look here,
பூ வைத்த பூவே நீ பாரு
உன்னை வாடி போக விடவே மாட்டேன்
தட்ப வெப்பம் மாறிடலாம்.....
I will never let you wither away.
The climate and temperature may change,
In my heart, right inside my heart,
நெஞ்சிலே என் நெஞ்சிலே
ஒரு தொட்டில் உனக்காக கட்டி
நித்திரை கலையாமலே தாலாட்டிடவா
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஓ ஹோ ஓஒ
I will build a cradle for you,
Shall I rock you to sleep without disturbing your slumber?
Hoo oo oo oo hoo ooo
My darling...
கண்ணே....
மிதம் அழகே.......
மின்னல் வெளிச்சம்
மழை துளியே
கண்ணே.....
எனைத் தேடி.....
Oh gentle beauty...
Oh spark of lightning,
Oh raindrop,
My darling...
In search of me...
In my heart, right inside my heart,
நெஞ்சிலே என் நெஞ்சிலே
ஒரு ஊஞ்சல் உனக்காக கட்டி
மெல்லமாய் கொஞ்சமாய்
செல்லமாய் தாலாட்டிடவா
I will tie a swing for you,
Gently, softly,
And affectionately rock you like a lullaby!
Do not go anywhere leaving me!
என்னை விட்டு எங்கும் போகாதே
என்னை விட்டு எங்கும் போகாதே
என்னை விட்டு என்றும் போகாதே
என்னை விட்டு எங்கும் போகாதே
Do not go anywhere leaving me!
Never leave me and go!
Do not go anywhere leaving me!
Do not go anywhere leaving me!
என்னை விட்டு எங்கும் போகாதே
என்னை விட்டு எங்கும் போகாதே
என்னை விட்டு என்றும் போகாதே
என்னை விட்டு எங்கும் போகாதே
Do not go anywhere leaving me!
Never leave me and go!
Do not go anywhere leaving me!
