ஒன்று நெஞ்சில் இருக்கும்
இதழ் சொல்லத் துடிக்கும்
அதை சொல்லவும் மொழி இல்லையே
There is something residing in the heart,
The lips yearn to speak it out,
Yet there are no words to express it.
தினம் இரவில் எல்லாம்
வரும் கனவினிலும்
அதை மறைத்திட வழி இல்லையே
Every single night,
Even in the dreams that visit,
There is no way to hide it.

இன்னும் பால் மணம் மாறா
பிள்ளை போலே
தினம் பறந்து திரிகிற
கிள்ளை போலே
Like a child whose innocent milky scent,
Has not yet faded away,
Like a parrot that flies around,
Every single day;
நாம் அறுபது வயதை
கடந்தாலும்
இந்த ஆசைக்கு நரை இல்லை
தெரியாதோ
Even if we cross,
The age of sixty,
Don't you know that this desire never turns grey?
இது இன்பக் கதையா
அது சொல்லக் கூடுமா
இல்லை அன்பு பாடமா
இது பள்ளிக் கூடமா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful and romantic duet from 'Hello Mister Zamindar' depicts a lighthearted banter between two lovers—a playful 'teacher' and her 'zamindar' beloved. Through English greetings combined with traditional Tamil poetic imagery, the song explores the unspoken depth of love that lingers in the heart and haunts one's dreams. The lovers express that genuine affection and romantic longing are ageless ('desire has no grey hair'), staying as fresh and innocent as a child or a free-flying parrot. They playfully debate whether love is a sweet story or an ongoing lesson, highlighting both the intimacy of a world meant just for the two of them and the joy of sharing their bond with the world.
