இதய வீட்டில்
ஓர் இடம் நீ கெஞ்சிக்
கேக்கிறாய் வீட்டின்
உள்ளே காற்றில்லை
என்றால் என் செய்வாய்
You are begging for a place
Inside the house of my heart
If there is no air inside the house,
What will you do?
இதய வீட்டில்
காற்றில்லையா என்ன
செய்குவேன் உந்தன்
மூச்சு பிச்சையிலே
நான்தான் வாழ்வேன்
Is there no air in the house of the heart?
What will I do?
On the alms of your breath,
I alone will live
வீட்டை விட்டு
வெளியேற ஆணைகள்
இட்டால் என் செய்வாய்

If orders are given, what will you do?
Chorus: Yeah eh yeah eh..
இருப்பவர்க்கே
மனை சொந்தம் என்று
ஒரு சட்டம் நான் இடுவேன்
The house belongs to the one who resides in it,
I will pass such a law!

He will seize the whole monastery!
I have realized you are a sly lover,
I will definitely not give space!

எந்த வழி போவது என்று
கேட்கின்றேன்
In the palace named heart,
There are a hundred entrances
Which way should I go?
I am asking
கண்கள் என்னும்
வாசல் வழி புகுந்த கள்வனே
நுழைந்து கொள்ள வாசல்
வழியா கேட்கின்றாய்
The thief who entered through
The door called eyes,
Do you ask permission via an entrance to step inside?
Inside the house,
வீட்டுக்குள்ளே
நுழைந்திருக்கும்
கள்வனைக் காட்டிக்
கொடுப்பாயா
குழு :
யே யே யே யே
Will you expose the thief who entered?
Chorus: Yeah eh yeah eh..
I will close the doors of my eyes,
கண் கதவை
சாத்திக்கொள்வேன்
காலம் முழுதும்
இருப்பாயா
Will you stay for a lifetime?
A beautiful home like the heart,
இதயம் போலொரு
அழகிய வீடு எங்கு சென்றாலும்
அடைவது ஏது எனக்கிடம்
தருவாயா அன்பே
Wherever I go, how could I ever find?
Will you give me a place, my love?...
I gave you a place,
இடம் ஒன்று
தந்தேன் இடம் ஒன்று
தந்தேன் மனசுக்குள்ளே
இடம் ஒன்று தந்தேன்

I gave you a place inside my heart,
I gave you a place inside my heart,
You gave it, you gave it, you gave it!
தந்தாயே

இதய வீட்டின் அத்தனை
அறைகளும் தந்தாயே
You gave all the rooms in the house of your heart!
The doors of the palace,

கதவுகள் மொத்தமும்
அடைத்தேன் எல்லா
ஜன்னலும் சாத்தி முடித்தேன்
தப்பிக்க முடியாது அன்பே
I have shut them all!
I have closed every single window!
You cannot escape... my love!...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful and romantic duet from the movie 'Appu' depicts a metaphorical negotiation between two lovers. The male protagonist persistently pleads for a small place inside the heroine's heart, offering to be her protector by day and servant by night. The heroine initially feigns resistance, calling him a clever thief who entered through her eyes and warning that giving an inch might lead to taking an ell.
