இன்பக் கனவொன்று
நானே கண்டேனடி
இன்பக் கனவொன்று
நானே கண்டேனடி
ஒரு கட்டழகன் வந்து முன் நின்றானடி
A sweet dream,
I myself saw, my dear friend.
A sweet dream,
I myself saw, my dear friend.
A handsome man came and stood before me, my friend.
அவனை கண்ணாலே கண்டதும் தம் தரிஜம்
அவனை கண்ணாலே கண்டதும் தம் தரிஜம்
அடி என்னென்னமோ செய்வதேனோ நெஞ்சம்
என்னென்னமோ செய்வதேனோ நெஞ்சம்...
As soon as my eyes saw him, my heart beat to a rhythmic rhythm.
As soon as my eyes saw him, my heart beat to a rhythmic rhythm.
Oh friend, why is my heart experiencing all these unknown feelings?
Why is my heart experiencing all these unknown feelings?
பெண் மற்றும் குழு :
ஹே......
ஜும் தரிஜம் ஜும் தரிஜம் ஜூம்தரிஜம்
குழு :
ஏலே லங்கடி லேலோ ஆஆ....ஆஆ...ஆஆ....
During my time of danger,
He arrived to rescue me.
Giving me desire, he stole my heart away.
Out of pure affection, I lost my heart to him.
At this very moment, he has come and stood right before me.
என் ஆபத்து காலத்தில்
காப்பாற்ற வந்தான்
ஆசை கொடுத்து என் உள்ளம் கவர்ந்தான்
நேசத்தினாலே எந்தன் நெஞ்சை இழந்தேன்
இந்நேரம் என் நேரில் அவன் வந்து நின்றான்
The moonlight shines bright like milk over me,
Yet the gentle breeze pounces on me like a tiger.
Because our eyes spoke and merged into one,
Because our eyes spoke and merged into one,
A storm blows inside the heart of this woman today.
பால் போல் நிலா வீசி காயும் என் மேலே
பசுந்தென்றல் புலி போல பாயும் என் மேலே
கண்ணும் கண்ணும் பேசி ஒண்ணாவதாலே
கண்ணும் கண்ணும் பேசி ஒண்ணாவதாலே
பெண் எந்தன் நெஞ்சில் புயல் வீசும் நாளே
Oh friend, why is my heart experiencing all these unknown feelings?
Why is my heart experiencing all these unknown feelings?
அடி என்னென்னமோ செய்வதேனோ நெஞ்சம்
என்னென்னமோ செய்வதேனோ நெஞ்சம்...
