இன்றோடு தடைகள் எல்லாமே
தகர்ந்தது
என் உயிர் காதலி போல் அது
நகர்ந்தது
எத்தனை கனவு எல்லாமே பலித்தது
எத்தனை இரவு எல்லாமே விடிந்தது
As of today, all obstacles
Have been shattered
Like my beloved sweetheart
It moved along
So many dreams have all come true
So many nights have turned into dawn
இலையுதிர் காலம்...
இனி இல்லை நாளும்... ஓ...
சிற்றன வாசல் விட்டு
சிற்பாங்கள் வந்து நின்று
வட்டங்கள் இட்டதென்று
வாழ்த்தட்டும் இலக்கியம்
The season of falling leaves (autumn)
Will no longer exist from now on..ooo
Leaving the threshold of Sittannavasal
The sculptures come and stand
Saying they have danced in circles
Let classical literature bestow its blessings
இன்றோடு அச்சம் விடும்
மின்னல்கள் மிச்சம் விடும்
இன்பங்கள் உச்சம் தொடும்
இவள் எந்தன் இளங்கெடியே...
As of today, fear will depart
Lightnings will leave a spark
Delights will reach their peak
She is my young, tender vine
{யே யே கம் கெட் மீ ஹையர்
ஹோல்ட் மீ அண்ட் லெட் மீ ப்ளை
யே யே கம் டேக் மீ நவ்
தட்ஸ் ஹவ் வி ப்ரேக் இட் டவுன்} (2)
{Hey hey come get me higher
Hold me …and let me fly
Hey hey come take me now
Thats how we break it down} (2)
என்னை நீ எடுத்தே
இசைப்பாய் ஒரு டொல்பின் போல
இடைதான் குதித்தால்
கடிப்பேன் ஒரு மான்சூன் போல
Taking me in your embrace
You play like a dolphin
Male: If you leap at my waist
I will bite like a monsoon shower
வான்மழையாய்
நீ வந்து விழுந்தால்
நான் புத்தம் புதிதாய்
நித்தம் பூ பூப்பேன்
Like rain from the sky
If you come and pour down
I, brand new,
Will bloom into flowers every day
மனம் மயக்கும் என்
மலர் வனமே
மழை சாரல் என
என் உயிரை நனைத்தாயே...
Mesmerizing the mind,
O my flower garden!
Like a gentle rain drizzle
You drenched my soul
{யே யே கம் கெட் மீ ஹையர்
ஹோல்ட் மீ அண்ட் லெட் மீ ப்ளை
யே யே கம் டேக் மீ நவ்
தட்ஸ் ஹவ் வி ப்ரேக் இட் டவுன்} (2)
{Hey hey come get me higher
Hold me …and let me fly
Hey hey come take me now
Thats how we break it down} (2)
புதையல் என நான் இருந்தேன்
நீ கொல்லை இட்டாய்
கதவை திறந்து
எனை ஏன் நீ உள்ளே விட்டாய்
I remained like a hidden treasure
You plundered me completely
Male: Opening the door
Why did you let me inside?
ஹேய் திருடா
என்றும் கூட இருடா
உன் உள்ளங்கையில் தான்
எந்தன் உயிர் மூச்சு
Hey thief
Stay with me forever
Only within your palm
Resides my breath of life
கால் தடுக்கி
என் கண்கள் மயங்கி
உன் கண்ணக்குழிக்குள்
என்றோ விழுந்தாச்சே...
Stumbling on my feet
My eyes growing dizzy
Into your cheek dimple
I fell long ago
{யே யே கம் கெட் மீ ஹையர்
ஹோல்ட் மீ அண்ட் லெட் மீ ப்ளை
யே யே கம் டேக் மீ நவ்
தட்ஸ் ஹவ் வி ப்ரேக் இட் டவுன்} (2)

Hold me …and let me fly
Hey hey come take me now
