இந்த வீண் கோபம் ஹா
இந்த வீண் கோபம் வரலாமோ
உள்ளதைச் சொன்னால்
இந்த வீண் கோபம் வரலாமோ
உள்ளதைச் சொன்னால்
எரிந்து என் மேலே விழலாமோ
This futile anger, ahhh
Should this unnecessary anger come?
When the truth is spoken
Should this unnecessary anger come?
When the truth is spoken
Why flare up and pounce upon me?
ஹ்ம்ம் அப்புறம்
Hmm, what next?
உணவில்லை உறக்கமில்லை உணர்வில்லை
உணவில்லை உறக்கமில்லை உணர்வில்லை
கனவிலும் நீங்காத
காதலின் சோதனை
தன்னால் இந்த வேதனை
வலையிதில் நீ வீழும் காலம் வருமே
காதல் வலையிதில் நீ வீழும் காலம் வருமே
நானா இல்லை பிறவி இதில் இலை
ஏனோ உனைப் போல் எனக்கந்த ஆண் தொல்லை
No food, no sleep, no senses
No food, no sleep, no senses
Undying even in dreams
The trial of love
This pain comes on its own
The time will come when you fall into the net
The time will come when you fall into the trap of love
Is it me? No, not in this birth
Why do I have this trouble from men like you?
வீண் கோபம் வரலாமோ
உனக்கிந்த வீண் கோபம் வரலாமோ
Should unnecessary anger come?
Should this unnecessary anger come to you?
கண்டேன் நான் கண்டேன்
ஹான்
கண்டேன் நான் கண்டேன்
கண்டியா என்னடி
I saw, I saw...
Female: Haan
Female: I saw, I saw
Female: Did you see, girl?
அதிசயம் கண்டேன்
ரகசியம் கண்டேன்
நாதனை நினைந்ததேன்
நீ நாதனை நினைந்ததேன்
இம் மானதும் புரிந்ததே
I saw a wonder
I saw a secret
Why did you think of the lord?
Why did you think of him as your lord?
Now I understand all of this
சிரிப்போ உனக்கே எதற்கோ
உன் ஆசை உள்ளம் பொங்கிடுதே
Why this laughter reserved for you?
Your hopeful heart is overflowing
எனை நாடியே விஜயனும் வருவாரே
எனை திருமணம் புரிவாரே
விஜயனும் வருவாரே
எனை திருமணம் புரிவாரே
ஜகமிதிலே எனக்கிணையே எவரினியே...
ஏ......ஏ......ஏ....ஏ....ஏ.....

Vijayan will come seeking me
He will marry me
Vijayan will come
He will marry me
In this world, who is equal? Who compares?

In this world, who is equal? Who compares?
My life will blossom, my
My life will blossom

My life will blossom
ஹைய்ய ஆசையப் பாரு
Oh my, look at her desire!
நீ ஆகாச
நீ ஆகாசக் கோட்டை கட்டாதே
இது ஆகாத காரியம் கிட்டாதே
நேத்து வந்த ஒருத்தியிடம்
நேசம் வைத்தானே
அவன் நேசம் வைத்தானே
அவன் உன்னை வெறுத்தானே
அவள் கண்ணழகில் அவன் கட்டழகில்
அவள் காதலிலே மனம்
சொக்கி விட்டாள் சுந்தரி
அவன் உனை மறந்தான் கண்மணி
இனி உனக்கிதுவே தண்டனை
You, in the sky
Do not build castles in the air
This is an unachievable deed that will not be attained
With a woman who arrived yesterday
He fell in love
He placed his affection
He came to despise you
In her eye beauty, in his handsome physique
In her love, his mind
He got mesmerized, beautiful one
He forgot you, my dear
From now on, this is your punishment
