போகும் வழிகளில்
இசையாய் நீ இருக்கின்றாய்
வாழும் இந்த இரவினிலே
வாசனையாய் நான் மலர்ந்தேனா!
Along the paths I walk
You exist as music
In this living night
Did I bloom as a sweet fragrance?
நீயோ இல்லை நான் யாரோ
நிமிடங்களுக்கு அது தெரியாதே!
பூவே உன் புன்னகையால்
நான் போகும் இடம் முடியாதே!
Without you, who am I?
The passing minutes do not know that
Oh flower, because of your smile
The journey I embark on has no destination
போடி நீ போடி நீ போடி நீ போ
போடி நீ போடி நீ போடி
நீ போ… போடி..
Go away, you go away, go away, oh flower
Go away, you go away, go away
You go away... go away
போ..டி ..ஏ
Go... away...
சாரல் மழைத்துளியே!
உன் பார்வை நான் தனைந்தேனா!
சாகும் ஒரு நொடியில்
சாயந்து கொள்ள துடித்தேனா!
Oh drizzling raindrop
Did I get lost in your gaze?
In a fleeting, dying moment
Did I yearn to lean on you?
நீ என் துணை சேர
நிலவினில் நான் மறைந்தேனா!
புவியது நீ தானே
என் தூக்கத்தை நான் மறந்தேனா!
For you to join me as my companion
Did I hide myself within the moon?
You are indeed my entire world
Did I forget my sleep?
என் காதல் நீயாகவே
கரையினில் நான் மிதந்தேனா!
என் காயம் நீதானடி
காற்றினில் நான் தொலைந்தேனா!
As you became my true love
Did I float ashore?
You are my wound and healing, my dear
Did I lose myself in the wind?
ஏஏஏ…
ஓஓஓ…. ஹோஓஒ…
Ye ye ey
Ooo ho oo o
நீயோ இல்லை நான் யாரோ
நிமிடங்களுக்கு அது தெரியாதே!
பூவே உன் புன்னகையால்
நான் போகும் இடம் முடியாதே!
Without you, who am I?
The passing minutes do not know that
Oh flower, because of your smile
The journey I embark on has no destination
போடி நீ போடி நீ போடி நீ போ
போடி நீ போடி நீ போடி
நீ போ… போடி
Go away... you go away, go away, oh flower
Go away... you go away, go away
You go away... go away
Pogum vazhigalilae
Along the paths I walk
Isaiyaai nee irukkindraai
You exist as music
Vaazhum indha iravinilae
In this living night
Vaasanaiyaai naan malarndhaeno
Did I bloom as a sweet fragrance?
Neeyoo illai naan yaaro
Without you, who am I?
Nimidangalukku adhu theriyaadhae
The passing minutes do not know that
Poovae un punnagaiyaal
Oh flower, because of your smile
Naan pogum idam mudiyaadhae
The journey I embark on has no destination
Podi nee podi nee podi nee poo
Go away, you go away, go away, oh flower
Podi nee podi nee podi
Go away, you go away, go away
Nee po ..podi
You go away... go away
Poo..di..ae..
Go... away...
Saaral mazhaithuliyae
Oh drizzling raindrop
Un paarvaiyil naan tholaindhaena
Did I get lost in your gaze?
Saagum oru nodiyil
In a fleeting, dying moment
Saaindhu kolla thudithaenaa
Did I yearn to lean on you?
Nee en thunai saera
For you to join me as my companion
Nilavinil naan maraidhaena
Did I hide myself within the moon?
Puviyadhu nee dhaane
You are indeed my entire world
En thookathai naan marandhaena
Did I forget my sleep?
En kaadhal neeyagavae
As you became my true love
