ஜீ பூம்பா ஹே
ஹே ஜீ பூம்பா எந்தன்
தேவதையை நீ காட்டு
Jee boomba (magic spell)
Hey hey jee boomba
My angel
Show me
காட்டினால்
காதல் கூட்டினால்
அவளை கும்பிடுவேன்
பூ போட்டு
If you show her
If you increase love
I will worship her
By placing flowers
உன்னை நினைத்து
பெண்ணே உயிர் விட்டு
விட்டேனே காதலுக்கு
தான் என்னை விற்று
விட்டேனே
Thinking of you, oh girl
I gave up my life
Only for love
I sold myself
உன்னை அடைவேன்
என்றே எமன் விட்டு வைத்தானே
உன்னுயிரில் என்னை கட்டி
வைத்தானே
Saying that I will reach you
The God of Death spared me
In your life, me
He bound me to
மழையில் நனைந்த
காகிதம் போல எனது தேகம்
ஆகிய போதும் உன்னை நான்
அடைவது சத்தியம்
Soaked in rain
Like a piece of paper
Even if my body becomes like that
Reaching you is my absolute truth
ஓஹோ
Ohooooo...
ஜீ பூம்பா ஹே
ஹே ஜீ பூம்பா எந்தன்
தேவதையை நீ காட்டு
Jee boomba
Hey hey jee boomba

Show me...
ஓஹோ ஓஹோ
ஓஓஓஓ ஓஹோ ஓஹோ

என் முகத்தை
நினைப்பாய் அந்த
ஏக்கத்தையும் ரசிப்பாய்
என் உள் உணர்வு ஏதோ
சொல்லுதடி
You will think of my face
You will relish that yearning
My inner intuition
Is telling me something...
ராத்திரியில் எழுவாய்
நீ ரகசியமாய் அழுவாய் என்ற
கற்பனைகள் என்னை
கொல்லுதடி
You will wake up at night
You will cry in secret
Such imaginations
Are killing me...
பாசம் உள்ள மலரே
இளம் தளிரே உன்னை
காணாவிடில் விழிகள்
குழிகள் தானடி
Oh affectionate flower
Oh tender leaf
If I do not see you
My eyes are just empty pits
உன்னை கண்டு
பிடிப்பேன் உயிர் இனிப்பேன்
அதில் ஐயமில்லை உலகம்
உருண்டை தானடி
I will find you
My life will sweeten
There is no doubt about it
The world is round after all...
காற்று மண்டலம் ஏறி
உன்னை மண்ணில் தேடி
பார்ப்பேன் நீ வேற்று கிரகம்
போனால் நான் மாற்று வழியில்
வருவேன் உன்னை நான்
அடைவது சத்தியம்
Climbing into the atmosphere
I will search for you on earth
If you go to an alien planet
I will come in an alternate path
Reaching you is my absolute truth
இரண்டு கண்கள்
இருக்க நான் எந்த திசையை
அளக்க அடி மேலும் சில
கண்கள் வேண்டுமடி
Having just two eyes
Which direction can I measure?
Hey, a few more
Eyes are needed
எட்டு கண்கள்
இருந்தால் நான் நான்கு
திசைகள் அளப்பேன்
உன்னை எப்படியும்
கண்கள் காணுமடி
If there were eight eyes
I would measure all four directions
Somehow or other
My eyes will find you
கை அடக்க நிலவே
கதிர் அழகே நீ எங்கே எங்கே
காற்றை அனுப்பி தேடினேன்
Oh palm-sized moon
Oh beauty of the sun's rays
Where are you... where are you?
I sent the wind to search for you
கண் இமைக்கும்
பொழுதில் நீ மறைந்தால்
என்ன ஆகும் என்று தூக்கத்தை
தூக்கில் ஏற்றினேன்
In the blink of an eye
If you disappear
Wondering what would happen
I hanged my sleep to death
விண்ணில் எரியும்
கல்லோ அந்த விண்ணை
கடப்பதில்லை மண்ணில்
உலவும் நீயோ என்றும்
என்னை கடப்பதில்லை
உன்னை நான் அடைவது
சத்தியம்
A meteor burning in the sky
Does not cross beyond that sky
But you who walk on earth
Never cross beyond me
Reaching you is my absolute truth
ஓஹோ ஓஓ
ஓஹோ ஓஹோ
ஓஓஓஓஹோ
Ohooo..oo..ohoo..
Ohooo...ooooohooo

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Jee Boomba' from the movie Jay Jay (2003) is an energetic romantic track expressing the protagonist's obsessive search for his lost love. Invoking magical chants ('Jee Boomba'), he pledges his ultimate devotion to finding his 'angel'. He poetically envisions her secretly missing him and vows that no physical barrier, cosmic distance, or earthly condition will stop him from being reunited with her. Throughout the song, the lyricist uses imaginative hyperbole and vivid imagery to portray a lover who considers reaching his beloved to be his ultimate destiny. From searching through the atmosphere to wishing for extra eyes to look in all four directions, the lyrics showcase an unyielding determination bound by destiny.
