ஹேய் காணாமல் போனக் காதல்
காலங்கள் போனப் பின்னே
தானாக எந்தன் முன்னே வந்ததோ
Hey, the love that went missing,
After ages had passed,
Has it automatically come back right before me?
ஹோ ஹோ சொல்லாமல்
முத்தம் ஒன்றை
பொல்லாத நேரம் ஒன்றில்
சில் என்று உந்தன் நெஞ்சில் தந்ததோ
Ho ho, without saying a word, a kiss,
At a mischievous moment,
Did it coolly give itself to your heart?
ஹேய் காணாமல் போனக் காதல்

முத்தம் ஒன்றை
பொல்லாத நேரம் ஒன்றில்
சில் என்று உந்தன் நெஞ்சில் தந்ததோ
Ho ho, without saying a word, a kiss,
At a mischievous moment,
Did it coolly give itself to your heart?
ஹேய் என் பள்ளிக்குயிலே
என் இன்பத் துயிலே
என்னை ஏன் நீங்கி
எங்கே போனாய் உறவே
Hey, my school cuckoo,
My blissful slumber,
Why did you leave me,
Where did you go, my dear relative?
என் செல்லப் புலியே
என் நெஞ்சின் மொழியே
இனி நான் நீங்கமாட்டேன்
நீ என் விழியே
My pet tiger,
Language of my heart,
Now I won't leave you,
You are my eyes!
ஹேய் காணாமல் போனக் காதல்
காலங்கள் போனப் பின்னே
தானாக எந்தன் முன்னே வந்ததோ

At a mischievous moment,
Did it coolly give itself to your heart?

ஹேய் நடமாடும்
தூக்கம் ஒன்றில்
கனவாக உன்னைக் கண்டேன்
புரியாமல் நான் நிற்க்கின்றேன்
அன்பே உன்னாலே
Hey, in a state of
Sleepwalking,
I saw you as a dream,
I stand here bewildered,
My love, because of you!
ஹேய் கனவோடு
முத்தம் என்றால்
இதழோடு ஈரம் ஏனோ
அடைக்காதே அதை மீண்டும்
நான் தந்தேன் தன்னாலே
Hey, if it was
Just a kiss in a dream,
Why is there moisture on the lips?
Don't conceal it again,
I gave it myself naturally!
தூவானத் துகளே
விண் மீனின் மகளே
எந்தன் கையோடு விழுந்தாய்
செவ்வாய் மலரே
O particle of drizzle,
O daughter of the stars,
You fell right into my hands,
O red flower of lips!
ஆண்பாலின் அழகே
நீ வந்தப் பிறகே
எந்தன் நெஞ்சோடு நானும்
கொண்டேன் சிறகே....ஏ....
O beauty of manhood,
Only after you came,
Inside my heart, I too
Grew wings...

ஆண்
: ஹேய் வாயில் வாயை ஒத்தியே
என் கண்கள் ரெண்டை தொட்டியே
என் நெஞ்சைக் குடித்தாலோ……ஹோ…
ஹேய் பூக்கள் கொண்டே மோதியே
நான் ஆனேன் ஆயுள் கைதியே
எனை சிறையில் அடைத்தாளோ……ஹோ.....
Hey, pressing lip against lip,
Touching both my eyes,
Did she drink my heart?
Hey, striking me with flowers,
I became a prisoner for life,
Did she lock me up in prison?
ஹேய் காணாமல் போனக் காதல்
காலங்கள் போனப் பின்னே
தானாக எந்தன் முன்னே வந்ததோ
வந்ததோ வந்ததோ வந்ததோ
