காதல்
வந்தாச்சோ மழை
வானம் தந்தாச்சோ
விழி மேலே காதல் புறா
Has love arrived?
Has the sky given rain?
A dove of love upon the eyes
தூறல் நின்னாச்சோ
மனம் வான வில்லாச்சோ
மலை மேலே நீ அன்றில்லா
Did the drizzle soak you?
Has the mind turned into a rainbow?
Aren't you the lover bird on the mountain?
சித்திரை வென்னிலா
நீ வெட்கமாய் நின்றதேன்
நித்திரை வேளையில் என்
பக்கமாய் வந்ததேன்
Oh full moon of the Chithirai month!
Why did you stand in shyness?
During the time of sleep
Why did you come to my side?
{ இரவும் பகலும்
வருவதும் போவதும்
தெரியாதே மனம்
ஒளியும் ஒளியும்
காண்பதை விழிகளும்
அறியாதே } (2)
{Night and day
Neither coming nor going is known
The mind sees light and sound
Even the eyes do not realize what they see} (2)
காதல்

Has love arrived?
Has the sky given rain?
A dove of love upon the eyes

மனம் வான வில்லாச்சோ
மலை மேலே நான் அன்றில்லா
Did the drizzle soak you?
Has the mind turned into a rainbow?
Am I not the lover bird on the mountain?
படகோட்டி
படம் பாக்க சனம்
கூடுதே உன்ன மொத
ஆட்டம் கூட்டி போகவா
To watch the Padagotti movie
People are gathering
To watch the grand game
Shall I take you along?
ஓ படங்காட்டி
பதம் பாக்க இடம் பாக்குற
எங்கும் வரமாட்டேன் நீ
போகலாம்
Oh movie operator!
You are looking for a spot to test the waters
I won't come anywhere, you may leave
நெருங்காம
நீயும் உறங்காம நானும்
உன் காம கிறங்கி நிக்கிறேன்
Without you coming close
Without me sleeping
I stand mesmerized by your love
மருதாணி
போல செவந்தேனே
நித்தமும் உன்னால
நாணி நிக்குறேன்
Like henna
I turn red every day
Because of you, I stand feeling shy
உயிரே வா
என் உயிரே வா ஏய்
ஓஹோ
Come my soul... come my soul
Aeii... ohooo...

விழி மேலே காதல் புறா
Has love arrived?
Has the sky given rain?
A dove of love upon the eyes
கடுதாசி உன்ன
சேர திசை தேடுதே ஆச
முகம் பாக்க மனம்
ஏங்குதே
To reach you, the letter
Searches across directions
To see the face of desire
The heart yearns
உன் கடுதாசி
என்ன சேர பொழுதாகுதே
இன்னும் வெரசாக்க புதுசா
என்ன
For your letter to reach me
It takes so long
To make it faster
What new idea is there?
வண்டார
தேடும் மந்தார நான்
தான் செந்தேனா
நிறைஞ்சி நிக்கிறேன்
Seeking the beetle
I am the hibiscus flower
I stand filled like sweet honey
சந்தேகம் தீர
உன் தேகம் தொடவா
பொன்மானே வளவி
சத்தமா குலுங்குறியே
பெண் : உண்மைதான்
நழுவருனே
To clear all doubts
Shall I touch your body?
Golden deer, with the sound of bangles
You are shaking and giggling...
Female: I slip away only because of you
