ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம்
ஏதேதோ எனக்குள் மயக்கம்
புரியாத புதிராய் மிதக்கும்
பிரிவொன்றில் பிரியும் ரசிக்கும்
தேடல் தொடங்குதடா
Hmm mm mm hmm mm mm
Some strange intoxication arises within me
Floating like an incomprehensible puzzle
Finding pleasure even in the sorrow of separation
A new search begins, my dear
அருகில் நீ அற்ற தருணம்
அழகாய் ஓர் போதை தான்
தரை காேதே பேசிய வார்த்தை
உளறல் ஆகுதே
உன் விரலை தேடுதே
The moments when you are not near me
Are themselves a beautiful state of intoxication
The words spoken while running fingers through hair
Have now turned into soft rambling
It keeps searching for your fingers
சிறுமுத்தம் காணா இரவே
உன் சட்டை துணையாய் அருகே
உன் வாசம் தேடி அலைகிறேன்
Oh night that missed a gentle kiss
With your shirt beside me as my companion
I wander about searching for your fragrance
காதல் அது காலம் தந்த
புதையல் என கண்டு கொண்டேனே
பொல்லாத பெண்மை உடையுதே
I realized that love is like a smoke
Given to me as an addiction by time
My stubborn womanhood breaks down completely
களவாடும் கள்வனே
களவாடும் கள்வனே
Oh thief who steals my heart away
Oh thief who steals my heart away
ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்
இளமாலை வேளை நானும்
இசையோடு நீயும் வேண்டும்
மழலை போல் மனசு தேடுதடி
Hmmmmm mmm
In the quiet early evening hour
I need you along with sweet music
The mind searches innocently like a child, my dear girl
தரை மீது கால்கள் இல்லை
நடைபோடும் நாட்கள் மெல்ல
அருகாமை ஆவல் கூடுதடி
My feet no longer rest on the ground
As the days gently walk past
The yearning for closeness keeps growing, my dear girl
அறைகள் உன் வாசம் கேட்கும்
அதிகம் பேசாமல் நான்
அழகே நம் தொட்டிச் செடிகள்
உனக்கென பூக்குதே
எதிர்பார்த்தே ஏங்குதே
The empty rooms ask for your sweet fragrance
Without speaking too many words, I
My beauty, our potted plants are blooming just for you
Eagerly waiting and longing for your arrival
காதல் இணையே துணையே
காணும் பொருளில் உனையே
கண்கள் தேடும் நிலவே
வருவேன் உனக்கெனவே
Oh soulmate and companion of love
Seeing your reflection in everything I look at
Oh moon that my yearning eyes search for
I will come to you, solely for your sake
Hmm mm mm hmm mm mm
Hmm mm mm hmm mm mm
Yedhedho enakkul mayakkam
Some strange intoxication arises within me
Puriyaadha pudhiraai midhakkum
Floating like an incomprehensible puzzle
Pirivondril piriyum rasikkum
Finding pleasure even in the sorrow of separation
Thedal thodanguthada
A new search begins, my dear
Arugil nee atra tharunam
The moments when you are not near me
Azhagaai orr bodhai thaan
Are themselves a beautiful state of intoxication
Thalai kothi pesiya vaarthai
The words spoken while running fingers through hair
Ularal aaguthae
Have now turned into soft rambling
Un viralai theduthae
It keeps searching for your fingers
Sirumuththam kaanaa iravae
Oh night that missed a gentle kiss
Un sattai thunaiyaai arugae
With your shirt beside me as my companion
Un vaasam thedi alaigiren
I wander about searching for your fragrance
Kaadhal adhu kaalam thandha
I realized that love is like a smoke
Puhaiyal ena kandu kondenae
Given to me as an addiction by time
Pollaadha penmai udaiyudhae
My stubborn womanhood breaks down completely
Kalavaadum kalvanae
Oh thief who steals my heart away
Kalavaadum kalvanae
Oh thief who steals my heart away
Hmmmmm mmm
Hmmmmm mmm
Ilamaalai velai naanum
In the quiet early evening hour
Isaiyodu neeyum vendum
I need you along with sweet music
Mazhalai pol manasu theduthadi
The mind searches innocently like a child, my dear girl
Tharai meedhu kaalgal illai
My feet no longer rest on the ground
Nadaipodum naatkal mella
As the days gently walk past
Arugaamai aaval kooduthadi
The yearning for closeness keeps growing, my dear girl
Araigal un vaasam ketkum
The empty rooms ask for your sweet fragrance
Adhigam pesaamal naan
Without speaking too many words, I
Azhage nam thotti chedigal unakkena ..pookkuthae
My beauty, our potted plants are blooming just for you
Ethirpaarthae yenguthae
Eagerly waiting and longing for your arrival
Kaadhal inaiyae thunaiyae
Oh soulmate and companion of love
Kaanum porulil unaiyae
Seeing your reflection in everything I look at
Kangal thedum nilavae
Oh moon that my yearning eyes search for
Varuven unakkenavae
I will come to you, solely for your sake
