ஹேய் கண்மணி
அன்போடு காதலன்
நான் ஏங்குறேனடி
Hey darling
With affection, your lover
I am yearning, my dear

நான் சாகுறேனடி
Hey precious jewel
It is only because of you
That I am dying, my dear
ஹேய் ஹேய் எஹ் எஹ் எஹ்
ஹேய் கண்மணி
அன்போடு காதலன்
நான் ஏங்குறேனடி
பொன்மணி
உன்னால தானடி
நான் சாகுறேனடி
Heyy hey eh eh eh
Hey darling
With affection, your lover
I am yearning, my dear
Hey precious jewel
It is only because of you
That I am dying, my dear
உன்னை எண்ணி பார்க்கையில்
தல சுத்துதடி
உன்னை மறக்க நினைக்கையில்
வாழ்க்கை முட்டுதடி
When I think of you
My head spins, my dear
When I try to forget you
Life hits a dead end, my dear
உன்னை எண்ணி பார்க்கையில்
தல சுத்துதடி
உன்னை மறக்க நினைக்கையில்
வாழ்க்கை முட்டுதடி

..............................
அபிராமியே தாலாட்டும் சாமியே
நான்தானே தெரியுமா....
சிவகாமியே.....
சிவனில் நீயும் பாதியே....
அதுவும் உனக்கு புரியுமா.....
Oh Abirami, goddess who sings a lullaby...
Do you know that it is me...
Oh Sivagami..
You are the half of Shiva...
Do you understand even that...
உண்டான காதல் என்றும்
தன்னாலே மாறி போன
மாயம் என்ன
பொன்மானே பொன்மானே
ஒஹ்ஹொஹ்.....
எந்தன் காதல் ஆனபோதும்
தன்னாலே மாறி போகும்
உந்தன் காதல்
மாறாது செந்தேனே
The love that was once born,
What is the magic that caused it to change on its own?
Oh golden deer, golden deer
Ohhhhh…
Even when my love was warm and pure
It changes on its own
Your love
Will not change, my sweet honey...
Unable to express what my love is,
எந்தன் காதல் என்னவென்று
சொல்லாமல் ஏங்க ஏங்க
அழுகை வந்தது......
As I yearned in silence,
Tears started to flow...
Realizing my sorrow might hurt you,
எந்தன் சோகம் உன்னை தாக்கும்
என்றென்னும் போது வந்த
அழுகை நின்றது.......
Whenever I thought of that,
My tears suddenly stopped...
மனிதர் உணர்ந்து கொள்ள
இது மனித காதலல்ல
மனிதர் உணர்ந்து கொள்ள
இது மனித காதலல்ல
அதையும் தாண்டி புனிதமானது
அதையும் தாண்டி புனிதமானது
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :
அபிராமியே தாலாட்டும் சாமியே
நான்தானே தெரியுமா....
சிவகாமியே.....
சிவனில் நீயும் பாதியே....
அதுவும் உனக்கு புரியுமா.....
