என் கன்னக்குழி அழகே
என் கண்ணுல நிக்குறியே
உன் முட்டை கண்ணுக்குள்ளதான்
என்னை வச்சி நீ மூடுறியே
My dimpled beauty,
You stand right before my eyes,
Inside your big round eyes,
You keep me trapped inside.
கனவெல்லாம் நீதானே
உன் உறவாக வருவேனே
நகல் இல்லா அசல் கண்மணியே
என் பகல் எல்லாம் வரும் வெண்மதியே
You are all my dreams,
I will come to be your partner,
My genuine darling with no substitute,
My white moon that shines even in my daylight,
என் கன்னக்குழி அழகே
என் கண்ணுல நிக்குறியே
உன் முட்டை கண்ணுக்குள்ளதான்
என்னை வச்சி நீ மூடுறியே
My dimpled beauty,
You stand right before my eyes,
Inside your big round eyes,
You keep me trapped inside.
ஆ... ஆ.....ஆ......ஆ.....ஆ....

தூரம் போன மேகம் கூட
தேடி வந்து மழைதூர
நேரம் பார்த்து காதல சொல்ல
அடிகடி மனசு அலைமோத
Even a cloud that went far away,
Seeks its way back to shower rain,
To express love watching for the right moment,
My heart frequently surges with emotion.
சின்ன கற்பனை ஒன்னு நெஞ்சுல நின்னு
சத்தமா கத்துதம்மா
இந்த தற்குறி மண்ணும் தங்கமா மின்னும்
சந்தர்ப்பம் வந்ததம்மா
A small fantasy residing in my heart,
Is shouting out loud!
Even this foolish soul shines like gold now,
The right opportunity has arrived!
மெதுவா முழுங்க வா
உயிரா நெருங்கி வா
உயிரா நெருங்கி வா
Come, devour me slowly,
Come close as my very soul,
Come close as my very soul.
என் கன்னக்குழி அழகே
என் கண்ணுல நிக்குறியே
உன் முட்டை கண்ணுக்குள்ளதான்
என்னை வச்சி நீ மூடுறியே
My dimpled beauty,
You stand right before my eyes,
Inside your big round eyes,
You keep me trapped inside.
கனவெல்லாம் நீதானே
உன் உறவாக வருவேனே
நகல் இல்லா அசல் கண்மணியே
என் பகல் எல்லாம் வரும் வெண்மதியே
You are all my dreams,
I will come to be your partner,
My genuine darling with no substitute,
My white moon that shines even in my daylight,
ஆஅ.....ஆ.....ஆ......ஆ.....
என் கன்னக்குழி அழகே
என் கண்ணுல நிக்குறியே
உன் முட்டை கண்ணுக்குள்ளதான்
என்னை வச்சி நீ மூடுறியே
Aaa... aa... aa... aa... aa...
