கண்ணோரமாய் கதை பேசு
காதல் அம்பை நீ வீசு
தேவலோகம் உன் ஊரா
தென்றல் என்பதுன் பேரா
Speak stories from the corner of your eyes
Shoot your arrows of love
Male: Is the heavenly world your hometown?
Is breeze your name?
வில்லை ஏந்திடும் வீரா
வேட்டையாட வந்தீரா
அடடா காதல் போரிலே வீரன் மனதினை
பூக்கள் பறித்திடும் மாயம் என்ன
காதல் தேரினில் மன்னன் மடியினில்
நிலவு சாய்ந்திடும் மாயம் என்ன
Oh warrior holding a bow,
Did you come to hunt?
Male: Ah, in the war of love, what magic is it
That flowers pluck a warrior's heart?
Female: In the chariot of love, on the king's lap,
What magic is it that the moon leans?
கண்ணோரமாய் கதை பேசு
காதல் அம்பை நீ வீசு
Speak stories from the corner of your eyes
Shoot your arrows of love
கொஞ்சிப் பேசும் உந்தன் வார்த்தை வேதம்
கொஞ்சும் வளையல் ஓசை காதல் கீதம்
அன்பின் அருவியே.......கண்களானதோ...
Your affectionate words are like holy scripture
The sound of your jingling bangles is a love song
Oh waterfall of love... did it turn into your eyes?
சின்ன பார்வை ஒன்று மட்டும் போதும்
எந்தன் வாழ்வின் தேவை இன்று தீரும்
அமுதசுரபியே.....உள்ளமானதோ........
Just one little glance is enough
The needs of my life will be fulfilled today
Oh inexhaustible vessel of nectar... did it turn into your heart?
உள்ளங்கையில்தான் அன்பே
உன் முகம் பார்த்தேனே
உயிரின் நிழலாக அன்பே
உன்னைப் பார்த்தேனே
ஒரு கோடி காலம் வாழ உன் மடி கேட்டேனே
Right in the palm of my hand, my love,
I saw your face
Female: As the shadow of my soul, my love,
I looked at you
To live for ten million years, I begged for your lap
கண்ணோரமாய் கதை பேசு
காதல் அம்பை நீ வீசு
Speak stories from the corner of your eyes
Male: Shoot your arrows of love
வாசம் கேட்டு பூக்கள் உன்னை கெஞ்சும்
வண்ணம் கேட்டு வானவில்லும் கெஞ்சும்
உள்ளம் கேட்டு நான்.....உன்னை கெஞ்சினேன்
Inquiring about fragrance, flowers pamper you
Inquiring about colors, the rainbow begs you
Asking for your heart... I begged you
மேகம் உந்தன் நெஞ்சின் ஈரம் கேட்கும்
மின்னல் உந்தன் மின்னும் சிரிப்பை கேட்கும்
நானும் வாழவே....உன்னைக் கேட்கிறேன்
The cloud asks for the moisture of your heart
The lightning asks for your glittering smile
For me to live too... I am asking you
உலகின் அழகெல்லாம் அன்பே
உன்னில் பார்த்திடவா
இதயத் துடிப்பெல்லாம் அன்பே
உன் பெயர் கேட்டிடவா
என்னுயிரே நீயாய் ஆனால்
மரணம் ஜெயித்திடுவேன்
All the beauty of the world, my love,
Shall I see it inside you?
Female: In every heartbeat, my love,
Shall I hear your name?
Male: If my very soul becomes you,
I will conquer death itself
