கண்ணுக்குள்ள
வச்சுருக்கேன் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள
தச்சுருக்கேன் மூச்சு காத்தில்
நான் கலக்க வாறேனே
I have kept you inside my eyes
I have stitched you inside my heart
In the breath of air
I am coming to mix
என்ன கொல்லும்
உன் நினைப்ப உள்ளுக்குள்ள
பத்திரமா சேத்து வச்சு
சொத்தெழுதி தாறேனே
That kills me
Your memory
Safely deep inside
I will accumulate and write it off as property to you
அடியோட என்
மனச மடியோட சாச்சவளே
இங்க என்கிட்ட இருக்கும்
உசுரையும்தான் அடி
இப்போதே உனக்கு
தாரேன் வாரியா
My heart, entirely from its root
O girl who made it lean on your lap
Even the very life that resides in me here
Oh girl, I will give it to you right now, will you come?
கண்ணுக்குள்ள
வச்சுருக்கேன் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள
தச்சுருக்கேன் மூச்சு காத்தில்
நான் கலக்க வாறேனே
I have kept you inside my eyes
I have stitched you inside my heart
In the breath of air
I am coming to mix
என்ன கொல்லும்
உன் நினைப்ப உள்ளுக்குள்ள
பத்திரமா சேத்து வச்சு
சொத்தெழுதி தாறேனே
That kills me
Your memory
Safely deep inside
I will accumulate and write it off as property to you
ஒன்ன நான்
சுத்தி பாக்கணுமே
சொக்கித்தான் நெத்தி
வேர்க்கணுமே
I want to circle around you and look at you
Mesmerized, my forehead should sweat
எங்க ஒம்புத்தி
போகுறதோ என்ன நீ
கொஞ்சம் ஆள விடு
Where does all my sanity go?
Leave me alone for a little while
ஆசையா நெருங்கயுல
லேசா நீ ஒதுங்கிறியே
When I approach with desire
You lightly pull away
நான் உன்ன
சேர்ந்திடும் நேரத்துல
நம் தூரமும் ஓடுமே
தூரத்துல துளி வேர்
விடுற நெஞ்சு ஈரத்துல
At the moment I join with you
The distance between us will run far away
In the moisture of the heart where roots take hold
நீயும் கண்ணீரை
சிந்துனா நானும் வாடுவேன்
If you shed tears
I too will wither away..
கண்ணுக்குள்ள
வச்சுருக்கேன் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள
தச்சுருக்கேன் மூச்சு காத்தில்
நான் கலக்க வாறேனே
I have kept you inside my eyes
I have stitched you inside my heart
In the breath of air
I am coming to mix
ஆஹான்
Ahaan..
என்ன கொல்லும்
உன் நினைப்ப உள்ளுக்குள்ள
பத்திரமா சேத்து வச்சு
சொத்தெழுதி தாறேனே
That kills me
Your memory
Safely deep inside
I will accumulate and write it off as property to you
உச்சி மோந்து
நான் பாக்கையில
நெஞ்சில் ஆசையும்
ஊறுதடி
When I kiss the top of your head and look at you
Desire wells up in my heart, dear girl
பொத்தி நான்
வெச்ச ஆசையெல்லாம்
முத்தம் நீ தந்தா தீருமடா
All the desires I have kept safe and hidden
Will be satisfied if you give a kiss, my dear
பாசமா மொறைக்கிறியே
கோவமா அணைக்கிறியே
You glare with affection
You embrace with anger
என் கண்ணு
நீயின்னு ஆன பின்னே
நான் பாக்குற வேறெந்த
ஆணும் பெண்ணே எங்க
போகையிலும் நீயும்
வேணும் முன்னே
After you became my eyes
Any other person I look at feels indifferent
Wherever I go, I need you before me
இந்த ஜென்மத்தில்
உன்மத்தம் உன்மேல்
ஆகுறேன்
In this lifetime, madness
I am developing over you…
