கண்ணுக்குள்
ஏதோ கண்ணுக்குள்
ஏதோ கனவுகள் தட்டி
தட்டி திறக்கிறதே
நெஞ்சுக்குள் ஏதோ
நெஞ்சுக்குள் ஏதோ
காலடி சத்தம் ஒன்று
கேட்கிறதே
Something in my eyes...
Something in my eyes...
Dreams are knocking and opening up.
Something in my heart...
Something in my heart...
A sound of footsteps is being heard.
உன் உயிர் வந்து
எந்தன் உயிர் தொட்டது
என் உலகமே உன்னால்
மாறி விட்டது
கண்ணே சொல்
இது தான் காதல் என்பதா
Your soul came
And touched my soul.
My entire world, because of you,
Has changed completely.
Female: Tell me dear, is this
What they call love?

காதல் வந்து
கெடுத்த பின்
கவிதைகள்
படிக்கிறேன்
தோழிகளை
தவிர்கிறேன் உன்னை
தேடி வருகிறேன்
After love arrived and ruined me,
I am reading poetry.
Female: I avoid my friends,
I come searching for you.
தாய் தந்தை
இருந்தும் ஏன்
தனிமையில்
தவிக்கிறேன்
சொந்தமாய் நீ
வா பிழைக்கிறேன்
Despite having parents, why
Am I struggling in solitude?
Come as my own, I will survive.
Female: Thinking of myself as belonging to my family
Until yesterday,
I now wish to move into your home.
எந்தன் வீட்டு
சொந்தம் என்று நேற்று
வரை நினைத்தவள்
உன் வீட்டில் குடி வர
நினைக்கிறேன்
The moment I fell in love with you,
I entered into you.
உன்னை
காதலித்த கணமே
உனக்குள் வந்தேன்
Something in my eyes...
Something in my eyes...
Dreams are knocking and opening up.
Aaa…aaa…aaa….aa…..
கண்ணுக்குள்
ஏதோ கண்ணுக்குள்
ஏதோ கனவுகள் தட்டி
தட்டி திறக்கிறதே ஆஆ
ஆஆ ஆஆ ஆஆ
If you appear in my dreams,
I take a photograph.
Female: These are not mere dreams here,
I am thinking of you with eyes wide open.
கனவிலே நீயும்
வந்தால் புகைப்படம்
எடுக்கிறேன்
கனவுகள் இங்கு
இல்லை கண் விழித்து
நினைக்கிறேன்
Girl, as for me,
I will never forget you.
Only if I forgot could I remember you!
Female: My love, while I am here,
Let your breath touch me,
So that I may be reborn immediately.
பெண்ணே நானோ
உன்னை என்றும்
மறப்பது இல்லையடி
மறந்தால் தானே நினைத்திட
அன்பே நானோ
இருக்கையில் உந்தன்
சுவாசம் தீண்டட்டும்
உடனே நானும் பிறந்திட
In true love,
There is no death.
உண்மை
காதலில் சாதல்
இல்லையடி
Something in my eyes...
Something in my eyes...
Dreams are knocking and opening up.
Female: Something in my heart...
Something in my heart...
A sound of footsteps is being heard.
