Hey, I am like a parrot indeed

She locked my heart in a cage
Hey, I am like a cuckoo indeed
Even I

அவள பாத்த
போது என் பாதி உசுர
பாத்தேன் உயிரும்
உயிரும் பேசும்
பாஷையே மூச்சுகுள்ளே
கேட்டேன்
When I saw her
I saw half of my life
The language spoken soul to soul
I heard within my breath
அவ எதிரே
வந்து நின்னா என் மீதி
உசுர தருவேன் பார்வ
படுகிற தூரம் போதுமே
பக்தன் போல கெடப்பேன்
If she comes and stands in front of me
I will give the rest of my life
Just the distance within her gaze is enough
I will lie there like a devotee
அவ சிரிச்சா
வெளிச்சம் உருவாகும்
அவ எமிச்சா உலகம்
இருட்டாகும்
When she smiles, light
Will be created
The world she looks upon
Will darken without her
அவ பாத்தா
போதும் பசி போகும்
அவ இருக்கும் திசையே
அழகாகும்
Just looking at her
Hunger disappears
The direction where she stays
Becomes beautiful
ரெண்டு நொடிக்கு
மேல் நடுவு கூட நான்
அவள நெனைக்கிறேனே
For more than two seconds
Even in the middle of everything
I keep thinking of her...
கிளியே கிளியே

குயிலே கூ கூ குயிலே
Parrot, oh parrot

சிரிப்பு அழகு சில பொண்ணு
பேச்சு அழகு திமுரு கூட ஒரு
அழகு என்று நான் அவள
பார்த்து அறிஞ்சேன்
Some girls' smile is beautiful
Some girls' speech is beautiful
That even arrogance can be a form of beauty
I realized by looking at her
சில பொண்ணு
பாக்க அழகு சில பொண்ணு
பழக அழகு ரெண்டு அழகுமே
ஒன்னு சேர்ந்ததா அவள
நானும் பாத்தேன்
Some girls are beautiful to look at
Some girls are beautiful to get along with
As a combination of both beauties
I saw her
அவ கொடைய
மறந்து வரும் போது
நான் மழைய ரசிக்க
மாட்டேனே
When she forgets her umbrella
And walks out
I will not enjoy
The rain
என் நிழல்தான்
அவ மேல் விழும்போதும்
நான் வெயில வெறுக்க
மாட்டேனே
When my shadow
Falls upon her
I will not despise
The heat of the sun
என்ன மாத்தினா
ரத்த ஓட்டத்தில்
தேன ஊத்தினாளே
She transformed me
Into my bloodstream
She poured honey...
கிளியே கிளியே
கீ கீ கிளியே குயிலே
குயிலே கூ கூ குயிலே
ஹோ ஹோய்
