கொஞ்சி பேசிட வேணாம்
When I call you, wash your face, put on a bindi, and come.
உன் கண்ணே பேசுதடி
Shhh, little one... (Dialogue)
கொஞ்சமாக பாா்த்தா
No need to speak with sweet words, your eyes themselves speak, my girl.
When you look at me just a little, a gentle drizzle of rain blows over me, my girl.
மழைசாரல் வீசுதடி
No need to speak with sweet words, your eyes themselves speak, my dear man.
When you look at me just a little, a gentle drizzle of rain blows over me, my dear man.
நான் நின்னா நடந்தா கண்ணு
Does desire cast a net? Does the heart fall into it?
Even when trying to rise, my love,
Does it keep falling back into it?
உன் முகமே கேட்குதடி
Does loneliness burn you?
Does memory give off heat like fire?
In all the flowers embroidered on the pillow,
Does the fragrance of your tresses linger?
அடி தொலைவில இருந்தாதானே
Hey woman, either carry the child or hold the bag, why are you just standing and staring...
பெருங்காதல் கூடுதடி
Who will carry this? Your father?
தூரமே தூரமாய் போகும் நேரம்
No need to speak with sweet words, your eyes themselves speak, my girl.
கொஞ்சி பேசிட வேணாம்
When you look at me just a little, a gentle drizzle of rain blows over me, my dear man.
உன் கண்ணே பேசுதடா
கொஞ்சமாக பாா்த்தா
மழைசாரல் வீசுதடா
நான் நின்னா நடந்தா கண்ணு
உன் முகமே கேட்குதடா
அட தொலைவில இருந்தாதானா
பெருங்காதல் கூடுதடா
தூரமே தூரமாய் போகும் நேரம்
ஆச வலையிடுதா
நெஞ்சம் அதில் விழுதா
எழுந்திடும் போதும் அன்பே
மீண்டும் விழுந்திடுதா
தனிமை உனை சுடுதா
நினைவில் அனல் தருதா
தலையணைப் பூக்களிலெல்லாம்
கூந்தல் மணம் வருதா
குறு குறு பாா்வையால் கொஞ்சம் கடத்துறியே
குளிருக்கும் நெருப்புக்கும் நடுவுல நிறுத்துறியே
ஆண் & பெண் :
வேறு என்ன வேணும்
மேகல் மழை வேணும்
சத்தம் இல்லா முத்தம் தர வேணும்….
கொஞ்சி பேசிட வேணாம்
உன் கண்ணே பேசுதடி
கொஞ்சமாக பாா்த்தா
மழைசாரல் வீசுதடா
கொஞ்சி பேசிட வேணாம்
உன் கண்ணே பேசுதடா
கொஞ்சமாக பாா்த்தா
மழைசாரல் வீசுதடா
Nan call panrenona moonja kaluvi pottu vechitu vanthitu
