மனம் விரும்புதே உன்னை... உன்னை
மனம் விரும்புதே
உறங்காமலே கண்ணும் கண்ணும்
சண்டை போடுதே
My heart desires you, only you
My heart desires
Without falling asleep, my eyes
Are fighting with each other
நினைத்தாலே சுகம்தானடா
நெஞ்சில் உன் முகம்தானடா
அய்யய்யோ மறந்தேனடா
உன் பேரே தெரியாதடா
Just thinking of you brings pure bliss
Your face is imprinted in my heart
Oh dear, I forgot!
I do not even know your name...
மனம் விரும்புதே உன்னை... உன்னை
மனம் விரும்புதே
My heart desires you, only you
My heart desires
அடடா நீ ஒரு பார்வை பார்த்தாய்
அழகாய்த்தான் ஒரு புன்னகை பூத்தாய்
அடிநெஞ்சில் ஒரு மின்னல் வெட்டியது
குழு :
வெட்டியது
Oh my, you cast a single glance
And beautifully, a smile blossomed
Lightning struck deep inside my heart
Chorus: Struck!
அதிலே என் மனம் தெளியும் முன்னே
அன்பே உந்தன் அழகு முகத்தை
யார் வந்தென் இளமார்பில் ஒட்டியது
குழு :
ஒட்டியது
Before my mind could recover from that shock
My love, your beautiful face...
Who came and pasted it on my tender chest?
Chorus: Pasted it!
புயல் வந்து போனதொரு வனமாய்
ஆனதடா என்னுள்ளம்
என் நெஞ்சில் உனது கரம் வைத்தால்
என் நிலைமை அது சொல்லும்
Like a forest after a storm has passed
My inner heart has become disheveled
If you place your hand on my heart
It will tell you my state of mind
மனம் ஏங்குதே... ஏ....
மனம் ஏங்குதே....
மீண்டும் காண.... மனம் ஏங்குதே...
My heart yearns...
My heart yearns...
To see you again... my heart yearns...
நினைத்தாலே சுகம்தானடா
நெஞ்சில் உன் முகம்தானடா
அய்யய்யோ மறந்தேனடா
உன் பேரே தெரியாதடா
Just thinking of you brings pure bliss
Your face is imprinted in my heart
Oh dear, I forgot!
I do not even know your name...
அஹ..மனம் விரும்புதே
மனம் விரும்புதே உன்னை உன்னை
மனம் விரும்புதே உன்னை உன்னை
மனம் விரும்புதே
Ah... my heart desires
My heart desires you, only you
My heart desires you, only you
My heart desires...
மழையோடு நான் கரைந்ததுமில்லை
வெயிலோடு நான் உருகியதில்லை
பாறை போல் என்னுள்ளம் இருந்ததடா
குழு :
இருந்ததடா
I never dissolved in the rain
I never melted under the heat of the sun
My inner heart used to be like a solid rock
Chorus: Like a rock!
மலைநாட்டுக் கரும்பாறை மேலே
தலை காட்டும் சிறு பூவைப்போலே
பொல்லாத இளங்காதல் பூத்ததடா
குழு :
பூத்ததடா
Upon a dark rock in the mountain country
Like a tiny flower popping its head up
Mischievous young love has blossomed
Chorus: Blossomed!
சட்டென்று சலனம் வருமென்று
ஜாதகத்தில் சொல்லலையே...
நெஞ்சோடு காதல் வருமென்று
நேற்றுவரை நம்பலையே
That a sudden turmoil would come my way
Was never predicted in my horoscope
That love would take over my heart
I did not believe until yesterday
என் காதலா...ஆஆ
என் காதலா.....
நீ வா நீ வா என் காதலா...
Oh my lover...
Oh my lover...
Come to me, come... oh my lover...
நினைத்தாலே சுகம்தானடா
நெஞ்சில் உன் முகம்தானடா
அய்யய்யோ மறந்தேனடா
உன் பேரே தெரியாதடா...ஆஆ...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Manam Virumbuthae is a celebrated romantic track expressing the overwhelming experience of falling in love at first sight. The protagonist is completely enchanted by a brief encounter with a stranger whose name she does not even know. Her thoughts are occupied by the stranger's gaze and smile, leaving her sleepless and restless as if a sudden storm has transformed her once stoic, rock-like heart.
