மனசு மருகுதே
கனவு உருகுதே
எதுக்கு தெரியுமா
எனக்கு தெரியல
The heart is aching
The dream is melting
Do you know why?
I don't know
வியர்வை வழியுதே
விரல்கள் பதருதே
எதுக்கு தெரியுமா
எனக்கு தெரியல
Sweat is dripping
Fingers are trembling
Do you know why?
I don't know
தாகம் எடுக்குதா....
தனிமை பிடிக்குதா....
எனக்கு தெரியல
இருவர் :
விவரம் புரியல
Am I feeling thirsty?
Do I like solitude?
I don't know
Both: I don't understand details
ம்ம்...மனசு மருகுதே
கனவு உருகுதே....
Mmm.. The heart is aching
The dream is melting...
பார்வையை பருகி
தூங்குறேன்
விலகிபோகையில் ஏங்குறேன்
காதல் தொடங்கும் நேரம்
உள்ளே உச்சி வெயில் அடிக்கிறதே
Drinking in your gaze
I sleep
When moving away, I long for you
When love begins
The intense midday sun strikes inside
கையில் கைய சிக்க வெச்சி
கண்ணும் கண்ணும் முட்டிகிச்சு
உலகம் உடலில் பதுங்குதே....
Entangling hand in hand
Eyes collided with eyes
The world hides within the body..
எதுக்கு தெரியல
விவரம் புரியல
Is it love?
Is it youthful desire?
It is a question of confusion
I don't like it
When shyness spreads
Gently, the nerves
Are shivering
காதலா
பருவ ஆசைய
குழப்பம் கேள்வியே
பிடிக்கல
நானும் பரவும் போது
மெல்ல நரம்புகள்
நடுகிடுதே
From deep within
A pain
Silently subsides
Light feels like fear
It feels so...
உள் இருந்து
ஒரு வலி
சத்தமின்றி அடங்குது
வெளிச்சம் பயமாய்
இருக்குதே....
The heart is aching
The dream is melting
Do you know why?
I don't know
எதுக்கு தெரியல
விவரம் புரியல
Sweat is dripping
Fingers are trembling
Do you know why?... Ah..
I don't know
மனசு மருகுதே
கனவு உருகுதே
எதுக்கு தெரியுமா
எனக்கு தெரியல
வியர்வை வழியுதே
விரல்கள் பதருதே
எதுக்கு தெரியுமா...ஆ...
எனக்கு தெரியல

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song portrays the sweet confusion, anxiety, and heightened physical awareness that comes with the awakening of first love in adolescence. The lyrics convey a innocence where the protagonist experiences symptoms like sweating, trembling nerves, and restlessness, yet remains unable to fully articulate whether these feelings stem from love or youthful infatuation.
