மனசுல மனசுல இருக்குற
நெனப்புல நெதம் நெதம் தவிக்குறேன்
கண்ணுக்குள்ள நுழைஞ்சு
உள்ளுக்குள்ள விரிஞ்சு
உசுரையும் எடுக்குறையே
You reside inside my heart, inside my heart
In thoughts of you, I yearn every single day
Entering inside my eyes
Expanding deep inside my soul
You take away my very life
நீ எதுக்கு கனவுல கனவுல மிரட்டுற
அழகுல தெருவையும் அதட்டுற
உன்னை எண்ணி
நான் இப்போ காத்தாகி போறேன்
Why do you intimidate me in my dreams?
You command even the streets with your beauty
Thinking of you
I am turning into the wind now
ஆத்தாடி நீ ஒரு திருடன்
ஊரோட பேச்சுல முரடன்
ஆனால் நீ உண்மையில் பேரழகன்
Oh my goodness, you are a thief
A rough guy in the town's gossip
But in truth, you are a stunning beauty
மனசுல மனசுல இருக்குற
மணலுள கயிறையும் திரிக்குற
கண்ணுக்குள்ள நுழைஞ்சு
உள்ளுக்குள்ள விரிஞ்சு
உசுரையும் மிதிக்கிறயே
You reside inside my heart, inside my heart
You even weave ropes out of sand
Entering inside my eyes
Expanding deep inside my soul
You trample upon my life
நீ எதுக்கு கனவுல கனவுல மெதக்குற
அழகுல தெருவையும் அதட்டுற
உன்னை எண்ணி
நான் இப்போ காத்தாகி போறேன்
Why do you float in my dreams, float in my dreams?
You command even the streets with your beauty
Thinking of you
I am turning into the wind now
ஆத்தாடி நீ ஒரு புழுகி
ஆளான நாள் முதல் மருகி
போகாத ஆசையில உருகி
Oh my goodness, you are a liar
Grieving ever since the day I came of age
Melting in relentless desire
சாம்புராணி நானும்
தூவ காலு நீயும்
கூட்டு சேர்ந்துடாம
வாழ்க்கை மணக்குமா
கோட்ட தாண்ட நானே
கூப்பிட்டாலும் கூட
கோவில் தேரு போல
தேங்கி கெடக்கலாமா
I am like the sambrani incense
And you are like the censer stand
If we do not unite together
Will our life be fragrant?
Even if I cross the boundaries
And call out to you myself
Like a temple chariot
Should you remain stagnant?
ஒன்னும் இல்ல சொல்ல எனக்கு
நான் ஒத்துகிட்ட வம்பு வழக்கு
விக்க விக்க தென்னன்கல்லு
நல்லதென்னு சொல்லுறது
ரொம்ப ரொம்ப தப்பு கணக்கு
I have nothing else to say
The conflict I accepted is trouble
Saying that coconut toddy that causes hiccups
Is good for health
Is a completely wrong calculation
ஆத்தாடி நீ ஒரு புழுகி
ஆளான நாள் முதல் மருகி
போகாத ஆசையில உருகி
Oh my goodness, you are a liar
Grieving ever since the day I came of age
Melting in relentless desire
காட்டு தீயே நான்
காதலோட பாத்து
வீட்டு தீபம் போல
நீயும் வணங்குற
I am like a wild forest fire
Looking at it with love
Like a household lamp
You worship it with reverence
ஆத்து நீரை ஏனோ
ஆசையோட பேசி
ஊத்து நீர போல
எதுக்கு குடிக்க போற
Talking with desire to the river water
Why are you going to drink it
Like it were fresh spring water?
Deep inside, I will think only of you
உள்ள மட்டும் உன்ன நெனைப்பேன்
நீ இல்லையினா செத்து தொலைப்பேன்
அன்னம் தண்ணி என்னதுக்கு
ஆத்தா அப்பன் என்னதுக்கு
நீ இருந்தா போதும் எனக்கு
If you are not there, I will die and be gone
Why do I need food and water?
Why do I need mother and father?
Having you is enough for me
Oh my goodness, you are a thief
ஆத்தாடி நீ ஒரு திருடன்
ஊரோட பேச்சுல முரடன்
ஆனால் நீ உண்மையில் பேரழகன்
A rough guy in the town's gossip
But in truth, you are a stunning beauty
You reside inside my heart, inside my heart
மனசுல மனசுல இருக்குற
மணலுள கயிறையும் திரிக்குற
கண்ணுக்குள்ள நுழைஞ்சு
உள்ளுக்குள்ள விரிஞ்சு
உசுரையும் எடுக்குறையே
You even weave ropes out of sand
