மனசுல மனசுல
இருவர் :
ஒரு மாதிரியா இருக்கு
நெனப்புல நெனப்புல
இருவர் :
அது புது விதமா இருக்கு
Inside the heart, inside the heart
It feels a strange, indescribable way
In the thoughts, in the thoughts
It feels like a brand new experience
மனசுல மனசுல
ஒரு மாதிரியா இருக்கு
நெனப்புல நெனப்புல
அது புது விதமா இருக்கு
Inside the heart, inside the heart
It feels a strange, indescribable way
In the thoughts, in the thoughts
It feels like a brand new experience
தன் வழியே நடக்கிறதா
இல்ல வழிவிட்டு வெலகிடுதா
தனிமைக்கு துணைய தேடனுமா
போகிற போக்கில் போகணுமா
Is it walking along its own path?
Or is it stepping aside and moving out of the way?
Should one seek companionship for loneliness?
Or should one just go along with the flow?
மனசுல மனசுல
ஒரு மாதிரியா இருக்கு
நெனப்புல நெனப்புல

சிட்டு ரெண்டு எரை எடுக்க
வட்டம் இட்டு செறகடிக்கும்
செறகடிக்கும் செறகடிக்கும்
சுத்தி சுத்தி திரிஞ்ச பின்னே
கூட்டில் ஒண்ணா குடி இருக்கும்
குடி இருக்கும் குடி இருக்கும்
Two little birds foraging for food
Circling around and flapping their wings
Flapping their wings, flapping their wings
After wandering around and around
They live together in a single nest
Live together, live together
தனியா இருந்தது போதாதா
துணை ஒண்ணு இனஞ்சா ஆகாதா
குருவிய போல் வாழ்வமையாதா
மனமிருந்தா அது கெடைக்காதா
Wasn't living alone enough?
Wouldn't joining with a companion be better?
Won't life be settled like that of sparrows?
If the heart desires, won't it be achieved?
நல்லதுன்னு சொல்லுதம்மா
என் மனசு முடிவாக
It says that it is a good thing
My heart says so conclusively
மனசுல மனசுல
ஒரு மாதிரியா இருக்கு
நெனப்புல நெனப்புல
அது புது விதமா இருக்கு
Inside the heart, inside the heart
It feels a strange, indescribable way
In the thoughts, in the thoughts
It feels like a brand new experience
தன் வழியே நடக்கிறதா
இல்ல வழிவிட்டு வெலகிடுதா
தனிமைக்கு துணைய தேடனுமா
போகிற போக்கில் போகணுமா
Is it walking along its own path?
Or is it stepping aside and moving out of the way?
Should one seek companionship for loneliness?
Or should one just go along with the flow?
