நீயாக அன்று
என்னை பார்த்ததும்
நீயாக பேசி போனதும்
நீ என்னை ஏற்று
ஒப்பு கொண்டதும்
மறக்காதே
On your own, back then
நிலாவை பார்க்க
ஆசை பட்டதும்
நிதானமாக
பார்வை விட்டதும்
நீயாக வந்து
முத்தம் இட்டதும்...ம்ம்
மறக்காதே
To look at the moon
Expressing a desire
Calmly and patiently
Casting your gaze
Coming over by yourself
And giving a kiss..mm
Do not forget
உன் போர்வையாக
என்னை போற்றி கொண்டதும்
பொறாமை கொண்டு
ஊரே பார்த்ததும்
As your blanket
Draping me around you
With envy
The whole town looking at us
நீ என் உலக அழகியே
உன்னை போல் ஒருத்தி இல்லையே
எதுவும் இன்னும் மறக்கவில்லையே
குழு :
ஓஒ ஹோ.....ஓஒ ஹோ....
You are my world's most beautiful girl
There is no one like you
I haven't forgotten anything yet
Chorus :Ooo hoooo…ooo hooo

……………………….
ஊர் தூங்கும்
நேரம் தினதோறும்
அந்த மொட்டை மாடி
சந்திப்பெல்லாம்
ஆஆ....வேண்டும் வேண்டும்
நடக்காதா மீண்டும்
When the town sleeps
Every day at that hour
On that open terrace
All those secret meetings
Aaaaaaa… I want them, I want them
Won't it happen again?
தூறிடும் நேரம்
சாலை ஓரம்
உந்தன் துப்பாட்டாவை
சுத்தி கொண்டோம்
ஊஉஉ......அந்த ஈரம்
கிடைக்காத மீண்டும்
When it drizzles
By the roadside
Your dupatta
We wrapped around ourselves
Uuuuuuu… that wetness
Will I not get to feel it again?
போகாதே என்று
உன்னை கெஞ்சி கேட்டதும்
நீ போன பின்பு
நான் புதைந்ததும்
Pleading with you not to leave
Begging you so
After you left
Me getting buried in grief
இன்னும் மறக்கவில்லையே
எதையும் மறக்கவில்லையே
எதுவும் இன்னும் மறக்கவில்லையே
குழு :
ஓஒ ஹோ.....ஓஒ ஹோ...
I still haven't forgotten
I haven't forgotten anything
Nothing has been forgotten yet
Chorus :Ooo hoooo…ooo hooo

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Marakkadhae' / 'Nee En Ulaga Azhagiyae' expresses deep nostalgia and heartfelt longing for past romantic memories.
