மெதுவா மெதுவா
மெதுவா நீயே சொல் இது
தான் முதல் நாள் உறவா
Slowly, slowly, slowly
You tell me
Is this the relationship of the first day?
மெதுவா மெதுவா
மெதுவா நீயே சொல் இது
தான் பல நாள் கனவா
Slowly, slowly, slowly
You tell me
Is this a dream of many days?
இதுவா இதுவா
இதுவா நம் காதல்
தொடங்கும் திருநாள்
இதுவா
Is it this? Is it this? Is it this?
Our love begins
Is this the auspicious day?
கேள்வியே
ஏனடா காதலை
போய் கேளடா
Why these questions, my dear?
Go and ask love itself, my dear
மெதுவா மெதுவா
மெதுவா நீயே சொல் இது
தான் முதல் நாள் உறவா
Slowly, slowly, slowly
You tell me
Is this the relationship of the first day?
நாம் சொல்வதும்
நாம் கேட்பதும் அறிவார்
அறிவார் எவரோ
What we say
What we hear
Who knows, who knows really?
ஆண் காதலும்
பெண் காதலும் உலகார்
அறியாதவரோ
Man's love
And woman's love
Is it wrong for the world to know?
வணக்கத்துக்குரிய
உறவே இதுவே சிறை புகுந்து
விட்டால் இமையே கதவே
Worthy of respect
Is this relationship
She has entered into a prison
Eyelids are the doors
இமை இடைவெளியில்
உனை நான் ரசிப்பேன்
இமை கடந்த பின்னே
எதை நான் ருசிப்பேன்
In the tiny gap between eyelids
I will admire you
Beyond the blink of eyelids
What else will I savor?
இதை போல்
வேறு ஒரு நோய்
இல்லையடி என்
தாயே ஆஹா
Like this, another
Disease does not exist, my girl
My motherly love... aahaa...
மெதுவா
மெதுவா மெதுவா
நீயே சொல் இது
தான் முதல் நாள் உறவா
Slowly, slowly, slowly
Male: You tell me
Is this the relationship of the first day?

உன் தோட்டத்தில்
என் ஞாபகம் விதையா
மரமா விழுதா
In your garden
My memory
Is it a seed, a tree, or prop roots?
உன் நெஞ்சினில்
என் ஞாபகம் வரவா
செலவா கடனா
In your heart
My memory
Is it income, expense, or a debt?
கடன் தருவதற்கே
உனை நான் தொடர்ந்தேன்
முதல் தவணையிலே
முழுதாய் இழந்தேன்
Just to give a loan
I followed you
At the very first installment
I lost myself completely
உனை இழந்த
பின்னே எதை நான்
பெறுவேன் இனி
இழப்பதற்கு எதை
நான் தருவேன்
After losing you
What else will I gain?
Now to lose
What else do I have to give?
நமைபோல்
வேறு ஒரு நாம் இல்லை
இனி வா வா வா ஆஆ
Like us
There is no other 'us' anymore
Come, come, come.. aah...
