ஹ்ம் ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம் ஹாஹாஹா
மேகம் கறுக்காதா பெண்ணே பெண்ணே
சாரல் அடிக்காதா பெண்ணே பெண்ணே
தேகம் நனையாதா பெண்ணே பெண்ணே
தீயும் அணையாதா பெண்ணே பெண்ணே
Hm hmm hahahaha
Oh girl, oh girl, like a cloud that doesn't darken
Oh girl, oh girl, like a drizzle that doesn't hit hard
Oh girl, oh girl, without soaking the body completely
Oh girl, oh girl, without extinguishing the inner fire
கண்பாஷை பேசினால்
நான் என்ன செய்வேன்
கன்ஃப்யூஷன் ஆகுறேன் உள்ளுக்குள்ளே
If you speak using the language of your eyes
What will I ever do?
I get confused deep inside me
பறக்க பறக்க துடிக்குதே
பழக பழக பிடிக்குதே
பழைய ரணங்கள் மறக்குதே
பெண் தோகை வருடுதே
My heart yearns to fly and fly
The more I get to know you, the more I like it
Old emotional wounds begin to fade away
A female peacock feather caresses me softly
பறக்க பறக்க
பழக பழக
பழைய ரணங்கள்
பெண் தோகை வருடுதே
To fly, to fly
To get closer, to get closer
The old wounds
A female peacock feather caresses me softly
மேகம் கறுக்காதா பெண்ணே பெண்ணே
சாரல் அடிக்காதா பெண்ணே பெண்ணே
Oh girl, oh girl, like a cloud that doesn't darken
Oh girl, oh girl, like a drizzle that doesn't hit hard
ஹ்ம் ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம் ஹாஹாஹா
Hm hmm hahahaha
Before the drizzle touches the soil
I can sense the fragrance
Which can turn even bare soil into a beautiful doll
I witness such gentle affection
A little bit more, a little bit more
I keep asking for
மண்ணை தூறல் தீண்டும் முன்னே
வாசம் பார்க்கிறேன்
மண்ணை கூட பொம்மை ஆக்கும்
நேசம் பார்க்கிறேன்
இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் இன்னும் கொஞ்சம்
என்று கேட்கிறேன்
Little by little
More and more
I keep asking for
கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சம்
இன்னும் இன்னும்
என்று கேட்கிறேன்
All the sorrow that lived together with me
I try to watch it float away into the wind
Along whichever path my feet walk
I just go along
A door that remained closed inside me opens up shyly
In whichever direction life takes its course
I just go along
என்னோடு சேர்ந்து வாழும் சோகம் எல்லாம்
காற்றில் போக பார்க்கிறேன்
கால்கள் போன பாதை எல்லாம்
நான் போகிறேன்
என்னுளே மூடி இருந்த கதவு ஒன்று
வெட்கப்பட்டு திறக்கிறேன்
வாழ்க்கை போகும் போக்கில் எல்லாம்
நான் போகிறேன்
If you speak using the language of your eyes
What will I ever do?
I get confused deep inside me
கண்பாஷை பேசினால்
நான் என்ன செய்வேன்
கன்ஃப்யூஷன் ஆகுறேன் உள்ளுக்குள்ளே
