↻ English translation
Vaa va en anbae
En vaazhvin peranbae
Vanthaai kann munbae
Idhu nijama sol anbe
Un kangalum kaadhal pesum
En tharunam malarum vasam
Un tholgalil saayum neram
Uyir thulirum perazhagaa
{Mehabooba mae teri mehabooba
Mehabooba mae teri mehabooba} (2)
Poo vaika poongatru
Seer seithathe
Puthu vaanam poo thoovuthae
Konjal mozhi pesidum
Oomai kili naanadaa
Nenjai vali theerkkum marundhaalan
Nee thaanada
Vaazhvin ver neengidum kaalam
Idhu thaanadaa
Anbin neer vaarkum mugilaalan
Nee thaanadaa
Un kaigal theendum tharunam
Naan thaninthen thaninthen salanam
Ini vaazhkaiyil yethu maranam
Naan eduthen puthu jananam
{Mehabooba mae teri mehabooba
Mehabooba mae teri mehabooba} (2)
Hmm hmm hmm mm mm mmhmm..(2)
Come, come, my love,
The greatest love of my life.
You appeared right before my eyes;
Tell me, my love, is this real?
Your eyes speak of love,
My moments blossom with sweet fragrance.
The moment I lean on your shoulders,
My soul springs to life, my handsome one.
{Mehbooba, I am your Mehbooba,
Mehbooba, I am your Mehbooba} (2)
To adorn me with flowers, the gentle breeze
Has set everything in place,
And a new sky showers flowers.
Speaking sweet words of love,
Am I the once-silent parrot?
The healer who cures the pain in my heart,
Is it truly you?
The time when life's burdens fade away,
Is it truly here?
The raincloud pouring down the water of love,
Is it truly you?
The moment your hands touch me,
All my restlessness calms down.
How can death ever touch this life now?
I have been born anew.
{Mehbooba, I am your Mehbooba,
Mehbooba, I am your Mehbooba} (2)
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmmhmm..(2)
