வா வா என் அன்பே
என் வாழ்வின் பேரன்பே
வந்தாய் கண் முன்பே
இது நிஜமா சொல் அன்பே
Come, come my love
The great love of my life
You came before my eyes
Is this real? Tell me, my love
உன் கண்களும் காதல் பேசும்
என் தருணம் மலரும் வாசம்
உன் தோள்களில் சாயும் நேரம்
உயிர் துளிரும் பேரழகா
Your eyes also speak of love
My moment blossoms with fragrance
The moment I lean on your shoulders
Life sprouts anew, oh handsome one
மெஹபூபா மே தேரி மெஹபூபா
மெஹபூபா மே தேரி மெஹபூபா
மெஹபூபா மே தேரி மெஹபூபா
மெஹபூபா மே தேரி மெஹபூபா
{Beloved, I am your beloved
Beloved, I am your beloved} (2)
பூ வைக்க பூங்காற்று சீர் செய்ததே
புது வானம் பூ தூவுது
கொஞ்சல் மொழி பேசிடும் ஊமை கிளி நானடா
நெஞ்சை வலி தீர்க்கும் மருந்தாளன் நீ தானடா
வாழ்வின் வேர் நீங்கிடும் காலம் இது தானடா
அன்பின் நீர் வார்க்கும் முகிலாளன் நீ தானடா
The gentle breeze bringing dowry gifts
Has done the preparations
The new sky showers flowers
Speaking in sweet lisping words
I am a mute parrot, my dear
உன் கைகள் தீண்டும் தருணம்
நான் தணிந்தேன் தணிந்தேன் சலனம்
இனி வாழ்க்கையில் ஏது மரணம்
நான் எடுத்தேன் புது ஜனனம்
The healer who cures the heart's pain
Is you alone, my dear
The time when life's pain departs
Is right now, my dear
The raincloud pouring the water of love
Is you alone, my dear
மெஹபூபா மே தேரி மெஹபூபா
மெஹபூபா மே தேரி மெஹபூபா
மெஹபூபா மே தேரி மெஹபூபா
மெஹபூபா மே தேரி மெஹபூபா
The moment your hands touch me
I calmed down, my restlessness subsided
Where is death in life anymore?
I have taken a new birth
