ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ ஓஹ்
Ho ho ho ho ho ooh…
நெஞ்சே நெஞ்சே என்னாச்சு உனக்கு
விட்டு விட்டு துடிக்கிற
நெஞ்சே நெஞ்சே என்னாச்சு எனக்கு
தட்டுக்கெட்டு தவிக்கிறேன்
Oh heart, oh heart, what happened to you?
You beat intermittently and wildly.
Oh heart, oh heart, what happened to me?
I am struggling, losing control.
நெஞ்சே நெஞ்சே என்னாச்சு உனக்கு
விட்டு விட்டு துடிக்கிற
நெஞ்சே நெஞ்சே என்னாச்சு எனக்கு
தட்டுக்கெட்டு தவிக்கிறேன்
Oh heart, oh heart, what happened to you?
You beat intermittently.
Oh heart, oh heart, what happened to me?
I am struggling out of control.
இமைக்காதே பெண்ணே
ஓர் நொடி உன் விழி காணா என் விழி
கண்ணீர் சுழல் அதன் உள்ளே
மூழ்காதோ
Girl, do not blink your eyes.
If my eyes miss seeing your eyes for a second,
Inside a whirlpool of tears,
Won't they drown?
சிரிக்காதே பெண்ணே
உன் சிறு புன்னகை திடீர் மின்னலை
எந்தன் நெஞ்சம் எங்கும் அள்ளி
தூவாதோ
Girl, do not smile.
Your small smile is like a sudden flash of lightning,
Gathering it across my heart,
Won't it scatter everywhere?
நீ வரும் தருணங்கள் எல்லாம்
சில்லென்று குளிராய் மாறிடும்
வனிதையின் மனம்
வான் மீது பறவையாகிடும்
All the moments when you arrive,
Turn pleasantly cool and chilly.
Oh human, my heart,
Becomes a bird flying in the sky.
ஓ இரு விழியிலே உரையாடல் நடத்தி
இதயத்தை மெல்ல அழகாகக் கடத்தி
கொடுமைகள் செய்யும் கொலைகார சிறுக்கி நீயடி
நகங்களில் எல்லாம் மருதாணி சிவப்பு
உதடுகள் விட்டு உதிராத சிரிப்பு
வயதுக்கு வந்த வளமான கொழுப்பு நீயடி
Oh... conducting a conversation through both eyes,
Gently and beautifully kidnapping the heart,
You are a murderous girl who inflicts sweet cruelties!
Red henna on all your fingernails,
A smile that never leaves your lips,
You are a rich arrogance that came with youth...
நெஞ்சே நெஞ்சே என்னாச்சு உனக்கு
விட்டு விட்டு துடிக்கிற
நெஞ்சே நெஞ்சே என்னாச்சு எனக்கு
தட்டுக்கெட்டு தவிக்கிறேன்
Oh heart, oh heart, what happened to you?
You beat intermittently.
Oh heart, oh heart, what happened to me?
I am struggling out of control.
என் காலை மாலை உன்னோடு தானே
என் சாலை பூவும் உன்னாலே தானே
My mornings and evenings belong to you alone.
The roadside flower blooms only because of you.
If masculinity has a definition, it is your body alone.
When I lean on your chest, I turn into the wind.
ஆண்மை என்றாலே உன் தேகம் தானே
மார்போடு சாய்ந்தால் காற்றாகிறேன்
A storm rages in my heart, darling.
Feathers fly inside me.
Everything is because of you.
நெஞ்சிலே புயலொன்று அடிக்குது
செல்லமே இறகுகள் பறக்குது
என்னுளே எல்லாம் உன்னாலே
Isn't it you who got attached in my eyes, my ears,
In my nose, and in my breath...
நீ தானே ஒட்டிக்கிட்ட
கண்ணுல காத்துல
மூக்குல மூச்சில
Girl, do not blink.
If my eyes lose sight of yours for a second,
In a whirlpool of tears,
Won't they drown?
இமைக்காதே பெண்ணே
ஓர் நொடி உன் விழி காணா என் விழி
கண்ணீர் சுழல் அதன் உள்ளே
மூழ்காதோ
Girl, do not smile.
Oh girl... do not smile.
சிரிக்காதே பெண்ணே
பெண்ணே ஏ சிரிக்காதே
Oh heart, oh heart, what happened to you?
You beat intermittently.
Oh heart, oh heart, what happened to me?
I am struggling, losing control.
நெஞ்சே நெஞ்சே என்னாச்சு உனக்கு
விட்டு விட்டு துடிக்கிற
நெஞ்சே நெஞ்சே என்னாச்சு எனக்கு
தட்டுக்கெட்டு தவிக்கிறேன்
Ho ho ho ho ho ooh…
