நெஞ்சே நெஞ்சே
நிக்காம ஓடுதே எங்கே
எங்கே நீ என்றே தேடுதே
உன பாத்தே நா இறகானேன்
தல காலு புரியாம பறந்தேனே
Heart, oh heart
Runs without stopping...
Where are you, where are you
Searching for you...
Seeing you, I succumbed..
Without understanding head or tail
I flew away..
நெஞ்சே நெஞ்சே
நிக்காம ஓடுதே எங்கே
எங்கே நீ என்றே தேடுதே
உன பாத்தே நா இறகானேன்
தல காலு புரியாம பறந்தேனே
Heart, oh heart
Runs without stopping...
Where are you, where are you
Searching for you...
Seeing you, I succumbed..
Without understanding head or tail
I flew away..
ஊரே மேல
பாக்க ஆகாசம்
அதையும் தாண்டி
தானே உன் பாசம்
Looked at by the whole town
Is the sky..
Even beyond that
Is your love..
நெஞ்சாங் குழி
மேடாகுதே உன் பேச்சுல
கம்மாவுமே காடாகுதே
கண் வீச்சில
The depth of my heart turns into a hillock
By your words..
Even the lake becomes a dry land
By the stroke of your eyes..
யாரும் கேட்டிடாம
தூறல் போடும் மேகம் போல
ஓடி வார நீயும் சேந்து வாழ
Without anyone asking
Like a cloud that drizzled..
You come running
To live together..
அஞ்சாம நீ
பொஞ்சாதியா உறவாட
யாராலயும் ஆகாதடி
தட போட எண்சிறுடீ
Without fear, you
To bond with me as my wife..
No one can
Put an obstacle...
My small girl..
ஊத காத்தும்
கூட உன் மேல மோத
தாங்குவேனே பூ போல
Even if the whistling wind
Upon you..
Hits, I will bear it
Softly like a flower..
ஓ அம்மாவாயும்
தாலாட்டுதே உன் வாசன
கத்தாழைய கண்ணாடியா
நீ மாத்துன
Oh.. even lulls a mother to sleep
Your fragrance..
A cactus into a mirror
You transformed..
ஊஞ்சல் போல
ஆச ஒஞ்சிடாம ஆட்டம்
போட்டா தூக்கம் தூங்கிடாதோ
நம்ம கூட
Desire like a swing
Dances untiringly..
Will sleep itself go to sleep..
Along with us..
உன்னோட நா
என்னோட நீ விளையாட
முப்போதுமே சந்தோஷம்
தான் கடப்போட என்ன தொடுடி
Me with you
You with me to play..
At all three times, it is pure happiness
Boundless...
Touch me, girl..
நெஞ்சே நெஞ்சே
நிக்காம ஓடுதே
எங்கே எங்கே
நீ என்றே தேடுதே
உன பாத்தே நா
இறகானேன் தல காலு
புரியாம பறந்தேனே
