நிஜம் தானா
பெண்ணே அருகினில்
வந்தாய் நானும் சிலிர்த்து
கொண்டேன் நெஞ்சம்
எல்லாம் நீதான்
பெண்ணே ஓ
Is it real, girl?
You came near me
I trembled with goosebumps
My whole heart
Is filled with you, girl.. oh
இது போல என்றும்
வருவாயா பெண்ணே எதிர்
பார்த்து நின்றேன் நாட்கள்
எல்லாம் அன்பே
Always like this
Will you keep coming, girl?
I stood in anticipation
All these days, my love…
உந்தன் கண்கள்
காணவே காத்திருக்கிறேன்
நாளும் நான் தான்
குழு :
பெண்ணே
நகராத நொடிகளில்
போரும் தொடுக்கிறேன்
கடிகாரத்துடன்
குழு :
நானே
Just to see your eyes
I am waiting every single day
Chorus: Girl
Male: In the moments that do not move
I wage a war with the clock
Chorus: Myself
இந்த மாலை
நேரத்தில் சாலை
ஓரத்தில் மரமாய்
நின்றேன்

ஹோ எந்தன் உள்ளே
நீயும் முதல் தூரலாய்
I wonder why…
I too saw you
I wonder why… hoo
Deep inside me, you came
Like the first drizzle
உரையாடும்
நொடிகளில் உறைந்து
போகிறேன் உந்தன்
வார்த்தைகள் பனியாக
பேசாத நொடிகளில்
லேசான உரசலில்
சாம்பல் ஆகிறேன்
அனலாலே
In the moments we converse
I freeze completely
As your words turn into dew
In the moments of silence
At a gentle brush of contact
I turn into ashes from the heat
உன்னோடு
நடக்கையில் விண்ணில்
பறக்கிறேன் எந்தன்
வானத்தில் விண்மீனாக
ஆஆ
While walking with you
I fly in the sky
As a star in my own sky… aaa
வெண்ணிலவு
என்னை நீ மேகமாக
சூழ்ந்தாய் பெண் இவளை
நீதான் உன் கண்ணியத்தால்
வென்றாய்
Like the full moon
You surrounded me like a cloud
Me, this woman
You won over with your dignity

சாலை ரயிலாய்
தினமும் நீ என்னில்
தொடர்ந்தாய்
காலை வெயிலாய்
முழுதும் நீ என்னில்
படர்ந்தாய்
Like a road train
You followed inside me daily
Female: Like the morning sunlight
You spread entirely across me
மாலை மயிலே
தோகை நீ விரித்தாய்
எனக்காய்
நானும் உனதே
இதில் என்ன கேள்வி
Evening peacock
You spread your feathers for me
Female: I am yours too
What doubt is there in this?
குழு & ஆண் :
சிறு பூவில்
தேனை தேடும் வண்டாய்
நானே என் பாலை வனத்தில்
பூத்த முதல் ரோஜாவே என்
தேவை நீதான் அன்பே
உனக்காய் நானே உனக்குள்ளும்
நானும் வந்தால் சொல்லேன்
பெண்ணே
In the moments we converse
I freeze completely
As your words turn into dew
In the moments of silence
At a gentle brush of contact
