சிந்தும் மணி புன்னகையில்
சிந்தி வரும் மெல்லிசையில்
In the smile like precious pearls
In the soft music spilling over
சிந்தும் மணி புன்னகையில்
சிந்தி வரும் மெல்லிசையில்
In the smile like precious pearls
In the soft music spilling over
தேடாத ராகங்கள் கேட்கின்றது
தேனோடு பால் ஒன்று சேர்கின்றது
Unsearched ragas are heard
Milk mixes together with honey
ஓ மை லவ் ஓ மை லவ்
ஓ மை லவ் ஓ மை லவ்
Oh my love oh my love
Oh my love oh my love
ஓ மை லவ் ஓ மை லவ்
ஓ மை லவ் ஓ மை லவ்
Oh my love oh my love
Oh my love oh my love
சிந்தும் மணி புன்னகையில்
சிந்தி வரும் மெல்லிசையில்
In the smile like precious pearls
In the soft music spilling over
நட்டு வைத்த காதல்
இன்பம் கொட்டி வைத்த பூ ஆகும்
The love that was planted
Becomes a flower blossoming with joy
தொட்டு விட்டு போனால்
கால்கள் எட்டு வைக்க நாள் ஆகும்
If you touch and leave
It takes days for my feet to take eight steps
உன் பேரை பாடாமல்
பாட்டாகுமா
என் ஜீவன் நீ இன்றி
வாழாதம்மா
Without singing your name
Can it become a song?
My life, without you
Will not live, my dear
பூ இன்றி பூந்தென்றல்தான்
பாடுமா
தேன் இன்றி பூ என்ன
பூ ஆகுமா
Without a flower, can the gentle breeze
Sing on its own?
Without honey, what kind of flower
Is a flower at all?
ஓ மை லவ் ஓ மை லவ்
ஓ மை லவ் ஓ மை லவ்
Oh my love oh my love
Female :Oh my love oh my love
சிந்தும் மணி புன்னகையில்
சிந்தி வரும் மெல்லிசையில்
In the smile like precious pearls
In the soft music spilling over
சிந்தும் மணி புன்னகையில்
சிந்தி வரும் மெல்லிசையில்
In the smile like precious pearls
In the soft music spilling over
பொட்டு வைத்த போதே
நெஞ்சை விட்டு விட்டு நின்றேனே
The moment I applied the bindi
My heart kept skipping beats
எட்டி நின்ற போதும்
இன்பம் தொட்டனைக்க கண்டேனே
Even when standing at a distance
I felt bliss touching and embracing me
இன்றோடு
என் தூக்கமே போனது
என் மேனி நூலோடு
நூல் ஆனது
As of today, my sleep
Is gone
My body, like a thread
Has become slender
விண் மீது நம் காதல்
தேர் ஓடுது
கண் மூட
கூடாமல் போராடுது
High in the sky, our love
Rides a chariot
Unable to close my eyes
It struggles without sleep
ஓ மை லவ் ஓ மை லவ்
ஓ மை லவ் ஓ மை லவ்
Oh my love oh my love
Male :Oh my love oh my love
சிந்தும் மணி புன்னகையில்
சிந்தி வரும் மெல்லிசையில்
In the smile like precious pearls
In the soft music spilling over
சிந்தும் மணி புன்னகையில்
சிந்தி வரும் மெல்லிசையில்
In the smile like precious pearls
In the soft music spilling over
தேடாத ராகங்கள் கேட்கின்றது
தேனோடு பால் ஒன்று சேர்கின்றது
Unsearched ragas
Are being heard
Milk mixes together with honey
ஓ மை லவ் ஓ மை லவ்
ஓ மை லவ் ஓ மை லவ்
Oh my love oh my love
Oh my love oh my love
ஓ மை லவ் ஓ மை லவ்
ஓ மை லவ் ஓ மை லவ்
Oh my love oh my love
Oh my love oh my love

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This romantic duet celebrates the deep bond and ecstasy between two lovers. The opening lines compare the beloved's smile to precious pearls and gentle music, creating an intoxicating harmony similar to mixing milk and honey. The lovers reflect on how their love has grown into a flourishing flower of happiness, emphasizing that life without each other lacks purpose, just as a breeze is incomplete without flowers or a flower without nectar. In the latter half, the emotion intensifies as the female character describes the physical and mental effects of love—restlessness, sleeplessness, and feeling light as a thread. Together, they envision their love riding a celestial chariot high across the sky, embodying an eternal, unworldly passion.
