ஒரு உறவு அழைக்குது
மறு உறவு தடுக்குது
ஒரு உறவு அழைக்குது
மறு உறவு தடுக்குது
One relationship is calling out
Another relationship is holding me back
One relationship is calling out
Another relationship is holding me back
இங்கு வாடும் வாடும்
பூந்தோட்டம்
உனைத் தேடும் காதல்
போராட்டம்
Here, it wilts and wilts
The flower garden
A struggle of love searching for you
ஒரு உறவு அழைக்குது
மறு உறவு தடுக்குது
ஒரு உறவு அழைக்குது
மறு உறவு தடுக்குது
One relationship is calling out
Another relationship is holding me back
One relationship is calling out
Another relationship is holding me back
ஆஅ அஆ ஆ,,
ஓ ஓஹ்ஹோ...
Aaaaah…aaah…
Oooohoo..ooohoo..
காதல் என்னும் பேச்சு
என்ன கதை ஆச்சு
கண் விழித்து நானும்
கண்ட கனவாச்சு
கொடி தான் இங்கே
காற்றில் ஆடும்
துணை தான் எங்கே
வருமோ என்றே
All this talk about love
What a story it has turned into
Even after I woke up
It turned out to be just a dream I saw
உள் மனது
தவிக்கிறதே தவிக்கிறதே
அது துடிக்கிறதே
Like a creeper vine here
Swaying in the wind
Where is my companion?
Wondering if they will ever come
உன் கனவு
வருகிறதே வருகிறதே
துன்பம் தருகிறதே
அடி மானே மானே
வாடாதே
My inner heart is tormented
It is tormented, it throbs in pain
Your memory keeps coming back
It comes back and brings me sorrow
Oh my deer-like love, do not wilt away
தினம் தினம் நான் ஏங்குறேன்
மனம் கலஞ்சும் தாங்குறேன்
தினம் தினம் நான் ஏங்குறேன்
மனம் கலஞ்சும் தாங்குறேன்
Day after day, I pine for you
Even with a broken heart, I endure it
Day after day, I pine for you
Even with a broken heart, I endure it
Because of the lies of gossiping townsfolk
Because of the affliction of true love
வாய் பேசும்
ஊரார் பொய்யாலே
மெய்யான காதல்
நோயாலே
The love born of a parent
Has become like a dried-up water spring
The strife surrounding us
Is something they have learned
பெற்றெடுத்த அன்பு
வற்றிய நீர் ஊற்று
சுற்றியுள்ள வம்பு கற்றுக்
கொண்ட ஒன்று
Oh my love… here
Everything turns into sorrow
For that to change
It will take a very long time
ஆண்
:அன்பே இங்கு
துன்பம் ஆகும்
அது தான் மாற
நெடு நாள் ஆகும்
The outer masks worn on the surface
Will no longer work, no longer work
The wounds deep inside the heart
Will not go away, will not go away
Oh my deer-like love, do not wilt away
வெளியினிலே வேஷங்கள்
இனி ஆகாது ஆகாது
உள்ளத்திலே காயங்கள்
அது போகாது போகாது
அடி மானே மானே
வாடாதே
One relationship is calling out
Another relationship is holding me back
