உன் ஞாபகம்
ஓயேஓ... ஓயேஓ...
காத்திருந்தாலும் காலடி
தடங்கள் போதுமடி
தீரா நதி என்னுள் நீராட வா...
It slays me softly,
Your memory.
Oh yeah ohh
Oho yeah ohh
Even if I keep waiting, your footprint
Traces are enough, my dear.
An endless river, come bathe inside me.
படபடக்குது
படபடக்குது மனமே
துடிதுடிக்குது
துடிதுடிக்குது தினமே
எந்தன் பெருங்காதல்
குறையாதது...
It flutters,
My heart flutters.
It throbs,
It throbs every single day.
My immense love never diminishes.
உன் அருகினில்
நான் இருந்ததும் அடடா
என் அருகினில்
நீ இருந்ததும் அடடா
இங்கு உடல் மட்டும் பிரிகின்றது
உந்தன் மனம் என்னுள் வாழ்கின்றது
When I was near you,
Ah, how wonderful it was!
When you were near me,
Ah, how wonderful it was!
Here, only the bodies part ways,
Your heart lives within me.
பார்த்துக் கொண்டே
பார்க்காமல் போ
கேட்டுக் கொண்டே
கேட்காமல் போ
என்றாலும் கூட என் கண்ணிலே
உனை கொஞ்சுவேன்
காதோரமாய் நான் பேசுவேன்
Look at me yet pretend not to see and walk away,
Listen to me yet pretend not to hear and walk away,
Even if you do so,
I will cherish you in my eyes,
I will whisper in your ears.
வீட்டுப் பூனை நீ தானடி
காட்டுப் பூவும் நீ தானடி
எங்கே நீ போனால் எனக்கென்னடி
என் நெஞ்சிலே நீ தானடி
ஏய் நில்லடி ஏய் நில்லடி
You are a pet house cat,
You are a wild flower too,
Wherever you go, what do I care?
You reside in my heart.
Hey stop, girl, hey stop!
