There is a unspoken language
பேசாத மொழி ஒன்று உண்டு
அதை பேச விழி நான்கு உண்டு
முதல் பார்வை
முதல் வார்த்தை
அதை சொன்னால் தன்னால் வளரும்
Male: To speak it, there are four eyes
Did Mars and the Moon become a woman?
மனம் சங்கமதில் வந்து விழும்
செந்தமிழின் தேன் ஒழுகும்
சொந்தமதை கொண்டு வரும்
Come to touch, cradle, and praise
Did Mars and the Moon become a woman?
Come to touch, cradle, and praise
Let a little time pass
பேசாத மொழி ஒன்று உண்டு
அதை பேச விழி நான்கு உண்டு
Let the heart gain courage later
Let a crore of new songs be created then
Draped and arriving with flower-adorned hair
செவ்வாயும் திங்களும் ஒரு பெண்ணானதோ
தொட்டு தாலாட்ட பாராட்ட வரவேண்டும்
செவ்வாயும் திங்களும் ஒரு பெண்ணானதோ
தொட்டு தாலாட்ட பாராட்ட வரவேண்டும்
Female: Womanly beauty will come seeking
Male: The happiness obtained will be tenfold-million
There is a unspoken language
கொஞ்சம் பொழுதாகட்டும்
நெஞ்சம் துணிவாகட்டும் பின்பு
ஒரு கோடி புதுப்பாடல் உருவாகட்டும்
Male: To speak it, there are four eyes
Is the thread-like waist swaying as the saree pallu bounces?
கட்டு பூங்குழலில் மூடி வரும்
பெண் அழகு தேடி வரும்
வந்த சுகம் கோடி பெறும்......
Will you give a little space for me to dance gently?
Is the thread-like waist swaying as the saree pallu bounces?
Will you give a little space for me to dance gently?
The woman giving one half
பேசாத மொழி ஒன்று உண்டு
அதை பேச விழி நான்கு உண்டு
And the king giving the other half
We can climb on each other's lap and play
That golden world will always come
முந்தானை பந்தாடும் இடை நூலாட்டமோ
மெல்ல நான் ஆட இடம் கொஞ்சம் தருமோ
முந்தானை பந்தாடும் இடை நூலாட்டமோ
மெல்ல நான் ஆட இடம் கொஞ்சம் தருமோ
Female: As soon as you say it, it will come today
Male: From today onwards, it will come forever
There is a unspoken language
மங்கை ஒரு பாதியும்
மன்னன் மறு பாதியும் தந்து
மடிமீது குடியேறி விளையாடலாம்
Male: To speak it, there are four eyes
அந்த பொன்னுலகம் என்று வரும்
சொன்னவுடன் இன்று வரும்
இன்று முதல் என்றும் வரும்........
பேசாத மொழி ஒன்று உண்டு
அதை பேச விழி நான்கு உண்டு
