போகுற போக்குல
போட்டு நீ தாக்குறியே
பாக்குற சாக்குல
ஆள நீ தூக்குறியே
பாக்க இனிக்குதடி
வலிக்காம வலிக்குதடி
அழகாக ஆள சாய்க்குற
காதல் கந்து வட்டி போல ஏறுதே
As you go along your way
You strike me hard
Under the pretext of looking
You snatch me away
It feels sweet to look at you, girl
It hurts painlessly
You beautifully make me fall for you
Love is rising like exorbitant interest rates
போகுற போக்குல
போட்டு நீ தாக்குறியே
பாக்குற சாக்குல
ஆள நீ தூக்குறியே
பாக்க இனிக்குதடா
வலிக்காம வலிக்குதடா
அழகாக ஆள சாய்க்குற
காதல் கந்து வட்டி போல ஏறுதே
As you go along your way
You strike me hard
Under the pretext of looking
You snatch me away
It feels sweet to look at you, my man
It hurts painlessly
You beautifully make me fall for you
Love is rising like exorbitant interest rates
பாக்கல குரல் கேக்கல
மோகம் வாடுது ஏனடியோ
வாட்டுற வலி கூட்டுற
சுகமாகுது தானடியோ
If I do not see you or hear your voice
My passion turns weary, why is that so?
The tormenting pain that pours in
Surprisingly turns into bliss
காட்டுல கல்லு மேட்டுல
உன்னை தேடுது ஏன் அழகா
ரோட்டுல நாடு ரோட்டுல
மனம் ஆடுது பேரழகா
In the forest and over rocky hills
It searches for you, my handsome one
On the road, right in the middle of the road
My heart dances, my great beauty
நான் பார்த்தது உனை
வான் பார்த்து எனை
தூவும் பூ பூவாய்
Since I saw you
Looking at the sky, towards me
Showering like blossoms of flowers
காதலே உயிரில் பாரமாய்
தேடலே இதய தாளமாய்
Love becomes a heavy weight upon my soul
The search becomes the rhythm of my heart
பாக்க இனிக்குதடி
வலிக்காம வலிக்குதடி
அழகாக ஆள சாய்க்குற
காதல் கந்து வட்டி போல ஏறுதே.....ஏ....
It feels sweet to look at you, girl
It hurts painlessly
You beautifully make me fall for you
Love is rising like exorbitant interest rates
தூவுற நெஞ்சில் தூறல
என்னை வாட்டி வதைக்கிறயே
தாவுற தங்க மீனென
மனம் தான பறிக்கிறியே
Like a drizzle in my showering heart
You torment and distress me
Like a leaping golden fish
You pluck my heart away on its own
காலையில் தினம் சேவலா
ஏன் மனசுல கூவுறியே
காக்குற முள்ளு வேலிய
கொஞ்சம் உசுர கிழிக்குறியே
Like a rooster every morning
You crow inside my heart
Like a protective thorn fence
You tear at my life just a little bit
வாயாடி உன்னை வான் வாழும் வரை
காப்பேன் உசுராக
You talkative one, as long as the sky exists
I will protect you as my very life...
பாசத்தால் உன்னை ஆளானும்
ஊர் எட்டும் பாக்க வாழனும்
I want to rule over you with affection
I want us to live so that the whole town takes notice
பாக்க இனிக்குதடா
வலிக்காம வலிக்குதடா
அழகாக ஆள சாய்க்குற
காதல் கந்து வட்டி போல ஏறுதே...ஏ.....
