| Adhi vasikka vassathi illai | There are no amenities to live there |

அழகான வானவில் சாலை
அதில் நடக்க வழிகள் இல்லை
கண்ணடித்து அழைக்கும் விண்மீன்கள்
அதை பிடிக்க வலைகள் இல்லை
A beautiful rainbow road
There are no paths to walk upon it
Stars that wink and call out
There are no nets to capture them
பஞ்சு மெத்தை போல் அந்த மேகம்
அதில் உறங்க வழிகள் இல்லை
நீ ரசிக்கத்தான் அந்த நிலவு
அதில் வசிக்க வசதி இல்லை....
That cloud resembles a soft cotton bed
There is no way to sleep upon it
That moon is only for you to admire
There are no amenities to live there
புறாவே ஏன் கண்ணடிச்சே
என் மனச ஏன் மந்திரிச்சே
விநோதமா ஏன் சிரிச்சே
என் உயிரை ஏன் கத்திரிச்சே
Oh dove, why did you wink at me?
Why did you cast a spell on my heart?
Why did you smile so strangely?
Why did you snip away my life?
என் தோளில் கிடக்குற துண்ட பறிக்குறே
போர்வையாக என்ன மடிக்கிறே
அத்துமீறியே மனசில் நுழையுறே
சுரங்க பாதையில நடக்குறே
You snatch the towel resting on my shoulder
You fold me up as if I were a blanket
Crossing boundaries, you enter my heart
You walk through a secret tunnel
புறாவே ஏன் கண்ணடிச்சே
என் மனச ஏன் மந்திரிச்சே......
Oh dove, why did you wink at me?
Why did you cast a spell on my heart?
அடி மில்லி மில்லியா கிள்ளி
என்னை திருடி போகிறாய் கள்ளி
நீ முருகன் முருகன் என சொல்லி
என்னை ஆண்டியாக்கும் வள்ளி
Pinching me millimeter by millimeter
You steal me away and run, you cunning thief
By calling out 'Murugan, Murugan'
You are Valli who turns me into a mendicant
எனை அன்பில் மிரட்டி தினம் ஆளும்
நீ சர்வாதிக்கார மன்னன்
நீ ராதை ராதை எனச் சொல்லி
எனை வெண்ணையாக்கும் கண்ணன்
Ruling over me daily with playful love threats
You act like an autocratic ruler
By calling out 'Rathi, Rathi'
You are Krishna melting me like butter
அன்பே நீ நாணம் கொண்டாய்
நானொரு ஓவியன் ஆனேன்
அன்பே நீ காதலன் ஆனாய்
நான் தேவதை ஆகி விட்டேன்
My beloved, when you felt shy
I turned into a portrait painter
Female: My love, when you became my suitor
I transformed into a heavenly angel
அடி கண்ணை மூடினால் இமையில் தெரிகிற
எப்படி தூங்குறது சொல்லும்மா
குளிக்க போகையில் கூட வருகிற
எப்படி குளிப்பது சொல்லய்யா
Girl, when I close my eyes, you appear on my eyelids
Tell me, how am I supposed to sleep?
Female: Even when I go to bathe, you tag along
Tell me, sir, how am I supposed to bathe?
புறாவே ஏன் கண்ணடிச்சே
என் மனச ஏன் மந்திரிச்சே
என் தோளில் கடக்குற துண்ட பறிக்குறே
போர்வையாக என்ன மடிக்கிறே
அத்துமீறியே என் மனசில் நுழையுறே
சுரங்க பாதையில் நடக்குறே
Oh dove, why did you wink at me?
Why did you cast a spell on my heart?
You snatch the towel resting on my shoulder
You fold me up as if I were a blanket
Crossing boundaries, you enter my heart
You walk through a secret tunnel
ஒரு பலூன் போல என் மனசு அட
பறந்து போகுது பாரு
அதனுள்ளே இருக்குற காத்து
அது நீ கொடுத்த மூச்சு
Look, my heart is like a floating balloon
Watch it soaring into the sky
The air contained inside it
Is the breath that you gave me
ஒரு பூவைப் போல என் உயிரு
இப்ப பூத்து குலுங்குது பாரு
அதனுள்ளே இருக்கிற வாசம்
அது நீ கொடுத்த நேசம்
My life is like a flower
Watch it bloom and sway with joy now
The fragrance held inside it
Is the affection that you gifted me
இப்போது இரவா பகலா
இதென்ன வெய்யிலா மழையா
ஒன்றேதான் எல்லாம் இங்கே
ஒன்றாய் நாமிருந்தால்
Is it night or day right now?
Is this burning sunshine or falling rain?
Male: Everything feels fused into one
Whenever the two of us are together as one
பூமி நழுவுது வானம் நழுவுது
வேற்று கிரகம் நம்மை அழைக்குது
சிறந்த காதலர் என்று நமக்குத்தான்
காதல் வாழ்த்து தன்னை அனுப்புது
The earth slips away, the sky slips away
An alien planet is beckoning us
Male: Proclaiming us as the finest lovers
Love itself sends us its blessings
புறாவே ஏன் கண்ணடிச்சே
என் மனச ஏன் மந்திரிச்சே
விநோதமா ஏன் சிரிச்சே
என் உயிரை ஏன் கத்திரிச்சே
Oh dove, why did you wink at me?
Why did you cast a spell on my heart?
Why did you smile so strangely?
Why did you snip away my life?
என் தோளில் கிடக்குற துண்ட பறிக்குறே
போர்வையாக என்ன மடிக்கிறே
அத்துமீறியே மனசில் நுழையுறே
சுரங்க பாதையில் நடக்குறே....
You snatch the towel resting on my shoulder
You fold me up as if I were a blanket
Female: Crossing boundaries, you enter my heart
You walk through a secret tunnel
