ஹே ஏ ஏ...
ஹே ரங்கராட்டினம் போலே
உன வட்டம் போடுதே காலு
லட்சம் வானவில் நீ தான்
என தத்தி தாவுறேன் மேலே
Hey eyy eyyy
Hey, like a giant wheel,
My legs circle around you.
You are a hundred thousand rainbows,
So I hop and leap up high.
கண்ணே நீ ஒரு ராசாத்தி
உன பாக்கும்போதே
பசி தூக்கம் போச்சே
கொஞ்சி நானுமே தாலாட்ட
வெறும் நாளும் கூட
திருநாளா ஆச்சே
My darling, you are a queen,
The moment I look at you,
My hunger and sleep vanish.
When I fondle and sing a lullaby,
Even an ordinary day
Becomes a grand festival day.
அடியாத்தி உன் வார்த்த
நிக்கும் நெஞ்சில் தேனாட்டம்
துணையாக சேர்ந்தாலே
புல்லும் ஆவேன் பூந்தோட்டம்
Oh my, your words
Linger in my heart like honey.
If you join me as my companion,
Even a blade of grass becomes a flower garden.
ஹே ரங்க ராட்டினம் போலே
உன வட்டம் போடுதே காலு
லட்சம் வானவில் நீ தான்
என தத்தி தாவுறேன் மேலே
Hey, like a giant wheel,
My legs circle around you.
You are a hundred thousand rainbows,
So I hop and leap up high.
ஆயிரம் பெற பார்த்தாலும்
ஆசை தான் உன் மேலே
தாவணி போட்ட என் ராணி
காட்டுற வாழ் நாள
Even if I see a thousand people,
My desire rests only on you.
My queen wearing a half-saree,
Showing me a sweet life.
காலுல கோலம் நீ போட
பூமியே பூஞ்சோல
சாடையா பேசும் உன் பேச்சு
பீச்சுதே சீம்பால
As you draw patterns with your feet,
The entire earth turns into a flower meadow.
Your speech spoken through subtle gestures
Sprays rich, sweet milk.
தூங்குனா கூட
மனசோட வீசுற தூரலா
காதல தாண்டி
எனக்கேதும் இல்லை வேலை
Even when I sleep,
A cool drizzle blows through my heart.
Beyond loving you,
I have no other work to do.
அடியாத்தி உன் வார்த்த
நிக்கும் நெஞ்சில் தேனாட்டம்
துணையாக சேர்ந்தாலே
புல்லும் ஆவேன் பூந்தோட்டம்
Oh my, your words
Linger in my heart like honey.
If you join me as my companion,
Even a blade of grass becomes a flower garden.
ஹே ரங்க ராட்டினம் போலே
