செக்க செவந்தவளே
செக்க செவந்தவளே
எனைக் கொல்லும் அழகினிலே
நான் கொள்ளை போனேனே
நான் கொள்ளை போனேனே
Oh girl with bright rosy skin
Oh girl with bright rosy skin
In your beauty that slays me
I was completely captivated
I was completely captivated
வெட்கம் தந்தவனே
வெட்கம் தந்தவனே
உன் தீண்டும் விரல்களிலே
நான் கரைந்தே போனேனே
நான் கரைந்தே போனேனே....
Oh man who made me blush
Oh man who made me blush
By your touching fingers
I completely melted away
I completely melted away
வெட்ட வெளிதனிலே
வெட்ட வெளிதனிலே
நான் பனியில் நனைந்தாலும்
உன் மூச்சில் வெந்தேனே
In the wide open space
In the wide open space
Even if I am drenched in the dew
I burned in your warm breath
காதல் மழையினிலே
காதல் மழையினிலே
நான் குடையை மறந்தேனே
என்னுயிரும் நனைந்தேனே
In the rain of love
In the rain of love
I forgot my umbrella
And even my soul got soaked
காதல் சொல்லத்தான்
பூக்கள் மலர்கிறது
ஆண் : சில ரோஜா மலர்களும்
உன்னை கண்டதும்
கன்னம் சிவக்கிறது கன்னம் சிவக்கிறது...
Just to express love
The flowers bloom
Male: Seeing you, even a few red roses
Upon seeing you
Turn red on their cheeks... turn red on their cheeks
வெட்கம் தந்தவனே
வெட்கம் தந்தவனே
உன் தீண்டும் விரல்களிலே
நான் கரைந்தே போனேனே
நான் கரைந்தே போனேனே....
Oh man who made me blush
Oh man who made me blush
By your touching fingers
I completely melted away
I completely melted away
காதல் நெஞ்சத்தை
காற்றில் விட்டேனே
அந்த காற்றே எரிந்தாலும்
என் காதல் எரியாதே
My loving heart
I released into the breeze
Even if that wind catches fire
My love will never burn away
செவ்வாய் கிரகத்தில்
நீ போய் வாழ்ந்தாலும்
நான் உன்னை சேர்வேனே
என் காதல் தீராதே
On the planet Mars
Even if you go and live
I will reach you and unite
My love will never end
உலகம் அழகியது
காதல் சொல்லியது
அடி அதனால் தானடி
ஏவாள் ஆப்பிள்
இன்னும் இனிக்கிறது இன்னும் இனிக்கிறது...
The world said
That love is beautiful
Male: Hey girl, that is why
Eve's forbidden apple
Still tastes sweet... still tastes sweet
செக்க செவந்தவளே
செக்க செவந்தவளே
எனைக் கொல்லும் அழகினிலே
நான் கொள்ளை போனேனே
நான் கொள்ளை போனேனே
Oh girl with bright rosy skin
Oh girl with bright rosy skin
In your beauty that slays me
I was completely captivated
I was completely captivated
வெட்கம் தந்தவனே
வெட்கம் தந்தவனே
உன் தீண்டும் விரல்களிலே
நான் கரைந்தே போனேனே
நான் கரைந்தே போனேனே....
