ஸ்டாப் த பாட்டு ஸ்டாப் த பாட்டு
இந்த பாட்டு வேண்டாம் தலைவா
பர்ஸ்ட்டு லவ்வு நினைப்பு வருதே
இந்த பாட்டு வேண்டாம் தலைவா
Stop the song, stop the song!
I don't want this song, my friend!
It brings back memories of my first love,
I don't want this song, my friend!
என்னமோ ஆறேன்
இந்த பாட்டால தான்
அவளை தான் தேடி கண்ண மூடி
இது போகச் சொல்லுதே...
Something strange happens to me due to this song,
With eyes closed, searching for her,
It tells me to wander...
Leave it, leave it, leave it, my friend!
I cannot refrain from dancing to this song!
Leave it, leave it, leave it, my friend!
I cannot refrain from singing this song!
விடு விடு விடு விடு தலைவா
இந்த பாட்டுக்கு ஆடாம இருக்க முடியல
விடு விடு விடு விடு தலைவா
இந்த பாட்ட பாடாம இருக்க முடியல
When listening during night sleep,
Tears begin to stream.
Like a Ferris wheel, her love
Spins round and round.
ராத்திரி தூக்கத்தில் கேட்கையில்
கண்ணீர் வருதே
ராட்டினம் போல் அவள் காதலை
சுற்றி விடுதே
Shall I call it joy?
Shall I call it sorrow?
It is a yearning that
Never leaves me.
சந்தோஷம் என்பேனா
சோகங்கள் என்பேனா
என்னாளும் நீங்காத ஏக்கம் இது
சங்கீதம் போல இந்த மண்மீது
சட்டென்று ஈர்கின்ற பாட்டு இது
சிரித்தேன் அழுதேன்
இந்த பாட்டில் கரைந்தே போனேன்
Like pure music on this earth,
This is a song that instantly draws me in.
I laughed, I cried,
I dissolved completely into this song.
விடு விடு விடு விடு தலைவா
இந்த பாட்டுக்கு ஆடாம இருக்க முடியல
விடு விடு விடு விடு தலைவா
இந்த பாட்ட பாடாம இருக்க முடியல
Leave it, leave it, leave it, my friend!
I cannot refrain from dancing to this song!
Leave it, leave it, leave it, my friend!
I cannot refrain from singing this song!
யார் அவன் ராகத்தில்
சோகத்தை மீட்டி சொன்னான்
யார் அவன் என் மனம்
நினைப்பதை பாட்டில் சொன்னான்
Who is he that played sorrow
In his musical melody?
Who is he that expressed in a song
What my heart thinks?
சந்தேகம் இல்லாமல்
என் வாழ்வை யாரோதான்
எட்டித்தான் பார்க்கின்ற மாயம் இது
முன்னாடி போனாலும்
பின்னாடி போனாலும்
எங்கேயும் கேட்கின்ற கானம் இது
புதிதாய் பிறந்தேன்
இந்த பாட்டில் தொலைந்தே போனேன்
Without a doubt,
Someone is peeking
Into my life;
This is pure magic.
விடு விடு விடு விடு தலைவா
இந்த பாட்டுக்கு ஆடாம இருக்க முடியல
விடு விடு விடு விடு தலைவா
இந்த பாட்ட பாடாம இருக்க முடியல
Whether I move forward
Or go backward,
This is a melody heard everywhere.
I was born anew,
I got lost within this song...
ஸ்டாப் த பாட்டு ஸ்டாப் த பாட்டு
இந்த பாட்டு வேண்டாம் தலைவா
