O flowers waiting eagerly,
You can spread your fragrance, come come.
காதல் சொல்ல பூமியில்
காத்திருக்கும் பூக்களே
வாசனைகள் வீசலாம் வா வா
Why do the stars in the sky
Yeeh yeh
open their mouths?
Yeeh yeh
வானில் மீன்கள் ஏன்
குழு :
யெஹ் யெஹ்
வாய் திறக்குது
குழு :
யெஹ் யெஹ்
Why do the stars in the sky
open their mouths?
From lady Earth,
they are asking for a kiss.
வானில் மீன்கள் ஏன்
வாய் திறக்குது
பூமி பெண்ணிடம்
முத்தம் கேட்குது
Oh my, my heart
flying, flying, flying
is going away!
ஐய்யய்யோ என் நெஞ்சம்
பறந்து பறந்து பறந்து
போகுதே
Come, come... (4 times)
வா வா.....(4)

போடு
காதல் சொல்ல பூமியில்
காத்திருக்கும் பூக்களே
வாசனைகள் வீசலாம் வா வா
Showing your face again and again,
Nurturing your bliss again and again,
Love raised me by lifting me up, my dear.
உன் முகத்த காட்டி காட்டி
உன் சுகத்த ஊட்டி ஊட்டி
தூக்கி என்ன வளர்த்தடி காதல்
Like a wild flood,
Holding my hand and leading me,
My love joined me with you.
காட்டு வெள்ளம் போல என்ன
கை பிடித்து கூட்டி கொண்டு
உன்னிடத்துள் சேர்த்ததே என் காதல்
Thinking that I had no one,
In my heart that lived alone,
A swing sways in your memory, my dear.
யாரும் இல்ல என்று எண்ணி
வாழ்ந்திருந்த எந்தன் நெஞ்சில்
உன் நினைவில் ஆடுதடி ஊஞ்சல்
There are flowers everywhere on earth,
Yet for the flowers that you give,
My hair grew longing eagerly.
பூமி எங்கும் பூவிருக்கும்
நீ கொடுக்கும் பூக்களுக்கு
ஏங்கி ஏங்கி வளர்ந்ததே என் கூந்தல்
Is not love
motherhood itself?
Is not love motherhood itself?
Aren't both of us
just children?
காதல் என்பது
தாய்மை அல்லவா
காதல் என்பது தாய்மை அல்லவா
நாம ரெண்டு பேருமே
குழந்தை அல்லவா
Without sleeping,
In a lullaby, should I open and see
the night and day?
தூங்காதே
தாலாட்டில் இரவு பகலை
திறந்து பார்க்கவா
Come, come... (4 times)
வா வா.....(4)
Ah, O Taj Mahal-like love,
O Taj Mahal-like love,
Come, you can live with us, come come.
ஆ தாஜ்மஹால் காதலே

எங்களோடு வாழலாம் வா வா
On earth to express love,
O flowers waiting eagerly,
You can spread your fragrance, come come.

தானியத்தை தேடுகின்ற
வேன் புறாவை போல நெஞ்சில்
சுத்தி சுத்து வந்ததடா உன்னால்
Searching for grains,
Like a white pigeon in the heart,
It kept circling around because of you, my guy.
ஆடு மேய்க்கும் சிறுவன் போல
ஆசைகள ஒட்டி கொண்டு எந்தன் நெஞ்சும்
வந்தது உன் பின்னால்
Like a boy herding goats,
Driving my desires along, my heart too
came behind you.
தென்றலோடு ஓடி வந்து
மூச்சுக்குள்ளே நீ கலக்க
எனென்னவோ செய்கிறாய் என்னை
Running along with the gentle breeze,
To blend inside my breath,
You do so many things to me!
வான வில்லின் சேலை கட்டி
ஊசி மின்னல் சாரல் கொட்டி
மூடி வைக்க சொல்கிறதே கண்ணை
Draping a saree made of a rainbow,
Pouring a shower of needle-like lightning,
You tell me to close my eyes.
கண்ணை பூட்டினாள்
காட்சி காட்டுவேன்
கண்ணை பூட்டினாள்
காட்சி காட்டுவேன்
வெட்கம் காட்டினால் கையை நீட்டுவேன்
If you close your eyes,
I will show you a vision.
If you close your eyes,
I will show you a vision.
If you show shyness, I will stretch out my hand.
உன்னாலே என் மேன்மை
கனிந்து கனிந்து சிவந்து போனதே
Because of you, my softness
ripened and turned red.
வா வா.....(4)
Come, come... (4 times)
