என் கண்ணெல்லாம்
உன்னை தேடி பாக்க என்
நெனப்பெல்லாம் உன்னை
பத்தி கேக்க
My eyes entirely
Look out seeking for you
All my thoughts
Ask only about you…
வந்தேன் எதிர்பாத்து
வந்தேனே நின்னேன்
எதிர்காத்தில் நின்னேனே
I came in anticipation
Yes, I came
I stood in the headwind
Yes, I stood…
தலகாலு
புரியலையே தரைமேல
நிக்கலையே ஒரு நாளும்
இதுபோல மனசெல்லாம்
பூக்கலையே
I cannot make head or tail of it
My feet are not touching the ground
Never before like this
Has my heart blossomed so fully…
வெள்ளாட்டு
மணியை போல
நெஞ்சோரம் பேசி
போறே வெங்காட்டு
கோரை போல காய
வைக்கிறியே
Like the bell on a white goat
You chime in my heart as you pass
Like grass in the dry desert wind
You leave me parched…
{ கிடாரியே உன்
போல ஊருக்குள் யாரும்
இல்லை கிடாரியே உன்னால
யாருக்கும் தூக்கம் இல்லை } (2)
Oh Kidaari, like you
There is no one in this town
Oh Kidaari, because of you
No one gets any sleep…
மனச மனசால
அலச நெனச்சேனே உன்
மீசை நுனியினிலே நான்
தூங்க தவிக்குறேன்
Heart with heart
I wanted to examine closely
On the tip of your mustache
I yearn to sleep…
உசுர உசுராலே
உரச நெனச்சேனே உன்
நெருப்பு கண்ணுல நான்
உருக துடிக்குறேன்
Life with life
I wanted to brush against
In your fiery eyes
I ache to melt away…
ஊடு பாயும்
விரல்கள் குத்தீட்டி
தானுங்க இன்னும்
என்ன சொல்ல
பத்தாட்டி கேளுங்க
Fingers moving swiftly like tiles
Are like sharp spears
What more can I say
Listen with a pounding heart…
தலகாலு
புரியலையே தரைமேல
நிக்கலையே ஒரு நாளும்
இதுபோல மனசெல்லாம்
பூக்கலையே
I cannot make head or tail of it
My feet are not touching the ground
Never before like this
Has my heart blossomed so fully…
கோபம் காட்டாம
பயத்தை தருவானே இவன்
போற போக்கை பாத்து அட
ஊரே நிக்குது வேர்த்து
Without showing anger
He instills fear
Seeing the way he moves
Ah, the whole town stands drenched in sweat…
பூவா தலையானு
விழுந்தா தெரிஞ்சிக்கலாம்
இவன் முடிவை சொல்ல
யாரும் முடியாதே எப்போதும்
Heads or tails
We can know once the coin falls
But to predict his decision, no one
Can ever do so…
பாசம் ரோஷம்
ரெண்டும் உள்ளாற
வாழுதே பார்வை பேசும்
போதே பயம் கூடுதே
Both affection and pride
Live deep inside him
Even when his gaze speaks
The fear only increases…
{ கிடாரியே உன்
போல ஊருக்குள் யாரும்
இல்லை கிடாரியே உன்னால
யாருக்கும் தூக்கம் இல்லை } (2)
