ஹேய் பட்டாம்பூச்சி பட்டாம்பூச்சி
வெட்கப்பட்டு சிரிக்குது
கடா மீசை கடா மீசை
எட்டி கட்டி பிடிக்குது
பொத்தி வச்ச ஆசை எல்லாம்
பத்திக்கிட்டு எரியுது
காதல் என்னும் புயல் இப்போ
கூரை பிய்க்க அடிக்குது...
ஏ ஏ ஏ ஏ
Hey butterfly, butterfly
Laughs with shyness
Thick mustache, thick mustache
Reaches out and holds tightly
All the desires kept hidden
Are catching fire and burning
The storm called love now
Is blowing the roof away..
Eh eh eh eh
மூச்சு நிக்குது
பேச்சு திக்குது
மனசு சொக்குது உன்னாலே
Breath catches
Speech stammers
Heart gets mesmerized because of you
ஆசை பின்னுது
உசுர தின்னுது
ஏதோ பன்னுது உன்னாலே
Desire entangles
Consumes my soul
Does something to me because of you
புதுசாக என்ன ஆரம்பிச்ச
கனவால நெஞ்ச ஊற வச்ச
அழகாலே என்ன ஆற வச்ச
குழு :
ஹைய்யோ ஹைய்யோ ஹைய்யோ
What new thing did you start in me?
Drenched my heart in dreams
Cooled me down with beauty
Chorus: Oh my, oh my, oh my
விரல் நீட்டி என்ன வேகவச்ச
சுகமாக என்ன சாகவச்ச
என்ன தாண்டி என்ன நோகவச்ச
குழு :
ஹைய்யோ ஹைய்யோ ஹைய்யோ
Pointed a finger and made me sizzle
Pleasantly made me die of joy
Made me go beyond myself
Chorus: Oh my, oh my, oh my

மூச்சு நிக்குது பேச்சு திக்குது
மனசு சொக்குது உன்னாலே
That you were searching for a house for rent
I heard that news in town
Oh yes, I heard
A small cradle inside a flower
I vacated it for you to live in
Oh yes, I vacated it
நீ வாடகைக்கு வீடு தேடும்
சேதி தான் ஊருக்குள்ளே கேட்டேன்
அடி கேட்டேன்
நான் பூவில் இருக்கும் தொட்டில் ஒன்றை
நீ வசிக்க காலி செய்து வைத்தேன்
அடி வைத்தேன்
You came in the water
You came as a drizzle
You came in person and changed everything
I leaped continuously without rest
நீரில் வந்தாய்
சாரல் தந்தாய்
நேரில் வந்தாய் மாற்றுகின்றாய்
ஓய்வில்லாமே துள்ளினேனே
The weight of a flower
The weight of the breeze
The sum of both is your light weight
Give me one kiss, or else
Everyone will place a finger on their nose in awe
பூவின் எடை
காற்றின் எடை
சேர்த்த விடை உந்தன் எடை
ஒன்னு கொடு மூக்கு மேலே
விரலு வைக்குமே
My precious gold, my gold, what happened?
Seeing you, joy overflowed in my heart like Pongal
Female: My precious gold, my gold, what happened?
Ah, suddenly life became colorful!
தங்கமே தங்கமே என்ன ஆச்சு
உன்னப் பாத்ததும் நெஞ்சிலே பொங்கலாச்சு
தங்கமே தங்கமே என்ன
ஆச்சு
அட சட்டுன்னு வாழ்க்கையே வண்ணமாச்சு
Your handwriting
Written upon
On that paper I saw a rainbow
I blossomed
உந்தன் கை யெழுத்து
போட்டு வைத்த
காகிதத்தில் வானவில்லைப் பார்த்தேன்
நான் பூத்தேன்
Where your feet walked
All along the pathway
I gathered the dust and strung it like flowers
I infused my life into them
உந்தன் கால்கள் வந்த
பாதை எங்கும்
மண்ணெடுத்து பூக்களாகப் கோர்த்தேன்
உயிர் சேர்த்தேன்
