டம் டகா டம் டகா டம் டகா டம் ........(4)
Dum daka dum daka dum daka dum..(4)
தொடுவானந்தா கொடசாயுதே…
ஒரு நேசந்தான் கைய கோத்திடுதே…
ஓ ஹோ ஹோ தூரமா…
ஓ ஹோ ஹோ போகலாம்…
ஓ ஹோ ஹோ மேகமா…
ஓ ஹோ ஹோ மாறலாம்…
The horizon tilts like an umbrella
A sweet affection holds hands
Oh, let us go far away
Oh, let us turn into clouds
இனி மனம் போலே டமக்கு டமக்கு…
இனி மனம் போலே டமக்கு டமக்கு…
இந்த மண் மேலே டமக்கு டமக்கு…
இந்த மண்மேலே…
Now as the heart wishes, damakku damakku
Now as the heart wishes, damakku damakku
Upon this earth, damakku damakku
Upon this earth
நீ உரையாடி விடிய விடிய…
ஊர் கத பேசு நிறைய நிறைய…
இந்த ரா முழுசும் நிலவு எரியும்…
அட உறங்காதே…
Speak on until dawn breaks
Talk plenty of stories from the town
The moon will glow through this entire night
Oh, do not fall asleep
டும்டக்கு டும்டக்கு டும்டக்கு டும் டும்…(4)
Dum daka dum daka dum daka dum..(4)
ஓ சக்கர கட்டியா மாறுதே நொடி…
அக்கறை கட்டுர மனச நீ பிடி…
நெஞ்சுல மொளைக்குர ஆச காத்துல ஏறி ஊஞ்சல் ஆடுதே…
Oh, every moment turns into a cube of sugar
Hold onto this heart that pours boundless care
The desire echoing in the chest rides the breeze and swings like a cradle
ரெக்கைய கட்டுதே கட்டுதே நொடி…
மின்னல வெட்டுதே வெட்டுதே விழி…
மின்மினி வார்த்தைய பேசி…
இரு உசிர் எங்கோ ஊர்வலம் போயிடுதே…
அட காதலின் கண்ணுல ரெண்டுமே மாட்டிடுதே…
Every moment ties wings to itself
The eyes flash like lightning strikes
Speaking firefly words, two lives march together in a procession somewhere
Oh, both get caught in the eyes of love
புரியாத உறவாக நீ உசிர்காட்டில் பூக்குற…
நொடியேனும் விளகாத ஓர் நினைப்பாக மாறுற…
கரையேற தெரிஞ்சாலும் நான் உனக்குள்ள மூல்குகிறேன்…
Like an unfathomable bond, you blossom in the forest of life
With every passing moment, you turn into an indelible memory
Even though I know how to reach the shore, I submerge within you
இந்த காலம் நீளுமா…
வழிகாட்டி போவுமா…
அட ஏங்குதே ஏங்குதே பார்வையில் கேக்குதே…
வாஞ்சையா பூங்குருவி…
Will this time extend forever?
Will it guide the path ahead?
Oh, longing deeply, the flower-like bird asks through its gaze
அடகூண்டை விட்டுத்தான் ஒரு கூடு கட்டுதே…
அது மெல்லமா மெல்லமா ஆடுதே ஆடுதே…
இன்னோரு பூமிய காட்டிடுதே…
Leaving its cage, it builds a new nest
It sways so softly and gently
It reveals another world entirely
அதில் உரையாடு விடிய விடிய…
ஊர்கதை பேசு நெறய நெறய…
இந்த ரா முழுசும் நிலவு எரியும்…
அட உறங்காதே…
Speak within it until dawn breaks
Talk plenty of stories from the town
The moon will burn bright all night
Oh, do not sleep
டும்டக்கு டும்டக்கு டும்டக்கு டும் டும்…(4)
Dum daka dum daka dum daka dum..(4)
மருதாணி சிவப்பாக நீ நிறங்கூட்டி போகுற…
தவமேதும் கொடுக்காத ஓர் வரம்போல சேருற…
எனக்கேதான் தெரியாம நா உனக்குள்ள வாழுறேன்…
You color my world bright like henna redness
You join me like a divine boon obtained without penance
Without me even knowing, I am living inside you
இந்த கூத்து இனிக்கிது…
தன்னத்தானே மறக்குது…
இது என்னது என்னது யாருக்கு தெரியுமோ…
யார் செஞ்ச மந்திரமோ…
This magical play feels sweet
It forgets itself completely
Who knows what this emotion truly is?
Whose spell of magic could this be?
நிஜமாக நிலைக்குமா…
கனவாகி கலையுமா…
அந்த ரெண்டுக்கும் மத்தியில்…
சிக்குதே சொக்குதே சத்தமில்லாம சொக்கிடுதே…
Will it endure as reality?
Or dissolve away as a dream?
Caught right between those two, it gets mesmerized
It quietly loses itself in ecstasy
இனி மனம் போலே டமக்கு டமக்கு…
இனி மனம் போலே டமக்கு டமக்கு…
இந்த மண் மேலே டமக்கு டமக்கு…
இந்த மண்மேலே…
Now as the heart wishes, damakku damakku
Now as the heart wishes, damakku damakku
Upon this earth, damakku damakku
Upon this earth
