துடிக்கும் நெஞ்சம்
ஒரு நொடி நிற்கும் ஏனோ
புதிதாய் மீண்டும்
பிறந்திட ஆசைதானோ
The beating heart
Why does it pause for a second?
Anew once again,
Is it a desire to be reborn?
துடிக்கும் நெஞ்சம்
ஒரு நொடி நிற்கும் ஏனோ
புதிதாய் மீண்டும்
பிறந்திடும் ஆசைதானோ
The beating heart
Why does it pause for a second?
Anew once again,
Is it a desire to be reborn?
ஒரு புறத்தை அரிக்க
மறும் புறம் பூ மிதக்க
நடப்பதை யார் தடுக்க
இருவருமே தவிக்க
While fire burns on one side,
Flowers float on the other side,
Who can stop what is happening,
As both of us yearn in agony?
அதிகம் பேசா நானும்
பேசிடும் நீயும் சேந்தோம்
இனிமேல் பேச்சா இல்லை
பார்வைகள் தானா அறியோம்
I, who do not talk much,
And you, who talk a lot, came together,
There are no words needed anymore,
Won't our gazes alone understand?
துடிக்கும் நெஞ்சம்
ஒரு நொடி நிற்கும் ஏனோ
புதிதாய் மீண்டும்
பிறந்திட ஆசைதானே
The beating heart
Why does it pause for a second?
Anew once again,
Is it a desire to be reborn?
நாளை இந்நேரம் என்னாகுமோ
நேற்றின் மாயங்கள் போல் ஆகுமா
முன்னம் ஓடாத கடிகாரம் முள் ஓடுமோ
What will happen at this time tomorrow?
Will it become like yesterday's magical moments?
Will the clock hands, which didn't move before, run now?
ஹா ..ஆஅ
துள்ளும் உள்ளத்தை வெளிகாட்டினாய்
கொல்லும் கூச்சங்கள் பழிவாங்குமோ
கொள்ளை ஆசைகள் இருந்தாலுமே மறைக்குமோ
Haa..aa, you revealed your leaping heart,
Will the killing shyness seek revenge?
Even if there are endless desires, will it hide them?
புகைப்போல தோன்றினாய்
திகைப்போடு தீண்டினாய்
நகைப்போடு போகிறாய்
போகிறாய் போகிறாய்
The beating heart
Why does it pause for a second?
Female: Hooo
Anew once again,
Is it a desire to be reborn?
துடிக்கும் நெஞ்சம்
ஒரு நொடி நிற்கும் ஏனோ
You, who do not talk much,
And I, who talk a lot, came together,
There are no words needed anymore,
Won't our gazes alone understand?
ஹோ
புதிதாய் மீண்டும்
பிறந்திட ஆசைதானே
Haa..aaa..
The beating heart
Why does it pause for a second?
Male: Anew once again,
Is it a desire to be reborn?
ஒரு புறத்தை அரிக்க
மறும் புறம் பூ மிதக்க
நடப்பதை யார் தடுக்க

பேசிடும் நீயும் சேந்தோம்
இனிமேல் பேச்சா இல்லை
பார்வைகள் தானா அறியோம்
ஹா ..ஆ
துடிக்கும் நெஞ்சம்
ஒரு நொடி நிற்கும் ஏனோ
புதிதாய் மீண்டும்
பிறந்திட ஆசைதானே
