ஹ்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம் ஆ
ஹ்ம்ம் அழகா ஏதேதோ மாயம்
அழகாய் பூக்குதே
நிலவு மீது ஆகாசம் போலே
நிலவாய் மாறுதே
(Humming)
Hmm, beautifully, some magic...
...is blooming so gorgeously.
Like the sky resting over the moon,
it transforms into the moonlight itself.
வலையோசையும் இசை ஆகுதே
நீயே சங்கீதம்
சிரிப்பு ஓசையில் சிறகாகுதே
நீயே சந்தோசம்
Even the sound of bangles turns into music,
you yourself are the melody.
In the sound of laughter, wings take flight,
you yourself are happiness.
காதலின் வேகத்தில் காணாத ஆழத்தில் கரைந்தேன் உனை நானும்
கண்களின் ஓரத்தில் பொன்னான
உன் முகம் கண்டாள் மலர்வேன் நானும்
Shall I get drenched in the waves of desires?
Shall I open my heart through words?
Shall I express my heart softly and deeply?
Or shall I hide it within as waves obstruct?
துள்ளும் நெஞ்சம் உன்னில் தஞ்சம்
நீயே நானும் நாளும்
இன்னும் இன்னும் வேண்டும் கொஞ்சம் நாட்கள் மேலும் நீளும்
If you just utter my name,
I blossom wings inside my soul.
Pinching my own cheeks,
I smile standing in front of the mirror.
My life, my life... my life, my life, my beloved word!
ஆசைகளின் அலையினில் நனைவேனா
வார்த்தைகளில் எம் மனம் திறப்பேனா
ஆறாகவே உள்ளத்தை உறைபேனா
அலைகள் தடுக்கவே உள்ளதை மறைப்பேனா
My leaping heart finds its sanctuary in you,
you and I, together every day.
I want a little more, and even more,
may these days stretch on and endure.
நீ தான் என் பேரை சொன்னாள்
சிறக்காய் ஆவேனே உள்ளே
நானே என் கண்ணம் கிள்ளி
சிரிப்பேன் கண்ணாடி முன்னே
இருவர் :
உயிரே உயிரே...உயிரே உயிரே என் சொல்லே
My leaping heart finds its sanctuary in you,
you and I, together every day.
I want a little more, and even more,
may these days stretch on and endure.
துள்ளும் நெஞ்சம் உன்னில் தஞ்சம்
நீயே நானும் நாளும்
இன்னும் இன்னும் வேண்டும் கொஞ்சம் நாட்கள் மேலும் நீளும்
இருவர் :
உயிரே உயிரே...இணைவோம் இக்கணமே
உயிரே உயிரே...
உயிரில் ஓர் கலனமே
My leaping heart finds its sanctuary in you,
you and I, together every day.
I want a little more, and even more,
may these days stretch on and endure.
துள்ளும் நெஞ்சம் உன்னில் தஞ்சம்
நீயே நானும் நாளும்
இன்னும் இன்னும் வேண்டும் கொஞ்சம் நாட்கள் மேலும் நீளும்
(Humming)
{துள்ளும் நெஞ்சம் உன்னில் தஞ்சம்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poetic track portrays the delicate blooming of love and the quiet euphoria that accompanies it. The protagonist describes how mundane daily sounds—like the chiming of bangles or subtle laughter—turn into sweet music in the presence of their beloved. The lyrics capture the inner hesitation of wanting to reveal one's deep affection versus keeping it hidden inside, ultimately resolving into pure excitement when the beloved speaks their name.
