உன் மனசுல
பாட்டு தான் இருக்குது
என் மனசத கேட்டு தான்
தவிக்குது
In your heart
There is only song
My mind
Is yearning after asking for it
அதில் என்ன
வெச்சு பாட மாட்டியா
நெஞ்ச தொட்டு ஆளும்
ராசையா
Keeping me in it
Won't you sing?
Touching my heart
Oh my ruling king!
மனசு முழுதும்
இசை தான் உனக்கு
அதிலே எனக்கோர்
இடம் நீ ஒதுக்கு
Your whole heart
Is filled with music
In that, for me
Reserve a place
பாட்டாலே
புள்ளி வெச்சு பார்வையில
தள்ளி வெச்சு பூத்திருந்த
என்னை சேர்ந்த தேவனே
In your heart
There is only song
My mind
Is yearning after asking for it
போடாத சங்கதி
தான் போட ஒரு மேடை
உண்டு நாளு வெச்சு சேர
வாங்க ராசனே
Setting a dot through song
Pushing aside through looks
You joined me who was blooming
Oh my God!
நெஞ்சோடு
கூடு கட்டி நீங்க வந்து
வாழனும் நில்லாம பாட்டு
சொல்லி காலம் எல்லாம்
ஆளனும்
Variations not yet played
There is a stage to play them
Fix a auspicious date and come join me
Oh my King!
சொக்க தங்கம்
உங்களை தான் சொக்கி
சொக்கி பார்த்து தத்தளிச்சேன்
நித்தம் நித்தம் நான் பூத்து
Building a nest in my heart
You must come and live
Singing songs endlessly
You must rule all through time
உன் மனசுல
பாட்டு தான் இருக்குது
என் மனசத கேட்டு தான்
தவிக்குது
Pure gold like you
Looking fondly again and again
I struggled every single day
As I bloomed
நீ பாடும் ராகம்
வந்து நிம்மதிய தந்ததய்யா
நேற்று வரை நெஞ்சில் ஆச
தோணல
In your heart
There is only song
My mind
Is yearning after asking for it
பூவான பாட்டு
இந்த பொண்ண தொட்டு
போனதையா போன வழி
பார்த்த கண்ணு மூடல
The melody you sing
Has given me peace, my lord
Until yesterday, in my heart
Desire did not arise
உன்னோட
வாழ்ந்திருந்தா
ஊருக்கெல்லாம்
ராணி தான் என்னோட
ஆசை எல்லாம்
ஏத்துக்கணும் நீங்க தான்
This flower-like song
Touched this girl and went
Looking at the path it took
My eyes did not close
உங்கள தான்
எண்ணி எண்ணி என்
உசுரு வாழும் சொல்லுமைய்யா
நல்ல சொல்லு சொன்னா போதும்
If I live with you
I will be the queen to the whole town
All my desires
Only you must accept
என் மனசுல
பாட்டு தான் இருக்குது
உன் மனசத கேட்டு தான்
தவிக்குது
Thinking of you constantly
My life will endure
Tell me good news, my lord
It is enough if you just say it
நான் உன்னை
மட்டும் பாடும் குயிலு
தான் நீ என்னை எண்ணி
வாழும் மயிலு தான்
In my heart
There is only song
Your mind
Is yearning after hearing it
மனசு முழுதும்
இசைதான் எனக்கு
இசையொடுனக்கு
இடமும் இருக்கு
I am only
A cuckoo bird that sings for you
You are, thinking of me,
A peacock that lives
என் மனசுல
பாட்டு தான் இருக்குது
உன் மனசத கேட்டு தான்
தவிக்குது
My whole heart
Is filled only with music
Along with music
There is a place for you too
In my heart
There is only song
Your mind
Is yearning after hearing it
