Hmm mm hmm mmm

உயிரே என் உயிரே
எந்த திசை போகிறாய்
கனவே என் கனவே
அவள் இன்றி தோன்றினாய்
Oh my life, my life!
Which direction are you heading?
Oh dream, my dream!
You appeared without her presence.
எனக்குள்ளே நிகழ்ந்ததை
எழுதினேன் கனவுகளில்
கனவுகள் நிஜம் என்று
நிறுத்தினேன் நினைவுகளில்
Whatever happened within me,
I wrote down in my dreams.
That dreams are reality,
I proved in my memories.
உயிரே என் உயிரே
எந்த திசை போகிறாய்
Oh my life, my life!
Which direction are you heading?
போச்சு போச்சுடா போச்சுடா
பல பேச்சலர் கனவுகள் போச்சுடா
மூச்சு மூச்சுடா மூச்சுடா
அவ கூடவே போகுது மூச்சுடா
Gone, it is gone, my friend!
Many bachelor dreams are gone, my friend!
Gone, it is gone, my friend!
My breath is leaving along with her, my friend!
ஒரு முறை ஒரு முறை பார்த்துக்க
இனி பார்த்திட தருணம் வராது
ஏக்கத்தை முழுசா தீத்துக்க
இனி பேசவும் பழகவும் தகாது
போச்சுடா போச்சுடா போச்சுடா...ஆ....
Look at her just once, just once.
The opportunity to look at her won't come again.
Fulfill your longing completely.
It won't be proper to talk or be close anymore.
It's gone, it's gone, it's gone... ah...
கல்விச்சாலை நாளில்
சாய்ந்திருந்தாய் தோளில்
அந்த சுகம் காதல் என்கிறேன்
என்னை சுற்றி நீயும்
உன்னை சுற்றி நானும்
வந்ததுதான் காதல் என்கிறேன்
During the school/college days,
You leaned on my shoulder.
I call that pleasant feeling love.
You revolving around me,
And I revolving around you,
That coming around is what I call love.
உன் பார்வைகள் மூலம்
நீ தந்த ஏக்கம்
அதன் பெயர் காதல் என்கிறேன்
உன் வார்த்தைகள் மூலம்
நான் கொண்ட மோகம்
அதை நான் காதல் என்கிறேன்
உன் நினைவே சுவாசம் என்றால்
உண்மை என்கிறேன்
Through your glances,
The longing you gave,
I call that by the name of love.
Through your words,
The passion I felt,
I call that love.
If your memory is my breath,
I call it the ultimate truth.
உயிரே என் உயிரே
உயிரே என் உயிரே
Oh my life, my life!
Oh my life, my life!
ஆஹாஹா ....ஆ.....ஆஅ.....ஆ....ஆஅ....

தித்திக்கும் தித்திக்கும்
வாலிபர் கூட்டங்களும்
முட்டிதான் ருசிக்கத்தான்
கண்களின் பார்வைகளும்
இது மகரந்தம்
சேர்ந்திடும் நேரம்
பல வண்டுகள் வட்டம் போடும்
அடி பல பல மின்னும்
பொன்னிற மேனியை
சந்தன சாரல் மூடும்
அடி பழம்கொத்தி தின்னும்
பார்வைகள் பார்த்தால்
கனி என உன்னை தீண்டும்
தந்தன தந்தன தானனானான
Sweet and delightful,
Groups of young men too,
To bump into and taste,
The glances from their eyes.
This is pollen,
The time when pollen gathers,
Many bees will circle around.
Hey girl, shining brilliantly,
On your golden-hued body,
A spray of sandalwood will cover you.
Hey, like fruit-pecking,
If birds look at you,
They will touch you considering you a sweet fruit.
Thandhana thandhana thaanananana
ஹா....ஆஆ....ஹா....ஆஅ....
Haa...aaa...haaa....aaa...
புத்தகங்கள் ஏல்லாம்
முத்தங்களின் காயம்
மூடி வைத்து பாதுகாக்கிறேன்
என் அறையில் எங்கும்
உன் பெயரின் கீறல்
இன்னும் அதை பூஜை செய்கிறேன்
In all my books,
The marks/wounds of kisses,
I keep hidden and protected.
Everywhere in my room,
Scribbles of your name,
I still worship them today.
உன் விரல் பட்டு
என் இடம் உள்ள
காகிதத்தில் உன்னை பார்க்கிறேன்
உன் தலை தொட்ட
பூக்களை கூட
பத்திரமா சேர்த்து வைக்கிறேன்
தேவதையே உன்னை மட்டும்
தொலைத்தேன் என்கிறேன்
Touched by your fingers,
Present here with me,
I see you in the paper.
The flowers that touched your head,
Even those flowers,
I carefully keep and preserve.
Oh angel, you alone,
I say I have lost.
உயிரே என் உயிரே
எந்த திசை போகிறாய்
கனவே என் கனவே
அவள் இன்றி தோன்றினாய்
Oh my life, my life!
Which direction are you heading?
Oh dream, my dream!
You appeared without her presence.
