வானிலை சுகம் சுகம்…
வாட்டுதோர் முகம் முகம்…
The weather is so pleasant, so pleasant,
A circular face keeps hovering in my heart.
நான் தனிமையில் தோய்ந்திட
தவிப்பினில் தேய்ந்திட
ஏனோ விரும்புகிறேன்
To be immersed in solitude,
To wear away in yearning,
Why do I desire it so?
உன் மடியில் சாய்ந்திட
மலெரன வீழந்திட
நாளும் அரும்புகிறேன்
To lean back on your lap,
To fall like a flower,
I blossom every single day.
நான் என்னையும் மீறி
வெண்நிலவாகித் ததும்புகிறேன்…
Surpassing even myself,
I brim over like the white full moon.
வானிலை சுகம் சுகம்…
வாட்டுதோர் முகம் முகம்…
The weather is so pleasant, so pleasant,
A circular face keeps hovering in my heart.
பார்த்த முதல் நாளே…
பேசும் கலையாலே…
ஈர்த்து செல்வான்…
என் கதாநாயகன்
From the very first day we met,
With his charming art of speaking,
He pulls me toward him,
My protagonist.
கைகள் ஆடாமல்
பேசத் தெரியாதே
காற்றுக்கும் ஏதோ…
கதை சொல்பவன்
Without moving his hands,
He does not know how to speak;
Even to the gentle wind,
He tells stories.
பாடல்களை நான் ரசித்தேன்
நீ ரசித்தாய் சேர்ந்தினி
ஒன்றாக நாம் ரசிப்போம்
இரவுகளை கார்த்திகை மாா்கழி மாதத்து
முன்பனி நிலாவில் நாம் களிப்போம்
ஒரு கற்பனை மீறும்
உன்னத வாழ்வை வாழ்ந்திருப்போம்…
I enjoyed the songs,
You enjoyed them too, and now together,
We shall enjoy them as one.
In the nights of Kaarthigai,
And during the month of Maargazhi,
We shall rejoice under the early morning misty moonlight.
A life beyond all imagination,
A magnificent life we shall live.
வானிலை சுகம் சுகம்…
வாட்டுதோர் முகம் முகம்…
The weather is so pleasant, so pleasant,
A circular face keeps hovering in my heart.
பெண் குழு :
ஏதேதோ எண்ணம் வருகுது
எங்கேயோ ஏக்கம் பெருகுது…
என் நெஞ்சில் வாதை நிறையுது
அதுதானே வார்த்தையாகுது
You too love the drizzle,
Holding hands together,
It invites us to get drenched.
Aha, just thinking about it gives me goosebumps!
Memories at the corner of my heart,
பெண் குழு :
ஏதேதோ எண்ணம் வருகுது
எங்கேயோ ஏக்கம் பெருகுது…
என் நெஞ்சில் வாதை நிறையுது
அதுதானே வார்த்தையாகுது
Become reeds by the riverbank.
To whom will they express their bending?
To whom will they express their feeling of cold?
My riddle will be solved only by you.
தூவானம் பிடிக்குமே உனக்கும்
கை கோர்த்து நனையவே அழைக்கும்
ஆஹா… ஹா… நினைக்கவே சிலிர்க்கும்
நெஞ்சோரம் நினைவுகள்
The weather is so pleasant, so pleasant,
A circular face keeps hovering in my heart.
நதிக்கரை நானல்கள் ஆகும்…
தான் வளைவதை யாரிடம் கூறும்
குளிர்வதை யாரிடம் கூறும்…
என் விடுகதை உன்னால் தான் தீரும்…
To be immersed in solitude,
To wear away in yearning,
Why do I desire it so?
வானிலை சுகம் சுகம்…
வாட்டுதோர் முகம் முகம்…
To lean back on your lap,
To fall like a flower,
I blossom every single day.
நான் தனிமையில் தோய்ந்திட
தவிப்பினில் தேய்ந்திட
ஏனோ விரும்புகிறேன்
Surpassing even myself,
I brim over like the white full moon.
உன் மடியில் சாய்ந்திட
மலெரன வீழந்திட
நாளும் அரும்புகிறேன்
Sky, sky everywhere,
Everywhere in the sky... everywhere in the sky,
Aha aha aha, everywhere in the sky,
Everywhere in the sky, everywhere in the sky,
நான் என்னையும் மீறி
வெண்நிலவாகித் ததும்புகிறேன்…
Aha, everywhere in the sky,
Sky, sky everywhere,
Everywhere in the sky, everywhere in the sky... (overlapping vocals)
