ராப்பகலா அழுதாச்சு
கண்ணு ரெண்டும் வாடிபோச்சு
நாப்பது நாள் விடிஞ்சாச்சு
துரும்பென எழசாச்சு
I have wept day and night
Both my eyes have withered
Forty days have passed
I have become thin like a straw
ஆசை நோய் ஆராதையா
மசங்கு விழி கசங்குதையா
கை பிடிக்க நீயும்
The disease of desire won't heal
My dimming eyes are suffering
You too to hold my hands
வாயா என் வீரா
கன்னக்குழி குழி காஞ்சி கெடக்குது
வாயா என் வீரா
நெஞ்சு வலி வலி கொஞ்சம்
மறைஞ்சி போகட்டும்
வாயா என் வீரா
கண்ணுகுழி குழி காஞ்சி கெடக்குது
வாயா நீ வாயா
மயில் தோகை மேலே
மலையை போலேவே...ஏ...
Come, my hero
My dimpled cheek lies dry
Come, my hero
Let the pain in my heart fade away a bit
Come.. my hero..
My dimpled cheek lies dry
Come.. you come
Like rain on a peacock's feathers...
மூச்சு காத்துல
மாறுதம் போல மாமா...வா
மார்போடு பாஞ்சிக்கோ
கொஞ்சம் சாஞ்சிக்கோ
என்ன மேஞ்சிக்கோ நிதானமா
Like a storm in breath's breeze
Uncle... come
Pounce onto my chest
Lean a little
Graze upon me gently
ராசாவே ஒன் ரோசா பூவும்
நான்தானே நெஞ்சில்
என்ன வெதச்சிக்கோ
கொஞ்சம் அணைசிக்கோ
என்ன வளச்சிக்கோ தாராளமா
King, am I not your rose flower?
In your heart
Sow me
Embrace me a little
Wrap around me generously
நீளாதோ நீ
எனை தீண்டும் நிமிஷங்கள்
நூறு ஜென்மம் போனால் என்ன
நீதான் என் சொந்தம்
Won't they last long?
The moments when you touch me
Even if a hundred lifetimes pass
You alone are my belongings
வாயா என் வீரா
கன்னக்குழி குழி காஞ்சி கெடக்குது
வாயா என் வீரா
நெஞ்சு வலி வலி கொஞ்சம்
மறைஞ்சி போகட்டும்
வாயா என் வீரா
கண்ணுகுழி குழி காஞ்சி கெடக்குது
வாயா நீ வாயா
மயில் தோகை மேலே
மலையை போலேவே...ஏ...
Come, my hero
My dimpled cheek lies dry
Come, my hero
Let the pain in my heart fade away a bit
Come.. my hero..
My dimpled cheek lies dry
Come.. you come
Like rain on a peacock's feathers...
வாயா என் வீரா....(6)
Come my hero...
கார்த்திகை போச்சு
மார்கழி ஆச்சு
பனி காத்தும்
அனல் போலே கொதிக்குதே
நதி துடிக்குதே பறி தவிக்குதே
பாயமாத்தான்
Kaarthigai month passed
Margazhi month arrived
Even the chilly wind
Boils like fire
The river is pulsing
And yearning helplessly
Without flowing away
பாவை தாவம்
யாருக்கு லாபம்
புயலோடு
எலபோல உசுறோடுதே
உன் கூடவே உன்னை தேடுதே
ஓயாமதான்
A young woman's longing
Who benefits from it?
Along with the grass
It lives like a leaf
It searches for you while being with you
Unceasingly
வாழாதே பூங்கொடி
காற்றே வருடாமல்
விண்வெளியே வானவில் போல்
உன்னால்.....மறாதோ
The flowering vine will not survive
Without the breeze stroking it
Like a rainbow in space
Won't it change because of you?
வாயா என் வீரா
கன்னக்குழி குழி காஞ்சி கெடக்குது
வாயா என் வீரா
நெஞ்சு வலி வலி கொஞ்சம்
மறைஞ்சி போகட்டும்
வாயா என் வீரா
கண்ணுகுழி குழி காஞ்சி கெடக்குது
வாயா நீ வாயா
மயில் தோகை மேலே
மலையை போலேவே...ஏ.......
Come, my hero
My dimpled cheek lies dry
Come, my hero
Let the pain in my heart fade away a bit
Come.. my hero..
My dimpled cheek lies dry
Come.. you come
Like rain on a peacock's feathers...
Hmm mmm mm mm mm mm
Hmm mmm mm mm mm mm
Hmm mmm mm mm
