வயது வா வா சொல்கிறது
இனியும் தடை என்ன கேட்கிறது
உனக்கும் எனக்கும் மத்தியிலே
ஒரு மதில் சுவர்தான் இன்று எழுகிறது
Youth beckons, saying come, come
It asks what barrier remains anymore
Between you and me
A wall is rising today
வயது வா வா சொல்கிறது
இனியும் தடை என்ன கேட்கிறது
உனக்கும் எனக்கும் மத்தியிலே
ஒரு மதில் சுவர்தான் இன்று எழுகிறது
Youth beckons, saying come, come
It asks what barrier remains anymore
Between you and me
A wall is rising today
காதல் நிலவே காதல் நிலவே
வெளிச்சம் வேண்டாம் போய் விடு
கண்கள் மூடி கனவில் நானும்
அவளை சேரும் காலம் இது
Oh love moon, oh love moon
Light is not needed, go away
Closing my eyes, in a dream I am
This is the time to unite with her
வயது வா வா சொல்கிறது
இனியும் தடை என்ன கேட்கிறது
உனக்கும் எனக்கும் மத்தியிலே
ஒரு மதில் சுவர்தான் இன்று எழுகிறது
Youth beckons, saying come, come
It asks what barrier remains anymore
Between you and me
A wall is rising today
தலை முதல் கால் வரை
நீ ஒரு ரகசியம்
ஆ.. வயதுக்கு வந்தபின்
ஒவ்வொன்றும் அதிசயம்
From head to toe
You are a secret mystery
After coming of age
Every single thing is a wonder
ஓ.....ஒரு பூ வாசமே உன் மேல்
இது நாள் மட்டுமே கண்டேன்
அது பெண் வாசமாய் மாற
அதை நான் சுவாசமாய் கொண்டேன்
Oh, only the fragrance of flowers was upon you
Until today, that is all I saw
As it transformed into a woman's scent
I took that in as my breath
ஆஹா …
ஆஹா …
ஏனோ நான்
முதல் முறை சிவக்கிறேன்
Ahaa... Male: Ahaa...
Female: I wonder why I am blushing for the first time...
வயது வா வா சொல்கிறது
இனியும் தடை என்ன கேட்கிறது
உனக்கும் எனக்கும் மத்தியிலே
ஒரு மதில் சுவர்தான் இன்று எழுகிறது
Youth beckons, saying come, come
It asks what barrier remains anymore
Between you and me
A wall is rising today
ஆ.. ஹா… இலைகளில் தூங்கிடும்
பனித்துளி சேர்க்கிறேன்
என் விரல் நுனியிலே
உன் இதழ்களை ஊற்றினேன்
Aaaa...aaa....aa....
Sleeping on the leaves
I collect the dew drops
On my fingertips
And poured it onto your lips
உன் நிர்வாணமும் கூட
அடி சாதாரணம் நேற்று
உன் கால் கெண்டையின் மென்மை
அது தீ மூட்டுதே இன்று
பார்வை பார்வை பார்த்தால்
என் நரம்புகள் சிலிக்குது
Even your innocence and nudity
My girl, was ordinary yesterday
The tenderness of your calf
It sparks a fire today
வயது வா வா சொல்கிறது
இனியும் தடை என்ன கேட்கிறது
உனக்கும் எனக்கும் மத்தியிலே
ஒரு மதில் சுவர்தான் இன்று எழுகிறது
When glance meets glance
My nerves tingle with passion
காதல் நிலவே காதல் நிலவே
வெளிச்சம் வேண்டாம் போய் விடு
கண்கள் மூடி கனவில் நானும்
அவளை சேரும் காலம் இது
Youth beckons, saying come, come
It asks what barrier remains anymore
Female: Between you and me
A wall is rising today
வயது வா வா சொல்கிறது
இனியும் தடை என்ன கேட்கிறது
உனக்கும் எனக்கும் மத்தியிலே
ஒரு மதில் சுவர்தான் இன்று எழுகிறது
Oh love moon, oh love moon
Light is not needed, go away
Closing my eyes, in a dream I am
This is the time to unite with her
