வாழ்வினில் உன்னினைவால் வாழுகின்றேன்
வாழ்வினில் உன்னினைவால் வாழுகின்றேன்
நாளும் ஆசையினால் ஆடுகின்றேன்
வாழ்வினில் உன்னினைவால் வாழுகின்றேன்
I live my life in your memory
I live my life in your memory
Every day I dance with desire
I live my life in your memory
கலைகளை கால்களிலே காண்கின்றேன்
கை வளை ஓசையிலும் காண்கிறேன்
கலைகளை கால்களிலே காண்கின்றேன்
கை வளை ஓசையிலும் காண்கிறேன்
I see fine arts in your footsteps
I see art even in the sound of your bangles
I see fine arts in your footsteps
I see art even in the sound of your bangles
மணக்கும் பணத்தில் மயங்கும் உனக்கு
ஆசைகள் புரண்டு ஓடவே மனமும் ஆடவே
அழகில் அழகிய கலைமகளே.........
வாழ்வினில் உன்னினைவால் வாழுகின்றேன்
நாளும் ஆசையினால் ஆடுகின்றேன்
வாழ்வினில் உன்னினைவால் வாழுகின்றேன்
For you who swoons in this fragrant journey
As desires roll and race, making the heart dance
O Goddess of Arts, the most beautiful among the beautiful
I live my life in your memory
Every day I dance with desire
I live my life in your memory
ஓரம்போ என்று என்னை ஒதுக்காதே
ஒதவாத பேர்களை போல விரட்டாதே
......................................................
ஓரம்போ என்று என்னை ஒதுக்காதே
.....................................................................
ஓரம்போ என்று என்னை ஒதுக்காதே
ஒதவாத பேர்களை போல விரட்டாதே
வாங்கோண்ணா என்று அழைத்தாலே
வாங்கோண்ணா என்றாலே வாய் முத்து உதிர்ந்திடும்..ஆ...
Do not push me aside telling me to move to the side
Do not chase me away like useless people
...
Do not push me aside telling me to move to the side
...
Do not push me aside telling me to move to the side
Do not chase me away like useless people
If you call out 'Come along, brother'
Just saying 'Come' makes pearls drop from your mouth... ah...
அள்ளுரே மனதை கிள்ளுரே அழகு கள்ளியே
அருகில் வந்து நில்லடி
மெல்லமாய் எனது மெல்லிசை இருந்து
கொல்லுதே இதையும் கேட்டு கொல்லடி
You captivate my heart, you pinch my soul, beautiful thief
Come and stand near me, my dear
My gentle music slowly lingers
It mesmerizes me to death; listen to this, my dear
இளமயிலே குலமகளே புது ரயிலே இளவெயிலே
இளமயிலே குலமகளே
புது ரயிலே இளவெயிலே
மனதில் இனித்து மலரென சிரித்து
மயங்க மயங்க நடந்த இளையவளே
வாழ்வினில் உன்னினைவால் வாழுகின்றேன்
நாளும் ஆசையினால் ஆடுகின்றேன்
வாழ்வினில் உன்னினைவால் வாழுகின்றேன்
வாழுகின்றேன் வாழுகின்றேன் வாழுகின்றேன்.....
