எதுவரை போகலாம்
என்று நீ சொல்லவேண்டும்
என்றுதான் விடாமல்
கேட்கிறேன்
How far can we go?
You must tell me this.
That is why... I keep asking relentlessly...
தேன் முத்தங்கள்
மட்டுமே போதும் என்று
சொல்வதால் தொடாமல்
போகிறேன்
Sweet kisses of honey alone
Are enough, since you say so
I walk away without touching you...
யாரோ யாரோ
கனாக்களில் நாளும் நீ
சென்று உலாவுகின்றவள்
நீ காணும் கனாக்களில்
வரும் ஓர் ஆண் என்றால்
நான்தான் எந்நாளிலும்
In many different people's dreams
You are the one who wanders every day
In the dreams that you see, if a man appears
That will be me on every single day
பூங்காற்றே நீ
வீசாதே ஓஓஓஓ
பூங்காற்றே நீ வீசாதே
நான்தான் இங்கே விசிறி
O gentle breeze, do not blow
Oooooo..
O gentle breeze, do not blow
I am the hand-fan here
என் வீட்டில் நீ
நிற்கின்றாய் அதை
நம்பாமல் என்னை
கிள்ளிக்கொண்டேன்
தோட்டத்தில் நீ நிற்கின்றாய்
உன்னை பூவென்று எண்ணி
கொய்ய சென்றேன்
You are standing inside my home
Unable to believe it, I pinched myself
You are standing in the garden
Thinking of you as a flower, I went to pluck you..
புகழ் பூமாலைகள்
தேன் சோலைகள் நான்
கண்டேன் ஏன் உன் பின்
வந்தேன் பெரும் காசோலைகள்
பொன்மாலைகள் வேண்டாமே
நீ வேண்டுமென்றேன் உயிரே
Garlands of fame
Orchards of honey
I saw them, yet why did I follow you?
Great financial cheques and golden garlands
I said I don't want them, I want only you
My life…
நேற்றோடு என்
வேகங்கள் சிறு தீயாக
மாறி தூங்க கண்டேன்
காற்றோடு என் கோபங்கள்
ஒரு தூசாக மாறி போக
கண்டேன்
Since yesterday, my restless speeds
Turned into a small ember and went to sleep
Along with the wind, my anger
Turned into a speck of dust and vanished
உன்னை பார்க்காத
நான் பேசாத நான் என்
வாழ்வில் நீ நான் என்று
நான் தினம் நீ வந்ததால்
தோள் தந்ததால் ஆனேன்
நான் ஆனந்த பெண்தான்
உயிரே
I who had not seen you
I who had not spoken with you
I declared that you and I are one in my life
Because you came into my life daily
Because you gave your shoulder to lean on
I became a truly fulfilled woman
My life…
ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ
எதுவரை போகலாம்
என்று நீ சொல்லவேண்டும்
என்றுதான் விடாமல்
கேட்கிறேன்
Ho ho hooh..
How far can we go?
You must tell me
That is why.. I ask relentlessly
தேன் முத்தங்கள்
ஆண் & பெண் :
மட்டுமே
போதும் என்று
சொல்வதால் தொடாமல்
போகிறேன்
Honey kisses
Male & Female: Alone
Male: Are enough, since you say so
I walk away without touching you
உன் போன்ற
இளைஞனை மனம்
ஏற்காமல் மறுப்பதே
பிழை கண்டேன் உன்
அலாதி தூய்மையை
என் கண் பார்த்து பேசும்
பேராண்மையை
A young man like you
It is a mistake for the heart to reject
I saw your unique purity
And the noble manhood speaking directly into my eyes
பூங்காற்றே நீ
வீசாதே ஓஓஓஓ
பூங்காற்றே நீ வீசாதே
நான்தான் இங்கே விசிறி
O gentle breeze, do not blow
Ooooooo..
O gentle breeze, do not blow
I am the hand-fan here
ருத் து து ருத் து ரூ ரூ
ருத் து து ருத் து ரூ ரூ
