| Yaar intha penthaan endru keten munnalae | I asked earlier, "Who is this girl?" |

யார் இந்த பெண்
தான் என்று கேட்டேன்
முன்னாலே இவள்
எந்தன் பாதி என்று
கண்டேன் தன்னாலே
என்னை பார்க்கிறாள்
ஏதோ கேட்கிறாள் எங்கும்
இருக்கிறாள் ஓ ஓ...
I asked earlier, "Who is this girl?"
I realized on my own that she is my better half.
She looks at me, asks something, she is everywhere, oh oh.
கண்ணால் சிரிக்கிறாள்
முன்னால் நடக்கிறாள் நெஞ்சை
கிழிக்கிறாள் ஓ ஓ கூட்டத்தில்
இருந்தும் தனியாக தெரிந்தாள்
தோட்டத்தில் மலர்ந்த பூவாக
திரிந்தாள் என்னை ஏதோ செய்தாள்
She smiles with her eyes, she walks in front of me,
She tears my heart apart, oh oh.
Even in a crowd, she stood out distinctly.
She wandered like a flower bloomed in a garden.
She did something to me.
யார் இந்த பெண்
தான் என்று கேட்டேன்
முன்னாலே இவள்
எந்தன் பாதி என்று
கண்டேன் தன்னாலே
I asked earlier, "Who is this girl?"
I realized on my own that she is my better half.
என் வீட்டு முற்றத்தில்
இவள் போடும் கோலங்கள்
எப்போதும் வேண்டும் என்று
கேட்பேன் அணில் ஆடும்
கூடத்தில் இவள் பாடும்
ராகத்தில் அதிகாலை
சூரியனை பார்பேன்
The kolam patterns she draws in my house courtyard,
I will wish to have them forever.
In the courtyard where squirrels play, to the melody she sings,
I want to watch the early morning sun.
கண்ணாடி வளையலை
போல கையோடு நானும்
பிறக்கவே துடிப்பேன் கால்
கட்டும் கொழுசில் என்னோட
மனசை சேர்த்து கோர்க்கவே
தவிப்பேன்
Like a glass bangle,
I ache to be born attached to her hand.
Into the anklet tied around her feet,
I yearn to weave my heart along with it.
காதோடு தவழும்
கம்மல் போல் கிடப்பேன்
கன்னத்தை உரசி என்
ஜென்மம் முடிப்பேன்
I wish to lie like the earring dangling near her ear,
And complete my lifetime by grazing against her cheek.
என்னை
ஏதோ செய்தாள்
She did something to me.
யார் இந்த பெண்
தான் என்று கேட்டேன்
முன்னாலே இவள்
எந்தன் பாதி என்று
கண்டேன் தன்னாலே
I asked earlier, "Who is this girl?"
I realized on my own that she is my better half.
நான் கொஞ்சம்
பார்த்தால் எங்கேயோ
பார்ப்பாள் பார்க்காத
நேரம் என்னை பார்ப்பாள்
எனை பார்த்து சிரிப்பாள்
நான் பார்த்தால் மறைப்பாள்
மெய்யாக பொய்யாகத்தான்
நடிப்பாள்
If I look at her a bit, she gazes somewhere else.
When I am not looking, she looks at me.
She smiles looking at me, but hides when I look back.
She acts with a mix of truth and pretense.
பெண் நெஞ்சம்
புதியதை போல எப்போதும்
யாரும் அறிந்ததே இல்லை
ஆண் நெஞ்சின் துடிப்பும்
அன்றாட தவிப்பும் பெண்கள்
மதிப்பதேயில்லை
A woman's heart is like a puzzle;
No one has ever truly understood it.
The beating of a man's heart and his daily agony,
Women never give value to it.
மனம் நொந்த
பிறகே முதல் வார்த்தை
சொல்வாள் மழை நின்ற
பிறகே குடை தந்து செல்வாள்
Only after my heart aches will she speak her first word.
She gives an umbrella and walks away only after the rain stops.
என்னை
ஏதோ செய்தாள்
She did something to me.
யார் இந்த பெண்

முன்னாலே இவள்
எந்தன் பாதி என்று
கண்டேன் தன்னாலே

He poeticizes his desire to share his entire daily life with her, longing to be as close to her as her bangles, anklets, or dangling earrings.
