விசில் :
..................
Who is she? Could it be her?
In the waves of my soul,
Is she a woman who came wandering?
My eyes conquer me today,
Oh oh ah haa.. oh my..
Like a gentle drizzle, from where
Is she the moon that came gliding?
My eyes conquer me today..
யாரோ.. இவளோ ..
என் உயிரின் அலையிலே
அலைந்து வந்த பெண்ணோ
என்னை என் கண்கள் இன்று ஜெயிக்க..
ஓ ..ஓ..ஆ.. ஹா அடடா
இளம் சாரல் போல எங்கு
தவழ்ந்து வந்த நிலவோ
என்னை என் கண்கள் இன்று ஜெயிக்க..
On the path, waiting for you to come,
Just to touch your enchanting lips..
Does this cluster of clouds,
In the fire of passion,
Pour down like rain? Oh..hoo
வருவாய் என பாதையிலே
உன் மோகன இதழ்களை தீண்டிடவே
இந்த மேக கூட்டமே
மோக தீயிலே
மழை என பெய்கிறதோ .. ஓ ..ஹோ ..
Making me a man,
Intertwining you as a woman,
My heart flutters frantically..
Why did shyness arrive here?
Why did you leave today?
My soul trembled with yearning..
ஆண் என்று என்னை செய்தது
பெண் என்று உன்னை கோர்த்தது
என் நெஞ்சம் படபடக்குது
ஏன் இங்கே நாணம் வந்தது
ஏன் இன்று நீயும் சென்றது
ஏன் உள்ளம் துடி துடித்தது
Who is she? Could it be her?
In the waves of my soul,
Is she a woman who came wandering?
My eyes conquer me today,
Oh oh ah haa.. oh my..
Like a gentle drizzle, from where
Is she the moon that came gliding?
My eyes conquer me today..
யாரோ.. இவளோ ..
என் உயிரின் அலையிலே
அலைந்து வந்த பெண்ணோ
என்னை என் கண்கள் இன்று ஜெயிக்க..
ஓ ..ஓ..ஆ.. ஹா அடடா
இளம் சாரல் போல எங்கு
தவழ்ந்து வந்த நிலவோ
என்னை என் கண்கள் இன்று ஜெயிக்க..
Yaaro.. ivalo..
Who is she? Could it be her?
En uyirin alaiyilae
In the waves of my soul,
Alaindhu vandha penno
Is she a woman who came wandering?
Ennai en kangal indru jeyikka
My eyes conquer me today,
Oh oh ah haa.. adada..
Oh oh ah haa.. oh my..
Ilam saaral pola engu
Like a gentle drizzle, from where
Thavazhndhu vandha nilavo
Is she the moon that came gliding?
Ennai en kangal indru jeyikka..
My eyes conquer me today..
Varuvaai ena paadhaiyilae
On the path, waiting for you to come,
Un mogana idhazhgalai theendidavae..
Just to touch your enchanting lips..
Indha mega kootamae
Does this cluster of clouds,
Moga theeyilae
In the fire of passion,
Mazhai ena peigiradho.. oh..hoo
Pour down like rain? Oh..hoo
Aan endru ennai seidhadhu
Making me a man,
Penn endru unnai korthadhu
Intertwining you as a woman,
En nenjam padapadakudhu..
My heart flutters frantically..
Yaen ingae nanam vandhadhu
Why did shyness arrive here?
Yaen indru neeyum sendradhu
Why did you leave today?
En ullam thudi thudiththadhu..
My soul trembled with yearning..
Yaaro.. ivalo..
Who is she? Could it be her?
En uyirin alaiyilae
In the waves of my soul,
Alaindhu vandha penno
Is she a woman who came wandering?
Ennai en kangal indru jeyikka
My eyes conquer me today,
Oh oh ah haa.. adada..
Oh oh ah haa.. oh my..
Ilam saaral pola engu
Like a gentle drizzle, from where
Thavazhndhu vandha nilavo
Is she the moon that came gliding?
Ennai en kangal indru jeyikka..
My eyes conquer me today..
