ஏன் அழகே
என் நிழலாய் நீ இருந்து
எங்கேயோ விழுந்தாய்
Hey my beautiful one
As my shadow
You used to be there
Where did you fall away?
நீ எனை தொடாவிடில்
நான் இனி தனி
காற்றைப் போல வந்தாய்
காதல் நோயை தந்தாய்
If you do not touch me
I am all alone from now on
You came like the wind
And gave me the sickness of love
தாமரையே….
தாமதம் ஏன்
வா உடனே
என் உடனே
Oh lotus flower...
Why this delay?
Come right away
Be with me now
கண்ணின் நீரில்
காதல் வேகதடி
நெஞ்சே முள்ளாள் கீறாதடி
உண்மை அன்பு
என்றும் பொய்க்காதாடி
என்னை நோக வைக்காதடி…
In the tears of my eyes
Love burns in pain
It scratches my heart like a thorn
True love
Will never turn out to be false
Do not cause me pain...
விரகம் தான் வந்து
விழுங்கும் முன்பே
விழியாலே என்னை
தீண்டு அன்பே
Before longing and grief arrive
And swallow me whole
With your eyes
Touch me, my love
விரைந்தோடும் மலைகள்
கரையை தாண்டும்..
நிறைவேற வேண்டும்
காதல் மீண்டும்
The fast-flowing streams
Will overflow their banks..
Must be fulfilled
Love, once again
தெருமீது என் காதல்
பரிதாமமாய்
மனதாபம் ஆகாமலே
குறை பார்க்கும் அன்பு
கூடதாடி
கூடாமல் ஓடாதடி…
My love stands exposed like a chariot
So pitiably
Without turning into heartache
A love that only finds faults
Should not exist, my girl
Do not run away without joining me...
நானுமே பாவமே
என் மேல் ஈன் கோபமே
பூவாய் நீயும் வந்தாய்
புயலாய் மையம் கொண்டாய்
நீ எனக்கு ஆருயிரே
நான் உனக்கு ஓர் உயிரே
I am just a harmless, innocent soul
Why be angry with me?
You arrived soft like a flower
But centered yourself like a storm
You are my precious life
I am your very flesh and soul
நீரும் நிறமும்
என்றும் பிரியாதாது
நீளும் வானம் உடையாதாது
இதயம் இரண்டும்
இங்கே இடம் மாறுது
இன்பமான இடையூறிது
Water and color
Can never be separated
The vast stretching sky does not shatter
Both our hearts
Are swapping places right here
What a delightful disruption this is
Yean azhaghe
Hey my beautiful one
En nizhalaai
As my shadow
Nee irundhu
You used to be there
Engeyo vizhundhaai
Where did you fall away?
Nee enai thodaavidil
If you do not touch me
Naan ini thani
I am all alone from now on
Kaatrai pola vandhaai
You came like the wind
Kaadhal noyai thandhai
And gave me the sickness of love
Thaamaraiye….
Oh lotus flower...
Thaamadham yen
Why this delay?
Vaa udane
Come right away
En udane
Be with me now
Kannin neeril
In the tears of my eyes
Kaadhal vegadhaadi
Love burns in pain
Nenjai mullaal keeradhadi
It scratches my heart like a thorn
Unmai anbu
True love
Endrum poikkaadhadi
Will never turn out to be false
Ennai nogavaikkaadhadi…
Do not cause me pain...
Viragam dhaan vandhu
Before longing and grief arrive
Vizhungum munbe
And swallow me whole
Vizhiyaale ennai
With your eyes
Theendu anbe
Touch me, my love
Viranthodum malaigal
The fast-flowing streams
Karaiyai thaandum..
Will overflow their banks..
Niraivera vendum
Must be fulfilled
Kaadhal meendum
Love, once again
Therumeedhu en kaadhal
My love stands exposed like a chariot
Paridhaamai
So pitiably
Manadhaabam aagaamale
Without turning into heartache
Kurai paarkum anbu
A love that only finds faults
Koodadhadi
Should not exist, my girl
Koodamal odathadi…
Do not run away without joining me...
Naanume paavame
I am just a harmless, innocent soul
En mel yen kobame
Why be angry with me?
Poovaai neeyum vandhaai
You arrived soft like a flower
Puyalaai mayyam kondaai
But centered yourself like a storm
Nee enakku aaruyire
You are my precious life
Naan unaaku oon uyire
I am your very flesh and soul
Neerum niramum
Water and color
Endrum piriyaadhadhu
Can never be separated
Neelum vaanam udaiyaadhadhu
The vast stretching sky does not shatter
Idhayam irandum
Both our hearts
Inge idam maarudhu
Are swapping places right here
Inbamaana idaiyooridhu
What a delightful disruption this is
