Nenjukkulle Lyrics In Tamil ——————————————————ENGLISH TRANSLATION
In my heart.. I’ve tied you..In my heart.. I’ve tied you.. I don’t know in which direction my day rose?You gave me a sweet glance And this heart of mine became a mirror glazed by waterA colorful pearl ornament , that watch in your right hand That presence commanding enough to tame elephants and tigers Your shadow has stayed back even after you’ve left and has imprinted itself in my heart This lass who looked up then has not lowered her glances since , her mind erect like an umbrella’s stick.
In my heart.. I’ve tied you..
In my heart.. I’ve tied you.. I don’t know in which direction my day rose?
The birds have slept , the milk curdled The leaves on the eechi tree have slept too In an hour where even TB patients have slept this lass afflicted by disease of desire has not slept a wink
In my heart.. I’ve tied you.. I don’t know in which direction my day rose?
Not a bite has gone in , The throat has not been wet for ages , For the past week or so , even saliva has refused to be consumed This poor young lass is not able to say anything Rubber bangles do not have the capacity to make sound
