Enga Ooru Pattukaran Shenbagame Shenbagame Lyrics Translation (Male Version)
Pattu pattu poochi polae
Like a soft silk butterfly
Ethanaiyo vannam minnum
So many colors shimmer
Nattu vachu naan parikkaa
I planted it to pluck one day
Naan valartha nandhavanam
The garden I lovingly raised
Katti vaikkum en manasa
My heart that I tried to hold back
Vaasam varum malligaiyum
Like the fragrant jasmine
Thottu thottu naan parikka
To touch and gently pluck
Thudikkidhandha senbagamae
O champak flower that longed within
Senbagamae senbagamae
O Shenbagam, O Shenbagam
Then pothigai sandhanamae
Sweet as sandal from the Podhigai hills
Thedi varum en manamae
My heart that comes searching for you
Serndhirundhaa sammadhamae
If united, that is all I desire
Senbagamae senbagamae
O Shenbagam, O Shenbagam
Then pothigai sandhanamae
Sweet sandal from the Podhigai hills
Un paatham pogum paadhai
The path where your feet walk
Naanum poga vandhenae
I too came to walk along
Un melae aasa pattu
Falling in love with you
Paathu kaathu ninnenae
I waited, watching for you
Un mugam paarthu
Seeing your face
Nimmadhi aachu
I found peace
En manam thaanaa paadidalaachu
My heart began to sing on its own
Ennoda paatu satham
The sound of my song

Follows you wherever you go
Eppodhum unna thottu
Always touching you
Paadaporen thannaala

Like the crescent moon
Kaanum nethi pottoda
With that forehead mark shining
Naamum kalandhiruka
We too should be together
Venum indha paatoda
Along with this song
Karuthadhu megam
Is it a dark cloud
Thalai mudidhaano
That forms your hair
Izhuthadhu enna poovizhidhaano
Or are those flower-like eyes pulling me in
Ellukum rasi pathi
Talking about horoscopes endlessly
Pesi pesi theeradhu
Never seems to end
Un paatukaran paatu
This singer’s song for you
Unna vitu pogaadhu
Will never leave you
