Ah, black and white!
**Naan kavingyanum illai
nalla rasiganum illai
kaadhalenum aasai illa
bommayum illai
naan kavingyanum illai**
I´m no poet
Not a great fan either
I´m not a doll with
No interest in love
**Iravu neram piraraip pola ennayum kollum
thunai irundhum illai endru ponaal oorenna sollum
Ah ha ha haa, Oh ho ho hoo, Mmmm mmmm**
(naan kavingyanum illai)
Night time like (?) will kill me too
Though I have company, feels like I don´t, what will the townfolk say?
Ah ha ha haa, Oh ho ho hoo, Mmmm mmmm
(I´m no poet)
**anbae aaruyirae inbamae iniyavalae
paNbodu anbodu padiaeri vandhavalae**
Dear, river of life, joy, sweet one,
With virtue and affection, the one who came up to me
**paarthu paarthu mayanga vaithu
kaathu kaathu nirka vaithu
kaNNae un mel paatu paada
naan kavingyanum illai**
She looked at me and put me under a spell
She waited, made me stop
Well dear, to start singing songs about you
(I´m no poet)
**kaatu maanai vaettai aada thayanga villaiae-indha
veetu maanin uLLam aeno viLangavillaiae
kootu vaazhkai kudumba vaazhkai puriyavillaiae-naan
kondu vandha peN manadhil peNmai illaiae
naan kavingyanum illai**
To hunt down a deer in the forest, I don´t hesitate
The feelings of the dear in the house, I can´t understand
Social life, family life, I just can´t understand
The woman I brought into my home has no femininity in her heart
(I´m no poet)
**naan azhudhaal sirikiraaL sirithaal azhugiraaL
konjinaal kodhikiraaL kenjinaal midihikiraaL
irupadha? iRapadha? azhuvadha? siripadha?
amma, thaaye, thayae
naan kavingyanum illai**
If I cry, she laughs, if I laugh, she cries
If I am affectionate, she backs off, if I beg, she spurns me
Should I stay? Should I lose it? Cry or laugh?
Please…!
