Yamunai Aatrile... (Lyrics)
Film: Thalapathi
Cinematography: Santhosh Sivan
Direction: Maniratnam

In Tamil
யமுனை ஆற்றிலே ஈர காற்றிலே கண்ணனோடுதான் ஆட..

பார்வை பூத்திட பாதை பார்த்திட பாவை ராதையோ வாட

இரவும் போனது பகலும் போனது மன்னன் இல்லையே கூட

இளைய கன்னியின் இமைத்திடாத கண் இங்கும் அங்குமே தேட

ஆயர்பாடியில் கண்ணன் இல்லையோ.. ஆசை வைப்பதே அன்புத் தொல்லையோ..

பாவம் ராதா ..

யமுனை ஆற்றிலே ஈர காற்றிலே கண்ணனோடுதான் ஆட...

In English
Yamunai Aatrile Eera Kaatrilae Kannanoadudhaan Aada

Paarvai Poothida Paadhai Paarthida Paavai Raadhaiyo Vaada

Iravum Poanathu Pagalum Poanathu Mannan Illayae Kooda

Ilaiya Kanniyin Imaithitatha Kan Ingum Angumae Thaeda

Aayarpaadiyil Kannan Illaiyo Aasai Vaippathey Anbuth Thollaiyo

Paavam Raadhaa..

.

Yamunai Aatrile Eerak Kaatrilae Kannanoadudhaan Aada

Paarvai Poothida Paadhai Paarthida Paavai Raadhaiyo Vaada

English Translation
In Yamuna river, in the humid air,
To dance with Krishna
As dream flowers, to watch the path,
Young Radha wilts.
Night has passed, day has passed,
The king is not with her
The young girl’s unblinking eyes
Search here and there
Krishna isn’t in the cow-hearding grounds
To love is a sweet-lovely-torture-trouble
Poor Radha…
