ஆஹா ஆயிரம் சுகம்
தேடி வரும் முகம் தேவி முகமோ
இளமை பாடும் காதலின் கதை
நான் எழுதும் கவிதை வந்ததோ
Aha, a thousand pleasures!
Is the face coming in search of me the face of a goddess?
The story of love sung by youth,
Has the poem written by me arrived?
ஆஹா ஆயிரம் சுகம்
தேடி வரும் முகம் தேவன் முகமோ
இளமை பாடும் காதலின் கதை
நீ எழுதும் கவிதை வந்ததோ
Aha, a thousand pleasures!
Is the face coming in search of me the face of a lord?
The story of love sung by youth,
Has the poem written by you arrived?
உன் நெஞ்சில் நான் வந்து உட்கார்ந்த போது
உள்ளத்தில் முன் பாரம் பின் பாரம் ஏது
பூச்செண்டு போல் என்னை நீ தீண்டும் நேரம்
சூடான தேகத்தில் சேரும் ஈரந்தான்
When I came and sat in your heart,
Where is any past or future burden in the mind?
Male: The moment you touch me like a bouquet of flowers,
Cool moisture joins the warm body.
தூது போகும் பேதை மனங்களில்
பாடும் வானம்பாடி நீயோ
ராக தேவன் கோயில் மணிகளில்
சூடும் காதல் கிரீடம் நீயோ
மீன்…வலை…விழியோ…..
In innocent hearts that act as messengers of love,
Are you the singing sky?
Male: In the temple bells of the lord of melody,
Are you the crown of love adorned?
O eyes like a fish net!
ஆஹா ஆயிரம் சுகம்
தேடி வரும் முகம் தேவன் முகமோ
இளமை பாடும் காதலின் கதை
நான் எழுதும் கவிதை வந்ததோ
Aha, a thousand pleasures!
Is the face coming in search of me the face of a lord?
பாதம் வந்து போகும் வழிகளில்
பூவில் பாதை போடலாமா
போகும் பாதை யாவும் அழகிய
தேகமாக மாறலாமா
நான்…துணை…வரவோ…..
The story of love sung by youth,
Has the poem written by me arrived?
காதல் நோயில் வாடும் மனதினை
கைகள் வந்து காக்க வேண்டும்
கைகள் வந்து காக்கும் இடங்களை
நானும் இங்கு பார்க்க வேண்டும்
தேன்…மழை…விழுமோ
Along the paths where feet come and go,
Shall we lay a pathway made of flowers?
Female: Can all the paths traveled...
...turn into a beautiful body?
Shall I come along as your companion?
ஆஹா ஆயிரம் சுகம்
தேடி வரும் முகம் தேவன் முகமோ
இளமை பாடும் காதலின் கதை
நீ எழுதும் கவிதை வந்ததோ..
வந்ததோ…
The heart wilting from the sickness of love,
Hands must come and protect it.
Male: The places that hands come to protect,
I too wish to see them here.
Will a rain of honey fall?
லால லாலால பெண் : லாலால லா…….(3)
