Happiness begins today
உதட்டு சிவப்பெடுத்து
பதிக்க முகம் கொடுத்து
உதவும் சமயமல்லவோ
What if you smile softly?
கரும்பின் சுவை வடித்து
திரும்ப அதை கொடுக்க
விரும்பும் இதயமல்லவோ
What if you open your lips?
கடல் கரையோரமாய் மர நிழலோரமாய்
கடல் கரையோரமாய் மர நிழலோரமாய்
ஒரு கதை பேசலாம் அதில் சுகம் காணலாம்
ஒரு கதை பேசலாம் அதில் சுகம் காணலாம்
Taking the redness of the lips
Offering the face to imprint upon
Is this not the right time to help?
குளிர் நீரோட்டம் பாய்ந்திருக்க
பூவாட்டம் நான் மிதக்க
Extracting the sweetness of sugarcane
To give it back again
Is this not what the heart desires?
கண்ணோட்டம் வந்ததென
என்னை அழைக்க ...என்னை அழைக்க
ஆனந்தம்
Along the seashore, along the shade of trees
Along the seashore, along the shade of trees
We can share a story and find joy in it
We can share a story and find joy in it
இன்று ஆரம்பம்
மெல்ல சிரித்தால் என்ன
இதழ் விரித்தால் என்ன
As the cool stream of water flows
As I float gently like a flower
தாலாட்ட காத்திருக்க
தென்பாங்கு பாட்டிருக்க
தேவிக்கு தேவை என்னவோ
Why did your glance fall upon me
To call me, to call me?
Happiness
கண்நூஞ்சல் ஆடிவரும்
மன்னாதி மன்னன் முகம்
கண்டாலும் போதை அல்லவோ
Begins today
முத்துக்களால் கட்டி வைத்த மாலை ஒன்று
தித்திக்கும் புன்னகையில் தோன்றுமோ
What if you smile softly?
செவ்வான கோலம் கொண்ட மேனி ஒன்று
சந்திக்க சொல்லி என்னை தூண்டுமோ
What if you open your lips?
