ஆருயிரே மன்னவரே
அன்பு மயில் வணக்கம்
உன் ஆசை நெஞ்சம் மாறியதேன்
புரியவில்லை எனக்கும்
Oh dear king of my soul,
Greetings from this loving peacock,
Why has your loving heart changed?
Even I do not understand.
ஆருயிரே மன்னவரே
அன்பு மயில் வணக்கம்
உன் ஆசை நெஞ்சம் மாறியதேன்
புரியவில்லை எனக்கும்
ஆருயிரே மன்னவரே
Oh dear king of my soul,
Greetings from this loving peacock,
Why has your loving heart changed?
Even I do not understand.
Oh dear king of my soul,
காரிருளில் அகல் விளக்கைத்
தூது விட்டு நின்றேன்
காரிருளில் அகல் விளக்கைத்
தூது விட்டு நின்றேன்
அது காற்றினில் ஒளி இழந்து
திரும்பிடக் கண்டேன்
காற்றினில் ஒளி இழந்து
திரும்பிடக் கண்டேன்
In pitch darkness, an oil lamp
I sent as a messenger and waited,
In pitch darkness, an oil lamp
I sent as a messenger and waited,
Losing its light in the wind,
I saw it return,
Losing its light in the wind,
I saw it return,
ஓருயிரை உனக்கெனவே
வழியனுப்பி வைத்தேன்
ஓருயிரை உனக்கெனவே
வழியனுப்பி வைத்தேன்
அது உன்னிடமே தங்கியதால்
உயிரிழந்து நின்றேன்
As a single life meant for you,
I sent it off on its way,
As a single life meant for you,
I sent it off on its way,
Because it stayed behind with you,
I stood here having lost my life.
ஆருயிரே மன்னவரே
அன்பு மயில் வணக்கம்
உன் ஆசை நெஞ்சம் மாறியதேன்
புரியவில்லை எனக்கும்
ஆருயிரே மன்னவரே
Oh dear king of my soul,
Greetings from this loving peacock,
Why has your loving heart changed?
Even I do not understand.
Oh dear king of my soul,
காற்று மழை மின்னலையும்
கடந்து வந்தேன் ஐயா
காற்று மழை மின்னலையும்
கடந்து வந்தேன் ஐயா
நான் கண்ணீரில் எழுதி வைத்த
கதைகளெல்லாம் பொய்யா
கண்ணீரில் எழுதி வைத்த
கதைகளெல்லாம் பொய்யா
Through wind, rain, and lightning,
I crossed and came, my lord,
Through wind, rain, and lightning,
I crossed and came, my lord,
The stories I wrote with my tears,
Were they all lie?
The stories I wrote with my tears,
Were they all lie?
வந்த துன்பம் என்னுயிரை
எடுத்துக் கொண்ட போதும்
நான் மறுமுறை பிறக்கும்போது
மாலையிட்டால் போதும்
If this sorrow takes away my life,
That is enough for me;
When I am born again in my next life,
It is enough if you marry me.
ஆருயிரே மன்னவரே
அன்பு மயில் வணக்கம்
உன் ஆசை நெஞ்சம் மாறியதேன்
புரியவில்லை எனக்கும்
ஆருயிரே மன்னவரே
