அதிகாலை பூக்கள்
உன்னை பார்க்க ஏங்கும்
அந்திமாலை மேகம்
உன்னை பார்த்தே தூங்கும்
The early morning flowers
Yearn to catch a glimpse of you
The evening clouds
Fall asleep only after looking at you
உன் கண்கள்
தானே விண்மீன்கள்
தேடும் உன்னோடு
வாழ்ந்தால் வரமல்லவா
It is indeed your eyes
That the stars search for in the sky
If I get to live my life with you
Is it not a divine boon?
கனவுகள் தருகிறாய்
கவிதைகள் தருகிறாய்
உறவுகள் தருகிறாய்
உயிரிலே
You give me dreams
You give me poetry
You bestow deep emotional bonds within my soul...
Adhigaalai pookal
The early morning flowers
Unaipaarka yengum
Yearn to catch a glimpse of you
Andhimaalai megam
The evening clouds
Unnaipaarthae thoongum
Fall asleep only after looking at you
Unkangalthaanae
It is indeed your eyes
Vinmeengal thedum
That the stars search for in the sky
Unnodu vazhnthaal
If I get to live my life with you
Varamallavaa
Is it not a divine boon?
Kanavugal tharugiraai
You give me dreams
Kavithaigal tharugiraai
You give me poetry
Uravugal tharugiraai uyirilae….
You bestow deep emotional bonds within my soul...
