...
அடி பெண்ணே ஒரு முறை நீ சிரித்தாள்
என் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே மழை அடிக்கும்
அடி பெண்ணே ஒரு முறை நீ சிரித்தாள்
என் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே மழை அடிக்கும்
Oh girl, if you smile just once,
It rains inside my heart.
Oh girl, if you smile just once,
It rains inside my heart.
ஏன் எனது இதயம்
துடிக்கும் இசையில்
கவிதை ஒன்றை எழுதினாய்
அதை விழியில் கோர்த்து உயிரின் உள்ளே
பார்வையாலே சொல்கிறாய்
Why, in the music
Of my beating heart,
You wrote a poem,
Threaded it through your eyes into my soul,
You convey it through your gaze.
உன்னோடு நானும் வாழ
உன்னோடு நானும் சாக
உன் மடி சாயவா
உன் மடி சாயவா
To live with you,
To die with you,
Shall I lean on your lap?
Shall I lean on your lap?
உன் பார்வை என்னை கொல்ல
சாய்ந்தேனே நானும் மெல்ல
நீதான் என் மன்னவா
நீதான் என் மன்னவா
As your gaze kills me,
I leaned gently towards you.
You alone are my king,
You alone are my king.
ஓ உனது சிரிப்பினில்
சிதறும் அழகினை
பூக்கள் ரசித்தே வாசம் பிறந்ததோ
Oh, at your smile,
And the beauty that scatters,
Did the flowers admire it and give birth to fragrance?
வேர்வை துளிகளும்
தீர்த்தம் போல
என் மேலே படுகையில் பாவம் அழியுதோ
Even the drops of your sweat,
Are like holy water,
Are my sins cleansed when they fall upon me?
இருவர் வாழும் உலகிலே
உன்னை அணைத்து கொள்வேன் உயிரிலே
In this world where the two of us live,
I will embrace you within my soul.
இரவில் தேயும் நிலவிலே
நாம் சேர்த்து வாழ்வோம் அருகிலே
Under the moon waning in the night,
We shall live together side by side.
அடி உன்னோடு வாழும்
ஒவ்வொரு நாளும்
இறகை போல பறக்கிறேன்
Oh girl, every single day I live with you,
I fly like a feather.
நான் உன்னோடு வாழும்
நொடியில் ஏனோ
மீண்டும் முதல் முறை பிறக்கிறேன்
In the moment I live with you, why is it
I am born anew for the first time?
உன் பார்வை என்னை கொல்ல
சாய்ந்தேனே நானும் மெல்ல
நீதான் என் மன்னவா
நீதான் என் மன்னவா
As your gaze kills me,
I leaned gently towards you.
You alone are my king,
You alone are my king.
உன்னோடு நானும் வாழ
உன்னோடு நானும் சாக
உன் மடி சாயவா
உன் மடி சாயவா
To live with you,
To die with you,
Shall I lean on your lap?
Shall I lean on your lap?
என் அன்பே ஒரு முறை நீ ரசித்தால்
என்னுள்ளே ஏதோ புது மயக்கம்
என் அன்பே ஒரு முறை நீ ரசித்தால்
என்னுள்ளே ஏதோ புது மயக்கம்
My love, if you admire me just once,
A new intoxicating feeling arises within me.
My love, if you admire me just once,
A new intoxicating feeling arises within me.
எனது பிறவியின் அர்த்தம் உணரவே
உன்னை எனது வாழ்வில் தந்ததோ
To realize the true purpose of my birth,
Did fate grant you into my life?
தேகம் தீண்டும் தோறும் இருந்துமே
உனது விழியிலே ஜீவன் தொலையுதோ
மழையில் காதல் உன் மடியிலே
நித்தம் அணைத்து கொள்ளடா உயிரிலே
Even though we are within physical touch,
Does my life get lost in your eyes?
Love in the rain on your lap,
Embrace me daily within your soul, my dear.
விழிகள் பேசும் மொழியிலே
இனி மௌனம் கூட பிழை இல்லை
அன்பே உன்னோடு வாழும்
ஒவ்வொரு நாளும்
இறகை போல பறக்கிறேன்
In the language spoken by the eyes,
Now even silence is not a mistake.
Female: My love, every single day I live with you,
I fly like a feather.
நான் உன்னோடு வாழும்
நொடியில் ஏனோ
மீண்டும் முதல் முறை பிறக்கிறேன்
அடி பெண்ணே ஒரு முறை நீ சிரித்தால்
என் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே மழை அடிக்கும்
In the moment I live with you, why is it
I am born anew for the first time?
Oh girl, if you smile just once,
It rains inside my heart.
என் அன்பே ஒரு முறை நீ ரசித்தால்
என்னுள்ளே ஏதோ புது மயக்கம்
My love, if you admire me just once,
A new intoxicating feeling arises within me.
நீ இரவல் உயிரா
உறவின் வெயிலா
மழையின் வாசம் நீயடி
நீ கவிதை மொழியா
கவிஞன் வழியா
உயிரின் சுவாசம் நீயடி
Are you a borrowed life,
The warmth of a relationship,
Or the scent of rain, my girl?
Are you the language of poetry,
The path of a poet,
Or the breath of my life, my girl?
உன்னோடு நானும் வாழ
உன்னோடு நானும் சாக
உன் மடி சாயவா
உன் மடி சாயவா
To live with you,
To die with you,
Shall I lean on your lap?
Shall I lean on your lap?
உன் பார்வை என்னை கொல்ல
சாய்ந்தேனே நானும் மெல்ல
நீதான் என் மன்னவா
நீதான் என் மன்னவா
As your gaze kills me,
I leaned gently towards you.
You alone are my king,
You alone are my king.
