ஆலங்காலங்குருவி
அடி ஆகாசத்து அருவி
உன் கால கால தழுவி
வாழ வாங்கி வந்தேன் பிறவி
Oh beautiful sparrow
Hey waterfall from the sky
Touching your feet again and again
I was born having received a divine blessing
ஆலங்காலங்குருவி
அடி ஆகாசத்து அருவி
உன் கால கால தழுவி
வாழ வாங்கி வந்தேன் பிறவி
Oh beautiful sparrow
Hey waterfall from the sky
Touching your feet again and again
I was born having received a divine blessing
கொட்ட கொட்ட பாக்குறியே
கொண்டையத்தான் ஆட்டுறியே
கிட்ட கிட்ட வந்து நீயும்
என்ன கொல்லுறியே
You stare at me with wide unblinking eyes
You shake your hair bun gently
Coming close and close to me
You are slaying me softly
நிக்க வெச்சு பாக்குறியே
நீயும் என்ன கேக்குறியே
கண்ணாலதான் ஜாட காட்டி
என்ன கொல்லுறியே
You make me stand still and watch me
You ask things of me
Making subtle gestures with your eyes alone
You are slaying me softly
காத்த விட யாக்கை
எடை குறைஞ்சி போச்சி
நேத்து விட வாழ்க்கை
இப்ப இனிப்பா ஆச்சி
Lighter than the wind itself
My body weight has dropped away
Compared to yesterday, life...
...has now turned so sweet
ஆலங்காலங்குருவி
அடி ஆகாசத்து அருவி
உன் கால கால தழுவி
வாழ வாங்கி வந்தேன் பிறவி
Oh beautiful sparrow
Hey waterfall from the sky
Touching your feet again and again
I was born having received a divine blessing
உன் கூட பேசுறேன்
உன்ன பத்தி பேசுறேன்
வேறேதும் தெரியல
இப்ப ஒன்னும் புரியல
I speak with you
I speak only about you
I do not know anything else
Now I understand nothing else
உன் கூட நடக்குறேன்
உன்ன சுத்தி நடக்குறேன்
வேறேதும் தோனல
இப்ப நானும் நான் இல்ல
I walk alongside you
I walk around you
Nothing else comes to my mind
Now I am no longer just myself
எத்தனை எத்தனை நட்சத்திரம்
எண்ணி தானே பாக்கனுமே
கற்பனை கற்பனை செஞ்சதெல்லாம்
வாழ்ந்த காட்டுன்னுமே
So many, many stars...
...we ought to count together
All that we imagined in our dreams...
...we must bring to life and show
அழகா படைச்சி கொடுத்தேன் உயிரே
அதுதான் வரமும் கொடுக்கும் உறவே
Beautifully created and bestowed, my soul
That is the relationship that grants all blessings
ஆலங்காலங்குருவி
அடி ஆகாசத்து அருவி
உன் கால கால தழுவி
வாழ வாங்கி வந்தேன் பிறவி
Oh beautiful sparrow
Hey waterfall from the sky
Touching your feet again and again

...........................
எந்த பக்கம் தொட்டாலும்
கற்கண்டு இனிக்குமே
அது போல உன் நெனப்பு
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள இருக்குமே
Whichever side you touch it from
Rock sugar tastes sweet
Just like that, thoughts of you
Remain sweet inside my heart
என்ன நீ சொன்னாலும்
கேக்கனும்னு தோணுமே
என்ன சொல்ல இந்த பந்தம்
ஆயிசுக்கும் வேணுமே
Whatever you tell me
I feel like listening to it endlessly
What can I say, this connection...
...is needed for a lifetime
நெஞ்சுல நெஞ்சுல உள்ளதெல்லாம்
கண்ணுல கண்ணுளல நான் படிப்பேன்
என்னிடம் வந்து நீ கேட்கும் முன்னே
அது கையுல நான் கொடுப்பேன்
Whatever is deep inside your heart
I will read directly in your eyes
Before you come and ask me for it
I will place it in your hands
நெசமா வாழ்க்கை அழகா இருக்கு
நிழலா இருப்பேன் இனி நான் உனக்கு
Truly, life is wonderful
I will remain as your shadow from now on
