நான் தினம் குமுதங்களால் மலர்ந்தேன்
I became filled with divine nectar.
I became filled with the nectar of lips.
I blossomed like night lotus flowers.
I blossom every day like night lotus flowers.
விழி இரண்டும் புதிது

மணி விழி தீபங்கள்
மறந்திடுமா நம் கோலங்கள்

Both eyelids feel brand new.

கல்யாண ஆவேசம்
I saw it wafting through the street.
The sweet fragrance of chrysanthemum flowers.
A transformation in the wind like an exchange of rings.
The passionate excitement of marriage.
காலங்கள் நேரங்கள் எல்லாம்
கடிகார கூப்பாடு
நீ வாங்கும் முத்தங்கள் வேண்டும்
பேராசை தீராது
வலிப்பது போல் தோன்றும்
இனிபதுதான் எனும்
கனவுலகில் இல்ல சுகம்
All times and moments passing by.
Are just the shouting of the clock.
I want the kisses you take from me.
This deep yearning will never be satisfied.
It feels like a gentle pain.
Yet it is pure sweetness.

பார்வை போகிற தூரம்
நீ இன்றி யார் வேண்டும்
பாவை ஊன் உயிர் எங்கும்
உன்னோடு ஒன்றாகும்
As far as the vision can reach.
Who else do I need besides you?
This maiden's body and soul everywhere.
Becomes one with you.
ஆகாயம் பார்கிறதென்று
மழை கொஞ்சி பேசாதா
ஆடைக்கும் வேர்கிறதென்று
பனி காற்று வீசாதா
ஒரு கரை நீயாக
மறு கரை நானாக
கரை புரண்டே ஆறாகினோம்
Saying that the sky is watching.
Doesn't the rain speak coaxingly?
Saying that the clothes are sweating.
Doesn't the misty breeze blow gently?
You being one riverbank.
Me being the other riverbank.
Overflowing both banks, we merged into a single river.
