அன்புள்ள காதலா
என் உயிர் காதலா
உன் முகம் காணவே
காத்திருந்தேன்
நீ வரும் வரையிலே
என் மன திரையிலே
உன் விழி ஓவியம்
வரைந்திருந்தேன்
Dearest lover
My soul's lover
Just to see your face
I was waiting
Until you arrived
On the screen of my mind
A portrait of your eyes
I had painted
இமைத்திடும் அதிர்விலே
இதயத்தின் நடுவிலே
அலைகளை எழுப்பி
இவளின் கதவை நினைக்கிறாய்
In the vibration of an eye blink
In the middle of my heart
Raising waves
You drench the shore of this girl
விழித்திடும் நொடியிலே
இதழ்களின் படியிலே
விரல் நுனி கொண்டு நீ
ஏறி வருகிறாய்
In the moment of awakening
On the steps of the lips
With the tip of your fingers
You climb up
மாயனே
காதலில் இப்படிக்கு
இப்படிக்கு காதலி
அன்புள்ள காதலா
என் உயிர் காதலா
உன் முகம் காணவே
காத்திருந்தேன்
Oh illusionist!
Yours in love,
Hahahaha...
Yours lovingly, female lover
Dearest lover
My soul's lover
Just to see your face
I was waiting
நதிகளின் கால் கொண்டு
நடந்திட வா என்றாய்
கிளிகளின் மொழி கொண்டு
காதல் கீச்சல் அழைக்கிறாய்
With the feet of rivers
You called me to walk along
With the language of parrots
You call out with love squawks
மலையென தோள் கண்டு
அருவியை போல் ஆனாய்
தலை முதல் பாதம் பாய்ந்து
மொத்தமாக அணைக்கிறாய்
Seeing shoulders like mountains
You became like a waterfall
Flowing from head to toe
You embrace me completely
தனிமையின் தவறுகளை
திருத்திட பிறத்தவனே
நிமிடத்தின் குறைகுடத்தை
நிறைக்க வந்தவனே
Oh the one born
To correct the mistakes of solitude
The one who came to fill
The deficient pot of time
இதயத்தின் செயல் திறனை
அறிந்திட செய்தவளே
ஆழ் மனம் சென்று என்னை
ஆழ வந்தவளே
The one who made me realize
The true capacity of the heart
Reaching deep into my mind
The one who came to rule me
மாயனே
காதலில் இப்படிக்கு
இப்படிக்கு காதலி
அன்புள்ள காதலா
என் உயிர் காதலா
உன் முகம் காணவே
காத்திருந்தேன்
Oh illusionist!
Yours in love,
Yours lovingly, female lover
Dearest lover
My soul's lover
Just to see your face
I was waiting
நீ வரும் வரையிலே
என் மன திரையிலே
உன் விழி ஓவியம்
வரைந்திருந்தேன்
Until you arrived
On the screen of my mind
A portrait of your eyes
I had painted
இமைத்திடும் அதிர்விலே
இதயத்தின் நடுவிலே
அலைகளை எழுப்பி
இவளின் கதவை நினைக்கிறாய்
In the vibration of an eye blink
In the middle of my heart
Raising waves
You drench the shore of this girl
விழித்திடும் நொடியிலே
