தள்ளாடி தள்ளாடி
நடமிட்டு அவள் வந்தாள்
ஆஹா சொல்லாமல்
கொள்ளாமல் அவளிடம்
நான் சென்றேன்
Stumbling and swaying rhythmically as she walked
She arrived
Aha, without a word or warning
I went up to her
அது கூடாதென்றால்
மனம் தாளாதென்றால்
ஒன்று நானே தந்தேன்
அது போதாதென்றால்
போதாதென்றால்
She said that was not allowed
She said her heart could not bear it
I myself gave her a kiss
She said that was not enough... not enough
அனுபவம் புதுமை

பொல்லாத எண்ணங்களே

கண் என்ன கண்
என்று அருகினில் அவன்
வந்தான் கண் என்ன கண்
என்று அருகினில் அவன்
வந்தான்
Asking what kind of captivating eyes these were
He came close to me
Asking what kind of captivating eyes these were
He came close to me
ஆஹா பெண்ணென்ன
பெண்ணென்று என்னென்ன
கதை சொன்னான் இது
மாறாதென்றான் இனி
நீயே என்றான்
Aha, praising what a wonderful woman I was
What enchanting stories he told me
He promised this love would never change
He said I was his everything from now on
கண்ணில் பார்வை
தந்தான் துணை நானே
என்றான் நாளை என்றான்
அனுபவம் புதுமை
He gazed deep into my eyes
He declared he would be my lifelong companion
He spoke of a beautiful tomorrow...
A novel experience...
சிங்கார தேர் போல
குலுங்கிடும் அவள் வண்ணம்
ஆஹா சித்தாடை முந்தானை
தழுவிடும் என் எண்ணம்
Like a grand, beautifully decorated chariot
Her graceful form sways gently
Aha, the flowing pallu of her garment
My thoughts long to embrace it
அவள் எங்கே
என்றால் நான் இங்கே
நின்றேன் அவள் அங்கே
வந்தாள் நாங்கள் எங்கோ
சென்றோம் எங்கோ சென்றோம்
When asked where she was
I stood right here
She arrived right there
Together we drifted off to somewhere unknown
Drifted somewhere unknown...
பனி போல்
குளிர்ந்தது கனி போல்
இனித்ததம்மா ஆஹா
மழை போல் விழுந்தது
மலராய் மலர்ந்ததம்மா
It felt cool like the morning dew
It tasted sweet like a ripe fruit
Aha, it showered down like rain
It blossomed beautifully like a flower
ஒரு தூக்கம்
இல்லை வெறும் ஏக்கம்
இல்லை பிறர் பார்க்கும்
வரை எங்கள் பிறவியுமில்லை
பிறவியுமில்லை
There was no sleep at all
Nor was it mere idle longing
Until the outside world came to watch
There was no separation between us
No separation at all...
அனுபவம் புதுமை
அவனிடம் கண்டேன்
அந்நாளில் இல்லாத
பொல்லாத எண்ணங்களே
பொன்னான கை பட்டு
புண்ணான கன்னங்களே
