அத்தான் உன்ன காங்கல
முத்தம் தர போதல....ஆ.....
நித்தம் என் காதல
சத்தம் வர பேசல......ஆ......
My beloved, I haven't seen you,
The kisses I give are not enough...
Every single day, my love,
Shall we speak out loud?...
வெண் பஞ்சு கையால என்ன
உன் நெஞ்சு உள் பூட்டி பொதைச்ச
கண் கொஞ்சும் மையால தானே
என் மொத்தம் வேரோட சாச்ச
With your hands soft like white cotton,
You locked me inside your heart and covered me.
Just with the eyeliner that adorns your eyes,
You completely uprooted and felled me down.
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள உன் மொகத்த
பச்சை குத்த சொல்லி வச்சேன்
உன்ன கட்ட சாமி கிட்ட
சத்தியமா வேண்டிகிட்டேன்
Inside my heart, your face,
I asked for it to be permanently tattooed.
To marry you, to God,
I truly prayed with all my heart.
வெட்ட வெளி வானத்துல
உன்னை மட்டும் தேடி நின்னேன்
கண்ணுக்குழி பள்ளத்துல
நீ சிரிக்க நான் விழுந்தேன்
In the vast open sky,
I stood searching only for you.
In the dimple of your cheek,
When you smiled, I fell right into it.
உனக்காக பூத்திருப்பேன்
உன் தோளில் சாஞ்சிருப்பேன்
நீ போகும் பாதையில
நிழலாக நான் இருப்பேன்
I will remain bloomed for you,
I will lean upon your shoulder,
On the path that you walk,
I will remain as your shadow.
என் உச்சி வரையில மேவுற
என் மூச்சி காத்தா மாறுற
அழகே....அழகே என் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள
உன் சிரிப்பால என்னை சீண்டுற
பூ வாசம் போல வீசுற
உறவே உடலே நான் என்ன சொல்ல
You pervade all the way to the crown of my head,
You transform into the very air I breathe.
Oh beauty... beauty inside my heart,
You tease me with your smile,
You waft around like the scent of flowers,
My kinsman, my body, what more can I say?
உனக்காக பூத்திருப்பேன்
உன் தோளில் சாஞ்சிருப்பேன்
I will remain bloomed for you...
I will lean upon your shoulder...
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள உன்ன பச்சை
குத்தி வச்சேன்
என் கண்ணுக்குள்ள உன்னை தெச்சி வச்சேன்
நான் உன்னை தேடும் நேரம் எண்ணித்தான்
என் புள்ள உன்ன நெஞ்சில் தேக்கி வச்சேன்
Inside my heart, you as a green,
Tattoo I have etched.
I have rubbed and kept you safe inside my eyes,
Counting the time spent searching for you,
Oh my dear, I have stored you in my heart.
அந்த வானம் பூமி
எல்லாம் கேட்டு வச்சி
என் கண்ணே உன்னை கண்ணில் சிக்க வச்சேன்
வந்து வந்து போகும்
உப்பு தண்ணி காத்துகிட்ட
என் நினைப்பகூட சொல்லி வச்சேன்
Asking that sky and earth,
And getting their blessing,
My dear, I trapped you inside my sight.
To the ocean breeze that comes and goes,
The sea-salt wind that blows,
I asked it to deliver my thoughts to you.

The lover's presence is felt everywhere—likened to a permanent tattoo on the heart, the softest cotton, a flower's fragrance, and the very air the narrator breathes.
