அழகோ அழகு
அவள் கண்ணழகு அவள்
போல் இல்லை ஒரு பேரழகு
அழகோ அழகு அவள் பேச்சழகு
அருகில் எரிக்கும் அவள் மூச்சழகு
Oh, what beauty! The beauty of her eyes is exquisite.
There is no supreme beauty like hers.
Oh, what beauty! The beauty of her speech is exquisite.
The beauty of her warm breath felt up close is exquisite.
அழகோ அழகு
அவள் கண்ணழகு அவள்
போல் இல்லை ஒரு பேரழகு
அழகோ அழகு அவள் பேச்சழகு
அருகில் எரிக்கும் அவள் மூச்சழகு
Oh, what beauty! The beauty of her eyes is exquisite.
There is no supreme beauty like hers.
Oh, what beauty! The beauty of her speech is exquisite.
The beauty of her warm breath felt up close is exquisite.
தத்தி நடக்கும் அவள்
நடையழகு பத்தி எரியும்
அவள் உடையழகு
Oh my! Her stylish and sharp walk!
Oh my! Is she a living painting?
Oh my! Smeared with sugar,
Oh my! Was her body sculpted?
அய்யய்யோ சிக்
என நடக்கும் அய்யய்யோ
ஓவியம் அவளோ அய்யய்யோ
சக்கரை தடவி அய்யய்யோ
செஞ்சது உடலோ அழகோ அழகு
அழகோ அழகு
From which flower did this sweet nectar originate?
The beauty of her lips leaves me in absolute wonder.
Just like the evening sky turning deep red,
The beauty of the blush spreading across her cheeks is enchanting.
எந்த பூவிலிருந்து
வந்ததிந்த தேனோ என்று
என்னை வியக்கும் இதழ்
அழகு அந்தியிலே வானம்
சிவந்ததை போலே கன்னம்
எங்கும் தோன்றும் வெட்கம்
அழகு
Like a wild forest waterfall cascading in waves,
The beauty of her hair flowing freely and wildly is mesmerizing.
Weaving a net within both of her eyes,
Casting it over and over again,
The beautiful act by which she steals my heart away.
மெல்லிடையை பற்றி
சொன்னால் நில்லாத
அழகு மேலே கொஞ்சம்
பார்க்க சொன்னால்
பொல்லாத அழகு
கடவுள் கவிதை ஒன்றை
படைத்ததை என்ன சொல்ல
ஓ
காட்டருவி போலே
அலை அலையாக கண்டபடி
ஓடும் குழல் அழகு கண்ணில்
ரெண்டு வலையை பிண்ணி
பிண்ணி வீசி நெஞ்சம் அதை
பறிக்கும் செயல் அழகு
தெற்றுப் பல்லில்
சிரிக்கையில் தீராத
அழகு தள்ளி நின்று
யோசிக்கையில்
வேறேதோ அழகு
கடவுள் கவிதை ஒன்றை
படைத்ததை என்ன சொல்ல
ஓ
அய்யய்யோ அய்யய்யோ
அய்யய்யோ அய்யய்யோ
