மலருக்குள்ளே
தேன்துளி போலே்
மனதுக்குள்
காதலை மறைத்திருந்தேன்
Inside the flower
Like a drop of honey
Deep inside my heart
I hid my love away
மலர் குடையும்
வண்டினைபோல்
மறைந்துள்ள
தேன் துளி நீ அறிந்தாய்
Like a buzzing bee
That burrows into a blossom
You discovered the hidden
Drop of honey within me
சொல்ல நினைக்கும்
சொற்கள் இல்லையே
தீப்பெட்டிக்குள் எரிமலை
மறைத்து வைத்தேன்
There are no words
To express what I wish to say
Inside a matchbox, a volcano
I had kept concealed
கண்கள் உரசி தீயை கிளப்பி
எரிமலை வெடிக்க வைத்தாய்
Brushing eyes together
Igniting sparks of fire
You made that volcano erupt
காதல் காதல் மழை பெய்து
என் ஜென்மம் நினைந்து விட்டதே
போதும் இது போதும்
இனி நட்டு வைத்த கொடிகளில்
நட்சத்திரம் மலரும்
A shower of love love drizzled down
And soaked my entire life
This is enough, this is enough
From now on, on the vines planted
Stars will bloom into flowers
சிட்டு சிட்டு குருவி
வாலாட்டுதே!
தொட்டு தொட்டு இழுத்து
தாலாட்டுதே!
The little sparrows
Are wagging their tails
Touching and pulling gently
Singing a lullaby
திக்கி திக்கி என்னமோ

Stuttering stammering, something
The mouth tries to say
Is it to trap me
And entrance me completely?
நதிக்கரையில் வயல்வெளியில்
நாம் கொண்ட காதலை கூவிடுவேன்
குன்றுகளின் பாறைகளில்
உன் பெயர் எழுதி வைப்பேன்
On riverbanks and open fields
I will shout out our love aloud
On the rocks atop the hills
I will engrave your name
நீ அறியா பொழுதுகளில்
நீ தொட்ட இடங்களை நான் தொடுவேன்
நீ அறியா நேரங்களில்
உன் முத்தங்களை சேகரிப்பேன்
In moments when you do not know
I will touch the places you touched
In times when you are unaware
I will collect all your kisses
காற்று காற்ற வெளியில் ஆ..
நம் காதல் முளைத்து நிற்குதே
குழந்தாய் என்னை அளந்தாய்
உந்தன் ஆடை கொண்ட நுனிகளில்
என் உயிர் முடிந்தாய்
Across all the open air and space
Our love sprouts and stands tall
You measured me like a child
In the edges of your garments
You tied up my very soul
சிட்டு சிட்டு குருவி
வாலாட்டுதோ!
தொட்டு தொட்டு இழுத்து
தாலாட்டுதோ!
The little sparrows
Are they wagging their tails?
Touching and pulling gently
Are they singing a lullaby?
