தேவதை நகல் இங்கு
மகள் என ஆனதோ
பேசிடும் நிலவொன்று
என் கையில் சேருதோ
Has a copy of an angel here
Become my daughter?
Has a talking moon
Joined in my hands?
இதழின் சிரிப்பினில்
தவழ்ந்திடும் புன்னகையில்
யுகங்கள் வாழ்ந்திட
தவம் கிடப்பேன்
In the laughter of her lips
In the creeping smile
To live for ages
I shall do penance
கை விரல் கோர்த்து
செல்ல மகள் நடக்கையில்
வாழ்வின் அர்த்தம் அதை
நானும் உணர்ந்தேன்
Entwining fingers
When my darling daughter walks
The meaning of life
I too realized
இவளின் பார்வையில்
தாயின் ஜாடைகள்
குழந்தை ஆகிறேன்
நான்… நான்… நான்… நான்…
In her gaze
Traces of a mother
I become a child
I... I... I... I...

ஹா...ஆஅ....
மழலை மொழி புது கவிதை
காதில் விழ அது இனித்திடுமே
மின் மினியே பெண் நிலவே
சின்ன தாயும் நீயாடி
Haaa...aa
Baby talk is new poetry
Falling in the ears, it brings sweetness
Oh firefly, oh female moon
You are my little mother
பூ மகளின் சாயலிலே
என் உலகம் பார்த்துவிட்டேன்
இவள் சிரிக்கும் ஓசையிலே
நானும் வாழ்கிறேன்
In the likeness of my flower-like daughter
I have seen my world
In the sound of her laughter
I too am living
நெஞ்சில் சாய்ந்திடும்
சொர்க்கம் நீயடி
கொஞ்சும் பைங்கிளி
வா… வா… வா… வா…
Leaning on my heart
You are heaven
Cooing little parrot
Come... come... come... come...
