என்னடி இத்தனை வேகம்
இது எதனால் வந்த மோகம்
என்னுயிர் வந்தது அங்கே
நான் இருந்திடுவேனோ இங்கே......
நான் இருந்திடுவேனோ இங்கே......
Why such speed, my dear?
From where did this infatuation arise?
My soul has reached over there.
Will I remain here?

{எண்ணச் சிறகை விரிப்பேன்
இதய வானிலே பறப்பேன்
உள்ளக் கடலில் குதிப்பேன்
உறவுப் படகிலே மிதப்பேன்} (2)
I will spread my wings,
I will fly in the sky of the heart,
I will leap into the ocean of feelings,
I will float on the boat of relationship.
மடியில் கிடந்து புரளுவேன்
பிடியில் அடங்கி மகிழ்வேன்
கொடியில் மலர்ந்த பூவாய்
நொடியில் என்னைக் கொடுப்பேன்.....கொடுப்பேன்
I will roll and lie on your lap,
I will rejoice, held in your grip,
Like a flower blossomed on a vine,
I will give myself in a moment... give myself.

கோபமாய் பேசினேன்
வார்த்தையை வீசினேன்
உன்னை வாயாடி பெண்ணாக இன்று
I spoke in anger,
I threw harsh words around,
Mistaking you for a chatterbox woman today.
காலங்கள் தந்திடும்
காயங்கள் தாங்கினேன்
உந்தன் சொல் கூட அது போல ஒன்று
The wounds that time bestows,
I bore them all,
Your words too are just like that.
பூந்தொகையே சொன்னா
என் வார்த்தையே
உன்னை அறியாமல்
நான் சொன்ன மொழி தானம்மா
Oh peacock-like girl, what I said,
Those were my own words,
Without understanding you,
Those were the words I uttered, my dear.
என் சோகமே என்றும்
என்னோடுதான்
எந்தன் சுமை தாங்கி எந்நாளும்
நான்தான் ஐயா
My sorrow is forever,
Only with me,
To bear my burden forever,
It is only me, sir.

ஈன்ற தாய் உண்டு
நீ உண்டு ஓர் வீட்டிலே
அந்த தாய் கூட எனக்கில்லை சொல்ல
You have a birth mother,
And you live together in a house.
I do not even have a mother like that to claim.
அந்த தாய் போல நான் உண்டு
உன் வாழ்விலே
இங்கு யாரும் அனாதைகள் அல்ல
Like that mother, I will be there,
In your life,
No one here is an orphan.
ஓர் ஓடத்தில் சேர்ந்து
நாம் போகிறோம்
சேரும் கரை ஒன்று ஓர் நாளில்
நாம் காணலாம்
Joined together in a boat,
We are traveling.
The shore where we land, one day,
We shall surely see.
கீழ் வானிலே தோன்றும்
விடி வெள்ளி போல்
வாழ்வில் ஒளி வீசும் எதிர் காலம்
உண்டாகலாம்
Appearing in the eastern sky,
Like the morning star,
A future that shines light into life,
Shall come to be.
