ஏனோ கண்கள் உன்
முகமே கேட்கிறதே ஏனோ
கால்கள் உன் இடமே
வருகிறதே
Why do my eyes ask only for your face?
Why do my feet walk towards your place?
ஆசையோடு பேச
வந்த வார்த்தை இன்று
விடுமுறை தருகிறதே
நூறு கோடி மான்கள்
ஓடும் வேகம் போல
இருதயம் துடிக்கிறதே
The words that came to speak with desire today,
Are taking a holiday!
Like the speed of a billion deer running,
My heart is beating!
அடி நாக்குல மூக்குல
பேச்சில மூச்சில உனக்கு இது
புரியாதா உன் போக்குல
நாக்குல நடையில உடையில
மயங்கிறேன் தெரியாதா
Hey girl, in your tongue, nose, speech, and breath,
Don't you understand this?
In your style, grace, walk, and attire,
I am mesmerized, don't you know?
அடி நிக்கிற நெளியுற
நொறுங்குற நெருங்குற
நெருப்பொன்னு தெரியாதா
தினம் சொக்குற சொறுகுற
விக்கிற விலகுற விடுதலை
கிடையாதா
Hey girl, as you stand, squirm, crumble, and draw near,
Can't you see a fire burning?
Everyday swooning, wilting, hiccuping, moving away,
Is there no freedom from this?
அடங்காதது காமம்
அந்த தீயும் அடங்காதே
அடி பெண்ணே சாதம்
உப்பின்றி ருசிக்காதே
Uncontrollable desire, that fire does not subside,
Hey girl, rice without salt has no taste.
கண்ணாடியை பார்த்தே
காலம் தான் கழிகிறதா உன்
வீட்டில் தினமும் இது போல்
தான் நடக்கிறதா இந்த தினசரி
மாற்றம் காதலினாலே இரவுகள்
எல்லாமே வேகமாய் விடிகிறதா
Do you spend time just looking at the mirror?
Does this happen every day in your house too?
Is this change in daily routine because of love?
Do all the nights dawn so quickly?
வயதோடு ஒரு பூதம்
வன்முறையில் இறங்கிடுதா
ஏமாந்திடும் நேரம் தன்
வேலையை தொடங்கிடுதா
பாத்திடும் போதே பழமுதிர்
சோலை அட பருகிட
சொல்லுது வா வா வா வா
வா வா வா வா வா வா
Does a monster descend violently with age?
Does it start its work when one is off guard?
Just looking at it, it feels like a fruit orchard,
Ah, it tells me to pluck and taste!
Come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come!
..................................
...
மெதுவாய் ஒரு மௌனம்
மனதோடு பேசிடுதா பொதுவாய்
ஒரு நாணம் புன்னகையை வீசிடுதா
தடு மாறிடும் நேரம் வானிலை மாற்றம்
காற்றிலே நடந்தே குளிர் காய்ச்சல்
அடிக்கிறதா
Does a quiet silence softly speak to the heart?
Does a general shyness scatter smiles?
At a time of faltering,
As weather change happens in the wind,
Does a cold fever strike?
புரியாதொரு வேட்கை
பூ போல மலர்கிறதா பூவொன்று
தொட்டால் தீ போல சுடுகிறதா
மூடிய பூவுக்கு பூஜைகள் இல்லை
சூடிட வேண்டும் வா வா வா வா
வா வா வா வா
Does an incomprehensible longing bloom like a flower?
If a flower is touched, does it burn like fire?
There are no prayers for a closed flower; it must be worn,
Come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come!
