இதயம் இதயம் பனி போல் உருகும்
இவளின் ஸ்பரிசம் உயிரை உரசும்
கனவும் விலகும் கண்கள் கண் தொடும்
கனவும் விலகும் கண்கள் கண் தொடும்
இனி காதல் நடனம் வானில் நடக்கும் ஜீவனே
The heart, the heart melts like snow,
Her touch grazes my very soul.
Dreams part as eyes touch eyes,
Dreams part as eyes touch eyes,
From now on, a dance of love will take place in the sky, my living soul.
இதயம் இதயம் அது பனி போல் உருகும்
இவனின் ஸ்பரிசம் உயிரை உரசும்
The heart, the heart melts like snow,
His touch grazes my very soul.
வந்து வெண்ணிலா
தோளில் பற்றிக்கொண்டதோ
பங்கமின்றியே பாயில் ஒட்டிக்கொண்டதோ
Has the white moon arrived,
And clung to my shoulders?
Has it seamlessly stuck to the mat?
பள்ளி மாணவன் கையில்
பாடம் கேட்பதா
பாடம் சொன்னவன் மார்பில்
பள்ளி கொள்வதா
Is it learning lessons,
In the hands of a schoolboy?
Or resting peacefully,
On the chest of the one who taught the lesson?
இதழின் முத்தம் எழுதும் தலையில்
இவனுக்குத்தான் இமயம் புகழில்
A kiss of the lips writes upon the forehead,
Fame as grand as the Himalayas belongs to him.
காதலா காவல் காத்திரு
காமனை நாளை கூப்பிடு
இனி போதும் தனிமை
தீய இளமை கைக்கொடு
Oh lover, stay on guard,
Invite the God of Love tomorrow.
Male: Loneliness is enough now,
Youth is like fire, give me your hand.
இதயம் இதயம் பனி போல் உருகும்
இவனின் ஸ்பரிசம் உயிரை உரசும்
The heart, the heart melts like snow,
His touch grazes my very soul.
கோடிக்காலமாய் நெஞ்சில் சேர்த்து வைத்தது
கொள்ளை போனதால் கொஞ்சம் அஞ்சி விட்டது
வானப்பெண்ணுக்கு மேகம் சேலை ஆனது
மூட பார்க்கிறாள் அழகை மோகம் ஏங்குது
What was stored in the heart for ages,
Felt a bit frightened because it was plundered.
Male: The cloud became a saree for the sky maiden,
She tries to cover her beauty while desire yearns.
ஒரிவரிதான் படித்தேன் கவிதை
உணர்ந்துவிட்டேன் கவிஞன் மனதை
போதுமா உழவன் தோள் தொடு
போர்வையால் உன்னைப் போர்த்திடு
I read just one line of the poem,
And I understood the poet's heart.
Male: Is it enough? Touch the farmer's shoulder,
Wrap yourself in a blanket.
இது நானும் நிலவை
நாளும் பழகு நீ தொடு
This is me and the moon,
Befriend each day and touch.
இதயம் இதயம் பனி போல் உருகும்
இவளின் ஸ்பரிசம் உயிரை உரசும்
கனவும் விலகும் கண்கள் கண் தொடும்
கனவும் விலகும் கண்கள் கண் தொடும்
இனி காதல் நடனம் வானில் நடக்கும் ஜீவனே
The heart, the heart melts like snow,
Her touch grazes my very soul.
Dreams part as eyes touch eyes,
Dreams part as eyes touch eyes,
From now on, a dance of love will take place in the sky, my living soul.
இதயம் இதயம் பனி போல் உருகும்
இவனின் ஸ்பரிசம் உயிரை உரசும்
The heart, the heart melts like snow,
Female: His touch grazes my very soul.
