சாலை எங்கும்
மலர்களின் மாநாடு
பெண்கள் தானே கண்களின்
சாப்பாடு மனதுக்குள் புதிய
தொல்லை அதன் பேர்
சொல்ல தெரியவில்லை
All over the roads
A conference of flowers
It is women who are
A feast for the eyes
A new trouble within the heart
I do not know how to state its name
நதிமேல்
செல்லும் பொன்
இறகினை போல
நகர்ந்தே செல்லும்
நம் வாழ்க்கை இங்கே
கனவோ இங்கே நம்
கரையும் எங்கே தேடல்
வாழ்விங்கே
Moving upon a river
Like a golden feather
Gently moving forward
Our life moves along here
Is it a dream here?
Where do we dissolve?
Life here is a quest...
