இருவது வயது வரை
என் பெற்றோரின் வசம் இருந்தேன்
இருபது நிமிடத்திலே
நான் உன் வசம் ஆகிவிட்டேன்
Until twenty years of age,
I was under the care of my parents.
In just twenty minutes,
I became completely yours.
உன் கண்ணில் என்ன காந்தமோ
நான் அறியேன் நான் அறியேன்
காதல் செய்த மாயமோ
நான் அறியேன் நான் அறியேன்
என்னில் வந்த மாற்றம் என்னவோ......
What kind of magnetic pull is in your eyes?
I do not know, I do not know.
Is it a magic spell cast by love?
I do not know, I do not know.
What is this sudden transformation within me?
பார்வைகளும் மோதியதே
கோடி மின்னல் தோன்றுதே
இதயம் இடம் மாறியதே
இரு உயிரும் சேர்ந்ததே
Our eyes met and collided,
A million lightnings appeared,
The heart shifted its place,
And two souls united as one.
இருவது வயது வரை
என் பெற்றோரின் வசம் இருந்தேன்
இருபது நிமிடத்திலே
நான் உன் வசம் ஆகிவிட்டேன்
Until twenty years of age,
I was under the care of my parents.
In just twenty minutes,
I became completely yours.
உள்ளங்கள் பேசும் மொழி படிப்போமே
கண்களில் நாமும் இனி சிரிப்போமே
அழகு வானவில்லில் இருவர் பெயரை
சேர்த்து எழுதி அதை ரசிப்போமே
Shall we learn the silent language spoken by hearts?
From now on, shall we smile through our eyes?
Writing both our names together on a beautiful rainbow,
Shall we admire it?
நம் உள்ளம் ரெண்டும் பட்டமாகவே மாறலாம்
அதை காதல் நூலில் கட்டி வானிலே பறக்கலாம்
நாம் தூங்கும் நேரம் காதல் நினைவு
கிச்சு கிச்சு மூட்டும் போதும்
வெட்கம் வந்து கொஞ்சம் சிரிப்போமே
Both our hearts can become kites,
Tied to the thread of love, we can fly them high in the sky.
When memories of love tickle us softly
In our sleep,
Shall we blush and smile a little?
இருவது வயது வரை
என் பெற்றோரின் வசம் இருந்தேன்
இருபது நிமிடத்திலே
நான் உன் வசம் ஆகிவிட்டேன்
Until twenty years of age,
I was under the care of my parents.
In just twenty minutes,
I became completely yours.

முத்தத்தை கவிதை என ரசிப்போமே
கன்னத்தில் எழுதிவிட துடித்தோமே
கடலில் கரை மணலில் சேர்ந்தே நடந்து
பாத சுவடுகளை இணைப்போமே
Shall we cherish a kiss like poetry?
We yearned to write it upon the cheek.
Walking together on the sandy beach,
Shall we intertwine our footsteps?
நம் முத்த சத்தம் தாளமாகவே மாறலாம்
நம் மூச்சில் காதல் ராகம் கேட்கவே ரசிக்கலாம்
வரும் காலம் எல்லாம் காதல் என்றால்
நம்மை பற்றி உலகம் சொல்ல
அன்பே அன்பே நாமும் இணைப்போமே
The sound of our kisses can turn into rhythm,
We can enjoy listening to the melody of love in our breath.
If all the future ahead is filled with love,
So that the world speaks about our bond,
My beloved, shall we unite forever?
இருவது வயது வரை
என் பெற்றோரின் வசம் இருந்தேன்
