காதல் வீசி
சென்றாயே காற்றில்
எங்கும் நின்றாயே
நெஞ்சில் மையம்
கொண்டாயே நிலவனே
You blew love towards me and passed by
You stood everywhere in the breeze
You centered yourself within my heart
Oh moon-like man...
வெயில் தூவும்
வான் போலே வாழ்வின்
மேலே வந்தாயே மையல்
தீபம் தந்தாயே உலகம் நீயே
Like the sky scattering sunlight
You came over into my life
You gave me the lamp of romance
You are my world...
உந்தன் மார்பிலே
பெண்மை சாயுதே விழிகள்
மூடுதே விலகாதே
Upon your chest
My womanhood leans
My eyes close softly
Do not move away...
எந்தன் மேனியில்
மௌனம் பாயுதே என்
பாதங்கள் இரண்டும்
பூமியின் மீது ஓவியம்
செய்யுதே
Across my body
Silence surges through
Both of my feet
Upon the ground
Are painting pictures...
காதல் வீசி
சென்றாயே காற்றில்
எங்கும் நின்றாயே
நெஞ்சில் மையம்
கொண்டாயே நிலவனே
You blew love towards me and passed by
You stood everywhere in the breeze
You centered yourself within my heart
Oh moon-like man...
வெயில் தூவும்
வான் போலே வாழ்வின்
மேலே வந்தாயே மையல்
தீபம் தந்தாயே உலகம் நீயே
Like the sky scattering sunlight
You came over into my life
You gave me the lamp of romance
You are my world...
முல்லை
வனம் எங்கும்
முயலாய் திரிவாயே
என் பிள்ளை மனம்
எங்கும் நிலவாய்
நிறைவாயே
All across the jasmine forest
You roam like a free rabbit
All across my childlike heart
You fill it up like the full moon
உயிரோ இது
உயிரில்லை உன் உயிரின்
நிழல் தானே பிரிவோ
வெறும் பிரிவில்லை
புதையுண்டேனே
Is this life? No, this isn't life
It is merely a shadow of your life
Separation isn't just ordinary separation
I am buried in it...
உந்தன் மார்பிலே
பெண்மை சாயுதே விழிகள்
மூடுதே விலகாதே
Upon your chest
My womanhood leans
My eyes close softly
Do not move away...
எந்தன் மேனியில்
மௌனம் பாயுதே என்
பாதங்கள் இரண்டும்
பூமியின் மீது ஓவியம்
செய்யுதே
Across my body
Silence surges through
Both of my feet
Upon the ground
Are painting pictures...
காதல் வீசி
சென்றாயே காற்றில்
எங்கும் நின்றாயே
நெஞ்சில் மையம்
கொண்டாயே நிலவனே
You blew love towards me and passed by
You stood everywhere in the breeze
You centered yourself within my heart
Oh moon-like man...
வெயில் தூவும்
வான் போலே வாழ்வின்
மேலே வந்தாயே மையல்
தீபம் தந்தாயே உலகம்
நீயே யாயியே......
