காதோரம்
மூச்சு காற்று ஒன்று ரீங்காரம்
செய்யுதே
கண்ணோரம்
சொப்பனங்கள் சிந்தி பூங்காற்றில்
சேருதே
Near the ear
A soft breath hums like a melody
It creates a sound
At the corner of the eyes
Dreams scatter and in the gentle breeze
They merge
அலாதியான தோற்றம்
அம் மூக்கின் மேலே சீற்றம்
விநோதமாக என்னை மாற்றுதே
An extraordinary appearance
Anger resting on that nose
Transforms me in a strange, magical way
ஆகாதே
கண்ணை கொள்ளை கொண்டு போகாதே
முன்பிலே
தாங்காதே
உன்னை பார்க்க வேணும் வேண்டாமா
கண்களே
Do not let this happen
Do not rob me with your eyes
In front of me
I cannot bear it
Should my eyes wish to see you or not?
Oh eyes
மீறாத எல்லை மீறி
கூரான சொல்லை கூறி
நீராக உன்னை சேர பார்கிறேன்
Crossing the boundaries that were never crossed
Speaking sharp words
I try to reach you directly
புயல் மழையினில் சிறு இலையென
பதறி நகரும் இள மனம்
சரி தவறென இருபுறம் மனம்
சவட்டி எடுத்து மகிழ்ந்திடும்
Like a tiny leaf in a stormy rain
The young heart moves in a flutter
Torn between right and wrong on either side
Taking joy in stepping carefully
ஒரு குடையினில் இரு நடையென
நடக்க வைக்க மழை வரும்
வலி ஒருபுறம் சுகம் ஒருபுறம்
இடையினில் அகம் மிதிப்படும்
Like two people walking under a single umbrella
The rain comes to make us walk together
Pain on one side, pleasure on the other
In between, the inner soul gets trodden
நீ தேடவேண்டும் தொலைந்து போகவா
உன் கண்ணின் ஓரம் கணவாகவா
நீ கூறும் வண்ணம் பெண்ணாக மாறவா
மாற்றத்தில் ஒன்றை மடி சேரவா
Should I get lost so that you search for me?
Should I become a dream at the edge of your eye?
Female: Shall I become a woman in the color you desire?
Shall I rest on your lap as one with the change?
கண்ணாடி முன் நின்று நின்று
என்னை கூர்ந்து பார்கின்றேன்
நான் இல்லையே
என்னாச்சுடா என்று என்னை கேள்வி கேட்கிறேன்
வெட்கப்பட்டு வேர்க்கிறேன்
Standing repeatedly before the mirror
I look at myself closely
I am not there
I ask myself, what happened to me dear?
Female: Blushing, I break into a sweat
புயல் மழையினில் சிறு இலையென
பதறி நகரும் இள மனம்
சரி தவறென இருபுறம் மனம்
சவட்டி எடுத்து மகிழ்ந்திடும்
Like a tiny leaf in a stormy rain
The young heart moves in a flutter
Torn between right and wrong on either side
Taking joy in stepping carefully
ஒரு குடையினில் இரு நடையென
நடக்க வைக்க மழை வரும்
வலி ஒருபுறம் சுகம் ஒருபுறம்
இடையினில் அகம் மிதிப்படும்
Like two people walking under a single umbrella
The rain comes to make us walk together
Pain on one side, pleasure on the other
In between, the inner soul gets trodden
வெண்மேகம் ஒன்று விதானம் மாறுது
வானத்தை விட்டு தரை சேருது
நீரூற்று ஒன்று நிதானம் ஆகுது
தோள் மீது சாய்ந்து அணை போடுது
A white cloud changes its canopy
Leaving the sky to reach the ground
A water spring gains its calm rhythm
Leaning on the shoulder, creating a dam
எங்கே எந்தன் வானவில்லை காணவில்லை
என்றேங்கி வான் தேடுது
நீ இங்குதான் உள்ள சேதி கண்டுகொண்டாடுது
விட்டு விட்டு சென்றது
Where is my rainbow? It is nowhere to be seen
Longing, the sky searches for it
It celebrated the news that you are right here
Female: It went away in intermittent bursts
புயல் மழையினில் சிறு இலையென
பதறி நகரும் இள மனம்
சரி தவறென இருபுறம் மனம்
சவட்டி எடுத்து மகிழ்ந்திடும்
Like a tiny leaf in a stormy rain
The young heart moves in a flutter
Torn between right and wrong on either side
Taking joy in stepping carefully
ஒரு குடையினில் இரு நடையென
நடக்க வைக்க மழை வரும்
வலி ஒருபுறம் சுகம் ஒருபுறம்
