விழி அசைந்தும்
பார்வை உறைந்தே போக
உன் வாசல் நாடி
கால்கள் தேடல் போட
விழி அசைந்தும்
பார்வை உறைந்தே போக
உன் வாசல் நாடி
கால்கள் தேடல் போட
Even as the eyes move,
The gaze remains frozen.
Seeking your doorstep,
My feet embark on a search.
Even as the eyes move,
The gaze remains frozen.
Seeking your doorstep,
My feet embark on a search.
வருடும் காற்றாய்
வாசம் வீசி போனாயே
இதய துடிப்பில் சிறு வலியை
தந்து போனாயே
வருடும் காற்றாய்
வாசம் வீசி போனாயே
இதய துடிப்பில் சிறு வலியை
தந்து போனாயே
Like a passing breeze,
You blew past leaving a sweet fragrance.
In my heartbeat, a gentle pain
You gave and went away.
Like a passing breeze,
You blew past leaving a sweet fragrance.
In my heartbeat, a gentle pain
You gave and went away.
கார்குழல் கண்மணி
என் காதல் கவிதை நீ
உன் சிறு புன்னகை
என்னை கொள்ளும் அம்படி

ழகரம் போன்ற அழகினால்
மொழியை மௌனம் ஆக்கினாய்
நாணம் கொண்ட கண்களால்
ஏனோ என்னை தாக்கினாய்
With a beauty like the sweet letter 'Zhagaram',
You rendered language into silence.
With eyes filled with bashfulness,
Why did you strike me?
ழகரம் போன்ற அழகினால்
மொழியை மௌனம் ஆக்கினாய்
நாணம் கொண்ட கண்களால்
ஏனோ என்னை தாக்கினாய்
With a beauty like the sweet letter 'Zhagaram',
You rendered language into silence.
With eyes filled with bashfulness,
Why did you strike me?
களைந்து போன உந்தன் சுவடுகள்
கவிதைகளாக கரைய மறுகையில்
உயிரின் உதிரம் உறையும் வரையிலும்
உந்தன் நினைவுகள் என்னை ஆளுமே
While your faded footprints
Hesitate to dissolve into poetry,
Until the lifeblood within me freezes,
Your memories will continue to rule over me.
