மற்றும் ரம்யா என்எஸ்கே
Oh darling-caressed flower,
Come to me a little,
Scoop yourself into my palm and give yourself to me.
{செல்லம் கொஞ்சும் பூவே
கொஞ்சம் வாடா
உள்ளங்கையில் உன்னை அள்ளி தாடா} (2)
I asked for a star, you gave me the sky,
I asked for you, you gave me your life.
விண்மீன் கேட்டேன் வானம் தந்தாய்
உன்னை கேட்டேன் உயிரை தந்தாய்
As clouds caress other clouds,
Can we listen to the sound of their whispers?
In the lap of that silver moon,
Can we listen to love stories?
Can we dream together while asleep...
மேகம் மேகத்தோடு கொஞ்சி
பேசும் ஓசை கேட்கலாமா
அந்த வெண்ணிலவின் மடியில்
காதல் கதைகள் கேட்கலாமா
தூங்கி பார்க்கலாம்..ஆஆ...
Oh darling-caressed flower,
Come to me a little,
Scoop yourself into my palm and give yourself to me.
Come a little... scoop and give...
செல்லம் கொஞ்சும் பூவே
கொஞ்சம் வாடா
உள்ளங்கையில் உன்னை அள்ளி தாடா
கொஞ்சம் வாடா... அள்ளி தாடா....
On the shaded street,
Where flowers fall,
My heart swims along with you.
Rain flowers as a gift of love,
My hands reach out to hold for you.
பூக்கள் உதிர்கின்ற
நிழல் சாலையில்
நெஞ்சம் உன்னோடு நீந்தும்
காதல் பரிசாக மழை பூக்களை
கைகள் உனக்காக ஏந்தும்
As my eyes keep watching,
All your senseless gibberish,
How did it turn into poetry?
How did you turn into a poet?
என் கண்கள் பார்த்துக்கொண்டே
நீ உளறும் உளறல் எல்லாம்
ஒரு கவிதை ஆனதென்ன
நீ கவிஞன் ஆனதென்ன
You are my angel of love,
Cover me inside your wings.
Inside the flute of my breath,
Come and sing a melody at night,
Search for yourself within me.
எந்தன் காதல் தேவதை நீ
உந்தன் சிறகில் என்னை மூடு
எந்தன் மூச்சு குழலுக்குள்ளே
வந்து இரவில் ராகம் பாடு
என்னில் உன்னை தேடு
Oh darling-caressed flower,
Come to me a little,
Scoop yourself into my palm and give yourself to me.
செல்லம் கொஞ்சும் பூவே
கொஞ்சம் வாடா
உள்ளங்கையில் உன்னை அள்ளி தாடா
Like the morning dew,
Your memory,
Touches me with a cool sensation.
Male: Hey, as the evening sunlight arrives,
Upon my chest,
Teases me using your fingers.
காலையின் பனி போல
உன் நியாபகம்
என்னை சில்லென்று தீண்டும்
ஹே... மாலை வெயில் வந்து
என் மார்பிலே
உந்தன் விரல் கொண்டு சீண்டும்
All the beauty of my dreams,
Why did you gather and bring them?
Male: All my words of love,
Why did you teach them to me?
என் கனவின் அழகு எல்லாம்
நீ அள்ளி வந்ததென்ன
என் காதல் மொழிகள் எல்லாம்
நீ சொல்லி தந்ததென்ன
All the breeze blowing here,
Should carry your fragrance.
Gathering the colors of the passing sky,
I want to paint them on your heart,
Until our eyes dazzle.
இங்கு வீசும் காற்று எல்லாம்
உந்தன் வாசம் வீச வேண்டும்
போகும் வின்னின் வண்ணம் அள்ளி
உந்தன் நெஞ்சில் பூச வேண்டும்
கண்கள் கூச வேண்டும்...
Oh darling-caressed flower,
Come to me a little,
Scoop yourself into my palm and give yourself to me.
செல்லம் கொஞ்சும் பூவே
கொஞ்சம் வாடா
உள்ளங்கையில் உன்னை அள்ளி தாடா
I asked for a star, you gave me the sky,
I asked for you, you gave me your life.
விண்மீன் கேட்டேன் வானம் தந்தாய்
உன்னை கேட்டேன் உயிரை தந்தாய்
Oh darling-caressed flower,
Come to me a little,
Scoop yourself into my palm and give yourself to me.
Come a little... scoop and give...
ஆண் மற்றும் பெண் :
மேகம் மேகத்தோடு கொஞ்சி
பேசும் ஓசை கேட்கலாமா
அந்த வெண்ணிலவின் மடியில்
காதல் கதைகள் கேட்கலாமா
தூங்கி பார்க்கலாம்....ஆஆ....
செல்லம் கொஞ்சும் பூவே
கொஞ்சம் வாடா
உள்ளங்கையில் உன்னை அள்ளி தாடா
கொஞ்சம் வாடா... அள்ளி தாடா....
