உன்னோட வார்த்தைகள்
ஒவ்வொன்றை கோர்த்திடும்
பாக்கியம் வேண்டுமே எனக்கு.......எனக்கு
அன்பே உன் மேல் பித்தனாகுறேன்
என்னோட வாழ்க்கையில் ஒவ்வொரு நாளுமே
உன்னோடு வார்த்தையில் இருக்கு........இருக்கு
அன்பே உன்னால் புத்தனாகுறேன்
Stringing each of your words together,
I need that good fortune... for me... for me.
My love, I am going crazy over you.
Every single day in my life,
Lies within your words... lies within.
My love, because of you, I become enlightened like Buddha.
பொல்லாதடி பொல்லாதடி
சின்ன சின்ன புன்னகை
உள்ளம் கண்டபடி துள்ளுதடி
நீ கொஞ்சி கொஞ்சி பார்க்கையில்
It is wicked, so wicked,
Your tiny, sweet smile.
My heart leaps wildly as it pleases,
When you look at me with affection.
கண்டுபிடி கண்டிபிடி
முதலே முடிவே நீயென்று
கொல்லாதடி கொல்லாதடி
பாவம் பொடியன் நான்
Find out, oh find out,
That you are the beginning and the end.
Don't kill me, don't kill me,
I am just a poor innocent boy.
கார்குழல் அருவியில் நனைந்திடும் வரம்
காதலில் கவலைகள் கரைந்திடும் தினம்
தேடுதே கவிதைகள் அவளிதல் மனம்
தீருதே தமிழினில் அழகியல் பதம்
The blessing of getting drenched in the waterfall of dark hair,
The day when worries dissolve in love.
Poems search for the fragrance of her lips,
Esthetic terms in Tamil are exhausted describing her.
அன்பே அன்றே அங்கே
என்னை கொல்லை கொண்டு போனாயோ நீ
கண்ணை மூடி உன்னை கண்டால்
முன்னே வந்து நின்றதானடி
கண்மணியே....
My love, that very day, right there,
Did you rob me of myself and leave?
When I close my eyes and think of you,
You come and stand right in front of me!
Oh darling of my eyes...
கண்மணியே....
Oh darling of my eyes...
கண்மணியே....
Oh darling of my eyes...
கண்மணியே....
Oh darling of my eyes...
இவள் இதழ் இதம் என
இலக்கியம் பாடியதோ
அவள் முதல் நடுவினில்
அணிகலன் ஆகியதோ
Did literature sing praise,
Calling her lips the ultimate comfort?
In her beginning and middle,
Did it become an ornament?
காதல் மழையில் இணையும் இதயம்
இளகும் பணிக்கூல் ஆகியதோ
நாளும் உனையே சுழலும் நிலவாய் மனதும்
துணைக்கோள் ஆகிதோ
The heart that unites in the rain of love,
Has it become melting ice cream?
Like a moon revolving around you every day,
Has my mind become a satellite?
ஹே பெண்ணே நானும் உன்னை கண்ட போதிலே
வானூர்தியாக மாறி நானும் விண்ணிலே
உன் சிந்தனையை ஏந்தி கொண்டு நெஞ்சிலே
நீ தந்த பார்வை ஒன்றை பொத்தி வைத்தேன் என்னிலே
Hey girl, the moment I saw you,
I turned into an airplane soaring in the sky.
Carrying thoughts of you in my heart,
I cherished and kept safe the single glance you gave me.
உன் மன ஓட்டத்தை பந்தயம் வைக்கிற
தந்திரகாரியும் நீதானோ
மின்சார வேகத்தில் பெண்சாரம் பாய்ச்சிய
மந்திர பார்வையும் நீதானோ
The clever woman who bets on the stream of your thoughts,
Is that clever woman you?
Showering feminine essence at the speed of electricity,
Is that magical glance yours?
அகம் அதில் தினம் இவள்
திரை கடல் ஆனாளோ
முகம் மலர் கணம் அதில்
திரவிய தேனாளோ
Daily within the inner mind, did she,
Become a wavy ocean?
The moment her face blossoms like a flower,
Did she become liquid honey?
அகம் அதில் தினம் இவள்
திரை கடல் ஆனாளோ
முகம் மலர் கணம் அதில்
திரவிய தேனாளோ
பூந்தளிரே.....
Daily within the inner mind, did she,
Become a wavy ocean?
The moment her face blossoms like a flower,
Did she become liquid honey?
Oh tender flower sprout...
கார்குழல் அருவியில் நனைத்திடும் வரம்

தேடுதே கவிதைகள் அவளிதழ் மனம்
தீருதே தமிழினில் அழகியல் பதம்
The blessing of getting drenched in the waterfall of dark hair,
The day when worries dissolve in love.
