கண்ணுக்குள்ள கொஞ்சல் பேசி வல வீச
கண்ணால நீயும் கவிதை தாளாட்ட
அள்ளி அள்ளி அணைத்து நிதம் இதழ் சேர
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள காதல் ஆச கத பேச
To cast a net speaking sweet fond words inside the eyes
Lullabying poetry with your eyes
Gathering and hugging tightly every day as lips meet
As love and desire speak stories inside the heart
உந்தன் இதழ் ஓரம் மைகோர்க்க
ரோஜா கொண்டிருந்தேன்
எந்தன் இமைமோதும் இடமாக
உன்னைக் காத்திடுவேன்
உந்தன் அரையோரம் ஆசையாத
அன்பை சேர்த்திடுவேன்
உலகின் கடைக்கொடி கதிரவனாய்
ஒலியை தந்திடுவேன்
To thread ink at the corner of your lips
I was holding a rose
As a place where my eyelashes touch
I will protect you
Beside your waist, unmoving
I will gather love
As the sun at the farthest corner of the world
I will provide light
கண்ணாட்டியே கண்ணாட்டியே
கெராக்கிட்ட கண்கள் உருட்டியே
கண்ணாட்டியே கண்ணாட்டியே
அலைந்திட்டேன் அன்பை மீட்டியே
Oh sweet-eyed beloved, oh sweet-eyed beloved
Dizzied as you roll your eyes
Oh sweet-eyed beloved, oh sweet-eyed beloved
I wandered, strumming love like music
உன் அன்பு மழைத்தனிலே
என் உலகம் மூழ்கிடுமே
தினம் உன்னை நினைக்கையிலே
மனம் நித்தம் துடித்திடுதே
In the rain of your love
My world drowns
Every day when I think of you
My heart beats constantly
உன் குரல் கேட்டிடவே
என் கால்கள் ஓடிடுமே
உன் காதல் மொழிதனிலே
என் உலகம் நீண்டிடுமே
Just to hear your voice
My feet will run
In your language of love
My world will swim and expand
நிழல் உன்னை தொடந்திடுமே
மனம் முழுதும் நீ
கனவெல்லாம் நெனைவாக்கும்
நிலாவொளியாய் நான்
A shadow will follow you
You fill my entire heart
All dreams become reality
I am like moonlight
விழித்தனில் அவன் முகமோ
மறைவில்லாமல்
கையோடு தாங்கிடுவேன்
இணைப்பிரியாமல்
Is his face reflecting in my eyes?
Without any concealment
I will hold you in my hands
Inseparably intertwined
அடை மழை பொழிந்திடும் முன்
குடையாய் அணைத்திடுவேன்
சுடும் வெயில் படர்ந்திடவே
மலையாய் மறைதிடுவேன்
உயிராய் உன்னை நாளும்
உருகியே முத்திடுவேன்
உனையின்றி ஒரு நொடியும்
பிரிந்தால் மடிந்திடுவேன்
Before the heavy downpour falls
I will embrace you like an umbrella
As the scorching heat spreads
I will shield you like a mountain
Holding you as my soul every day
I will melt and kiss you
Without you for even a single moment
If separated, I will perish
கண்ணாட்டியே கண்ணாட்டியே
மனசுக்குள் வைப்பேன் பூட்டியே
கண்ணாட்டியே கண்ணாட்டியே
இணைந்திட்டோம் கைகள் நீட்டியே
கண்ணாட்டியே
ஹா..ஆ..ஆஆ
கண்ணாட்டியே கண்ணாட்டியே
கண்ணாட்டியே .......
