அலங்கார ஓவியம் அன்பு எனும் காவியம்
அண்ணனின் தங்கை அங்கே
நலம் பாடும் நெஞ்சமே நாளெல்லாம்
கொண்டவன் தங்கையின் அண்ணன் இங்கே
An ornate painting, an epic called love,
The brother's sister is over there.
A heart that sings of well-being all day long,
The husband and the sister's brother are over here.
கண்ணனின் சன்னதியில்
எந்தன் கண்மணி புன்னகையில்
இனிமேல் காலங்கள் உள்ளவரை
எந்தன் பொன்மணிக்கென்ன குறை.....
In the divine presence of Lord Krishna,
In the smile of my precious eye,
From now on, as long as time exists,
What sorrow could my precious golden heart ever have?
கண்ணனின் சன்னதியில்
எந்தன் கண்மணி புன்னகையில்
இனிமேல் காலங்கள் உள்ளவரை
எந்தன் பொன்மணிக்கென்ன குறை.....
In the divine presence of Lord Krishna,
In the smile of my precious eye,
From now on, as long as time exists,
What sorrow could my precious golden heart ever have?
அன்பு சொன்ன வேதம்
நான் அன்று கொண்ட பாசம்
எங்கு நின்ற போதும்
என் எண்ணம் உன்னை வாழ்த்தும்
The holy scripture taught by love,
The deep affection I held that day,
No matter where I stand,
My thoughts will always bless you.
அண்ணன் செய்த யாவும்
நீ அறிந்ததில்லை இன்று
காலம் சொல்ல கூடும்
என் உள்ளம் என்னவென்று
All that your brother did for you,
You do not know today;
Time might eventually reveal
What truly lies within my heart.
கட்டிலில் ஓர் உறவு பின்னால்
தொட்டிலில் ஓர் உறவு
இது போல் ஆயிரம் உறவு வரும்
எங்கே அண்ணனின் நினைவு வரும்
A relationship in the marital bed, later
A relationship in the child's cradle;
A thousand such relationships will come along,
Where will the memory of this brother remain?
கண்ணனின் சன்னதியில்
எந்தன் கண்மணி புன்னகையில்
இனிமேல் காலங்கள் உள்ளவரை
எந்தன் பொன்மணிக்கென்ன குறை
In the divine presence of Lord Krishna,
In the smile of this precious eye,
From now on, as long as time exists,
What sorrow could my precious golden heart ever have?
சொன்ன வார்த்தை காக்க
உன் அண்ணன் பட்டப்பாடு
சொல்ல வார்த்தை ஏது
நான் சென்ற பாதை வேறு
To keep the word that was given,
The hardships your brother endured,
There are no words left to express;
The path I traveled was entirely different.
உன்னை போற்ற வேண்டும்
நீ வாழப் போகும் வீடு
அண்ணன் எண்ணம் வந்தால்
நீ கடிதம் ஒன்று போடு
The home where you go to live
Must cherish and praise you.
If you ever happen to think of your brother,
Just drop a simple letter.
தங்கச் சங்கிலியே
எந்தன் தங்கை சங்கிலியே
அவள் நெஞ்சினில் நீயாடு
அண்ணன் நினைவினை நீ கூறு
Oh golden necklace,
My sister's golden necklace,
Dance upon her chest,
And convey to her the memory of her brother.
