கண்ணே என் கார்முகிலே......
கண்ணீரும் ஏனடியோ
பொண்ணே என் பூங்கொடியே....
போராட்டம் ஏனடியோ
My darling, my dark raincloud...
Why are you shedding tears?
My golden one, my flowering vine...
Why is there such a struggle?
பல நாள் இருள்தான்
ஒரு நாள் விடியும்
ஆனந்தம் கை கூடட்டும்
Darkness may prevail for many days,
But dawn will break one day.
May happiness come together!
கண்ணே என் கார்முகிலே......
கண்ணீரும் ஏனடியோ
My darling, my dark raincloud...
Why are you shedding tears?
நான் என்றும் நீ என்றும்
வேறென்று ஆகாது
கலங்கும் மனமே கண்ணீரும் கூடாது
That you and I are different,
Will never come to pass.
Oh troubled heart,
Even tears should not be shed.
பூவோடு சேராமல்
காற்றெங்கும் போகாது
பொழுதும் விடியும் போராட்டம் ஓயாது
Without joining with the flower,
The wind goes nowhere.
The day will surely break,
And the struggle will not cease till then.
தீபத்தைப் போல்
என்றும் உன் வாழ்வுதான்
தியாகங்கள் உன்னோடுதான்
பாசத்தில் மாறாது உன் பார்வைதான்
பார்க்கின்றேன் உன்னோடுதான்
Always like a bright lamp,
Your life shines.
Sacrifices lie with you.
Unchanging in affection,
Is your gaze.
I see myself only with you.
தனியாய் இருந்தேன்
துணையாய் இணைந்தாய்
மாறாது நம் காதலே.....
I was all alone,
You joined me as my companion.
Our love will never change...
கண்ணே என் கார்முகிலே......
கண்ணீரும் ஏனடியோ
My darling, my dark raincloud...
Why are you shedding tears?
கல்யாணப் பூ மாலை
போடாத ஓர் மாது
கண்ணீர் மாலை
போட்டாளே இப்போது
A wedding garland of flowers,
A woman who hasn't worn one yet,
A garland of tears,
She wears right now.
தோளோடு பூ மாலை
வாராமல் போகாது
தொடரும் உறவோ
எப்போதும் மாறாது
A flower garland around the shoulders,
Will not fail to arrive.
The continuing bond,
Will never change at any time.
சோகத்தின் சங்கீதம் சுகமானது
சொந்தங்கள் திரை போடுது
பாசத்தில் துன்பங்கள் உண்டானது
வேஷங்கள் விலை பேசுது
The music of sorrow,
Has become sweet.
Relatives draw a dividing curtain.
Out of deep affection, troubles
Have been created.
False pretenses bargain for a price.
உயிரும் உறவும்
உணர்வும் நீயே
உன்னில் இவள் பாதியே...ஏய்
Life and relationship,
And emotion, you are everything.
In you, she is half...
கண்ணே என் கார்முகிலே......
கண்ணீரும் ஏனடியோ
My darling, my dark raincloud...
Why are you shedding tears?
பல நாள் இருள்தான்
ஒரு நாள் விடியும்
ஆனந்தம் கை கூடட்டும்
Darkness may prevail for many days,
But dawn will break one day.
May happiness come together!
கண்ணே என் கார்முகிலே......
கண்ணீரும் ஏனடியோ
My darling, my dark raincloud...
Why are you shedding tears?
ம்ஹ்ஹீம் ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்....
ம்ஹ்ஹீம் ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்....
