கண்ணும் கண்ணும்தான்
கலந்தாச்சு கலப்பில் காதல் தான்
கருவாச்சு கண்ணில் மட்டும் கற்பு
போயாச்சு
Eyes met with eyes and merged together.
From this unison, love took form like an embryo.
Only in the eyes, modesty was lost.

என்னில் உன்னை
நான் சோ்த்து வைக்கலாமா
Can I keep you gathered inside me?
வாழும் வரைக்கும்
நான் செலவாக வரவா
Can I come as your spending money as long as we live?
பணிகாலமா இல்ல
வோ்வையா அடி காற்றாய்
நானும் தொடவா
Is it winter season or sweat?
Hey girl, shall I touch you like the breeze?
தோள் சாயனும்
கை ஆயனும் அட நாணம்
கைதான் விடுமா
Should lean on shoulders, hands should care...
Ah, will shyness let go of its grip?

தான் உயிா் மூச்சு காதல்

மத்த நேரம் ரொம்ப போராச்சு
Empty air itself became the breath of life,
Love alone became true life.
The rest of time became so boring.

நேரமும் ஆராய்ச்சி
பொண்ணுக்குள்ள ஆணின்
மனசாட்சி
What happened inside the girl?
All time is spent in research,
A man's conscience is inside the girl.
விரலால் நானும்
உன் தேகம் நெய்யலாமா
Can I weave your body with my fingers?
அடடா கூச்சம்
உன்னை சும்மா விடுமா
Oh dear, will shyness leave you alone?
உன் மூச்சிலும்
என் பேச்சிலும் நாம்
வாழும் வாழ்க்கை கொடுமா
In your breath and in my talk,
Is the life we live cruel?
விழி வீச்சிலும்
பொய் பேச்சிலும் நம்
காதல் வாழும் சுகமா
In the glance of eyes and fake talk,
Does our love live in sweet pleasure?

பத்து மாதம் தான்
தாய் வயிற்றில் இனி மொத்த
காலம் தான் உன்னிடத்தில்
என்னை தாங்கும் தாயும் நீயே
Only ten months in a mother's womb,
Now the rest of time is with you.
You are the mother who supports me...
பிறக்கும் போது
தான் பெண்ணானேன்
வளரும் போது தான்
ஆணானேன் உன்னால்
தானே தாயும் ஆவேன்
Only at birth was I a woman,
While growing up I became a man,
Because of you alone, I will become a mother.
காதில் வந்து
ஒரு வாா்த்தை
சொல்லலாமா
Can I come to your ear and whisper a word?
சொல்லும் வாா்த்தை
என்னை உயிரோடு விடுமா
Will that spoken word leave me alive?
விழியோரமா
அதிகாரமா நம் காதல்
ஆட்சி அமைக்கும்
At the corner of the eye, authoritatively,
Our love will establish its reign.
அது தானடா
வெகு காலமா நாம்
வாழும் வரைக்கும் நிலைக்கும்
That is what will endure for a long time,
It will last as long as we live.
