| Karadu moradu poovae | O rough and rugged flower! |
| Therandu vazhiyum thaenae | O overflowing honey gathered together! |
| Tharaiyil nadakkum maanae | O deer walking on the land! |
| Thunaiya iruppen naanae | I will stay as your companion. |
| Male | |
| Anba unarthidum bashai nazhuvi | Slipping away from the language that conveys love, |
| Kannil vazhigira vaarthai aruvi | A waterfall of words flowing from the eyes, |
| Tharuthae enakku usura uruvi | It snatches away my soul and gives it back to me. |
| Unna tholachadhum enna tholachen | When I lost you, I lost myself. |
| Ettu dhesaiyilum kanna vedhachen | I sowed my eyes across all eight directions searching for you. |
| Thaviyaa thavichu thangaththa pudichen | Yearning desperately, I caught hold of pure gold. |
| Male | |
| Oththa nodi pirivula | In just a single moment of separation, |
| Peththavana thudichenae…. | I squirmed like a parent who lost their child... |

கரடு முரடு பூவே
தெரண்டு வழியும் தேனே
தரையில் நடக்கும் மானே
துணையா இருப்பேன் நானே
O rough and rugged flower!
O overflowing honey gathered together!
O deer walking on the land!
I will stay as your companion.
அன்ப உணர்த்திடும் பாஷை நழுவி
கண்ணில் வழிகிற வார்த்தை அருவி
தருதே எனக்கு உசுர உருவி
உன்ன தொலைச்சதும் என்ன தொலைச்சேன்
எட்டு தெசையிலும் கண்ண வெதைச்சேன்
Slipping away from the language that conveys love,
A waterfall of words flowing from the eyes,
It snatches away my soul and gives it back to me.
When I lost you, I lost myself.
I sowed my eyes across all eight directions searching for you.
Yearning desperately, I caught hold of pure gold.
ஒத்த நொடி பிரிவுல
பெத்தவனா துடிச்சேனே....
{தர ராராம் தரரம்
தர ராராம் தரரம்

In just a single moment of separation,
I squirmed like a parent who lost their child...

O rough and rugged flower!

பொசுக்குன்னு கண்ணுக்குள்ள தெரிஞ்ச
கொழந்தையின் உருவா
போன சென்மம் நமக்குள்ள எதுவும்
தொப்புள் கொடி உறவா
Suddenly appeared inside my eyes,
Is it in the form of a child?
Was there an umbilical cord connection between us
In our previous birth?
பிள்ளையென நீ ஆகிறாய்
என் வீட்டிலே
நாளை முதல் என்ன ஆகுவாய்
உன் கூட்டிலே
ஓர் ஆண்டுகள் நீங்கதடா
உன் ஞாபகம்
You have become like a child
In my home;
What will I become starting tomorrow
In your nest?
In just one year, you gave me,
An endless joy!
For a hundred years, it will not fade,
Your memory!
நெஞ்சு கிட்ட வந்து ஒரு
மூச்சு விடு பதமாக
அந்த வெப்பம் இதயத்த
தடவிடும் இதமாக
மனசு அலையும் மெதப்பாக
Come close to my chest and
Gently breathe out.
That warmth will stroke my heart
So comfortably,
Making my heart float pleasantly.
கரடு முரடு பூவே
தெரண்டு வழியும் தேனே
தரையில் நடக்கும் மானே
துணையா இருப்பேன் நானே
O rough and rugged flower!
O overflowing honey gathered together!
O deer walking on the land!
I will stay as your companion.
பூத்து குலுங்கிற பாலைவனமே
நாலு காலு கொண்ட நந்தவனமே
உடனே நீ இருந்தா வழியும் சுகமே
தேடி அலையாம வந்த வரமே
உன்னை விட்டு விட இல்லை மனமே
முடிவு தெரிஞ்ச பயணம் கணமே
O desert blooming in full glory!
O garden on four legs!
If you are with me, even pain feels like pleasure.
A boon that arrived without having to search for it.
My heart does not wish to leave you.
A journey whose end is known feels heavy.
இருளிள ஒளியில
அருகில இரு போதும்

Poetic devices
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Karadu moradu poovae / Therandu vazhiyum thaenae / Tharaiyil nadakkum maanae / Thunaiya iruppen naanae”
The opening quatrain uses end rhymes ('poovae', 'thaenae', 'maanae', 'naanae') to create a soothing, lullaby-like rhythmic movement.
Metaphor (Uruvagaim)
“Pooththu kulungira paalaivanamae / Naalu kaalu konda nandhavanamae”
The lyricist metaphorically describes the camel as a 'four-legged garden' (Naalu kaalu konda nandhavanamae) and a 'blooming desert' (Pooththu kulungira paalaivanamae).
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navortchi)
“Ettu dhesaiyilum kanna vedhachen”
Exaggeration used to emphasize intense yearning, describing looking in all directions as 'sowing one's eyes across eight directions'.
