Bestowing the sacred thread
The reason and cause of my life
Bestowing the sacred thread
The reason and cause of my life
ஏய் காதலி காதலி
விண்ணை விழுங்கும் விழி
என்னையும் விழுங்கிடும் விழா
ஏய் முட்டியே சாய்தோரு
காதலாடிடும் விழா
Hey my beloved, my beloved
With eyes that swallow the sky
A celebration that swallows me too
Hey, a festival that bumps into me and tilts me over
A celebration that plays with love
ஏய் வெண்ணிற வெண்ணிற
வெட்க பறவைகளின்
கூண்டினை உடைத்திடும் விழா
என் நெஞ்சினில் மாட்டி
கூட்டி போகும் ஒரு விழா
Hey white, pure white
A festival that breaks the cage
Of the birds of shyness
Catching hold of my heart
A celebration that takes me along
ஏய் நீயும் நானும் சேர்கையில்
ஏதோ மாயம் நேர்கையில்
கடவுள் மேல் கொண்ட ஐயமும்
தீர்கையில்…
Hey when you and I come together
When some magic occurs
Even the doubts I held about God
Are cleared away...
குஷி… உனை கரம்பிடித்தால்
குஷி…உன் பார்வை எனில் பதிந்தால்
குஷி.. உனதருகிருந்தால்
குஷி.. நீ என் காதல் தீவானால்
Joy... if I hold your hand
Joy... if your gaze falls upon me
Joy... if I am near you
Joy... if you become my island of love
எனை நீ பார்கையில்
அரை பித்தாகி போகிறேன்..
உனை நான் பார்கையில்
முழு பித்தாக ஆகிறேன்..
When you look at me
I turn half mad..
When I look at you
I go completely mad..
முகம் பூங்காேதையா
அணைப்பே எந்தன் ஆடையா
முகீர் பந்தாடவே
விடை தான் எந்தன் வேடையா
Is your face a screwpine flower?
Is your embrace my clothing?
To play ball with the clouds
Is my hunt the answer?
பிரியா கனவாய்..
என் கண்ணில் நிறைவாயா..
மண்மேல் வானாய்
மழை தீண்டலை தருவாயா
As an inseparable dream...
Will you fill my eyes?...
Like the sky resting upon the earth
Will you give me the gentle touch of rain?
ஏய் காதலி காதலி
விண்ணை விழுங்கும் விழி
என்னையும் விழுங்கிடும் விழா
ஏய் முட்டியே சாய்த்தொரு
காதலாடிடும் விழா
Hey my beloved, my beloved
With eyes that swallow the sky
A celebration that swallows me too
Hey, a festival that bumps into me and tilts me over
A celebration that plays with love
ஏய் நீயும் நானும் சேர்கையில்

கடவுள் மேல் கொண்ட ஐயமும்
