| Male | |
| Lavender neramae | O lavender-hued hour, |
| Nigazhaa nodiyil | In a moment that never occurs, |
| Malarum naano | Am I the one who blossoms? |
| Mugaraa nodiyil | In a moment left unsmelled, |
| Viravum neeyo | Are you the one who diffuses? |
| Female | |
| Lavender nerame | O lavender-hued hour, |
| Nagarum naazhi | The moving measure of time, |
| Kanavin aaazhi | An ocean of dreams, |
| Thuyilaa theevo | Is it an island that never sleeps? |
| Maayathin kaanthame | O magnet of illusion, |
| Minnal undaakkuthe | You create flashes of lightning! |
| Dopamine thooralae | O drizzle of dopamine, |
| Nenjukkkul paayuthe | Surging into my heart! |
| Female | |
| En kannin punnagai | The smile in my eyes, |
| Un paarvai yeikkumo | Will your gaze deceive it? |
| Meiyanbin mounamme | O silence of true love, |
| Nam kaadhal veppamo… | Is this the warmth of our passion? |
| Male | |
| Kaalathai thinnbathe | Devouring time itself, |
| Kaadhalin vaeitkaiyo sol | Is this the intense craving of love? Tell me. |
| Idhayathin negizhnodi naeraadho | Won't the heart's tender moment arrive? |
| Sparisathil uyirkkanal pookkaadho | Won't the spark of life bloom at a touch? |
| Kavidhaigal sollaa valigalile | In the pain unspoken by poetry, |
| Neenthidum uyir vidai kaanadho | Won't the swimming soul find an answer? |
| Female | |
| Lavender pookale | O lavender flowers, |
| En koonthal kaatil maraigiren | I hide in the jungle of my hair. |
| Lavender vaasame | O fragrance of lavender, |
| En thoodhu nee | You are my messenger. |
| Female | |
| Nagarum nizhal ellaam irulil | All moving shadows in the dark, |
| En muga chevappai rasithirukka | Have admired the blush on my face. |
| Jannalil thodarum pirainilavum | And the crescent moon following through the window, |
| Namm nilai kandae sirithirukka | Has smiled upon seeing our state. |

லாவெண்டர் நேரமே
நீகழா நொடியில்
மலரும் நான்
முகரா நொடியில்
விரவும் நீயோ
O lavender-hued hour,
In a moment that never occurs,
Am I the one who blossoms?
In a moment left unsmelled,
Are you the one who diffuses?
லாவெண்டர் நேரமே
நகரும் நாழி
கனவின் ஆழி
துயிலா தீவோ
மாயத்தின் காந்தமே
மின்னல் உண்டாக்குதே
டோபமின் தூறலே
நெஞ்சுக்குள் பாயுதே
O lavender-hued hour,
The moving measure of time,
An ocean of dreams,
Is it an island that never sleeps?
O magnet of illusion,
You create flashes of lightning!
O drizzle of dopamine,
Surging into my heart!
ஓ.. ஆழ்நிலையில்
ஒரு போர் நிகழும்
இரவோ இரவோ இரவோ,
இது காதலின் துறவே
எரி நிலையோ
காதல் மிகும் பொழுதோ
The smile in my eyes,
Will your gaze deceive it?
O silence of true love,
Is this the warmth of our passion?
லாவெண்டர் பூக்களே
பாதைகள் நீலுமோ
சொல்லாத காதல் மேல்,
செவ்வானம் மோதுமோ
Devouring time itself,
Is this the intense craving of love? Tell me.
Won't the heart's tender moment arrive?
Won't the spark of life bloom at a touch?
In the pain unspoken by poetry,
Won't the swimming soul find an answer?
என் கண்ணின் புன்னகையே
உன் பார்வை ஏய்க்குமோ
மே அன்பின்மௌனமே
நம் காதல் வெப்பமோ
O lavender flowers,
I hide in the jungle of my hair.
O fragrance of lavender,
You are my messenger.
காலத்தை திண்பதே
காதலின் வேட்க்கையோ சொல்
இதயத்தின் நெகிழ் நொடி நேராதோ
ஸ்பரிசத்தில் உயிர்கனல் பூக்காதோ
கவிதைகள் சொல்லா வழிகளிலே
நீந்திடும் உயிர் விடை காணாதோ
All moving shadows in the dark,
Have admired the blush on my face.
And the crescent moon following through the window,
Has smiled upon seeing our state.
Is this a journey of riddles?
லாவெண்டர் பூக்களே
என் கூந்தல் காட்டில் மறைகிறேன்
லாவெண்டர் வாசமே
என் தூது நீ
Oh, madness rushes to my head, scattering my thoughts!
I screamed without making a sound,
Will this silence that negotiates never end, O girl?
நகரும் நிழல்கள் எல்லாம் இருளில்
என் முகச்சிவப்பை ரசித்திருக்க
ஜன்னலில் தொடரும் பிறை நிலவும்
நம் நிலை கண்டே சிரித்திருக்க
புதிர் பயணம் தானோ
பெண் குழு :
தத்தை தமிழ் தவிப்பில்
சிறையாகிட
சித்தம் தினருகிறேன் தனலாகி
கொதித்தேன் நான் ஆணேன் ஆணே
ஓ ஓ பித்தம் தலைக்கேறி
சிதறுகிறேன்
சத்தம் தெறிக்காமல் கதறினேன்
தர்க்கம் செய் மௌனம் தீராதோ... பெண்ணே.
இது காதல் என்றால் பொய்யா
அது இல்லை என்றால் மெய்யா
இந்த காதல் விடுகதை வேர்சொல்
லாவெண்டர் காலமே
இனியவை சொல்வாயோ
இசை இன்னும் சேர்ப்பாயோ
இருக்கங்களே இளகிடுமோ
முனங்கல் :
...............
