வானம் பொழியாம
பூமி விளையுமா கூறு...
பூக்கள் மலர்ந்தாலும்
சூடும் அழகில் தான் பேரு....
Without the sky pouring rain,
Tell me, can the earth yield crops?
Even if flowers bloom,
They gain true renown only in the beauty of being worn...
எந்தன் உயிரே
நான் உன்ன பாத்துக்குறேன்
பட்டு துனியா போத்திக்கிறேன்
My life!
I will protect and look after you,
I will wrap you gently like fine silk cloth.
என்னை மெதுவா
ஆளையே மாத்திகிட்டேன்
கொஞ்சம் காதல்
கீதலாம் கூட்டிக்கிட்டேன்
Slowly within myself,
I changed my entire persona.
A little bit of love,
And affection, I gathered together...
ஜோரா நட போட்டு வாடா
என்னோட வீரா...ஆ...
Walk proudly with a majestic gait,
My brave hero...
ஹே ஏ ஏ........
ஃபேர்ரா ஆட்டோல போலாம்
என்னோட மீரா....
[Vocalization]
Let us go together as a pair in an auto,
My beloved Meera...
ஹே ஏ ஏ ஹே ஏய்....
கட்டிலும் ராகம் பாடுதடி
சாஞ்சதும் தூக்கம் மோதுதடி
நிம்மதி உன்னால் வந்ததடி
தேடலும் தானாய் போனதடி
[Vocalization]
Even the bed sings a sweet melody,
As soon as I lean back, sleep overtakes me.
Peace of mind came all because of you,
My endless search ceased on its own.
நெஞ்சிலே உன்ன நான் சுமப்பேன்
விண்ணிலே நித்தம் நான் பறப்பேன்
பூமியே என்ன சுத்துதையா
கண்களும் தானாய் சொக்குதையா
I will carry you deep inside my heart,
I will fly high in the sky every day.
The earth itself seems to spin around me,
My eyes automatically droop in peaceful delight.
விதியை சரி செய்ய
தேடி வந்த தேவதையே
பெண் : புதிதாய் பிறந்தேனே
நன்றி சொல்ல வார்த்தை இல்லை
To set my destiny right,
O angel who came searching for me!
[Female] I am born anew,
There are no words to express my gratitude.
உள்ளம் உருகுதே ராசாத்தி
உள்ளவரை எல்லாம் நீதான் டி
My heart melts, my queen,
As long as I live, you are everything to me.
வானம் பொழியாம
பூமி விளையுமா கூறு...
பூக்கள் மலர்ந்தாலும்
சூடும் அழகில் தான் பேரு....
Without the sky pouring rain,
Tell me, can the earth yield crops?
Even if flowers bloom,
They gain true renown only in the beauty of being worn...
எந்தன் அழகே
நீ எந்தன் சிங்கக்குட்டி
யாரும் உரசா தங்கக்கட்டி
My beautiful one!
You are my brave lion cub,
Pure untouched gold that no one has rubbed.
இந்த மொரட்டு பயகிட்ட
என்ன கண்ட
வந்து வசமா என்கிட்ட
மாட்டிகிட்ட
Near this rugged, tough guy,
What did you see?
You came and completely,
Got captivated in my hands.
