பாசம்

நெருங்கும் பொழுது
தீயை உணர்ந்தேன்
கோவம் கொதிக்கும் எரிமலையோ
விட்டில் பூச்சி போல் எரிகின்றேன்
வாழ்க்கையை வாழவே அன்பே
When getting closer,
I felt the fire.
Is it a volcano boiling with anger?
I am burning like a moth in a flame.
To live this life, my love,
காதல் கடலும்
தீயை தணித்திடுமோ உயிரே
இதயும் இரண்டும் கலந்து
வியந்து ரசித்திடுமோ
Will an ocean of love
Quench this fire, my life?
Will both our hearts blend
And admire in wonder?
