மாயா மாமலரே
மாயம் காட்டும் பேரழகே
மாயா மாமலரே
மார்பினில் பிறக்கும் பேருயிரே
O mystical, magnificent flower,
O grand beauty who weaves magical spells,
O mystical, magnificent flower,
O supreme life born within my chest,
பார்வை உனை பார்த்ததும்
வாழ்க்கை எனை பார்த்தே
நேற்றின் நிழல் நாளையின்
தலை சாய்த்த தூங்க வருதே
இது மெளனம் புலரும் நிமிஷம்
The moment my eyes gazed upon you,
Life itself looked back at me,
The shadow of yesterday,
Comes to rest its head and sleep in tomorrow,
This is the moment when silence dawns,
மாயா மாமலரே
மார்பினில் பிறக்கும் பேருயிரே
O mystical, magnificent flower,
O supreme soul who displays magic,
நான் நானா பேர் உணர்வில்
பூத்து உறைந்தேன்
எல்லாம் உனதா
உயிரை கிள்ளி கொடுப்பேன்
In a profound feeling of becoming my true self,
I bloomed and stood frozen,
Is everything yours now?
I would pluck my own life and give it to you,
வெளிச்சமே உன்னை ஏந்தினேன்
இருளெல்லாம் ஊனாகிறேன்
O pure light, I embraced you,
I am becoming a body without darkness,
பார்க்கவே உனை பார்க்கவே
ஏழேழு பிறவி எடுப்பேன்
உனதருகில் கரைந்து கிடப்பேன்
நிதமும் மலர்ந்து மலர்ந்து சிரிப்பேன்
Just to see you, to behold you,
I shall take birth across seven lifetimes,
I will remain dissolved by your side,
I will blossom and smile every single day,
மாயா மாமலரே
மாயம் காட்டும் பேரழகே
மாயா மாமலரே
மார்பினில் பிறக்கும் பேருயிரே
O mystical, magnificent flower,
O grand beauty who weaves magical spells,
