மாயா! மா மலரே!
மாயம் காட்டும் பேரழகே!
மாயா! மா மலரே!
மார்பில் பெருகும் பேருயிரே!
Maaya! Great flower!
O immense beauty displaying magical illusions!
Maaya! Great flower!
O great soul welling up inside the chest!
பார்வை உனை பார்த்ததும்
வாழ்க்கை எனைப் பார்த்ததே!
நேற்றின் நிழல் நாளையில்
தலை சாய்த்து தூங்க வருதே!
இது மௌனம் புலரும் நிமிஷம்..
The moment my eyes looked at you,
Life itself turned to look at me!
Yesterday's shadow into tomorrow...
Comes leaning its head to sleep.
This is the moment when silence dawns.
மாயா! மா மலரே!
மாயம் காட்டும் பேருயிரே!
மாயா! மா மலரே!
மார்பில் பெருகும் பேருயிரே!
Maaya! Great flower!
O immense beauty displaying magical illusions!
Maaya! Great flower!
O great soul welling up inside the chest!
நான் நானா?
பேருணர்வில் பூத்து உறைந்தேன்
எல்லாம் உனதா?
உயிரைக் கிள்ளி கொடுப்பேன்
வெளிச்சமே உன்னை ஏந்தினேன்
இருலில்லா ஊன் ஆகிறேன்
Am I still myself?
I bloomed and froze in intense emotion.
Is everything yours?
I will pinch off pieces of my soul to give you.
O light itself, I held you close.
I am becoming flesh without any darkness.
பார்க்கவே உனை பார்க்கவே
ஈரெழு பிறவி எடுப்பேன்
உனத்தருகில் கரைந்து கிடப்பேன்
தினமும் மலர்ந்து மலர்ந்து சிலிப்பேன்
Just to see you, only to look at you,
I would take fourteen lifetimes.
I will lie melted by your side.
Every day I will bloom again and again with thrills.
மாயா! மா மலரே!
மாயம் காட்டும் பேரழகே!
மாயா! மா மலரே!
மார்பில் பெருகும் பேருயிரே!
Maaya! Great flower!
O immense beauty displaying magical illusions!
Maaya! Great flower!
O great soul welling up inside the chest!
Maayaa! maa malarae!

Maayam kaattum perazhagae!
O immense beauty displaying magical illusions!

O great soul welling up inside the chest!
Paarvai unai paarththathum
The moment my eyes looked at you,
Vaazhkkai enai paarththathae!
Life itself turned to look at me!
Netrin nizhal naalaiyil
Yesterday's shadow into tomorrow...
Thalai saaiththu thoonga varuthae
Comes leaning its head to sleep.

This is the moment when silence dawns.
Maayaa! maa malarae!

Paarkkavae unai paarkkavae
Just to see you, only to look at you,
Eerezhu piravi eduppaen

Poetic devices
Monaif (Alliteration / Initial Rhyme)
“Maayaa! maa malarae! / Maayam kaattum perazhagae!”
Repetition of the initial 'M' sound in 'Maayaa', 'maa', 'malarae', and 'Maayam' creates a melodic, rhythmic hook.
Ezhukai (Second-letter Rhyme)
“Netrin nizhal naalaiyil / Thalai saaiththu thoonga varuthae”
Rhyming of the second syllable 'tr' in 'Netrin' and 'th' in 'Thalai' creates traditional Tamil prosodic assonance across the couplet.
Metaphor (Uruvagaim)
“Velichchamae unnai yendhinaen”
Comparing the beloved directly to a great flower ('maa malarae') and light ('Velichchamae').
Repetition (Adukkuthodar)
“Dhinamum malarnthu malarnthu silirppaen”
Repetition of 'malarnthu malarnthu' (blooming and blooming) emphasizes continuous emotional renewal and joy.
