மன்னனே எந்தன் மாயக் கண்ணனே
என்னை உறங்கவிடு
நெஞ்சிலே வந்து சேர துடிக்கிறேன்
உன்னை வழங்கி விடு
உயிரின் உயிரே தழுவிட வா
உறவின் உறவே தனிமையில் நீ வா
Oh king, my magical beloved,
Let me sleep..
I long to come and unite with your heart,
Bestow yourself to me..
Oh soul of my soul,
Come to embrace me,
Oh closest of all relations,
Come to me in solitude.
மன்னனே எந்தன் மாயக் கண்ணனே
என்னை உறங்கவிடு
நெஞ்சிலே வந்து சேர துடிக்கிறேன்
உன்னை வழங்கி விடு
Oh king, my magical beloved,
Let me sleep,
I long to come and unite with your heart,
Bestow yourself to me.
{வாழ்வே என நினைத்தேன்
வரவை எதிர்ப்பார்த்தேன்
வந்தாய் என அறிந்தேன்
வாசல் இழந்தேன்} (2)
{I thought you were my life,
I awaited your arrival,
I realized you had arrived,
I lost my doorway} (2)
விழி இரண்டிலும் பார்வை ஒன்றுதான்
நதி முடிவது கடலில் வந்துதான்
எது தடுப்பினும் உன்னை சேருவேன் நிலா
Though the paths are two, the vision is one,
A river ends only when it reaches the sea,
Whatever obstructs, I will reach you, my moon.
நெஞ்சமே எந்தன் நினைவு நீயடி
கொஞ்சம் அருகினில் வா
ஒன்றிலே ஒன்று கலந்த ஜீவனே
என்னைப் பருகிட வா
Oh my heart, you are my every thought,
Come a little closer,
Oh soul blended into another as one,
Come to drink and savor me.
{கண்ணின் இமை அசைந்து
தென்றல் வரக் கண்டேன்
கனிவாய் மொழி அறிந்து
கவிதை படைத்தேன்} (2)
{As the eyelids fluttered,
I saw the gentle breeze arriving,
Understanding sweet words,
I composed poetry} (2)
மின்னும் பனித்துளி அரும்பும் சிரிப்பிலே
பண்ணும் குறும்புகள் அழைக்கும் வனப்பிலே
வண்ணக் கனவினில் மனதை பறிக்கிறாள்..நிலா
In the smile blooming like a glistening dewdrop,
In the beauty inviting through playful mischief,
The moon steals my heart away in colorful dreams.
நெஞ்சமே எந்தன் நினைவு நீயடி
கொஞ்சம் அருகினில் வா
ஒன்றிலே ஒன்று கலந்த ஜீவனே
என்னைப் பருகிட வா
உயிரின் உயிரே தழுவிட வா
உறவின் உறவே தனிமையில் நீ வா
Oh my heart, you are my every thought,
Come a little closer,
Oh soul blended into another as one,
Come to drink and savor me.
Oh soul of my soul, come to embrace,
Oh closest of all relations, come in solitude.
நெஞ்சமே எந்தன் நினைவு நீயடி

பிறப்பது ஒரு முறை
இறப்பதும் ஒரு முறை
இருக்கின்ற வரையிலும் உன்னோடு என் கதை
இருக்கின்ற வரையிலும் உன்னோடு என் கதை
Being born happens only once,
Dying happens only once,
As long as life remains,
My story is with you,
As long as life remains,
My story is with you...
