Aaahhh..aaahhh…
மயங்கினேன்
சொல்லத் தயங்கினேன்
உன்னை விரும்பினேன்
உயிரே தினம் தினம்
உந்தன் தரிசனம் பெறத்
தவிக்குதே மனமே இங்கு
நீயில்லாது வாழும்
வாழ்வுதான் ஏனோ
I was mesmerized, I hesitated to speak
I loved you, my life
To catch a glimpse of you every single day
My heart yearns deeply
Why is this life lived here without you?
மயங்கினேன்
சொல்லத் தயங்கினேன்
உன்னை விரும்பினேன்
உயிரே தினம் தினம்
உந்தன் தரிசனம் பெறத்
தவிக்குதே மனமே இங்கு

I loved you, my life
To catch a glimpse of you every single day
It yearns deeply..
உறக்கமில்லாமல்
அன்பே நான் ஏங்கும் ஏக்கம்
போதும் இரக்கமில்லாமல்
என்னை நீ வாட்டலாமோ
நாளும் வாடைக்காலமும்
நீ வந்தால் வசந்தமாகலாம்
கொதித்திருக்கும் கோடைக்காலமும்
நீ வந்தால் குளிர்ச்சி காணலாம்
Without sleep
My love, the longing I feel is enough
Without mercy
Should you torment me every day?
Even the chilling winter season
Can turn into spring if you arrive
And even the scorching summer season
Can feel soothingly cool if you arrive
எந்நாளும்
தனிமையே எனது
நிலைமையா தந்த
கவிதையா கதையா
Is loneliness my permanent condition forever?
Is this a poem or a story given to me?
இரு கண்ணும்
என் நெஞ்சும்
Both my eyes and my heart
இரு கண்ணும்
நெஞ்சும் நீரிலாடுமோ
Will both my eyes and heart bathe in tears?..

ஒரு பொழுதேனும்
உன்னோடு சேர்ந்து வாழணும்
உயிர் பிரிந்தாலும் அன்பே உன்
மார்பில் சாயணும்
Even for a single moment
I want to live united with you
Even if life departs from me
My love, I want to rest upon your chest
மாலை மங்கலம்
கொண்டாடும் வேளை
வாய்க்குமோ
The auspicious wedding evening
Will the time to celebrate it ever arrive?
மணவறையில்
நீயும் நானும்தான் பூச்சூடும்
நாளும் தோன்றுமோ
With you and me on the wedding dais
Will the day adorned with flowers dawn?
ஒன்றாகும்
பொழுதுதான் இனிய
பொழுதுதான் உந்தன்
உறவுதான் உறவு
The moment we unite is the sweetest moment
Your companionship alone is true relationship
அந்த நாளை
எண்ணி நானும்
Counting down to that day, I too
