மெலியானா
மிடராய் ஒரு பார்வை கண்டேனா
மெலியானா
உணவாய் அதை நானும் உண்டேனா
Delicate
I saw a glance like a sip
Delicate
I consumed it as my food
துணையாய் காதல்
வாழுதே தேடல்
இனிதாய் வலிதாய் புதிதாய்
Love as a companion
The search lives on
Sweetly, painfully, freshly
காதலின் தூணிலே ஆடுதே
ஊஞ்சலாய் போதுமே தோழி
மாபெரும் மெளனமே ஆகுதே
பாஷையாய் பாடுமே லாலி
Like that, the cloud
Transforms into love
The world, comfort, supreme bliss
அரை நீ அரை நான்
ஒரு நாமே ஆயாச்சே
எது நீ எது நான்
அட போயே போயாச்சே
Swinging on the pillar of love
Like a swing, it is enough my friend
A great silence becomes
A language singing a lullaby
காதலின் தூணிலே ஆடுதே
ஊஞ்சலாய் போதுமே தோழி
மாபெரும் மெளனமே ஆகுதே
பாஷையாய் பாடுமே லாலி
You are half, I am half
We have become a single name
Which is you, which is I?
Oh, that distinction is completely gone
ஏகாந்த ரீங்காரம் தாலாற்று போல்
ஆகாய பூபாளம் மாமாங்குதோ
ஏராந்த தீம்பார்வை வா வாங்குதோ
பூம்பாவை நான் நானா
Swinging on the pillar of love
Like a swing, it is enough my friend
A great silence becomes
A language singing a lullaby
மயலாலே
மெதுவாய் அதை வானம் போனேனே
கயலாலே
தனியாய் ஒரு தூறல் ஆனேனே
Solitary humming
Like a lullaby
Is the sky's morning raga echoing?
Does the sweet gaze beckon and take?
Am I really the flower-like maiden?
அதுவாய் மேகம்
காதலாய் மாறும்
இகமே இதமே பரமே
Because of love
Slowly I became the sky
With fish-like eyes
I became a lone drizzle
காதலின் தூணிலே ஆடுதே
ஊஞ்சலாய் போதுமே தோழி
மாபெரும் மெளனமே ஆகுதே
பாஷையாய் பாடுமே லாலி
Like that, the cloud
Transforms into love
The world, comfort, supreme bliss
அரை நீ அரை நான்
ஒரு நாமே ஆயாச்சே
எது நீ எது நான்
அட போயே போயாச்சே
Swinging on the pillar of love
Like a swing, it is enough my friend
A great silence becomes
A language singing a lullaby
காதலின் தூணிலே ஆடுதே
ஊஞ்சலாய் போதுமே தோழி
மாபெரும் மெளனமே ஆகுதே
பாஷையாய் பாடுமே லாலி
You are half, I am half
We have become a single name
Which is you, which is I?
Oh, that distinction is completely gone
Swinging on the pillar of love
