போதை கண்ணாலே
பார்த்த நொடி உலகம் உடைக்காதே
பால்வெளியின் ஏதோ புள்ளிக்குள்
என்னை கட்டி இதயம் இழுக்காதே
With intoxicating eyes,
Do not break the world the moment you look.
Inside some tiny point in the Milky Way,
Do not tie me up and drag my heart away.
மிட்டாய் மிட்டாய் தென்றல்
மின்னல் அனுப்பும் மேகம்
சொட்டாய் சொட்டாய் வானம்
தன்னை இழுக்கும் நேரம்
Sweet, sweet gentle breeze,
A cloud that sends down flashes of lightning... hey,
Drop by drop, the sky
Loses itself in this moment... hey.
அவள் வந்தாளே
அனல் தந்தாளே
கணம் நினைத்தாலே
உயிர் நிறைத்தாளே
She came,
She brought heat and fire,
Just a thought of a moment,
Filled my soul completely.
Oh, I became like a peacock,
And I myself became the rain.
அடியோ மயிலானேனே
மழையோ அது நான் தானே
With intoxicating eyes,
Do not break the world the moment you look.
Inside some tiny point in the Milky Way,
Do not tie me up and drag my heart away.
போதை கண்ணாலே
பார்த்த நொடி உலகம் உடைக்காதே
பால்வெளியின் ஏதோ புள்ளிக்குள்
என்னை கட்டி இதயம் இழுக்காதே
I was somewhere far away,
Do not search for me and cause such sweet torment.
I fell into the nectar of grand beauty,
Do not send me anywhere away from you.
எங்கோ இருந்தேனே
தேடி வந்து இம்சை கொடுக்காதே
பேரழகின் தேனில் விழுந்தேனே
உன்னை விட்டு எங்கும் அனுப்பாதே
When I think of you,
Windows open all around me,
A stream-side sparrow inside my room,
All my five senses turn into
Monkeys with their tails cut loose,
Ten million waterfalls inside a cup of foam.
உன்னை நினைத்தால்
என்னை சுற்றி சாளரங்கள்
எந்தன் அறைக்குள் ஓடைக்குருவி
ஐந்து புலனும் வாலறுந்த வானரங்கள்
கோப்பை நுரைக்குள் கோடி அருவி
In an early morning dream,
I became an entire world for your sake.
அதிகாலை கனவொன்றிலே
உனக்காக உலகாக நானே
Upon the sand of the pathway,
Male: Relishing the distance,
Female: Plants that have fallen in love,
Staying at a distance,
Male: Nurturing affection,
Female: Showering blossoms,
Male: Singing and rejoicing,
Female: Admiring the sky,
Female: If you look at the female parrot,
My heart immediately thinks of you.
You did not come merely as a companion,
You became my equal and soulmate so naturally.
போதை கண்ணாலே
பார்த்த நொடி உலகம் உடைக்காதே
பால்வெளியின் ஏதோ புள்ளிக்குள்
என்னை கட்டி இதயம் இழுக்காதே
எங்கோ இருந்தேனே
தேடி வந்து இம்சை கொடுக்காதே
பேரழகின் தேனில் விழுந்தேனே
உன்னை விட்டு எங்கும் அனுப்பாதே
பாதை மணல் மேல்
தூரம் சுவைத்து
காதல் கொண்ட தாவரங்கள்
தள்ளி இருந்தே
அன்பு வளர்ந்து
பூக்கள் தெளிக்கும்
பாடி திளைக்கும்
வானம் ரசிக்கும்
பெண் கிளியைப் பார்த்திருந்தால்
எந்தன் மனமோ உன்னை நினைக்கும்
துணையாக வரவில்லையே
இணையாக இயல்பாக நீயே
போதை கண்ணாலே
பார்த்த நொடி உலகம் உடைக்காதே
பால்வெளியின் ஏதோ புள்ளிக்குள்
என்னை கட்டி இதயம் இழுக்காதே
எங்கோ இருந்தேனே
தேடி வந்து இம்சை கொடுக்காதே
பேரழகின் தேனில் விழுந்தேனே
உன்னை விட்டு எங்கும் அனுப்பாதே
