நான் வரைகிற வானம்
கை தொடுகிற தூரம்
ஓர் பறவையாய் நானும்
வான் உரசிட வேணும்
The sky that I draw
Is within arm's reach
As a bird, I too
Want to brush against the sky
மனம் குழந்தையாய்
அடம் பிடிக்குதே!
My mind, like a child
Is throwing a tantrum!
இடைவெளி இல்லாமல்
கனவுகள் துரத்துதே!
கடலலைகள் சொல்லாமல்
என் காலடி உரசுதே!
Without any pause
Dreams keep chasing me!
Without a word, the ocean waves
Brush against my feet!
என் திசை எல்லாம்
வானவில் தோன்றுமோ!
பேர் அழகென
யாவுமே மாறுமோ…!
In all my directions
Will a rainbow appear!
Into magnificent beauty
Will everything transform...!
ஓஓ…மீன்
கண்ணாடி தொட்டிக்குள் தேடும்
ஓர் கடலே வாழ்வா?
Ooo... does a fish
Searching inside a glass bowl
Is an ocean its life?
நகர்கிற நதிகளே!
காதல் தொடும் கண்ணே! கண்ணே!
விரிந்திடும் சிறகுகள்
விண்ணை தொடும் நெஞ்சே! நெஞ்சே!
இருவர் :
நகர்கிற நதிகள் தானே
காதல் தொடும் கண்ணே! கண்ணே!
விரிந்திடும் சிறகுகள்
விண்ணை தொடும் நெஞ்சே! நெஞ்சே!
O moving rivers
Will touch the sea, my dear! My dear!
Wings that spread wide
Will touch the sky, my heart! My heart!
உறவுகள் என்னோடு
உடன் வர நினைக்குதே!
பெரு விரலின் ரேகை’யாய்
உள்ளாசைகள் உறங்குதே!
Relationships with me
Desire to accompany me!
Like the thumbprint lines
Inner desires lie asleep!
இனி துயரமும்
தூரமாய் போகுமோ!
என் பிரியமே
யாவையும் மாற்றுமோ!
From now on, will sorrow
Go far, far away!
Will my affection
Change everything!
வா!
வட்டத்தில் நிற்காத காற்றும்
நான்!
கைகுள்ளே சிக்காத வாசம்
Come!
Wind will not stand trapped inside a circle
I am!
A fragrance that cannot be caught in hands
மீன்
கண்ணாடி தொட்டிக்குள் தேடும்
ஓர் கடலே வாழ்வா?
A fish
Searching inside a glass bowl
Is an ocean its life?
நகர்கிற நதிகளே!
காதல் தொடும் கண்ணே! கண்ணே!
விரிந்திடும் சிறகுகள்
விண்ணை தொடும் நெஞ்சே! நெஞ்சே!
O moving rivers
Will touch the sea, my dear! My dear!
Wings that spread wide
Will touch the sky, my heart! My heart!
