நீ வேண்டும் வேண்டும்
வேண்டும்
நீங்காமல் என்றும் வேண்டும்
I want you, I want you
I want
Male: I want you forever without leaving
நீ வேண்டும் வேண்டும்
வேண்டும்
நீங்காமல் என்றும் வேண்டும்
I want you, I want you
I want
Male: I want you forever without leaving
உன் கவிதை வரியாவும்
என் பெயர்ராகிட வேண்டும்
என் வார்த்தைக்கழகே
உன் பெயரல்லவா என் வாழ்வு நீதானடி
In every line of your poetry
My name should be written
Male: Oh beauty of my words
Isn't your name my life? You are my life, my dear
நீ வேண்டும் வேண்டும்
வேண்டும்
நீங்காமல் என்றும் வேண்டும்
I want you, I want you
I want
Male: I want you forever without leaving
கண்ணுக்கெட்டும் தூரம் வரை
பார்த்து நின்றேன்
என்னை காணவில்லை என்றதுமே
வேர்த்திருப்பாய்
என்னை கண்டதுமே கோபத்திலே
பொங்கி நிற்ப்பாய்
As far as the eye can see
I stood watching
Male: As soon as you realized I wasn't to be seen
You would have broken into a sweat
The moment you saw me, out of anger
You would seethe
காத்திருந்தா வேதனைதான்
என்னவென்பேன்
இன்று என் நிலைமை என்னவென்று
சொல்லிடுவேன்
என் தண்டனைகள் தந்தாலும்
எற்றுகொள்வேன்
The pain of waiting
How can I describe it?
Male: Today, what my condition is
I will tell you
Whatever punishments you give
I will accept them
நீ வேறு அல்ல நான் வேறல்ல
கொல்லாதே என்னை கொல்லாதே
உணக்கீடு உலகில் நான் கண்டதில்லை
வேறொன்றும் சொல்ல தெரியாதே
You are not different, I am not different
Don't kill me, don't kill me
Male: I haven't found an equal to you in this world
I don't know how to say anything else
உடன் இருப்பேன்
பாக்கியமே
உரிமைகள் உன்னோடு
உவமைகள் என்னோடு....
ஹே...ஹே.... ஹே...ஹே.....ஹாய்
I will be with you
Male: What a blessing!
Female: The rights are with you
Male: The metaphors are with me...
Hay..hay...hay..hay..hai
நீ வேண்டும் வேண்டும்
வேண்டும்
நீங்காமல் என்றும் வேண்டும்
I want you, I want you
I want
Male: I want you forever without leaving
எல்லையற்ற வானம் இன்று
கண்டிருந்தேன்
அங்கு எக்கச்சக்க நட்ச்சத்திரம்
சேர்த்து வைப்பேன்
அதன் பக்கத்திலே உன்னை வைத்து
ஸ்டில் எடுப்பேன்
The boundless sky today
I was observing
Male: There, a whole lot of stars
I will gather together
Placing you next to them
I will capture a photo
பெண்
: காலை தென்றல் காற்றோடு
பேசிடுவேன்
அந்த காற்றில் உள்ள ஆக்ஸிஜன்
சேகரித்து
அதில் காதல் என்னும் தேனிக்களை
ஊற வைப்பேன்
With the evening breeze
I will converse
Male: Gathering the oxygen in that breeze
Collecting it
In it, honeybees called love
I will steep inside
என்னை நானும்
அறியாத போது
உன்னைத்தானே அறிந்தேனே
பூமிக்கு வந்த
முதல் நாள் போலே
புதியதாய் இங்கு உணர்ந்தேனே
When even I myself
Did not know who I was
It was you alone I understood
Male: Like coming to Earth
On the very first day
I felt completely newborn here
இது நிஜமா
முழு நிஜமே
நிலவுக்குள் நீரோட்டம்
கவிதைக்கு தேரோட்டம்
ஹே...ஹே.... ஹே...ஹே.....ஹாய்
Is this true?
Male: Entirely true
Female: A flow of water inside the moon
Male: A chariot procession for poetry
Hay..hay...hay..hay..hai
நீ வேண்டும் வேண்டும்
வேண்டும்
நீங்காமல் என்றும்
I want you, I want you
I want
Male: I want you forever without leaving
நீ வேண்டும் வேண்டும்
வேண்டும்
நீங்காமல் என்றும்
I want you, I want you
I want
Male: I want you forever without leaving
உன் கவிதை வரியாவும்
என் பெயராகிட வேண்டும்
என் வார்த்தைக்கழகே
உன் பெயரல்லவா என் வாழ்வு நீதானடி

My name should be written

Isn't your name my life? You are my life, my dear
