நேசம் புது நேசம் இது
நெஞ்சில் புது வதனம் இது
புனித உறவிது
எந்தன் பாதை மாறுது
This is a new affection, a brand new love
This is a new face in my heart
This is a sacred relationship
My path is changing now
காதல் வழி காதல் வழி
கால்கள் இனி செல்லும் அடி
எனது கண்ணுக்கு
உந்தன் கனவு தாவுது
Along the path of love, the path of love
My feet will walk hereafter, my dear
To my eyes
Your dream leaps over
இவன் இளமை மீது
இறகு போல நடந்து போனவள்
இன்று மனது ஓய்ந்த கடவுளாக
மடியில் சாய்ந்தனள்
இந்த உலகினை மறந்தவள்
உயிரில் விழுந்தவள்
Over his youthfulness
She who walked like a feather
Today, like a tired deity
She leaned onto his lap
She who forgot this world
She who fell into my soul
நேசம் புது நேசம் இது
நெஞ்சில் புது வதனம் இது
புனித உறவிது
எந்தன் பாதை மாறுது
This is a new affection, a brand new love
This is a new face in my heart
This is a sacred relationship
My path is changing now
சிறிய கோப்பை பெருங்கடல்
நிரப்பலாகுமா
நூறு கோடி நினைவுகள்
இதயம் தாங்குமா
Can a small cup
Fill up a giant ocean?
A billion memories
Can the heart sustain them?
மூன்று காலம் துறந்து நீ
உறங்கி கொள்ளம்மா
மரணம் அற்ற ஒரு மொழி
மௌனம் தானம்மா
Renouncing all three periods of time
Sleep peacefully, my dear
A language that knows no death
Is silence indeed, my dear
உந்தன் இதழில்
உறைந்த கவிதை
தினம் படித்து பார்க்கிறேன்
சின்ன விழியில் புதைந்த விருப்பம்
அதை புரிந்து கொள்கிறேன்
The poem frozen upon your lips
I read and gaze at it every day
The desire buried in your tiny eyes
I understand that completely
இந்த கலக்கம்
நம்மை கடக்கும்
இரவும் பகலும் இனிக்கும்
This turbulence
Will pass us by
Both day and night will turn sweet
நேசம் புது நேசம் இது
நெஞ்சில் புது வதனம் இது
புனித உறவிது
எந்தன் பாதை மாறுது
This is a new affection, a brand new love
This is a new face in my heart
This is a sacred relationship
My path is changing now
நாளை உனது குறுநகை
மீண்டும் தோன்றுமே
நின்று போன குறும்புகள்
நிகழ தொடங்குமே
Tomorrow your soft smile
Will reappear once again
The playful pranks that had stopped
Will begin to happen again
அருவி போல அவிழுவாய்
வாழ்வு நனையுமே
நிலவு நீயும் விலகிட்டாள்
வானம் உதிருமே
You will unfurl like a waterfall
Life will get drenched in joy
If you, the moon, move away
The sky will crumble down
இந்த கருவி யுகத்தை கடந்து
ஒரு கருணை வளர்க்கலாம்
அடி உணர்வு நிலையில் இருந்து
புது காதல் வார்க்கலாம்
Beyond this age of machines
We can nurture compassion
From the realm of pure emotion
We can mold a new love
சிறு மயக்கம்
மெல்ல தெளியும்
கவலை முகில்கள் களையும்
A slight dizziness
Will slowly clear away
The clouds of worry will disperse
நேசம் புது நேசம் இது
நெஞ்சில் புது வதனம் இது
புனித உறவிது
எந்தன் பாதை மாறுது
This is a new affection, a brand new love
This is a new face in my heart
This is a sacred relationship
My path is changing now
காதல் வழி காதல் வழி
கால்கள் இனி செல்லும் அடி
எனது கண்ணுக்கு
உந்தன் கனவு தாவுது
Along the path of love, the path of love
My feet will walk hereafter, my dear

இறகு போல நடந்து போனவள்
இன்று மனது ஓய்ந்த கடவுளாக
மடியில் சாய்ந்தனள்
இந்த உலகினை மறந்தவள்
உயிரில் விழுந்தவள்
Over his youthfulness
She who walked like a feather
Today, like a tired deity
She leaned onto his lap
She who forgot this world
She who fell into my soul
