நூறாய் யுகம் நூறாய்
உனக்காய் பிறப்பேன்
கண்ணின் இமைப் போல
துணையாய் இருப்பேன்
For hundreds of ages and ages,
I will be born for you.
Like the eyelid of an eye,
I will be your companion.
ஈடாய் உனக்கு ஈடாய்
எனை நான் கொடுப்பேன்
ஏதும் உனக்கு என்றால்
உயிரால் தடுப்பேன்
As an equal return, equal to you,
I will give myself to you.
If anything happens to you,
I will block it with my life.
நீ கடவுளின் பரிசென
கரங்களில் வர
தவம் என்ன புரிந்தேன்
உனை இங்கு பெற
வரமென கிடைத்தவள்
உனக்கென்ன தர
உடலுக்குள் இறங்கிடு
உயிரினை பெற
That you came as God's gift
into my hands,
what penance did I perform
to obtain you here?
She who was received as a boon,
what shall I give to you?
Step inside my body
to take my life force.
நூறாய் யுகம் நூறாய்
உனக்காய் பிறப்பேன்
கண்ணின் இமைப் போல
துணையாய் இருப்பேன்
For hundreds of ages and ages,
I will be born for you.
Like the eyelid of an eye,
I will be your companion.
பள்ளம் சேரும் வெள்ளம் போலே
உனை நினைத்திடுவேன் ...தோழி
செல்லம் கொஞ்சும் உந்தன் திமிரை
கட்டி அணைத்திடுவேன்
Like floodwater reaching the lowlands,
I will think of you, my friend…
Your affectionate arrogance,
I will embrace tight.
உள்ளத்தாலும் உடலின் மீதும்
உனை சுமந்திடுவேன்..தோழா
உலகம் அழியும் போதோ நானோ
உன்னை நினைத்திடுவேன்
In the depths of my soul and upon this body,
I will carry you, my friend…
Even if the world perishes,
I will think of you.
இதயத்தின் மைய பகுதியில்
இருக்கை விரித்து அமர்ந்தாய்
உலகத்தின் மொத்த மகிழ்ச்சியும்
ஒருத்தி வடிவில் கொடுத்தாய்
In the central realm of my heart,
you spread out a seat and sat down.
The entire happiness of the world,
you gave in the form of a single woman…

உன்ஷன் மடியில் நிரந்தரமாக
எனக்கு எடம் கொடுத்தாய்..தோழி
தெய்வம் வந்து நின்றால் கூட
திரும்பிட மறுத்தேன்
Permanently on your lap,
you gave me a place, my friend…
Even if God comes and stands before me,
I refused to turn back.
உனக்கு மட்டும் தானே
எந்தன் இருதயம் துடிக்கும்..தோழா..
உறங்கும் போதோ எந்தன் உதடோ
உந்தன் பேர் அழைக்கும்
Only for you alone
my heart beats, my friend…
Even while sleeping, my lips
will call out your name.
உனக்குள்ளே எனை புதைப்பதால்
திரும்ப திரும்பி பிறப்பேன்
வழி துணை நே இருப்பதால்
இறுதி வரைக்கும் நடப்பேன்
Because I bury myself within you,
I will be reborn again and again.
Because you are my companion along the path,
I will walk until the very end.
நூறாய் யுகம் நூறாய்
