ஓ அழகே ஓ அழகே
தொட்டா சிணுங்கி வானே
நீ சிணுங்க நீ சிணுங்க
பொன்னாய் புலருதே
அதில் நெஞ்சம் மலருதே
Oh beauty, oh beauty
O touch-me-not sky
As you shy away, as you shy away
The day dawns like gold
And in that, the heart blossoms
ஓ மனமே ஓ மனமே
மின்னும் பனியின் கீழே
போயி ஒழிய போயி ஒழிய
கொஞ்சம் ஏங்குதே
அதில் தஞ்சம் தேடுதே
Oh mind, oh mind
Beneath the glittering dew
To go and hide, to go and hide
It yearns a little
And seeks refuge in it
அடங்காத காற்றே ...(4)
O untamed wind
O untamed wind
O untamed wind
O untamed wind
தூர அலைகள் காலை நனைக்கும்
மாய நதி இது
மேகம் தணிந்து வாசல் தெளிக்கும்
தூய மழை இது
விழாக்கள் தோறும் ஓரமாக
நின்று பார்க்க நேரும்
நிலாக்கள் இன்றி வானம் கூட
மெளனமாக மாறும்
Distant waves that wet the feet
This is a magical river
The clouds settle down and sprinkle the doorway
This is pure rain
Beside all the glowing lamps
One stands and witnesses
Without standing on solid ground, even the sky
Turns into silence
ஒரு வீடு பரிவோடு
வரவேற்க நீளும் போது
அதனோடு உரையாடு
அது போல் ஒரு வரம் ஏது
When a home with affection
Reaches out to welcome you
Converse with it
What greater blessing could there be?
அடங்காத காற்றே ...(4)
O untamed wind
O untamed wind
O untamed wind
O untamed wind
ஓ அழகே ஓ அழகே
தொட்டா சிணுங்கி வானே
நீ சிணுங்க நீ சிணுங்க
பொன்னாய் புலருதே
அதில் நெஞ்சம் மலருதே
Oh beauty, oh beauty
O touch-me-not sky
As you shy away, as you shy away
The day dawns like gold
And in that, the heart blossoms
காற்றின் குமிழி போல
உடைந்து போகும் மகிழ்வினை
போற்றி வளர்த்து போற்றி வளர்த்து
காக்கும் ஒருவனை
துழாவி தேடி கண்ணின் முன்பு
கொண்டு காட்டும் காலம்
Like a bubble of air
Happiness that shatters easily
To treasure and nurture, to treasure and nurture
A person who protects it
Rummaging and searching, before your eyes
Time brings and reveals him
It does not happen even in dreams
This miracle that has transpired
Who is he? Will he touch?
Is he a distant horizon line?
Is he a street chariot or a piece of history?
Or an enigmatic subtle smile?
கனாவில் கூட நேர்ந்ததில்லை
நேர்ந்ததிந்த மாயம்
அவன் யாரோ தொடுவானோ
தொலை தூர கோடு தானோ
வழி தேரோ வரலாறோ
புரியா குறுநகை தானோ
Oh beauty, oh beauty
O touch-me-not sky
As you shy away, as you shy away
The day dawns like gold
ஓ அழகே ஓ அழகே
தொட்டா சிணுங்கி வானே
நீ சிணுங்க நீ சிணுங்க
பொன்னாய் புலருதே
Oh mind, oh mind
Beneath the glittering dew
To go and hide, to go and hide
It yearns a little
And seeks refuge in it
ஓ மனமே ஓ மனமே
