ஒரு தேவதை
வந்து விட்டாள் உன்னை
தேடியே வண்ண மாலைகள்
சூட வந்தாள் தங்க தேரிலே
An angel has arrived
In search of you
She came to adorn colorful garlands
In a golden chariot
ஒரு தேவதை
வந்து விட்டாள் என்னை
தேடியே வண்ண மாலைகள்
சூட வந்தாள் தங்க தேரிலே
An angel has arrived
In search of me
She came to adorn colorful garlands
In a golden chariot
நூறு நூறு
ஜென்மம் வாழ்ந்திருக்க
நூலில் பூவை போல
சேர்ந்திருக்க தீபம் ஏற்றி
வைத்து தேரிழுக்க சேலை
சோலை கொண்டு சேர்ந்தணைக்க
புன்னகையில் பூ பறிக்க
To live together for hundreds of lifetimes
To be joined together like flowers on a thread
To light a lamp and pull the temple chariot
To embrace warmly with a garden of sarees
To pluck flowers through a smile
ஒரு தேவதை
வந்து விட்டாள் என்னை
தேடியே வண்ண மாலைகள்
சூட வந்தாள் தங்க தேரிலே
An angel has arrived
In search of me
She came to adorn colorful garlands
In a golden chariot
பூக்கும் செடியை
எல்லாம் சிரிக்கும் பூவை
எல்லாம் உன் பெயரை
கேட்டிருந்தேன்
From every flowering plant
From every smiling flower
I was asking for your name
எட்டு திசையும்
சேர்த்து ஒற்றை திசையை
மாற்றி உன் வரவை
பார்த்திருந்தேன்
Combining all eight directions
Turning them into a single direction
I was watching out for your arrival
கண்ணுக்குள்
கண்ணுக்குள் உந்தன்
பிம்பம் நெஞ்சுக்குள்
நெஞ்சுக்குள் உந்தன்
சந்தம்
Inside my eyes, inside my eyes is your reflection
Inside my heart, inside my heart is your rhythm
உள்ளத்தை
உள்ளத்தை அள்ளி
தந்தேன் உன்னிடம்
உன்னிடம் என்னை
தந்தேன்
I gave away my entire heart generously
I gave myself completely to you
என் நிழலில்
நீ நடக்க என் உயிரில்
உன்னை வைத்தேன்
For you to walk in my shadow
I placed you within my life force
ஒரு தேவதை
வந்து விட்டாள் என்னை
தேடியே வண்ண மாலைகள்
சூட வந்தாள் தங்க தேரிலே
An angel has arrived
In search of me
She came to adorn colorful garlands
In a golden chariot
.......................
Aaaa aaaa aaa aha
Aaaha haaa aaah
ரோஜா செடிகள்
நட்டு உயிரை நீராய்
விட்டு கூந்தலுக்கு
பூ வளர்ப்பேன்
Planting rose bushes
Pouring my life force like water
I will grow flowers for your hair
வெட்கம் வீசும்
ரோஜா வெளியில் வரும்
நேரத்தில் வெயிலுக்கு
தடை விதிப்பேன்
When the blushing rose
Steps out into the open
I will place a ban on the sunlight
அன்பே உன்
பாதங்கள் நோகும் என்று
அங்கங்கே பூவாலே பாதை
செய்வேன் கண்ணே உன்
வாசத்தில் நான் இருக்க
காற்றிடம் யோசனை
கேட்டு வைப்பேன்
My love, fearing your feet might hurt
Here and there, I will make a pathway of flowers
My darling, so that I can live in your fragrance
I will ask the wind for its advice
என் நிழலில்
நீ நடக்க என் உயிரில்
உன்னை வைத்தேன்
For you to walk in my shadow
I placed you within my life force
ஒரு தேவதை
வந்து விட்டாள் உன்னை
தேடியே வண்ண மாலைகள்
சூட வந்தாள் தங்க தேரிலே
An angel has arrived
In search of you
She came to adorn colorful garlands
In a golden chariot
நூறு நூறு
ஜென்மம் வாழ்ந்திருக்க
