ஒரு வீட்டில்
நீயும் நானும் ஒன்றாக
வாழும் நேரம் எதிர்பார்த்தே
இருந்தேன் பல காலம் இது
நாள் வரையில் கனவெல்லாம்
இனிதாய் நனவாகும் இரவின்
மடியில்
You and I in the same house...
The time when we live together...
I have been eagerly awaiting this
For a long time until this day...
All dreams will sweetly come true...
In the lap of the night...
ஒரு வீட்டில்
நீயும் நானும் ஒன்றாக
தூங்கும் நேரம் எதிர்பார்த்தே
எழுந்தேன் தினந்தோறும்
முதல் நாள் வரையில்
இனியெல்லாம் முழுதாய்
அரங்கேறும் விரும்பும்
வகையில்
You and I in the same house...
The time when we sleep together...
I woke up in anticipation
Every day, right up until this first day
From now on, everything will unfold completely...
Just the way we desire...
.............................
தினம் தினம்
நான் மயங்குகிறேனே
பகல் எதுவோ இரவெதுவோ
வெளிச்சங்களை மறுப்பதினாலே
நிலவுகளின் சதி இதுவோ
Every single day, I
Am falling spellbound
Is it daytime or night-time?..
Because light is being shut out..
Is this a conspiracy of the moons?..
அறையும் கதவும்
அடைந்தே கிடந்தாய்
இரவும் பகலும் இணையும்
இருளாய்
The room and its doors..
Remained closed shut
Night and day..
Merge into a single darkness..
உனையே
உலகம் என நான்
நினையும் நிலையே
வரமாகும்
With you as my whole world
The state in which I get drenched
Becomes a blessed boon..
ஒரு வீட்டில்
நீயும் நானும் ஒன்றாக
வாழும் நேரம் எதிர்பார்த்தே

.............................
உதடுகளின்
அசைவுகள் என்றாய்
பேச்செனவே அறிந்திருந்தேன்
ஒலிகளில்லா ஒரு வேலை நீ
கொடுத்தாய் தெரிந்து கொண்டேன்
You said movements of lips meant speech..
That is all I had known until now..
Now, a soundless tender duty
You gave me, and I truly understood..
இதுவே குறைவு
இனிமேல் இருக்கு
இனிதாய் தொடரும்
முதல் நாள் கிறுக்கு
Even this feels insufficient
There is so much more ahead..
Will sweetly continue
The craze of the very first day
உடலின்
இசைகள் உயிரின்
கசைகள் மறந்தேன்
பல நாட்கள்
The music of the body
The aches of the soul
I forgot for many days..
ஒரு வீட்டில்
நீயும் நானும் ஒன்றாக
தூங்கும் நேரம் எதிர்பார்த்தே
எழுந்தேன் தினந்தோறும்
