பேருந்தில் நீ எனக்கு
ஜன்னல் ஓரம் பின் வாசல்
முற்றத்திலே துளசி மாடம்
You are the window seat for me on a bus journey
The holy basil shrine in the backyard courtyard
பேருந்தில் நீ எனக்கு
ஜன்னல் ஓரம் பின் வாசல்
முற்றத்திலே துளசி மாடம்
You are the window seat for me on a bus journey
The holy basil shrine in the backyard courtyard
விடுமுறை நாட்களில்
பள்ளிக்கூடம் விளையாட்டு
பிள்ளைகளின் செல்ல கோபம்
The empty school on holidays
The sweet, playful anger of playing children
ஆள் இல்லா நல்
இரவில் கேட்கும் பாடல்
அன்பே அன்பே நீயே
A melody heard in the quiet midnight
My love, my love, it is you
பேருந்தில் நீ
எனக்கு ஜன்னல் ஓரம்
பின் வாசல் முற்றத்திலே
துளசி மாடம்
You are the window seat for me on a bus journey
The holy basil shrine in the backyard courtyard
ஹ்ம்ம் பேருந்தில்
நீ எனக்கு ஜன்னல் ஓரம் பின்
வாசல் முற்றத்திலே துளசி
மாடம்
Hmm, you are the window seat for me on a bus journey
The holy basil shrine in the backyard courtyard
பயணத்தில்
வருகிற சிறு தூக்கம்
பருவத்தில் முளைக்கிற
முதல் கூச்சம்
The light nap taken during a journey
The very first shy blush of adolescence
பரீட்சைக்கு
படிக்கிற அதிகாலை
கழுத்தினில் விழுந்திடும்
முதல் மாலை
The early morning study hours before an exam
The first garland placed around the neck
புகை படம் எடுக்கையில்
திணறும் புன்னகை அன்பே
அன்பே நீதானே அடை மழை
நேரத்தில் பருகும் தேநீர் அன்பே
அன்பே நீதானே
The hesitant smile while taking a photograph
My love, my love, is it you?
Hot tea sipped during heavy rain
My love, my love, is it you?
ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்
தினமும் காலையில்
எனது வாசலில் இருக்கும்
நாளிதழ் நீதானே
Hmm mmm, placed at my doorstep every morning
Are you that daily newspaper?
பேருந்தில் நீ
எனக்கு ஜன்னல் ஓரம்
பின் வாசல் முற்றத்திலே
துளசி மாடம்
You are the window seat for me on a bus journey
The holy basil shrine in the backyard courtyard
பேருந்தில் நீ
எனக்கு ஜன்னல் ஓரம்
பின் வாசல் முற்றத்திலே
துளசி மாடம்
You are the window seat for me on a bus journey
The holy basil shrine in the backyard courtyard

தாய் மடி தருகிற
அரவணைப்பு உறங்கிடும்
குழந்தையின் குறுஞ்சிரிப்பு
The comforting warmth offered by a mother's lap
The subtle smile of a sleeping infant
தேய் பிறை போல்
வரும் நக கணுக்கள் வகுப்பறை
மேஜையில் இடும் கிறுக்கல்
The tiny fingernail crescents resembling a waning moon
The playful doodles drawn on a classroom desk
செல் போன் சிணுங்கிட
கூவுகிற கவனம் அன்பே அன்பே
நீதானே பிடித்தவர் தருகிற பரிசு
பொருளும் அன்பே அன்பே நீதானே
The focused attention drawn when a cell phone chimes
My love, my love, is it you?
The gift given by someone loved dearly
My love, my love, is it you?
ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம் எழுதும்
கவிதையில் எழுத்து பிழைகளை
ரசிக்கும் வாசகன் நீ தானே
Hmm mm, the spelling errors in written poetry
Are you that appreciative reader who admires them?
பேருந்தில் நீ எனக்கு
ஜன்னல் ஓரம் பின் வாசல்
முற்றத்திலே துளசி மாடம்
You are the window seat for me on a bus journey
The holy basil shrine in the backyard courtyard
