புத்தம் புது
மலரே என் ஆசை
சொல்லவா
O brand new flower,
Shall I express my desire?
புத்தம் புது
மலரே என் ஆசை
சொல்லவா பொத்தி
வைத்து மறைத்தேன்
என் பாஷை சொல்லவா
O brand new flower,
Shall I express my desire?
I concealed and hid it away,
Shall I speak my language of love?
இதயம் திறந்து
கேட்கிறேன் என்னதான்
தருவாய் பார்க்கிறேன்
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே என்னென்னமோ
நினைத்தேன் நித்தம் நித்தம்
கற்பனைகள் வளர்த்தேன்
தவித்தேன்
I ask you with an open heart,
I am waiting to see what you will give me.
I thought so many things inside my heart,
Every day, daily fantasies,
I nurtured... and suffered in longing.
புத்தம் புது
மலரே என் ஆசை
சொல்லவா
O brand new flower,
Shall I express my desire?
செல்லக் கிளி
என்னை குளிப்பிக்க
வேண்டும் சேலைத்
தலைப்பில் துவட்டிட
வேண்டும்
My sweet darling,
You should bathe me,
With the end of your saree,
You should dry me off.
கல்லு சிலை
போலே நீ நிற்க
வேண்டும் கண்கள்
பார்த்துத் தலைவார
வேண்டும்
Like a stone statue,
You should stand still,
Looking into your eyes,
I should comb your hair.
நீ வந்து இலை
போட வேண்டும் நான்
வந்து பரிமாற வேண்டும்
You should come,
And lay out the leaf for dining,
I should come,
And serve the food.
என் இமை
உன் விழி மூட வேண்டும்
இருவரும் ஒரு சுவரம்
பாட வேண்டும் உன்னில்
என்னைத் தேட வேண்டும்
My eyelids should cover
Your eyes,
Both of us should compose
A single musical tune,
I must search for myself inside you.
புத்தம் புது
மலரே என் ஆசை
சொல்லவா
O brand new flower,
Shall I express my desire?
கன்னி உந்தன்
மடி சாய வேண்டும்
கம்பன் வரிகள் நீ
சொல்ல வேண்டும்
This maiden wants to
Lean on your lap,
Lines composed by Kamban,
You should recite to me.
உன்னைக்
கட்டிக்கொண்டு தூங்க
வேண்டும் உந்தன் விரல்
தலை கோதிட வேண்டும்
Hugging you tightly,
I want to sleep,
Your fingers
Should stroke through my hair.
கண்ணோடு
இதம் காண வேண்டும்
கண்ணீரில் குளிர் காய
வேண்டும்
Pleasantness through the eyes,
We should experience,
In tears, warmth,
We should bask in.
உதட்டுக்கும்
உதட்டுக்கும் தூரம்
வேண்டும் உயிருக்குள்
உயிருக்குள் சென்று சேர
வேண்டும் தாயாய் சேயாய்
மாற வேண்டும்
Between lip and lip,
Distance is needed,
Deep within each other's soul,
We should merge together,
We should transform into mother and child.
