கண்ணில் கண் மோதினால்
இலட்சம் மின்னல் பூ பூக்கும்
நெஞ்சில் ஓர் வானவில்
எட்டி எட்டி தான் பார்க்கும்
When eyes collide with eyes
A hundred thousand lightning flowers blossom
A rainbow inside the heart
Peeks out again and again to look
உள்ளே தீராமலே
கைகள் கோர்க்கும் நாள் கேட்கும்
மீசையினில் உன் வாசம்
என்னைத் தொலைத்தேனே
Endlessly inside
It asks for the day our hands will entwine
Your fragrance remains on my mustache
I have lost myself completely
புதிரே என் புதிரே
புரியாமல் உயிராய் ஆனாயே
கதிரே வெண் கதிரே
அதிகாலை இரவில் தந்தாயே
Oh riddle, my riddle
Without being understood, you became my soul
Oh ray of light, white ray
You gave me early morning in the middle of the night
தொட்டிலையும் ஆட்டி விட்டு
கிள்ளி விட்டு செல்லாதே
தீண்டும் விரல் தூண்டும் போது
தள்ளி என்னை கொல்லாதே
After rocking the cradle
Do not pinch me and leave
When the touching finger provokes me
Do not kill me by pushing me away
நருவீ நருவீ இழுதாலே
இதயம் உருவி ஓடிடுதே…
அருவி அருவி குழலோடு
மனதும் படகாய் ஆகிடுதே
Oh aromatic vine, as you pull me...
My heart slips out and runs away...
Along with the waterfall-like hair
My heart sways like a boat
மிதமாய் மிதமாய்
உயிரும் அதிரும் கேளடி நீ
இதமாய் இதமாய்
வலிகள் புலரும்
Gently, gently
Listen, even my soul trembles
Pleasantly, pleasantly
All the pains melt into dawn
மார்கழி பூ
என்னுள்ளே பூத்ததேனோ
தேடினேன பதிலின்றி நானும்
தொலைந்ததேனோ
The flower of the Markazhi season
Why did it bloom inside me?
I searched for an answer in vain
Why did I get lost as well?
காற்றிலே ஏதோ வாசம்
உன் திசை பார்க்கிறேன்
வார்த்தைகள் ஏதுமின்றி
தோற்கிறேன்
There is a sweet fragrance in the breeze
I look in your direction
Without any words left to say
I am completely defeated
நான் இலையென உதிர
நீ கரையினில் பதற
நீர் துளிகளும் சிதற
தூரங்கள் வேண்டாமே
As I fall like a leaf
As you flutter on the shore
As water droplets scatter around
We do not need any distance between us
பூ இடையினில் பதமாய்
நான் விரல்களால் எழுதிடவா
ஏன் இடைவெளி அழகே
வாலிப தீயினை சேர்த்து அணைப்போம்
Gently on your flower-like waist
Shall I write with my fingers?
Why this distance, my beauty?
Let us embrace and unite the fire of youth
நருவீ நருவீ இழுதாலே
இதயம் உருவி ஓடிடுதே…
அருவி அருவி குழலோடு
மனதும் படகாய் ஆகிடுதே
Oh aromatic vine, as you pull me...
My heart slips out and runs away...
Along with the waterfall-like hair
My heart sways like a boat
மிதமாய் மிதமாய்
உயிரும் அதிரும் கேளடி நீ
இதமாய் இதமாய்
வலிகள் புலரும்
Gently, gently
Listen, even my soul trembles
Pleasantly, pleasantly
All the pains melt into dawn
புதிரே என் புதிரே
புரியாமல் உயிராய் ஆனாயே
கதிரே வெண் கதிரே
அதிகாலை இரவில் தந்தாயே
Oh riddle, my riddle
Male: Without being understood, you became my soul
Female: Oh ray of light, white ray
Male: You gave me early morning in the middle of the night
புதிரே என் புதிரே
புரியாமல் உயிராய் ஆனாயே
கதிரே வெண் கதிரே
அதிகாலை இரவில் தந்தாயே
