ரகசிய கனவுகள்
ஜல் ஜல் என் இமைகளை
கழுவுது சொல் சொல்
இளமையில் இளமையில்
ஜில் ஜில் என் இருதயம்
நழுவுது செல் செல்
Secret dreams chime 'jal jal'
Washing my eyelids, tell me, tell me
In youth, in youth, cool and chilling 'jil jil'
My heart slips away, go, go
முதல் பிழை
போல் மனதினிலே
விழுந்தது உனதுருவம்
ஓ உதடுகளால் உனை
படிப்பேன் இருந்திடு
அரை நிமிடம் தொலைவது
போல் தொலைவதுதான்
உலகில் உலகில் புனிதம்
Like a first mistake
Your form fell into my heart
{ இறகே இறகே
மயிலிறகே வண்ண
மயிலிறகே வந்து தொடு
அழகே தொட தொட
பொழிகிற சுகம் சுகமே
கண் படப் பட புதிர்களும்
அவிழ்ந்திடுமே } (2)
Oh, I will read you with my lips
Stay still for half a minute
மறுபடி ஒருமுறை
பிறந்தேனே விரல் தொட
புருவமும் சிவந்தேனே
ஓ.. இல்லாத வார்த்தைக்கும்
புரிகின்ற அர்த்தம் நீ சொல்லாத
இடமெங்கும் சுடுகின்ற முத்தம் நீ
Losing oneself, indeed, getting lost like this
Is the most sacred thing in this world
சுடும் தனிமையில்
உணர்கிற மரநிழல் போல
எனை சூட நரம்புகளோடு
குறும்புகள் நாளும் எழுதிய
கணக்கு எனதிரு கைகள்
தழுவிட நீங்கும் இருதய
சுளுக்கு...
Feather, feather, peacock feather
Colorful peacock feather
Come and touch me, my beautiful one
As you keep touching, the pleasure pours blissfully
As eyes blink, the mysteries
Will unravel

இளமையில் இளமையில்
ஜில் ஜில் என் இருதயம்
நழுவுது செல் செல்
I was reborn once again
When your finger touched, even my eyebrows blushed
உயிரணு முழுவதும்
உனை பேச உனை பேச இமை
தொடும் நினைவுகள் அனல் வீச
அனல் வீச ஓ.. நினைச்சாலே
சிவப்பாகும் மருதாணித் தோட்டம்
நீ தலைவைத்து நான் தூங்கும்
தலகாணி கூச்சம் நீ
Oh, for words that do not exist
You are the understood meaning
On every unsaid spot
You are a burning kiss
எனதிரவினில்
கசிகிற நிலா ஒளி நீயே
படர்வாயே நெருங்குவதாலே
நொறுங்கிவிடாதோ இருபது
வருடம் ஓ... தவறுகளாலே
தொடுகிற நீ ஓா் அழகிய மிருகம்
Like the shadow of a tree
That feels the scorching solitude
Enfold me warmly..
Mischiefs written daily
Along with my nerves, like a calculation
As my two arms embrace you, it removes
The sprain of the heart
ரகசிய கனவுகள்
ஜல் ஜல் என் இமைகளை
கழுவுது சொல் சொல்
இளமையில் இளமையில்
ஜில் ஜில் என் இருதயம்
நழுவுது செல் செல்
Secret dreams chime 'jal jal'
Washing my eyelids, tell me, tell me
In youth, in youth, cool and chilling 'jil jil'
My heart slips away, go, go
குயிலினமே குயிலினமே
எனக்கொரு சிறகு கொடு முகிலினமே
முகிலினமே முகவரி எழுதிக் கொடு
அவனிடமே அவனிடமே எனது கனவை
அனுப்பு
My entire living cell speaks of you
Speaks of you
Memories touching my eyelids blow hot air
Blow hot air

Oh, you are a henna garden
That turns red at the mere thought
Where I rest my head to sleep
You are the shy softness of the pillow
Seeping into my night
You are the moonlight, please spread
Won't twenty years crush
Just by coming close?
Oh, touching through mistakes
You are a beautiful beast
