{ ரகசியமானது காதல்
மிக மிக ரகசியமானது
காதல் } (2)
Love is secretive,
Love is very, very secretive.
முகவரி சொல்லாமல்
முகம் தன்னை மறைக்கும்
ஒருதலையாகவும் சுகம்
அனுபவிக்கும் சுவாரசியமானது
காதல் மிக மிக சுவாரசியமானது
காதல்
Hiding its face without revealing an address,
It experiences sweet joy even when one-sided,
Love is fascinating,
Love is very, very fascinating.
சொல்லாமல் செய்யும்
காதல் கனமானது சொல்லச்
சொன்னாலும் சொல்வதுமில்லை
மனமானது சொல்லும் சொல்லை
தேடி தேடி யுகம் போனது இந்த
சோகம் தானே காதலிலே சுகமானது
Love expressed without words is profound,
Even when urged to speak, the heart keeps silent.
Eras passed in search of the right word to say,
Yet this sorrow itself becomes sweet pleasure in love.
வாசனை வெளிச்சத்தை
போல அது சுதந்திரமானதும்
அல்ல ஈரத்தை இருட்டினை
போல அது ஒளிந்திடும்
வெளி வரும் மெல்ல
Like fragrance and like light,
It is not entirely free or unrestricted.
Like moisture and like darkness,
It hides and slowly comes into the light.

கேட்காமல் காட்டும்
அன்பு உயர்வானது கேட்டுக்
கொடுத்தாலே காதல் அங்கு
உயிராகுது கேட்கும் கேள்விக்காக
தானே பதில் வாழுது காதல் கேட்டு
வாங்கும் பொருளும் அல்ல
இயல்பானது
Love offered unasked is noble,
When requested and granted, love comes alive there.
The answer lives solely for the question asked,
Love is not a commodity to ask for and buy; it is natural.
நீரினை நெருப்பினைப்
போல விரல் தொடுதலில்
புரிவதும் அல்ல காதலும்
கடவுளை போல அதை உயிரினில்
உணரனும் மெல்ல
Like water and like fire,
It cannot be grasped merely by a finger's touch.
Love is just like God,
It must be gently felt within the soul.
