சார சார காற்றே
சார சார காற்றே
Oh trickling, breezy wind!
Oh trickling, breezy wind!
சார சார காற்றே
பொங்கி வழிகிறதே சந்தோஷ ஊற்றே
Oh trickling, breezy wind!
The spring of joy overflows!
சார சார காற்றே
அன்பை பொழிகிறதே ஆனந்தக் கீற்றே
Oh trickling, breezy wind!
A ray of happiness showers pure love!
சடசடன்னு கண்ரெண்டும் தேன் தூவ
நனைகிறதே என் ஆயுள் ரேகையே
With a gentle fluttering, both eyes
Rain down sweet honey,
Soaking the lifespan lines on my palm.
படபடன்னு கைரெண்டும் சீராட்ட
விழுகிறதே நம் தோளில் மாலையே
With a rhythmic patter, both hands
Pamper and caress,
As a garland falls onto our shoulders.
பச்சை மனது பால் நிறம்
அன்பில் சிவந்து போகுதே
சற்றே இருண்ட வானிலை
உன் அழகை கண்டதுமே
மின்னொளி பெறுதே
The innocent, milk-white pure heart
Turns red out of love.
The weather that was slightly dark,
Upon witnessing your beauty,
Gains a bright flash of lightning!

Oh trickling, breezy wind!
The spring of joy overflows!

ஹே ஏ ....
Oh trickling, breezy wind!

Hey ye...
யாழிசையும் ஏழிசையும்
உன் குரலோ
நீ நெருங்க பார்ப்பதுதான்
சொர்க்கங்களோ
Is your voice the music of the harp
And the seven musical notes?
Is looking at you up close
Equal to heavenly bliss?
தெய்வம் மறந்து கொடுத்திடாத
வரம் எத்தனை கோடியோ
அள்ளி கொடுக்க துணிந்த காதல்
அதை சொல்வது நீதியோ
Countless crores of divine blessings
That even God forgot to bestow!
Is it justice to call this love,
Which dares to give everything generously?
சித்தம் உனையெண்ணி
சடுகுடு விளையாடுதே
புத்தம் புது வெட்கம் புகுந்திட
நடை மாறுதே
Thinking of you, my mind
Plays a lively game of Kabaddi!
As brand new bashfulness enters,
My stride changes!
அந்தி பகலை மறந்து
உறவு நீள
அன்பே நீ வந்தாயே
Forgetting dusk and day,
So that our bond extends forever,
My beloved, you have arrived!
ஓ சார சார காற்றே
பொங்கி வழிகிறதே சந்தோஷ ஊற்றே
Oh trickling, breezy wind!
The spring of joy overflows!
சார சார காற்றே
அன்பை பொழிகிறதே ஆனந்தக் கீற்றே
Oh trickling, breezy wind!
A ray of happiness showers pure love!
சிலுசிலுன்னு பூந்தென்றல் சூடேற்ற
உயிரணுவே பொன்னூஞ்சல் ஆடுதே
Cool and soothingly,
As the soft breeze brings warmth,
The soul's tiny cell swings in a golden cradle!
குளுகுளுன்னு தீவெயில் தாலாட்ட
அடைமழையில் என் ஆசை மூழ்குதே
As the cool fiery sun lulls me to sleep,
My desire sinks into heavy downpours!
லட்சம் பறவை போல
என் உள்ளம் மிதந்து போகுதே
சற்றே இருண்ட வானிலை
உன் அழகை கண்டதுமே
மின்னொளி பெறுதே
Like a hundred thousand birds, my
Heart floats into the sky!
The weather that was slightly dark,
Upon witnessing your beauty,
Gains a bright flash of lightning!
