ஹ்ம்ம் உன் நகம் வர

Hmm, as nails trace,
Say the address,
To trace your body,
Why the permission?
தீராத நேரம்
உன் கூட போதும்
மாயாத நாள் மட்டும்
நாம் வாழ வேணும்
தீராத ஆசை
ஓயாமல் தோணும்
நாள் நேரம் பாராமல்
தோள் சாய வேணும்
Unending time,
Is enough with you,
Only endless days,
I want to live,
An unchanging desire,
Arises unceasingly,
Regardless of day or time,
I wish to lean on your shoulder.
ஓ சாயாலி

Me from the roots,
You uprooted, my girl.

In the gentle drizzle of my eyes,
The rebellious ripples of your reflection,
Why are they,
Meant to defeat me?
கண்ணாடி நெஞ்சம் மேல்
உன் அன்பின் பாரங்கள்
ஏனோ என் நெஞ்சை
சில்லாக்க தானோ
Upon this glass heart,
The weight of your love,
Why does it break,
My heart into pieces?
ஏன் இனி தாமதம்
வா உடன் வாழ்ந்திட
Why delay anymore?
Come to live together immediately,
நாட்களும் தீரும்முன்
சேர்வோம் வாழ்ந்திட
Before the days run out,
Let us unite and live.
