எங்கோ தொலைந்து போனேன் நானும்
தேட வேண்டம்
நீயும் மீண்டும் மீண்டும் தொலைந்து
போக போகிறேன்
I have gotten lost somewhere on my own
Do not search for me
You too will get lost repeatedly
And go on getting lost
ஏதோ உயிரை வருடியே கீற
யுகமும் நொடிகளாய் மாறா
தொலைகிறேன் உன்னை கண்டாலே
கண்மூடியே
Something caresses and grazes my soul
Eons turn into mere seconds
I get lost with closed eyes just seeing you
சீண்டல் இல்லை தீண்டல் இல்லை
தீ பிடிக்கும் மனநிலை
இரவும் இல்லை பகலும் இல்லை
சட்டென்று மாறுது வானிலை
There is no provocation, no touch
Yet my state of mind catches fire
There is neither night nor day
Suddenly the weather changes
முன்னும் இல்லை பின்னும் இல்லை
இன்று மற்றும் இந்நிலை
மின்னல் இல்லை மேகம் இல்லை
சட்டென்று மாறுது வானிலை
There is no past, no future
Only today exists in this state
There is no lightning, no cloud
Suddenly the weather changes
சட்டென்று மாறுதோ வானிலை
சட்டென்று தூறுது தேன்மழை
சட்டென்று மாறுதோ வானிலை
மொட்டொன்று மலருது உயிர்வரை
Suddenly the weather changes
Suddenly a rain of honey drizzles
Suddenly the weather changes
A flower bud blooms deep into the soul
நீ இல்லாமலே
என்னுள் உனை பார்க்கிறேனே
நீ சொல்லாமலே
உந்தன் மொழி கேட்கிறேனே
Even without you being present
I see you within myself
Even without you speaking
I hear your words
உன் நிழலொடு நான்
நிஜமாகி போதை கொல்வேன்
உன் உடலோடு நான்
உறையாடி என்னை வெல்வென்
With your shadow
I become real and get intoxicated
With your physical presence
I will converse and conquer myself
என் அதிகாலை குளிரை நீயும்
அனலாக்கி போகின்றாயே
நீ இல்லை என்றாலே
நான் எங்கே போவது
My early morning coldness
You turn it into heat and depart
If you are not there
Where would I go?
சீண்டல் இல்லை தீண்டல் இல்லை
தீ பிடிக்கும் மனநிலை
இரவும் இல்லை பகலும் இல்லை
சட்டென்று மாறுது வானிலை
There is no provocation, no touch
Yet my state of mind catches fire
There is neither night nor day
Suddenly the weather changes
முன்னும் இல்லை பின்னும் இல்லை
இன்று மற்றும் இந்நிலை
மின்னல் இல்லை மேகம் இல்லை
சட்டென்று மாறுது வானிலை
There is no past, no future
Only today exists in this state
There is no lightning, no cloud
Suddenly the weather changes
சட்டென்று மாறுதோ வானிலை
சட்டென்று தூறுது தேன்மழை
சட்டென்று மாறுதோ வானிலை
மொட்டொன்று மலருது உயிர்வரை
Suddenly the weather changes
Suddenly a rain of honey drizzles
Suddenly the weather changes
A flower bud blooms deep into the soul
