ரெண்டு ஸ்பூன்
புன்னகை ரெண்டு ஸ்பூன்
வன்முறை கண்ணோடு
கலந்தது ஏனோ
Two spoons of smiles,
Two spoons of aggressive charm,
Why did they blend with my eyes?
ரெண்டு ஸ்பூன்
முத்தங்கள் ரெண்டு ஸ்பூன்
வெட்கங்கள் கன்னத்தில்
கொடுத்தது ஏனோ
Two spoons of kisses,
Two spoons of shyness,
Why were they placed on my cheeks?
உன் சிரிப்பு எல்லாம்
அன்பே ஹைக்கூ கவிதையடி
அதை படித்து பார்த்தேன்
ஐயோ புரியவே இல்லையடி
All your laughter,
My love, is like a short Haiku poem.
I tried reading it,
Oh dear, I could not understand it at all.
என் வீரியத்தை
நீ உரசுகையில் காதல்
ஓடம் ஒன்று குதிக்கும்
Against my physical body,
When you brush past,
A boat of love leaps up.
ஒரு கருப்பு வெள்ளை
பூக்கள் உண்டாக்கிட்டேன்
அவை உந்தன் கண்ணில்
கண்டேன் டேன் டேன்
A black and white
Set of flowers I created,
I saw those reflected in your eyes.
ஷயோ ஷயோ
ஷயோ பூ பூத்தால் அட

Aiyo aiyo aiyo, when the rain
Pours down, lad, it carries your fragrance.
..........................
அழகான இதழால்
அடிக்கடி இயல்வாய் அன்பே
நீ ஐயோ என்பாய் ரசித்தேன்
With beautiful lips, naturally and often,
My love, you say 'aiyo', which I adored.
சுடிதாரில் தெரியாமல்
சிறு விரல் பட்டாலும் அன்பே
நீ சாரி என்பாய் ரசித்தேன்
Even if a tiny finger accidentally touches your dress,
My love, you say 'sorry', which I adored.
உன் நியாபகத்தால்
வருகின்ற தும்மலை
ரசித்தேன்
Because of your memories,
The sneeze that comes, I adored.
என் பேரை சொல்லி
நீ செய்யும் அர்ச்சனை
ரசித்தேன்
Chanting my name,
The sweet scolding/worship you perform, I adored.
ரயில் நிலையத்திலே
என்னை வழி அனுப்பி ஜன்னல்
ஓரம் அழுதாய் ரசித்தேன்
ஏன் ஏன்
At the railway station,
Seeing me off,
You cried beside the window, which I adored, why oh why?
மழை மாதத்திலே
குடை மறைத்து விட்டு
எந்தன் குடைக்குள் வந்தாய்
ரசித்தேன்
In the rainy season,
Hiding your own umbrella,
You stepped under my umbrella, which I adored.
ஷயோ ஷயோ
ஷயோ பூ பூத்தால் அடி
உன் வாசம் ஹையோ
ஹையோ ஹையோ
மழை பெய்தால் அடி

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Shayo Shayo' from Bagavathi (2002) is a playful romantic duet expressing the deep sensory attachment between two lovers. The protagonist senses his lover's fragrance everywhere—in blooming flowers, falling rain, ocean winds, and his own breath. Through modern, youthful imagery, the lovers describe their affection by metaphorically measuring emotions like laughter, kisses, and shyness in 'spoons', and comparing laughter to a Haiku poem.
