சில நாளாய் ஒருவித மயக்கம்
தனி ஆளாய் சிரித்திடும் பழக்கம்
சிறு நூலாய் இதயமும் பறக்கும்
ஏனோ கூறடி
For a few days, there has been a kind of intoxication
A habit of smiling all by myself
Like a thin thread, my heart flies away
மனமெங்கும் மலர்களின் வாசம்
அனலாகி வாட்டிடும் சுவாசம்
யாரோடும் உணரா நேசம்
எல்லாமே நீயடி
Tell me why, my girl
நீ வரும் அழகினை ரசித்தேன்
ஒரு நீரலை நடந்திட வியந்தேன்
தீயென உன் விழி தீண்ட
அந்த தீ பட்டு என் உயிர் நோக
The fragrance of flowers everywhere in the mind
A breath that scorches like fire
தீ பட்டு உன் உயிர் நோக
A love unfelt with anyone else
You are everything, my girl
சில நாளாய் ஒருவித மயக்கம்
தனி ஆளாய் இருந்திடும் பழக்கம்
சிறு நூலாய் இதயமும் பறக்கும்
ஏனோ கூறடி
I admired the beauty of your arrival
I marveled as a water wave seemed to walk
When your eyes touch me like fire
Catching that fire, my soul aches
{இலை வழியும் பனித்துளி என் முகம்
பூக்கும் பூக்கும் வேர்வையாய்
நிலை கொள்ளா உன் மனமும்
தினமும் அசைந்தாடும் ஊஞ்சலாய்} (2)
Catching that fire, your soul aches
இலை வழியும் பனித்துளி என் முகம்
பூக்கும் பூக்கும் வேர்வையாய்
நிலை கொள்ளா உன் மனமும்
தினமும் அசைந்தாடும் ஊஞ்சலாய்
For a few days, there has been a kind of intoxication
A habit of remaining all by myself
Like a thin thread, my heart flies away
Tell me why, my girl
எதையோ சொல்ல நினைக்கும் இதழ்கள்
எதையோ சொல்லி முடித்திடுதே
விதையாய் அன்றி விழுந்திட்ட எண்ணம்
கதையாய் இங்கே நீள்கிறதே
{Dewdrops dripping from leaves upon my face
Sweat blossoms like flowers
Unable to stay still, your mind daily
Swings like a swaying cradle} (2)
பட்ட பகலின் வட்ட நிலவே
தொட்டு தழுவிட ஏங்கினேன்
மலையினில் பெய்திடும் மழையாய்
எந்தன் தேகம் முழுவதும் நனைகிறேன்
Lips that intend to say something
End up saying something else entirely
The thought that fell as a seed back then
Extends here as a long story
சில நாளாய் ஒருவித மயக்கம்
தனி ஆளாய் சிரித்திடும் பழக்கம்
சிறு நூலாய் இதயமும் பறக்கும்
ஆண் : ஏனோ கூறடி
O round moon of broad daylight
I longed to touch and embrace you
Like rain pouring down on the mountain
My whole body gets completely drenched
{கவிதை காதலனாகி நிற்கும்
உந்தன் தோற்றமாய்
கனவில் இரவுகள் கரைய அலைந்தேன்
நானும் மேகமாய்} (2)
For a few days, there has been a kind of intoxication
A habit of smiling all by myself
Like a thin thread, my heart flies away
கவிதை காதலனாகி நிற்கும்
உந்தன் தோற்றமாய்
கனவில் இரவுகள் கரைய அலைந்தேன்
நானும் மேகமாய்
Tell me why, my girl
விரலோடிங்கு விரல் தொடும் நேரம்
விழியோரங்கள் நனைகிறதே
புவி எல்லாமும் இருளாய் மாறி
பூமுகம் மட்டும் ஒளிர்கிறதே
{Poetry stands as my lover
Taking your very appearance
I wandered as nights dissolved in dreams
I too became a cloud} (2)
கத்தும் அலையின் சத்தம் தாண்டி
உந்தன் பேரை கூறுவேன்
மொத்தம் என்னை உன்னிடம் தந்து
முத்தம் கோடி வேண்டுவேன்
When finger touches finger here
The corners of the eyes blossom
The entire world turns into darkness
And your flower-like face alone shines
சில நாளாய் ஒருவித மயக்கம்
தனி ஆளாய் சிரித்திடும் பழக்கம்
Beyond the sound of the roaring waves
I will call out your name
Surrendering all of myself to you
I will ask for a crore kisses
சிறு நூலாய் இதயமும் பறக்கும்
ஏனோ கூறடி
For a few days, there has been a kind of intoxication
A habit of smiling all by myself
மனமெங்கும்
மலர்களின் வாசம்
அனலாகி
வாட்டிடும் சுவாசம்
யாரோடும் உணரா நேசம்
எல்லாமே நீ நீ….
Like a thin thread, my heart flies away
Tell me why, my girl
நீ வரும் அழகினை ரசித்தேன்
ஒரு நீரலை நடந்திட வியந்தேன்
தீயென உன் விழி தீண்ட
அந்த தீ பட்டு என் உயிர் நோக
Everywhere in the heart
Female :The fragrance of flowers
Male :Becoming fire
Female :Breath that scorches
Male :A love unfelt with anyone else
You are everything... you
தீ பட்டு உன் உயிர் நோக
I admired the beauty of your arrival
I marveled as a water wave seemed to walk
When your eyes touch me like fire
Catching that fire, my soul aches
சில நாளாய் ஒருவித மயக்கம்
தனி ஆளாய் இருந்திடும் பழக்கம்
சிறு நூலாய் இதயமும் பறக்கும்
ஏனோ கூறடி
Catching that fire, your soul aches

A habit of remaining all by myself
Like a thin thread, my heart flies away
