சிரித்தாள் தங்கப்
பதுமை அடடா அடடா
என்ன புதுமை கொடுத்தேன்
எந்தன் மனதை வளர்த்தேன்
வளர்த்தேன் இந்த உறவை
When she smiles,
She is a golden statue,
Oh my, oh my, what a wonder!
I gave my heart,
And nurtured, nurtured this relationship.

{ மார்கழிப் பனி
போல் உடையணிந்து
செம்மாதுளங்கனி போல்
இதழ் கனிந்து } (2)
In the cold month of Margazhi,
Draped in garments like soft dew,
Like a ripe, sweet pomegranate fruit,
Her lips have ripened sweetly.
கார்குழலாலே
இடையளந்து நீ
காத்திருந்தாயோ
எனை நினைந்து
With your dark, cloud-like hair,
Measuring your waist, did you wait for me,
Thinking of me in your heart?
{ அழகெனும்
வடிவில் நிலையிழந்தேன்
இந்தஆண்மகன் பிடியில்
எனை மறந்தேன் } (2)
In the form of total beauty,
I lost my composure and steady control,
In the firm hold of this man,
I completely forgot myself.
பழகியும்
ஏனோ தலை குனிந்தேன்
இங்கு பருவத்தின் முன்னே
முகம் சிவந்தேன்
Despite our close familiarity,
I know not why I bowed my head,
Here before the tide of youth,
My cheeks blushed bright red.
சிரித்தாள் தங்கப்

I gave my heart,
And nurtured, nurtured this relationship.

கயல்விழி
இரண்டில் வயல்
அமைத்து அதில்காதல்
என்றொரு விதை விதைத்து
காலமறிந்து
கதிர் அறுப்போமா
காவிய உலகில்
குடியிருப்போமா
In your two fish-shaped eyes,
Creating a fertile farm field,
Sowing a precious seed
Called sweet romance within it,
பஞ்சணைக்
காலத்தில் பூவிரித்து
அதில்பவள நிலாவை
அலங்கரித்து
Knowing the right season,
Shall we harvest the crops together?
Shall we dwell together in a world of epic poetry?
கொஞ்சிடும்
இரவை வளர்ப்போமா
சுகம்கோடிக் கோடியாய்க்
குவிப்போமா
On a soft mattress bed,
Spreading fragrant blossoms in due time,
Adorning the radiant coral moon atop it,
ஆண் & பெண் :
சிரித்தாள் தங்கப்
பதுமை அடடா அடடா
என்ன புதுமை கொடுத்தேன்
எந்தன் மனதை வளர்த்தேன்
வளர்த்தேன் இந்த உறவை
With affectionate caresses,
Shall we make this night last longer?
Pleasures in millions upon millions,
Shall we gather and accumulate them all?
