சூரதேங்கா விழியழகி செதற வுட்டாளே
உத்து பாத்து பத்து வயசு கொறச்சுப்புட்டாளே
The beautiful-eyed girl smashed me like a smashed coconut!
By looking closely at me, she reduced my age by ten years!
தூக்கம் பசி எல்லாத்தையும் தொரத்தி வுட்டாளே
தொக்கா என்ன சுக்கா பண்ணி கடிச்சிகிட்டாளே
She chased away all my sleep and hunger!
She completely chewed me up like dry meat!
துரு புடிச்சு கெடந்த மனம்
துரு துருன்னு அலையுதப்பா
கருங்கல்லு போல் இருந்தவன் தான்
கவிதை எல்லாம் எழுதுறேன்பா
My mind, which was lying around rusted,
Is now wandering around playfully!
The man who was once like a hard black stone,
Is now writing all kinds of poetry!
அவ போன தெருவெல்லாம்
பூ வாசம் வீச வச்சா
அவளோட நெனப்பாதான்
இரவெல்லாம் பேச வச்சா
On all the streets she walked through,
She made the fragrance of flowers linger!
It was her thoughts alone
That kept me talking through the night!
துரு புடிச்சு கெடந்த மனம்
துரு துருன்னு அலையுதப்பா
கருங்கல்லு போல் இருந்தவன் தான்
கவிதை எல்லாம் எழுதுறேன்பா
My mind, which was lying around rusted,
Is now wandering around playfully!
The man who was once like a hard black stone,
Is now writing all kinds of poetry!
சூரதேங்கா விழியழகி செதற வுட்டாளே
உத்து பாத்து பத்து வயசு கொறச்சுப்புட்டாளே
The beautiful-eyed girl smashed me like a smashed coconut!
By looking closely at me, she reduced my age by ten years!
தூக்கம் பசி எல்லாத்தையும் தொரத்தி வுட்டாளே
தொக்கா என்ன சுக்கா பண்ணி கடிச்சிகிட்டாளே
She chased away all my sleep and hunger!
She completely chewed me up like dry meat!
ஹா..ஆஆ...
Haa…aaa….
ஆடியோ வீடியோ மங்கி போகும் ஏஜ்ல
ஜோடியா லேடியா நெஞ்சம் ஏங்குது
ஓரமா நிக்குற ஹைதர் கால சைக்கிள
பாவி உன் பார்வ தான் பஞ்சர் ஒட்டுது
At an age when my audio and video are blurring,
My heart yearns to hold hands as a couple!
Like an old vintage cycle standing in a corner,
You sinner, your gaze patches up my puncture!
காங்கேயம் காளை கம்பியூட்டர் மேல
ஓயாம கெடந்தேனே உனக்காக தான்
ஹைபுவா உருமாற மரபு கவித ஒண்ணு மருகுது
ஹைய்யோ ஹைய்யோ ஹைய்யய்யோ
Like a Kangeyam bull stuck on top of a computer,
I lay restlessly just for you!
Transforming into a Haiku, a traditional poem
Is melting inside me!
Oh my, oh my, oh my goodness..
சூரதேங்கா விழியழகி செதற வுட்டாளே

தூக்கம் பசி எல்லாத்தையும் தொரத்தி வுட்டாளே
தொக்கா என்ன சுக்கா பண்ணி கடிச்சிகிட்டாளே
She chased away all my sleep and hunger!
She completely chewed me up like dry meat!
மௌனமா முட்டுறா மார்க்கமா காட்டுறா
பார்வையோ செய்யுதே பஞ்சதந்திரம்
பாலுக்கு ஏங்குற பூனையா மாறுறேன்
பொம்பள போட்டது என்ன மந்திரம்
She butts in silently and shows the path,
Her gaze performs magical tricks!
I am turning into a cat longing for milk,
What spell did this woman cast?
காத்தாடி சுத்தும் என்னோட நெஞ்சம்
ஓயாம அலைபாய உனக்காக தான்
அம்மாடி வயசாயும் அழகு குலையா சிலையா மெரட்டுற
ஹைய்யோ ஹைய்யோ ஹைய்யய்யோ
My heart spins like a pinwheel,
Wandering restlessly just for you!
Goodness, even as age advances without losing beauty,
She intimidates like a majestic statue!
Oh my, oh my, oh my goodness..
