ஓ மெய்தானே
என் உயிரே நீ வழித்திடும்
காதலால் வாடியே போகிறேன்
Oh, is it true?
My life, with the love you pour out,
I am slowly fading away.
உன்னால் விழிகளை தேடினேன்
பார்த்திடும் பார்வையில்
மயக்கங்கள் காண்கிறேன்
Because of you, I searched for eyes.
In the glance that looks at me,
I experience entrancement.
ஓ மழையிலே நனைந்து போகிறேன்
உன்னை பார்கையில் கரைந்து போகிறேன்
தனிமைகள் கலைந்து போகிறேன்
காதல் கவிதைகள் வரைந்து போகிறேன்
Oh, I get drenched in the rain.
When I look at you, I melt away.
My loneliness dissolves.
I go on drawing love poems.
விழியில் நீயும் ஏன் வந்தாய்
ஏன் ? ............................
Why did you enter my eyes?
Why?...
ஆண் மற்றும் பெண் :
வசனம்...............
Oh Moon, in my dream, one thing...
You gave, my life.
நிலவே கனவில் ஒன்று
நீ தந்தாய் என் உயிரே
My very life.
When you come upon my lips in a dream,
I yield and comply.
Just to see you every day,
I will keep dreaming.
Within my soul, for you to merge as one,
I am asking for boons.
To hold your hands,
I long and struggle.
எனது உயிரே
இதழில் நீயும் கனவில் வருகையில்
இறங்கி போகிறேன்
தினமும் உன்னை காணவே
கனவே காண்பேன்
உயிருள் நீயும் ஒன்றாய்
கலக்கவே வரங்கள் கேட்கிறேன்
உந்தன் கைகள் பிடிக்க
ஏங்கியே தவிப்பேன்
In my eyes, with your memory,
I yearned because of a life-consuming love.
I am slowly fading away.
I searched for your eyes.
In the glance that they cast,
I experience entrancement.
என் விழிகளில் உன் நினைவாலே
ஏங்கினேன் உயிர் அழித்திடும் காதலால்
வாடியே போகிறேன்
உந்தன் விழிகளை தேடினேன்
அவை பார்த்திடும் பார்வையில்
மயக்கங்கள் காண்கிறேன்
Oh, I get drenched in the rain.
When I look at you, I melt away.
My loneliness dissolves.
I go on drawing love poems.
ஓ மழையிலே நனைந்து போகிறேன்
உன்னை பார்கையில் கரைந்து போகிறேன்
தனிமைகள் கலைந்து போகிறேன்
காதல் கவிதைகள் வரைந்து போகிறேன்
Oh peacock feather,
For you to touch me gently,
I am performing penance.
The moment I unite with you,
Thinking of that, I shall live.
மயில் இறகே
என்னை நீயும் மெல்ல தீண்டவே
தவங்கள் இருக்கிறேன்
உன்னை சேரும் நேரத்தை
நினைத்தே வாழ்வேன்
To hold and protect you within my eyes,
I ask for permission.
Covering you with my eyelids,
I will keep you cocooned.
விழியில் உன்னை வைத்து தாங்கவே
அனுமதி கேட்கிறேன்
இமைகள் போர்த்தி உன்னை
முடங்கிட வைப்பேன்
Near me, I counted your minutes.
I am turning into a breath that departs from you.
I will blow inside your heart, as it awakens,
In those moments, I ask God.
என் அருகிலே உன் நிமிடங்கள் கூறினேன்
உன்னை பிரிந்திடும் சுவாசமாய் மாறியே போகிறேன்
உந்தன் நெஞ்சினுள் வீசுவேன் அதன் விழிந்திடும்
நொடிகளில் கடவுளை கேட்கிறேன்
Oh, I get drenched in the rain.
When I look at you, I melt away.
My loneliness dissolves.
I go on drawing love poems.
ஓ மழையிலே நனைந்து போகிறேன்
உன்னை பார்கையில் கரைந்து போகிறேன்
தனிமைகள் கலைந்து போகிறேன்
காதல் கவிதைகள் வரைந்து போகிறேன்
Why did you enter my eyes?
Why?...
Oh Moon, you gave one thing in my dream,
My life.
விழியில் நீயும் ஏன் வந்தாய்
ஏன் ? .....
