செந் மஞ்சள் மேகம் போலே
நேரில் வந்த சுந்தரி
நெஞ்சுக்குள் காதல் வீசும்
சாரல் சுந்தரி
Like a reddish-yellow cloud
A beautiful woman who came right before me
Love blowing inside the heart
A drizzle-like beauty
எண்ணங்கள் மேலே ஏறி
பயணம் செய்யும் சுந்தரா
எல்லைகள் ஏதுமில்லா
எந்தன் சுந்தரா
Riding atop thoughts
A handsome man making a journey
Having no boundaries at all
My handsome man
கலவரமே உந்தன் யோசனை
காதல் காதல்தான்
உன் கைவிடுமே உந்தன் வாசனை
தீண்ட சாரல்தான்
Your thought itself is a turmoil
Love is indeed an ocean
Female: Your fragrance leaves from the hand
It is indeed a drizzle that touches
நினைவுகளால் செய்யும் சங்கமம்
தொட்டுச் தொட்டுச் செல்லுமே
விட்டு விட்டு கொல்லுமே
உன் போதை அள்ளுமே
The union made by memories
It touches and goes continuously
It leaves and kills intermittently
Your intoxication gathers everything
தனிமை என்பவா
இல்லை துன்பமே
என்றும் வேண்டுமே
உன் அருகினில் தோன்றும்
அழ அழகான அதியசங்கள்
வித விதமான அனுபவங்கள்
Is it called loneliness?
No, it is sorrow
I want it forever
Appearing near you
Beautiful and wondrous miracles
Various kinds of experiences
விழி மின்னல் உந்தன் தேகம்
என்று கண்டேனே கண்ணே
பெண் மின்னல் தோன்றும்
மறையாது என்று சொன்னாயே முன்னே
Lightning in the eyes, your body
So I saw, my darling
A female lightning appears
You said before that it will not vanish
வீசும் காற்றுகிங்கே
உருவம் உண்டு என்பேனே நானும்
உன் தென்றல்தானே உன்னை போலே
உருமாறி தீண்டும்
To the wind blowing here
I too will say that it has a physical form
Isn't it your breeze, just like you
Changing form and touching
நான் நேரே செல்லும் போது
நீ வளைவில் உந்தாதே
அது போதும் போதும் அன்பே
நீ கவிதை சிந்தாதே
When I go straight ahead
Do not push me at the bend
Female: That is enough, enough my love
Do not spill poetic words
ஹே தூரத்தில் பார்க்கின்ற
இன்பம் என்னை கொல்லும் போது
பக்கத்தில் பார்க்கின்ற இன்பம் சொர்க்கமே
Hey, looking from a distance
When pleasure kills me
The pleasure seen from up close is heaven
வெள்ளங்கள் போல் என்போர்
உள்ளம் ஒட்டாதோ மோதாதோ
காயமின்றி மேலும் மாயம் செய்யுதே
Say who, like floods
Will hearts not stick together or collide?
It works further magic without causing wounds
நித்தம் ரத்தம் மொத்தம்
சத்தம் போடும் ரீங்காரம் நீயே
என் ஆதி அந்தம் எல்லாம் உள்ள
பூலோகம் நீயே
Daily, blood, all together
You are the humming sound that makes noise
Having my beginning and end in all
You are the earth
என் பார்வை வார்த்தையாவும்
தோன்றும் ஆதாரம் நீயே
நான் ரெக்கை கட்டி பயணம் போகும்
ஆகாயம் நீயே
All my sight and words
You are the source where they originate
With wings attached, I travel
You are the sky
ஒரு தீண்ட கண்ட
பக்கம் வாராயோ
ஒரு கருவி போல பாயும்
பேரன்பை தாராயோ
An untouched eye
Won't you come nearby?
Male: Flowing like a stream
Won't you give immense love?
பேரத்தை பார்க்கின்ற
தேவை ஏதும் தோன்றிடாமல்
பாரத்தை தீர்த்தாயே எந்தன் பாதியே
Looking at great name and fame
Without any need arising
You relieved my burden, my other half
ஓசைகள் இல்லாத
பாஷை கேட்காதோ
நம் ஜீவன் ரெண்டும் சந்திக்காமல்
பேசும் போதிலே
Without any sounds
Won't you hear the language?
Without our two souls meeting
While they speak
கண்ணோரம் தேனை கொட்டும்
காதல் தேரில் சுந்தரி
நெஞ்சோரம் எண்ணம் தீண்டும் தீனீ சுந்தரி
Pouring honey from the corner of the eyes
A beauty in the chariot of love
A honeybee beauty touching thoughts beside the heart
ஓஹ் தித்திக்கும் எண்ணத்தானே
என்னை தீண்டும் சுந்தரா
தேகத்தில் மின்சாரத்தை தூவும் சுந்தரா
Oh, with sweet thoughts
A handsome man who touches me
A handsome man who sprinkles electricity on the body
கலவரமே உந்தன் யோசனை
காதல் காதல்தான்
கைவிடுமே உந்தன் வாசனை
தீண்ட சாரல்தான்
