தாமரை பூவிலும்
மெல்லிய இதயம்
சாய்விட்டதடா
உன் முக வடிவம்
Even softer than a lotus flower,
My gentle heart
Has been captivated, oh dear,
By the shape of your face.
வானிலை மாற்றிடும்
மயக்கத்தின் தாகம்
வாழவேண்டுமடா
உன்னுடன் நானும்
Changing the very climate,
This thirst of enchantment,
I want to live,
Along with you.
கண்ணனின் குழலாய்
கன்னியின் மனதில்
என்று நீ நுழைந்தாயோ
Like Krishna's flute,
Into a maiden's heart,
When did you enter?
மஞ்சளின் மொழியாய்
நெஞ்சினில் விழுந்தாய்
என்னில் உதிப்பாயோ
As the symbolic language of turmeric,
You fell into my heart;
Will you rise within me?
தாமரை பூவிலும்
மெல்லிய இதயம்
சாய்விட்டதடா
உன் முக வடிவம்
Even softer than a lotus flower,
My gentle heart
Has been captivated, oh dear,
By the shape of your face.
பார்த்திடும் போது மறைந்தேன
பழகிடும் நேரம் கரைந்தேன
ஏழு வண்ண வானவில்லை எழுகிறேனே
When I look at you,
I faded away.
As we spent time together,
I dissolved completely.
Like a seven-colored rainbow,
I am rising up.
இமைத்திடும் வேளை பிரிந்தாலே
இதயமும் நோகும் தன்னாலே
அன்பின் ஆழம் தேடி
உன்னில் மூழ்கினேனே
In the blink of an eye,
If we get separated,
My heart aches
All on its own.
Searching for the depth of love,
I submerged into you.
மனதோடு பேசுகின்றேன்
பசி தூக்கம் நீங்குகின்றேன்
உன்னை கண்டு
மலர்ந்த கண்கள் மூடவில்லை
I keep speaking to my heart,
I lose my hunger and sleep.
The eyes that bloomed upon seeing you,
Have not closed at all.
தாமரை பூவிலும்
மெல்லிய இதயம்
சாய்விட்டதடா
உன் முக வடிவம்
Even softer than a lotus flower,
My gentle heart
Has been captivated, oh dear,
By the shape of your face.
தென்றலை தேடச் சொன்னேனே
பல இடம் கூட சொன்னேனே
என்னை விட்டு தொலைந்து போன
இதயம் எங்கே
To search for the gentle breeze,
I asked,
Across many places,
I asked.
Lost and gone away from me,
Where is my heart?
நதியினை ஆடிச் சென்றேனே
கடலினை ஆழம் சென்றேனே
நிழலும் கூட நீங்கி போன
மாயம் இங்கே
Wandering along the river,
I went,
Into the depths of the ocean,
I went.
Where even the shadow departs,
Where is that magical illusion?
தொலை தூரமான நெஞ்சே
தொடுவானம் போனது எங்கே
களவு போன மனதை உன்னில்
நானும் கண்டேன்
Oh heart that has drifted far away,
Where did the horizon go?
My stolen heart,
I found it within you.
தாமரை பூவிலும்
மெல்லிய இதயம்
சாய்விட்டதடா
உன் முக வடிவம்
Even softer than a lotus flower,
My gentle heart
Has been captivated, oh dear,
By the shape of your face.
Thamarai poovilum
Even softer than a lotus flower,
Melliya idhayam
My gentle heart
Saaithuvittadhada
Has been captivated, oh dear,
Un muga vadivam
By the shape of your face.
Vaanilai maattridum
Changing the very climate,
Mayakkathin dhaagam
This thirst of enchantment,
Vaazhavendumada
I want to live,
Unnudan naanum
Along with you.
