தேடுகிறாள் ஒரு தேவதை
தூவுகிறாள் விழிப் பூமழை
தேடுகிறாள் ஒரு தேவதை
தூவுகிறாள் விழிப் பூமழை
எண்ணங்களில் வாழும் பெண் சித்திரம்
கண்ணின் வழி பேசும் நட்சத்திரம்
An angel is searching
Showering a flower-rain from her eyes
An angel is searching
Showering a flower-rain from her eyes
A portrait of a woman residing in my thoughts
A star that speaks through her eyes
சின்னப் பூங்குயில் சிந்தும் மொழிகளில்
என்னைப் பாடுவாள் அந்தி நிலவினில்
விட்டுப் போகுமோ தொட்ட நினைவுகள்
பெண் உள்ளம் போராடுமோ....
In the words spilled by a little songbird
She will sing about me in the evening moonlight
Will the memories that touched us ever vanish?
Will a woman's heart struggle in conflict?
தேடுகிறாள் ஒரு தேவதை
தூவுகிறாள் விழிப் பூமழை
An angel is searching
Showering a flower-rain from her eyes
தாலாட்டும் வேளை அவள் நீலாம்பரி
நீராட்டும் நேரம் அவள் கோதாவரி
தாலாட்டும் வேளை அவள் நீலாம்பரி
நீராட்டும் நேரம் அவள் கோதாவரி
நான்தானே தேடும் என் ஆசைக்கிளி
நாள்தோறும் பாடும் ஒரு கீதாஞ்சலி
At lullaby time, she is the melody Neelambari
At bath time, she is the sacred Godavari river
At lullaby time, she is the melody Neelambari
At bath time, she is the sacred Godavari river
Am I not the one searching for my beloved bird?
A devotional song sung every single day
உள்ளக் கோவிலில் வெள்ளி ரதமென
எண்ணச் சோலையில் வண்ண மலரென
கொஞ்சும் கோகிலம் கொண்ட உறவுகள்
நெஞ்சோடு நின்றாடுமோ.....
Like a silver chariot inside the temple of the heart
Like a colorful flower in the garden of thoughts
The relationships held by the cooing nightingale
Will they remain and dance within the heart?
தேடுகிறாள் ஒரு தேவதை
தூவுகிறாள் விழிப் பூமழை
An angel is searching
Showering a flower-rain from her eyes
.............................
...
நீ பார்க்கும் பார்வை இளமான் தந்தது
நீ பேசும் வார்த்தை மலர்த்தேன் தந்தது
நீ கொண்ட காதல் அடி நான் தந்தது
நான் கொண்ட ஏக்கம் அது நீ தந்தது
The gaze you give was gifted by a young fawn
The words you speak were gifted by fresh flower honey
My dear, the love you hold was given by me
The yearning I feel was given by you
தங்கத் தேன்குடம் அள்ளி அணைக்கையில்
சின்னப் பூச்சரம் கிள்ளி எடுக்கையில்
அன்புக் காவியம் பள்ளி அறையினில்
வேறென்ன நான் சொல்வது....
When embracing a golden pot of honey
When gently plucking a small flower string
An epic poem of love inside the bedchamber
What else can I possibly say?
தேடுகிறாள் ஒரு தேவதை
தூவுகிறாள் விழிப் பூமழை
எண்ணங்களில் வாழும் பெண் சித்திரம்
கண்ணின் வழி பேசும் நட்சத்திரம்
An angel is searching
Showering a flower-rain from her eyes
A portrait of a woman residing in my thoughts
A star that speaks through her eyes
சின்னப் பூங்குயில் சிந்தும் மொழிகளில்
என்னைப் பாடுவாள் அந்தி நிலவினில்
விட்டுப் போகுமோ தொட்ட நினைவுகள்
பெண் உள்ளம் போராடுமோ....
