தெரியாத தென்றல்
என்னைத் தழுவுது ஏனோ?
புரியாத பூக்கள்
என்னுள் திறக்குதுதானோ?
An unfamiliar breeze
Why does it embrace me?
Unfamiliar flowers
Are they opening inside me on their own?
துணையாக நீ என்
கூட நடந்திடும் போது
வழியாவும் எந்தன்
நாணம் உதிர்த்துடுவேனோ?
When you walk beside me
As my companion,
Will I shed my shyness
On my own willingly?
விழுந்தேன் பிடித்தாய்
அழுதேன் சிரித்தாய்
எரிந்தேன் அணைத்தாய்
என் தாயின் புன்னகையாய்
I fell, you caught me
I cried, you smiled
I burned, you extinguished it
Like my mother's smile
The heart becomes music
The world becomes lines of lyrics
Like an endless dance
இசையாய் இதயம்
வரியாய் உலகம்
முடிவிலி நடனமாய்!
Calling you a friend
I tried saying it
Calling you a protector
I tried saying it
A hundred more
Titles I bestowed on you
But they were not enough
தோழன் என்று சொல்லிப் பார்த்தேன்
காவல் என்றும் சொல்லிப் பார்த்தேன்
இன்னும் நூறு பட்டம் தந்தேன்
போதவில்லையே!
To utter that single
Special word
I am not a brave woman
It would be beautiful if you yourself said it
அந்தச் ஒற்றை செல்லச் சொல்லைச்
வீரமங்கை நானும் அல்ல
நீயே அதைச் சொன்னால் அழகு
Like a floating moon
Like scattered light
Like a dream within it
You alone are
மிதவை நிலவாய்
சிதறும் ஒளியாய்
அதிலே கனவாய் நீயே!
Is it the puzzle of relationship?
Or an unopened flower bud?
Only if they blossom
Naturally on their own, it is beautiful
உறவின் புதிரோ?
திறவா முகையோ?
அவை தானாய் அவிழ்ந்தால்தான் அழகு
Pleasant face, soft voice,
And pure words, you pull me in
You attract me
Entirely into your sway
இன்முகம் மென்குரல்
வெண்மொழி என இழுக்கிறாய்
எனை உன் வசம்
நீ ஈர்த்துக் கொள்கின்றாய்
My shadow and your shadow
Stick together and celebrate
As an endless dance
As an endless dance
என் நிழல் உன் நிழல்
ஒட்டிக் கொண்டே கொண்டாடும்
முடிவிலி நடனமாய்!
முடிவிலி நடனமாய்!
If your look is
A lesson for me
I will study it all day long
If your word is
Like the sky
My heart fills like a cup
பாடம் என உந்தன் பார்வையெனில்
நாள் முழுதும் படிப்பேன்
பானம் என உன்தன் வார்த்தையெனில்
கோப்பையாய் மனம்
I heard nothing else
I did not close my ears
No one else spoke
Like jasmine scent
The wind didn't even blow
Even breath is not needed
When you are right beside me constantly
வேறெதுவும் கேட்கவில்லை
காலம் ஓடவில்லை
யாரும் பேசவில்லை
வாசம் ஏதுமில்லை
காற்றும் வீசவில்லை
மூச்சும் தேவையில்லை
உடன் உடன் உடன் உடன் நீ இருக்கையிலே
I did not go to the temple
I didn't feel like going
I couldn't find myself
You, you, you
Seeing you so close by
Melting and living my life
Isn't that enough, what trouble is this?
கோவில் போகவில்லை
போகத் தோன்றவில்லை
என்னைக் காணவில்லை
உன்னை உன்னை உன்னை
அருகில் அருகில் நான் கண்டு
உருகி உருகி நான் உண்டு
வாழ்ந்தாலே போதாதா என்ன தொல்லை..
You transformed into a thousand skies
Will you tell me how I can enter?
You showered as a thousand clouds
Will you fall into me as love?
ஆயிரம் வானமாய் மாறினாயே!
நான் எதில் ஏறிட? கூறுவாயா?
ஆயிரம் மேகமாய் தூறினாயே!
காதலாய் என்னிலே வீழுவாயா?
I fell, you caught me
I cried, you smiled
I burned, you extinguished it
Like my mother's smile
விழுந்தேன் பிடித்தாய்
அழுதேன் சிரித்தாய்
எரிந்தேன் அணைத்தாய்
என் தாயின் புன்னகையாய்
The heart becomes music
The world becomes lines of lyrics
Like an endless dance
Like an endless dance
இசையாய் இதயம்
வரியாய் உலகம்
முடிவிலி நடனமாய்!
முடிவிலி நடனமாய்!
