துளி துளியாய்
கொட்டும் மழை துளியாய்
என் இதயத்தை இதயத்தை
நனைத்து விட்டாய் பார்வையிலே
உன் பார்வையிலே ஒரு வேதியல்
மாற்றத்தை நிகழ்த்திவிட்டாய்
Pouring drop by drop,
like drops of rain,
my heart, my heart
you have drenched completely.
In your look, in your look
a chemical reaction
you have brought about.
ஒளி ஒளியாய்
வெட்டும் மின்னல் ஒளியாய்
என் ரகசிய ஸ்தலங்களை
ரசித்துவிட்டாய் ரசித்ததையே
நீ ரசித்ததையே என் அனுமதி
இல்லாமல் ருசித்து விட்டாய்
As light and brightness,
like the flashing lightning light,
my secret spaces
you have admired.
What you admired, oh what you admired,
without my permission,
you have tasted.
பூவென நீ இருந்தால்
இளம் தென்றலை போல்
வருவேன் நிலவென நீ
இருந்தால் உன் வானம்
போலிருப்பேன்
If you were a flower,
I would come like a gentle breeze.
If you were the moon,
I would remain like your sky.
துளி துளியாய்
கொட்டும் மழை துளியாய்
என் இதயத்தை இதயத்தை
நனைத்து விட்டாய் பார்வையிலே

மாற்றத்தை நிகழ்த்திவிட்டாய்
Pouring drop by drop,
like drops of rain,
my heart, my heart
you have drenched completely.
In your look, in your look
a chemical reaction
you have brought about.
பூமியெங்கும் பூ
பூத்த பூவில் நான் பூட்டி
கொண்டே இருப்பேன்
All over the earth,
in the flowers that have bloomed,
I will keep locking myself up.
பூக்களுக்குள் நீ
பூட்டிக் கொண்டால் நான்
காற்று போல திறப்பேன்
Inside the flowers,
if you lock yourself up,
I will open them like the wind.
மேகம் உள்ளே
வாழ்ந்திருக்கும் தூறல்
போலவே நானும் அந்த
மேகம் அதில் வாழ்கிறேன்
Living inside the clouds
like the light drizzle,
I too am that cloud,
living inside it.
காற்றழுத்தம் போல
வந்து நானும் உன்னை தான்
முத்தம் இட்டு முத்தம் இட்டு
போகிறேன்
Coming like wind pressure,
I too, only you,
kissing again and again,
shall pass by.
ஒருவரை ஒருவர்
அடிக்கடி தேடி ஆனந்த
மழைதனில் நனைந்திட
நனைந்திட
Each other,
searching frequently,
in the rain of bliss
to get soaked and soaked.
துளி துளியாய்
கொட்டும் மழை துளியாய்
என் இதயத்தை இதயத்தை
நனைத்து விட்டாய் பார்வையிலே
உன் பார்வையிலே ஒரு வேதியல்
மாற்றத்தை நிகழ்த்திவிட்டாய்
Pouring drop by drop,
like drops of rain,
my heart, my heart
you have drenched completely.
In your look, in your look
a chemical reaction
you have brought about.
நீலவானில் அட
நீயும் வாழ ஒரு வீடு
கட்டி தரவா
In the blue sky,
for you to live in,
shall I build you a house?
நீலவானில் என்
கால் நடந்தால் விண்மீன்கள்
குத்தும் தலைவா
In the blue sky,
if my feet walk,
the stars will peck at them, my lord.
ஓர கண்ணில்
போதை கொண்டு நீயும்
பார்க்கிறாய் மேல் உதட்டை
கீழ் உதட்டை அசைக்கிறாய்
With intoxication in the corner of your eye,
you look at me.
The upper lip and the lower lip
you move.
பூவனத்தை பூவனத்தை
கொய்து போகிறாய் பெண் இனத்தை
பெண் இனத்தை ரசிக்கிறாய்
The flower garden, the flower garden
you pluck away.
Womankind, womankind
you admire.
கனவுகள் வருதே
கனவுகள் வருதே காதலியே
உன்னை தழுவிட தழுவிட
Dreams are coming,
dreams are coming,
my beloved, to embrace
embrace you closely.
துளி துளியாய்
கொட்டும் மழை துளியாய்
என் இதயத்தை இதயத்தை
நனைத்து விட்டாய் பார்வையிலே
உன் பார்வையிலே ஒரு வேதியல்
