ஆசை நாயகனே
சௌக்கியமா
உந்தன் நலம் நாடும்
பிரியமானவளின் கடிதம்
My beloved lord
Are you doing well...
Wishing for your well-being
A letter from your beloved
உன் மார்பில் விழி மூடி
தூங்குகிறேன் தினமும் கனவில்
உன் ஆசை முகம் தேடி ஏங்குகிறேன்
விடியும் பொழுதில்
I sleep with my eyes closed on your chest
Every day in my dream
I long searching for your loving face
At the break of dawn
எந்தன் வளையல் குலுங்கியது
கொலுசும் நழுவியது
வெக்கத்தில் கன்னங்கள் கூசியது
மனம் காலடி ஓசையை
எதிர்பார்த்து துடிக்கின்றது ... அன்பே
My bangles jingled
My anklet slipped
My cheeks blushed in shyness
My heart for the sound of footsteps
Beats in anticipation
My love
உன் மார்பில் விழி மூடி
தூங்குகிறேன் தினமும் கனவில்
I sleep with my eyes closed on your chest
Every day in my dream
சின்னக் குயில்கள்
உன்னை உன்னை நலம் கேட்குதா
நெஞ்சில் பரவும்
அலை அலை உன்னை ஈரம் ஆக்குதா
Do the little cuckoos
Ask how you are doing?
Spreading across the heart
Do waves upon waves make you wet?
மெல்ல நகரும்
பகல் பகல் யுகம் ஆகுதா
மூச்சு விட்டதால் தலையணை
அது தீயில் வேகுதா
Moving slowly
Does each passing day feel like an era?
Because of my sighs, the pillow
Is it burning in fire?
நெஞ்சம் எதிலும் ஒட்டாமல்
கண்ணில் கனவும் வற்றாமல்
தினமும் தினமும் உருகும் மனது
ஏன் இந்த நிலைமை தெரியவில்லை
இந்தப் பரவசம் உனக்குள்ளும் இருக்கிறதா
அன்பே.....
With the heart not attaching to anything else
With dreams in the eyes never drying up
Day after day, the heart melts
I do not know why this state exists
Is this ecstasy within you too?
My love...
உன் மார்பில் விழி மூடி
தூங்குகிறேன் தினமும் கனவில்
உன் ஆசை முகம் தேடி ஏங்குகிறேன்
விடியும் பொழுதில்
I sleep with my eyes closed on your chest
Every day in my dream
I long searching for your loving face
At the break of dawn
காலை வெயில் நீ
பனித்துளி இவள் அல்லவா
என்னைக் குடித்து
இனி இனி உன் தாகம் தீர்க்கவா
You are the morning sun
Is she not the dewdrop?
Drinking me in
Will you quench your thirst from now on?
துள்ளும் நதி நீ
இவள் அதில் நுரை அல்லவா
இருவருக்கும் இடைவெளி
இனி இல்லை அல்லவா
The leaping river water
Is she not the foam in it?
The distance between the two of us
Is no longer there, is it?
நிலவில் வேகம் உன்னாலே
வருவாய் எந்தன் முன்னாலே
அழகும் உயிரும் உனக்கே சொந்தம்
ஏராளம் ஆசை நெஞ்சில் உண்டு
அதை எழுதிட நாணங்கள் தடுக்கிறதே
அன்பே
The swiftness in the moonlight is because of you
Will you come before me?
Beauty and life belong only to you
There are boundless desires in my heart
My shyness prevents me from writing them down
My love
உன் மார்பில் விழி மூடி
தூங்குகிறேன் தினமும் கனவில்
உன் ஆசை முகம் தேடி ஏங்குகிறேன்
விடியும் பொழுதில்
I sleep with my eyes closed on your chest
Every day in my dream
I long searching for your loving face
At the break of dawn

Song interpretation
This song is structured as a tender poetic love letter written by a woman to her distant lover. She expresses how she spends her nights dreaming of resting on his chest, only to wake up missing his presence at dawn. The lyrics vividly capture the physical and emotional sensations of longing, such as the jingle of her bangles, her blushing cheeks, and her heart beating fast at the thought of his footsteps.
