உன் பார்வையில் ஓராயிரம்
உன் பார்வையில் ஓராயிரம்
கவிதை நான் எழுதுவேன்
காற்றில் நானே
In your gaze, a thousand
In your gaze, a thousand
I myself will write poems in the air
உன் பார்வையில் ஓராயிரம்
கவிதை நான் எழுதுவேன்
காற்றில் நானே
நிதமும் உன்னை நினைக்கிறேன்
நினைவினாலே அணைக்கிறேன்
In your gaze, a thousand
I myself will write poems in the air
I think of you every single day
I embrace you through my thoughts
ஆண்
: உன் பார்வையில் ஓராயிரம்
கவிதை நான் எழுதுவேன்
காற்றில் நானே
In your gaze, a thousand
I myself will write poems in the air
அசைத்து இசைத்தது
வளைக்கரம்தான்
இசைந்து இசைத்தது
புது ஸ்வரம்தான்
The bangled hand moved and played music
It harmonized and struck a new musical note
சிரித்த சிரிப்பொலி
சிலம்பொலிதான்
கழுத்தில் இருப்பது
வலம்புரிதான்
The sound of your laughter is like tinkling anklets
The ornament around your neck is a sacred right-facing conch
இருக்கும் வரைக்கும் எடுத்துக்கொடுக்கும்
இருக்கும் வரைக்கும் எடுத்துக்கொடுக்கும்
மனதை மயிலிடம் இழந்தேனே
மயங்கி தினம் தினம் விழுந்தேனே
It gives generously as long as it exists
It gives generously as long as it exists
I lost my heart to the peacock-like beauty
Swooning, I fell day after day
மறந்து.....இருந்து
பறந்து தினம் மகிழ....
Forgetting... remaining...
Flying high to rejoice daily...
உன் பார்வையில் ஓராயிரம்
கவிதை நான் எழுதுவேன்
காற்றில் நானே
நிதமும் உன்னை நினைக்கிறேன்
நினைவினாலே அணைக்கிறேன்
In your gaze, a thousand
I myself will write poems in the air
I think of you every single day
I embrace you through my thoughts
உன் பார்வையில் ஓராயிரம்
கவிதை நான் எழுதுவேன்
காற்றில் நானே
In your gaze, a thousand
I myself will write poems in the air
அணைத்து நனைந்தது தலையணைதான்
அடுத்த அடியென்ன எடுப்பது நான்
படுக்கை விரித்தது உனக்கெனத்தான்
இடுப்பை வளைத்தெனை அணைத்திடத்தான்
Embracing it, the pillow got soaked
What next step should I take?
The bed was spread out just for you
To curve around your waist and embrace you
நினைக்க மறந்தாய் தனித்துப் பறந்தேன்
நினைக்க மறந்தாய் தனித்துப் பறந்தேன்
மறைத்த முகத்திரை திறப்பாயோ
திறந்து அகசிறை இருப்பாயோ
இருந்து விருந்து இரண்டு மனம் இணைய
You forgot to think of me, so I flew alone
You forgot to think of me, so I flew alone
Will you lift the veil hiding your face?
Opening up, will you become the inner prison of love?
Staying and feasting, as two hearts unite
உன் பார்வையில் ஓராயிரம்
கவிதை நான் எழுதுவேன்
காற்றில் நானே
நிதமும் உன்னை நினைக்கிறேன்
நினைவினாலே அணைக்கிறேன்
In your gaze, a thousand
I myself will write poems in the air
I think of you every single day
I embrace you through my thoughts
உன் பார்வையில் ஓராயிரம்
கவிதை நான் எழுதுவேன்
காற்றில் நானே
In your gaze, a thousand

Ninaivinaalae anaikiren
I embrace you through my thoughts
Un paarvaiyil oraayiram
In your gaze, a thousand
Kavithai naan ezhuthuven kaatril naanae
I myself will write poems in the air
Asaithu isaiththathu valaikaramdhaan
The bangled hand moved and played music
Isaindhu isaiththathu pudhu swaramdhaan
It harmonized and struck a new musical note
Siritha sirippoli silambolidhaan
The sound of your laughter is like tinkling anklets
Kazhuthil irupadhu valampuridhaan
The ornament around your neck is a sacred right-facing conch
Irukum varaikum eduthukodukkum
It gives generously as long as it exists
Irukum varaikum eduthukodukkum
It gives generously as long as it exists
Manadhai mayilidam izhanthenae
I lost my heart to the peacock-like beauty
Mayangi thinam thinam vizhunthenae
Swooning, I fell day after day
Marandhu…irundhu
Forgetting... remaining...
Parandhu thinam magizha…
Flying high to rejoice daily...

You forgot to think of me, so I flew alone
