{ உன்னை
பார்த்த பின்பு கண்ணில்
தூக்கம் ஏது அன்பே அன்பே
வானம் பார்த்த பின்பு பூமி
பூத்ததிங்கு அன்பே அன்பே } (2)
After seeing you
Where is sleep in my eyes.. my love?
My love...
After looking at the sky
The earth bloomed here, my love
My love...
நீர் விட்ட பின்பு
வேர்விட்ட அன்பு
வாடக்கூடாது அன்பே
வாடியதென்ன வசந்தங்கள்
வந்து பூக்கள் பூக்கும் முன்பே
After watering it
Love that has taken root
Should not wither, my love..
Why has it withered, even when spring arrived
Before the flowers could bloom...
உன்னை
பார்த்த பின்பு கண்ணில்
தூக்கம் ஏது அன்பே அன்பே
After seeing you
Where is sleep in my eyes.. my love?
My love...
கொட்டும்
மழையினில் காதலி
போனால் குடைபோல
செல்வன் கூட திருவடி
நடக்கையில் வலித்தாலே
தோளில் தாங்குவான்
In the pouring rain
If the beloved walks
He will accompany her like an umbrella
If her tender feet hurt while walking
He will support her on his shoulders
வண்ண கூந்தலில்
காதலி சூட உயிர் பூவை
கேட்டால் கூட எடுத்துக்கொள்
பறித்துக்கொள் உயிர் தோழி
என்றே கூறுவான்
To adorn her colorful hair
Even if she asks for the flower of life itself
Take it, pluck it, my soulmate
Thus he will say
காதல் என்பது
கடவுள் போன்றது உள்ள
போதும் எல்லை என்று
அதை என்ன தோன்றுதே
What love is
Is like God
That even while possessing it, there is no boundary
Such a thought arises
உன்னை
பார்த்த பின்பு கண்ணில்
தூக்கம் ஏது அன்பே அன்பே
வானம் பார்த்த பின்பு பூமி
பூத்ததிங்கு அன்பே அன்பே
After seeing you
Where is sleep in my eyes.. my love?
My love...
After looking at the sky
The earth bloomed here, my love
My love...
நீர் விட்ட பின்பு
வேர்விட்ட அன்பு
வாடக்கூடாது அன்பே
வாடியதென்ன வசந்தங்கள்
வந்து பூக்கள் பூக்கும் முன்பே
After watering it
Love that has taken root
Should not wither, my love..
Why has it withered, even when spring arrived
Before the flowers could bloom...
உன்னை
பார்த்த பின்பு கண்ணில்
தூக்கம் ஏது அன்பே அன்பே
வானம் பார்த்த பின்பு பூமி
