கடித்தத்தின் வேடத்தில் இதயமா
மை வாசம் போல் வீசும் விரலின் வாசம்
விருத்தாலே பூ பூக்கும் இமையமா
சொல்யாவும் விண்மீன் குரலில் பேசும்
Is it a heart in the rhythm of a letter?
The fragrance of fingers wafts like the scent of ink.
Is it a snow-peaked mountain where flowers bloom at a touch?
Do all words speak in a voice of stars?
விழிகளை திறக்கும் உன்னாலே
உலகினை பார்க்கும் உன்னாலே
ஆண் : சிரித்திடும் சேய் போல ஆனேனே
நானும் பெண்ணே உன்னாலே
Before opening my eyes,
Before seeing the world,
Like a smiling infant,
I became one too, oh girl, because of you.
உறையும் தீயில் மழையாய் வீழ்ந்து
உயிரை தூண்ட வந்தாயா
வெடிக்கும் போர்க்களத்தில்
வெண்புறா வென்றானாயா.. பெண்ணே
As rain upon a freezing fire,
Falling,
Did you come to kindle my soul?
In an exploding battlefield,
Did you become a white dove, oh girl?
உறையும் தீயில் மழையாய் வீழ்ந்து
உயிரை தூண்ட வந்தாயா
வெடிக்கும் போர்க்களத்தில்
வெண்புறா வென்றானாயா.. பெண்ணே
As rain upon a freezing fire,
Falling,
Did you come to kindle my soul?
In an exploding battlefield,
Did you become a white dove, oh girl?
உறையும் தீயில் மழையாய் வீழ்ந்து
உயிரை தூண்ட வந்தாயா
வெடிக்கும் போர்க்களத்தில்
வெண்புறா வென்றானாயா.. பெண்ணே
Would a flower garden
Write a letter?
Do all the streams write?
As the ink of a pen,
Would the ocean itself become?
Would the clouds shower songs?
Without seeing your face,
Without hearing your voice,
Through seven births with you,
I shall live without this intoxication ever fading.

As rain upon a freezing fire,
Falling,
Did you come to kindle my soul?
In an exploding battlefield,
Did you become a white dove, oh girl?
பூந்தோட்டம் ஒன்று கடிதம் தீட்டுமா
நீரோடை எல்லாம் எழுதுமா
பேனாவின் மையாய் கடலே ஆகுமா
மேகங்கள் பாடல் பொழியுமா
முகத்தினை பார்க்காமல்
குரலினை கேட்காமல்
பிறவிகள் ஏழேழு உன்னோடு
வாழ்வேன் போதை தீராமல்
As rain upon a freezing fire,
Falling,
Did you come to kindle my soul?
In an exploding battlefield,
Did you become a white dove, oh girl?
