ஹ்ம்ம்ம்.....
வா வெள்ளை ராசத்தியே
மேகம் இறங்கி வந்தால்....
மண்ணில் பசி இருக்கும்
சொந்தம் இறங்கி வந்தால்....
வாழ்வில் ருசி இருக்கும்
நேசம் கொண்ட நெஞ்சம்....
நிலை பாடு மாறாதடி.....
வானத்தின் ....ம்ம்ம்...ம்ம்ம்.......உயரம்....
கூடுமா....குறையுமா
Hmmmm….
Come, my fair princess...
If the rain cloud descends..
The earth will regain its moisture
If loved ones descend into our life..
Life will have true flavor and sweetness
A heart that holds genuine affection…
Its steadfast nature will never change, my dear..
The height of the sky… mm.. mm..
Can it ever increase… or decrease…?
மேகம் இறங்கி வந்தால்
மண்ணில் பசை இருக்கும்....ம்ம்ம்...ம்ம்....
If the rain cloud descends
The earth will regain its moisture… mm… mm….
அன்பின் கண்ணில்
குற்றம் இல்லை
குற்றம் பார்த்தால் அங்கே அன்பில்லை
பார்க்கும் எதுவும் சிறிது இல்லை
பனித்துளி கூட
எறும்பின் கடல்தானே
அன்பில் சிறிது பெரிது கிடையாதே
ஆற்றில் சகல துளியும் சமமே
In the eyes of love
There is no fault
If one seeks faults, there is no love there
Nothing that one observes is insignificant
Even a single drop of dew
Is indeed a vast ocean to an ant
In love, there is no concept of big or small
In a river, every single drop of water is equal
வேதம் சொல்ல
ஒருவர் போதும்
பாசம் சொல்ல பலபேர் வேண்டாமா
எங்கோ பிறந்தோம்
இங்கே சேர்ந்தோம்
நிறங்கள் கூடி ஓவியம் ஆவோமா
பச்சை கிளியின் சிறகு நரைக்காதே....
அன்பில துடிக்கும் இதயம் உறுமும்....
To preach holy scriptures
One person is sufficient
To express boundless love, shouldn't there be many people?
We were born somewhere far apart
Yet we joined together right here
Shall various colors unite to become a beautiful painting?
A green parrot's wings do not turn gray with age…
A heart throbbing with love will forever melt with tenderness…
மேகம் இறங்கி வந்தால்...
மண்ணில் பசி இருக்கும்
சொந்தம் இறங்கி வந்தால்....
வாழ்வில் ருசி இருக்கும்
நேசம் கொண்ட நெஞ்சம்....
நிலை பாடு மாறாதடி.....
வானத்தின் ....ம்ம்ம்...ம்ம்ம்.....உயரம்....
