Ohoho ho oooo oooo
The light given by the moon in the sky
is in her eyes.
The sweet taste of honeyed jackfruit
is in her speech.
Could she be Tamil itself?
The world-famed Nile river
is in her walk.
A tender lotus vine
is her slender waist.
Is she a Tamil girl?
To sing of your beauty,
my Tamil language is not enough.
Even if I offer comparisons,
they can never be complete.
You were born
just once,
and in all of His creation,
you are the very finest.
Ohoho ho oo oo
Falling with a cool breeze,
are you a fresh drop of dew?
Are you the very first poem
written by the rain?
Dhim dhim dhim, sweet music
chimes brightly from your anklets!
Dipped in deep blue,
is that sky above
the fine woven dress draped over you?
When a string of pearl-white teeth smiles
and your laughter sparkles,
brand new poems
burst forth and come to light.
O Rathi (goddess of beauty), like a grand chariot
as you walk along,
everywhere on the path you take,
even sharp ground-thorns sway
like blossoming Kurinji flowers.
The fish leaping in the river,
seeing your long eyes,
wonder if you are a fish living on land,
and break into a sweat in wonder!
The light given by the moon in the sky
is in her eyes.
The sweet taste of honeyed jackfruit
is in her speech.
Could she be Tamil itself?
The world-famed Nile river
is in her walk.
A tender lotus vine
is her slender waist.
Is she a Tamil girl?
Day after day in my heart,
picturing your face first,
I cherish it, embracing you with my soul.
O goddess of love, my heart
is truly your temple.
That flame called love,
a single bright lamp
lit by my own thoughts...
Through thunder, lightning, and rain,
and through raging storms,
as long as there is life in me,
this is a lamp that will always shine.
If you ever leave me
even for a single moment,
my eyes will shed tears.
Seeing you in sorrow,
even Nature will ask, "Who is she?"
Creating a woman so beautifully
is the work of Nature.
Knowing that, you still ask me?
Ah, what a playful game this is!
The light given by the moon in the sky
is in her eyes.
The sweet taste of honeyed jackfruit
is in her speech.
Could she be Tamil itself?
The world-famed Nile river
is in her walk.
A tender lotus vine
is her slender waist.
Is she a Tamil girl?
To sing of your beauty,
my Tamil language is not enough.
Even if I offer comparisons,
they can never be complete.
You were born
just once,
and in all of His creation,
you are the very finest.
Ohoho ho oo oo
