I have wept night and day,
Both my eyes have faded and grown weary.
Forty days have dawned,
And I have grown as thin as a dry straw.
This sickness of longing refuses to heal,
My tear-dimmed eyes are aching with sorrow.
To hold my hand,
Come to me, my hero.
The dimple on my cheek lies parched and dry,
Come to me, my hero.
Let this ache in my heart slowly fade away,
Come... my hero...
The dimple on my cheek lies parched and dry,
Come... oh, please come,
Like rain showering upon a peacock's feathers...
Like a gentle storm in your breath,
My love, come...
Hold me tight against your chest,
Lean into me a little,
Savor me gently, taking your time.
My king, am I not
Your very own rose? In your heart,
Plant me like a seed,
Hold me close in an embrace,
Wrap your arms around me freely.
Won't they linger on and stretch longer,
The moments when you touch me?
What does it matter if a hundred lifetimes pass?
You alone belong to me.
Come to me, my hero.
The dimple on my cheek lies parched and dry,
Come to me, my hero.
Let this ache in my heart slowly fade away,
Come... my hero...
The dimple on my cheek lies parched and dry,
Come... oh, please come,
Like rain showering upon a peacock's feathers...
Come to me, my hero...
Karthigai (late-autumn Tamil month) has passed,
Margazhi (winter Tamil month) has arrived,
And even the chilly winter breeze
Burns hot like a blazing fire.
The river trembles with longing,
Yearning and restless,
Unable to flow forward.
From this deep yearning of a woman,
Who stands to gain anything?
Caught in a storm,
My soul flutters like a dry leaf,
Wandering in search of you,
Without ever resting.
A flowering vine cannot live
Without the gentle touch of the breeze.
Like a rainbow spreading across the open sky,
Won't my world brighten because of you?
Come to me, my hero.
The dimple on my cheek lies parched and dry,
Come to me, my hero.
Let this ache in my heart slowly fade away,
Come... my hero...
The dimple on my cheek lies parched and dry,
Come... oh, please come,
Like rain showering upon a peacock's feathers...
