வசீகரா என்
நெஞ்சினிக்க உன் பொன்
மடியில் தூங்கினால் போதும்
அதே கணம் என் கண்ணுறங்கா
முன் ஜென்மங்களின் ஏக்கங்கள் தீரும்
Oh charmer, sweetening my heart
It is enough if I sleep on your golden lap
The very instant my eyes close in sleep
The longings of my past lives will be fulfilled
வசீகரா என்
நெஞ்சினிக்க உன் பொன்
மடியில் தூங்கினால் போதும்
அதே கணம் என் கண்ணுறங்கா
முன் ஜென்மங்களின் ஏக்கங்கள்
தீரும் நான் நேசிப்பதும் சுவாசிப்பதும்
உன் தயவால் தானே ஏங்குகிறேன்
தேங்குகிறேன் உன் நினைவால் நானே நான்
Oh charmer, sweetening my heart
It is enough if I sleep on your golden lap
The very instant my eyes close in sleep
The longings of my past lives will be fulfilled
That I love and breathe is only by your grace
I yearn and remain immersed in your memories, just me
அடை மழை
வரும் அதில் நனைவோமே
குளிா் காய்ச்சலோடு சிநேகம்
ஒரு போா்வைக்குள் இரு தூக்கம்
குளு குளு பொய்கள் சொல்லி
என்னை வெல்வாய் அது
தொிந்தும் கூட அன்பே மனம்
அதையேதான் எதிா்பாா்க்கும்
எங்கேயும் போகாமல் தினம்
வீட்டிலேயே நீ வேண்டும்
சில சமயம் விளையாட்டாய்
உன் ஆடைக்குள்ளே நான் வேண்டும்
Heavy rain will fall, and we shall get drenched in it
Friendship/romance amid the cold fever
Two sleeps underneath a single blanket
You conquer me by telling sweet lies
Even knowing that, my love
The heart expects only that
Without going anywhere, I want you at home every day
Sometimes playfully, I want to be inside your clothes
வசீகரா என்
நெஞ்சினிக்க உன் பொன்
மடியில் தூங்கினால் போதும்
அதே கணம் என் கண்ணுறங்கா
முன் ஜென்மங்களின் ஏக்கங்கள் தீரும்
தீரும் தீரும்…
Oh charmer, sweetening my heart
It is enough if I sleep on your golden lap
The very instant my eyes close in sleep
The longings of my past lives will be fulfilled
Will be fulfilled, will be fulfilled..
தினம் நீ குளித்ததும்
என்னை தேடி என் சேலை
நுனியால் உந்தன் தலை
துடைப்பாயே அது கவிதை
திருடன் போல் பதுங்கியே
திடீரென்று பின்னாலிருந்து
என்னை நீ அணைப்பாயே அது
கவிதை யாரேனும் மணி
கேட்டால் அதை சொல்லக்கூடத்
தொியாதே காதலெனும் முடிவிலியில்
கடிகார நேரம் கிடையாதே
Every day after you bathe, seeking me out
With the edge of my saree, your...
...head you will wipe, that is poetry
Sneaking up like a thief, suddenly
Hugging me from behind, that is poetry
If anyone asks for the time, I wouldn't even know how to tell
In the endless space called love, there is no clock time
வசீகரா என்
நெஞ்சினிக்க உன் பொன்
மடியில் தூங்கினால் போதும்
அதே கணம் என் கண்ணுறங்கா
முன் ஜென்மங்களின் ஏக்கங்கள்
தீரும் நான் நேசிப்பதும் சுவாசிப்பதும்
உன் தயவால் தானே ஏங்குகிறேன்
தேங்குகிறேன் உன் நினைவால் நானே நான்
Oh charmer, sweetening my heart
It is enough if I sleep on your golden lap
The very instant my eyes close in sleep
The longings of my past lives will be fulfilled
That I love and breathe is only by your grace
I yearn and remain immersed in your memories, just me
Vaseegaraa en nenjinikka
Oh charmer, sweetening my heart
Un pon madiyil thoonginaal podhum
It is enough if I sleep on your golden lap
Adhae kanam en kannuranga
The very instant my eyes close in sleep
Mun jenmangalin yeakkangal theerum
The longings of my past lives will be fulfilled
Vaseegaraa en nenjinikka
Oh charmer, sweetening my heart

It is enough if I sleep on your golden lap
Adhae kanam en kannuranga
The very instant my eyes close in sleep
Mun jenmangalin yeakkangal theerum

Naan nesippadhum suvaasippadhum un dhayavaal thaanae
That I love and breathe is only by your grace
Aengugiren thengugiren un ninaivaal naanae naan
I yearn and remain immersed in your memories, just me
Adai mazhai varum adhil nanaivoamae
Heavy rain will fall, and we shall get drenched in it
Kulir kaaychaloodu snegam
Friendship/romance amid the cold fever
Oru poarvaikkul iru thookkam
Two sleeps underneath a single blanket
Kulu kulu poigal solli ennai velvaai
You conquer me by telling sweet lies
Adhu therindhum kooda anbae
Even knowing that, my love
Manam adhaiyaedhaan edhirpaarkkum
