Natural beauty
A feast of youth
Isn't this the age to serve it?
What is the obstacle to enjoying it here?
இயற்கை அழகு
இளமை விருந்து
படைக்கும் வயதல்லவோ..
இங்கு ரசிக்க தடை என்னவோ
Thinking of you
Forgetting herself
Growing inside her heart
Suffering in longing
She flies away somewhere
இவள் உன்னை நினைத்து
தன்னை மறந்து
நெஞ்சில் வளர்ந்து
எண்ணம் தவித்து
எங்கோ பறக்கிறாள்
Blooming with age
Pleasures of spring
Nurture life
Everything feels sweet when remembered
Even if searched for, the answer cannot be found
வயதில் அரும்பும்
வசந்த சுகங்கள் வாழ்வை வளர்கின்றது
நினைத்தால் யாவும் இனிக்கின்றது...
The calculation of a young heart
Calculation of the heart
Is always sweet
விடைத்தேடி
பார்த்தாலும் கிடைக்காதது
In the heaven called life
By your side
I must come
To experience bliss
I need that boon..
இள நெஞ்சின் கணக்கு
நெஞ்சின் கணக்கு
என்றும் இனிக்குது
Written by the heart
The entire poetry
Are love stories, my dear
Youthful flowers will bloom, my dear
வாழ்வென்னும் சொர்க்கத்தில்
உந்தன் பக்கத்தில்
நான் வரவேண்டும்
சுகம் பெற வேண்டும்
அந்த வரம் வேண்டும்
This evening trance
Morning sleep
Entrancing the person
Entrancing the town
The right time has arrived

Chilly northern breeze
And a languishing body
Torments me, my dear
Feeds thoughts of my king
An unstoppable
Story indeed, my dear
இதயம் எழுதும் கவிதை
முழுதும் காதல் கதைகளடி
இளமை மலர்கள் மலருமடி
The calculation of a young heart
Calculation of the heart
Is always sweet
இது மாலை மயக்கம்
காலை உறக்கம்
ஆளை மயக்கும் ஊரே
மயங்கும் வேளை பிறந்ததே
In the heaven called life
By your side
I must come
To experience bliss
I need that boon..
வாடை குளிரும்
வாடும் உடலும்
என்னை வாட்டுதடி
மன்னன் நினைவை ஊட்டுதடி
