வெள்ளை மயில்
வெண்நிலாவில் கூத்தாட
ஒரு கன்னி புயல்
கண்களுக்குள் காத்தாட
உன்னை காதல் என்ற வார்த்தையாலே
சொல்லி சொல்லி நான் பாட
A white peacock dances under the moonlight
A virgin storm sways like wind inside the eyes
With the word called love for you
I keep singing again and again
ஏழு வண்ண
பட்டாம் பூச்சி அழகோடு
உன் சொல்லுக்காக
காத்திருப்பேன் உயிரோடு
நான் காதல் என்ற கூட்டுக்குள்ளே
வாழ வேண்டும் உன்னோடு
With the beauty of a seven-colored butterfly
I will stay alive waiting for your word
Inside this nest called love
I wish to live with you..
ஆசை நினைவடி
இது ஆறாம் பிறையடி
உனை கண்டேன் ஒரு நோடி
அது காதல் முதற் படி
Memories of desire, my dear
This is the sixth crescent phase, my dear
I saw you for a single moment
That became the first step of love
மீசை புல்லின் மேல்
இவள் முத்தம் பனி துளி
ஹே ஹே ஹே ..ஏ ஏ
இரு இதயம் சேரவே
ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ
இனி இல்லை இடைவெளி
Upon the grass blade of a mustache
Her kiss is a dewdrop..
Male :Hey hey hey….ey ey
Female :For two hearts to unite
Male :Ho ho hooo
Female :There is no space or distance anymore..

Female :Hai yai yae…
ஹை யை யே
Brindavan.. the sky does not sleep
The humming bee
Wants to be held in my hand..
பிருந்தாவனம் ...
தூங்காது வானம்
ரீங்கரம் பாடும் வண்டு
எந்தன் கையோடு வேண்டும்
My breath crows like a night fowl
Woven with the threads of palm lines
It became the pallu of my saree…
ராக்கோழியாய் கூவுது முச்சு
கை ரேகை நூலில் நெய்த
சேலை முந்தானையாச்சு
Fleshy moon, inside my heart
Shall I keep you concealed like a seed?
Like an elephant in rut
Even after the pond of the mind turns to hot water
Flowers keep blooming..
சதை நிலா உன்னை நெஞ்சிலே
விதை என மூடி வைக்கவா
மதம் பிடித்தாடும் யானையாய்
மனக்குளம் வெந்நீர் ஆன
பின்பு கூட பூ பூக்குதே
Even if three hundred clouds surround
The third crescent moon, this moon
Will become your looking glass….
மூன்றாம் பிறை
முந்நூறு மேகம்
சூழ்ந்தாழும் இந்த திங்கள்
உந்தன் கண்ணாடியாகும்
Joyous passion to the maximum extent
If looked up at, my
Love becomes the vast sky…
ஆனவரை ஆனந்த மோகம்
அன்னார்ந்து பார்த்தால் எந்தன்
காதல் ஆகாயம் ஆகும்
If rain drops stay in the sky
Will the sandy desert become wet?
I called it taste and delight
Plucking the flower called the first kiss
He will kiss with passion…
மழைத்துளி வானில் தங்கினால்
மணல்வெளி ஈரமாகுமா
சுவை சுவை என்று கூறினேன்
முதல் முதல் முத்தம் என்னும்
பூவை கிள்ளி முத்தாடவா...
Upon the grass blade of a mustache
Her kiss is a dewdrop..
Male :Hey hey hey….ey ey
Female :For two hearts to unite
Male :Ho ho hooo
Female :There is no space or distance anymore..
