நீரில்லா நிலமாகி போனேன்
வேரில்லா மரமாகி போனேன்
காற்றில்லா தீயாகி போனேனே
நீரில்லா நிலமாகி போனேன்
வேரில்லா மரமாகி போனேன்
காற்றில்லா தீயாகி போனேனே
I became a land without water
I became a tree without roots
I became a fire without air
I became a land without water
I became a tree without roots
I became a fire without air
மயங்குகிறேன் உன் விழியில்
நீ போதும் என் வழியில்
சேர்ந்துவிடு என் உயிரில்
நீதானே என் விடியல்
I am swooning in your eyes
You are enough on my path
Merge into my soul
You alone are my dawn
விலகாதே அன்பே நீயும்
நீதான் என் நிஜமுமடி
உன்னுடைய நிழலாய் இருந்தும்
தனியாக நிக்குறேன்டி
தலைக்கோதும் உந்தன் மடியில்
நான் சாய வேண்டுமடி
உன்னருகில் வாழ்ந்தால் போதும்
என் சாபம் தீருமடி
Do not move away, my love
You alone are my reality, dear girl
Even though I am your shadow
I am standing alone, dear girl
To caress my hair, on your lap
I want to lean, dear girl
It is enough if I live near you
My curse will be lifted, dear girl
வசனம் :
.............................
Hmm....
The moon that hides seeing me
You are my dream that never fades
Before closing my eyes to sleep
Paths unite
ஹ்ம்ம்.....
என்னை பார்த்து மறையும் நிலவு
கலையாத நீ என் கனவு
விழிமூடி தூங்கும் முன்னே
வலி சேருதே
O ray of sun burning for me
You gave light to my life
Without you my earth turned dark
எனக்காக எரியும் கதிரே
என் வாழ்வில் ஒளி தந்தாயே
நீ இன்றி என் பூமி இருளானதே
Even the rain that reaches the soil
Wants to reach the sky
For us to join as a drop
An ocean is needed
மண் சேரும் மழை கூட
வான் சேர வேண்டுமே
ஒரு துளி நாம் சேர
கடல் வேண்டுமே
Love is not a lie
Time is not the truth
Until I see you
Truth does not exist here
காதல் பொய்யில்லையே
காலம் நீ இல்லையே
உன்னை தாங்கும் வரை
உண்மை இங்கில்லையே
Does a voice call out
Does it ask for you
Male: Does a voice call out
Does my soul say that it is you...
ஒரு குரல் அலைக்குதோ
அது உன்னை கேட்குதோ
ஒரு குரல் அலைக்குதோ
அது நீ என்று என் உயிர் சொல்லுதோ
Do not move away, my love
You alone are my reality, dear boy
Even though I am your shadow
I am standing alone, dear boy
To caress my hair, on your lap
I want to lean, dear boy
It is enough if I live near you
My curse will be lifted, dear boy
விலகாதே அன்பே நீயும்
நீதான் என் நிஜமுமடா
உன்னுடைய நிழலாய் இருந்தும்
தனியாக நிக்குறேன்டா
தலைக்கோதும் உந்தன் மடியில்
நான் சாய வேண்டுமடா
உன்னருகில் வாழ்ந்தால் போதும்
என் சாபம் தீருமடா
I became a land without water
I became a tree without roots
I became a fire without air
நீரில்லா நிலமாகி போனேன்
வேரில்லா மரமாகி போனேன்
காற்றில்லா தீயாகி போனேனே
Is it a flaw in an incomprehensible poem?
Is love the price paid for a mistake?
If a person is without fault
Are they not God?
வசனம்
: ........................
Is it a wave that never reaches the shore?
Is an angel's heart made of stone?
Does love not melt
Even a stone?
புரியாத கவிதையில் பிழையா
தவறுக்கு காதல் விலையா
பிழை இல்லா மனிதன் என்றால்
இறைவன் இல்லையா
Even the land during a deluge
Will change its form
Even if I am in it
I will reach you
கரைவந்து சேரா அலையா
தேவதையின் இதயம் சிலையா
கல்லை கூட காதல் என்று
கரைப்பதில்லையா
I am a heavy moment burdened with love
I searched for your soul
O soul, do not separate
பிரளயத்தில் நிலம் கூட
நிலை மாறி போகுமே
நான் அதில் இருந்தாலும்
உன்னை சேருவேன்
Come near me
Shall I hold you like a mother?
Male: On your lap
Shall I crawl like a child?
கருவுற்ற கணமே நான்
உன் உயிர் தேடினேன்
உயிரே பிரியாதே
I fell in love with your eyes
I will come along your path
I merged into your soul
You alone, crossing the ocean and rain
Will you come over?
வா அருகிலே
தாயை போல் தாங்கவா
உன் மடியிலே
மழலை போல் தவிழவா
Do not move away, my love
You alone are my reality, dear girl
Even though I am your shadow
I am standing alone, dear girl
To caress my hair, on your lap
I want to lean, dear girl
It is enough if I live near you
My curse will be lifted, dear girl
மயங்கிவிட்டேன் உன் விழியில்
நான் வருவேன் உன் வழியில்
கலந்துவிட்டேன் உன் உயிரில்
நீதானே கடலினை மலையினை
தாண்டியும் வருவாயா
Do not move away, leave and move away
Do not leave me, my love
Do not move away, leave and move away
Do not leave me, my love
விலகாதே அன்பே நீயும்
நீதான் என் நிஜமுமடி
உன்னுடைய நிழலாய் இருந்தும்
தனியாக நிக்குறேன்டி
தலைக்கோதும் உந்தன் மடியில்
நான் சாய வேண்டுமடி
உன்னருகில் வாழ்ந்தால் போதும்
என் சாபம் தீருமடி
..............
Male: Do not move away, leave and move away
Do not leave me, my love
Do not move away, leave and move away
Do not leave ties, my love
விலகாத விட்டு விலகாத
என்னை பிரியாதே அன்பே
விலகாத விட்டு விலகாத
என்னை பிரியாதே அன்பே
........................
விலகாத விட்டு விலகாத
என்னை பிரியாதே அன்பே
விலகாத விட்டு விலகாத
என்னை பிரியாதே அன்பே
