கன்னி வெடிகளை பொதைத்த நிலத்திலே
காதல் கானல் நீர் தானே.....தானே
கண்கள் சுமந்திடும் கனவு முழுவதும்
எங்கள் விடுதலைதானே
In the land where landmines are buried
Is love merely a mirage... a mirage?
Every dream carried within our eyes
Is solely our liberation
இந்த வேரின் அழுகைதான்
வெளியில் தெரியுமா
காதல் எனக்குதான் உயிரே
எம் வாசல் கதவிலே
சோக தோரணம்
மீட்கதான் இந்த உணர்வே
Will the weeping of this deep root
Be visible to the outside world?
Give me love, my darling soul
At the doorstep of our house
Hangs a festive garland of sorrow
Give me this feeling to awaken/rescue me
சொந்த ஊர் நிலம்
வெந்து போகுதே
நின்று கொடுக்கிறேன் தோலை
சிந்தும் குருதியில்
யாவும் கரையுதே
நாளை புலரருமே காலை
The soil of our ancestral hometown
Is burning to ashes
I stand firm and endure the burden
In the spilled blood
Everything dissolves away
Tomorrow morning will dawn bright anew
விடி வானமே விடிவாகுமே
என் வாழ்வே அன்பு அன்பே
விடி வானமே விடிவாகுமே
என் வாழ்வே அன்பு அன்பே
விரல் ஏங்குதே உன்னைச் சேரவே
