இந்த பெண்போல
அழகான பூவொன்று
உள்ளதா
Who is this angel? Who is this angel?
There are ten million flowers across the entire world,
Is there a flower as beautiful as this girl?

...............................
பனிகூட உன்மேல்
படும் வேளையில் குளிா்
தாங்கிடாமல் தேகம்
நடுங்குமே மலா்கூட
உன்னை தொடும் வேளையில்
பூ என்று தானே சூட நினைக்குமே
When even the dew falls upon you,
Unable to bear the chill, your body shivers.
When even a flower touches you,
It desires to wear you on itself as a flower.
அமுதம் உண்டு
வாழ்ந்தால் ஆயுள்
முடிவதில்லை உன்
அழகை பாா்த்து வாழ்ந்தால்
அமுதம் தேவை இல்லை
உன்னை தேடும்போது இதயம்
இங்கு சுகமாக தொலைந்ததே
If one lives drinking nectar, lifetime never ends,
If one lives gazing at your beauty, nectar is not needed.
While searching for you, my heart was pleasantly lost here.

அன்பே உன் கண்கள்
சுழல் என்கிறேன் அதனாலே
அங்கே மூழ்கி போகிறேன்
அன்பே உன் பேரை
படகென்கிறேன் அதை
சொல்லிதானே கரையை
சோ்கிறேன்
My love, I call your eyes a whirlpool,
And that is why I am drowning in them.
My love, I call your name a boat,
And only by chanting it do I reach the shore.
உன் கொலுசின்
ஓசை கேட்க தங்க
மணிகள் கோா்ப்பேன்
அதில் இரண்டு குறைந்து
போனால் கண்ணின் மணிகள்
சோ்ப்பேன் உன்னை தீவு போல
காத்து நிற்க கடலாக மாறுவேன்
To hear the chime of your anklets, I will string golden beads,
If two are short, I will attach my own pupils instead.
To surround and guard you like an island, I will turn into the ocean.
