Medhu MedhuvaiSlowly, slowly.
Ennai IzhantheneI’ve lost myself.
Izhanthathil Pudhu Sugam UnarntheneI’ve found a new pleasure in that loss.
VelichaththilumEven in the light.
Nan TholaintheneI’ve lost my way.
Vanaththin Tholgalil VizhuntheneI’ve fallen into heaven’s embrace.
Mudhan MuthalaiFor the very first time.
Vetkam Ennai VizhungiyatheShyness has completely swallowed me.
NadukkaththileIn this trembling state.
Kangal Rendum Kadhakali AdidaBoth my eyes are dancing like ‘Kathakali’. (‘Kathakali’ is a classical Indian dance known for its highly expressive eye movements).
Medhu MedhuvaiSlowly, slowly.
Ennai IzhantheneI’ve lost myself.
Izhanthathil Pudhu Sugam UnarntheneI’ve found a new pleasure in that loss.
VelichaththilumEven in the light.
Nan TholaintheneI’ve lost my way.
Vanaththin Tholgalil VizhuntheneI’ve fallen into heaven’s embrace.
Nee Vazhum VeettinThe direction of the house.
DhisaithanWhere you live.
Enthan KizhakkagiHas become my east.
Ennai Dhinam EzhuppiyatheIt wakes me up every single day.
Ennai Thandi NeeyumWhen you pass by me.
Siru Thooram PogumAnd walk a little distance away.
Dhisai Merkai MarutheThat direction turns into my west.
Nee Veesi SendraJust a glance you cast.
Oru ParvaithanAs you walked away.
Uyir Vazha VendumMade me want to live.
Ena ThoondiyatheIt’s what truly inspired my life.
Ennalum UnthanAlways, just your.
Nizhal Mattum PothumShadow is enough for me.
En Ullam VendutheMy heart pleads for it.
ThanimaigalaAre these moments of solitude?
Ennai Kollum ThavanaigalaOr are they torments that kill me?
ThalaivanaiyeMy beloved one.
Enni Enni Uruguthu ManamithuMy heart melts, thinking of him constantly.
VelichaththilumEven in the light.
Nan TholaintheneI’ve lost my way.
Vanaththin Tholgalil VizhuntheneI’ve fallen into heaven’s embrace.
Medhu MedhuvaiSlowly, slowly.
Ennai IzhantheneI’ve lost myself.
Izhanthathil Pudhu Sugam UnarntheneI’ve found a new pleasure in that loss.
Iravodu KonjamA little with the night.
Nilavodu KonjamA little with the moon.
Unthan Moochin KatraiYou’ve gently mingled.
Mella Kalanthu VittaiThe very air of your breath.
Paduthalum PayaiEven when I lie down.
Madithalum PonaiEven when I turn away.
En Thookkam PonatheMy sleep has vanished.
Kanavennum AttrilWhen I’m drowning.
Nan MoozhgumbothuIn the river of dreams.
Karai Serkka NeelumIsn’t it your hand.
Karam UnathallavaThat reaches out to pull me to shore?
Ninaivennum TheeyilWhen I’m burning.
Nan VegumbothuIn the fire of memories.
Mazhai Thanthai MannavaYou gave me rain, my king.
ThalaiyanaiyaAs a pillow.
Kannam Ennum ThamaraiyaMy cheek, the lotus.
Thavamirunthal InnumIf I meditate further.
Enna Kidaiththidum KidaiththidumWhat more will I gain, what more will I gain?
VelichaththilumEven in the light.
Nan TholaintheneI’ve lost my way.
Vanaththin Tholgalil VizhuntheneI’ve fallen into heaven’s embrace.
Medhu MedhuvaiSlowly, slowly.
Ennai IzhantheneI’ve lost myself.
Izhanthathil Pudhu Sugam UnarntheneI’ve found a new pleasure in that loss.
