Translation of Kadhal Vaithu from Deepavali

Love Sunk

I awaited embracing all the love and desire,

trying to sieve your voice in the air…

In your mirth I realized music.

In your drift I realized direction.

I fell into the sea of love,

but remained afloat even after I was ashore.

Your moves made me move.

Alas! I vanished beautifully and seen nowhere.

Every time I heard the fairy tales,

I dismissed them to be farce.

But when my eyes met yours,

they fathomed it cannot be false.

My dainty mornings arise

with the sweet hope of seeing you.

My dusky evenings set

with the intoxication of having seen you.

The day I saw you

Mesmerizes me like the day of my dawn.

The words I spoke to you

echoes deep down inside my heart.

You made me

speak to the sea,

and

sham the concept of time.

You made me

bathe with the rain

and

celebrate the sun.
