Don't speak another word please...






மறுவார்த்தை பேசாதே, மடிமீது நீ தூங்கிடு,
இமைபோல நான் காக்க கனவாய் நீ மாறிடு

Sleep in my lap, don't utter another word,
blossom as a dream while I shelter your world...

மயில்தோகை போலே விரல் உன்னை வருடும்,
மனப்பாடமாய் உரையாடல் நிகழும்...

Fingers caresses you as of a peacock feather touch,
we speak in tandem as a memorized speech.

விழிநீரும் வீணாக இமை தாண்டக்கூடாதென
துளியாக நான் சேர்த்தேன் கடலாகக் கண்ணானதே

Don't like you cry, even a single teardrop from your eye,
When collected all those drops, like an ocean is my eye!

மறந்தாலும் நான் உன்னை நினைக்காத நாளில்லையே
பிரிந்தாலும் என் அன்பு ஒருபோதும் பொய் இல்லையே...

Never forgot to remember you even a single day,
Even we are departed, my love is never a lie...

பிரியாமல் உன்னைத்தொடர்ந்தே நான் வருவேன்,
நிழலென்று நீ அழைத்தாலும் சரியே சரிதான்

Girl, call me as your shadow,
As the name suggests, will follow...

விடியாத காலைகள் முடியாத மாலைகளில்,
வடியாத வேர்வைத்துளிகள், பிரியாத போர்வை நொடிகள்

endless evenings... unknown mornings,
stayed unbroken under the bed-sheet, together in sweat...

மணி காட்டும் கடிகாரம் தரும் வாதை அறிந்தோம்
உடைமாற்றும் இடைவேளை அதன் பின்பே உணர்ந்தோம்

Clock was a villain to us,
it reminds us it is time, to get dressed...

மறவாதே மனம் முடிந்தாலும் வரும்
முதல் நீ, முடிவும் நீ, அலர் நீ, அகிலம் நீ

I'll never forget you, even when you are gone...
because you are the first, last, my hope and the globe!

உனக்காகத்தானே உயிர்தாங்கி இருந்தேன்
உனைப் பார்த்தபின் உடைந்தே நான் அழுதேன்

I was keep on breathing for you,
Broke into tears when I saw you...

தொலைதூரம் சென்றாலும் தொடுவானம் என்றாலும், நீ
விழியோரம்தானே மறைந்தாய், உயிரோடு முன்பே கலந்தாய்

Now that you have gone faraway, deep in the sky...
But you are just gone from my eyesight, joined hands in my soul long before...

இதழ் எனும் மலர் கொண்டு கடிதங்கள் வரைந்தாய்
பதில் நானும் தருமுன்பே கனவாகி கலைந்தாய்

You have written lot of letters to me,
but have become a dream even before I reply...

பிடிவாதம் பிடி சினம் தீரும் அடி
இழந்தோம் எழில்கோலம் இனிமேல் மழைக்காலம்

your anger will be gone by being contrary,
But hereafter it is our rainy days... lost is our beauty...

Let her go

I was reading Chetan Bhagat's recent book, "One Indian Girl".
The story is nicely narrated, and there was a song the protagonist of the story was referring to:
It is "Let her Go" from Passenger!

The song has beautiful and "Meaningful" lyrics. I love it.

Hence, thought of sharing it.
Thanks Chetan Bhagat for introducing this song, and I love this line: "Only know you love her when you let her go."

Here is the song lyrics :

Well, you only need the light when it's burning low,
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow,
Only know you love her when you let her go.

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go...
And you let her go.

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow, and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow, and it goes so fast

Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
Cause you loved her too much, and you dived too deep

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go ooooh ooooh oh no

And you let her go
oh no

Well you let her go

Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go!
