Here is another Ilayaraja song. A melody from Solla Thudikuthu Manasu.
**poovae sempoovae un vaasam varum
vaasal en vaasal un poongaavanam
vaay paesidum pullaanguzhal
needhaanoru poovin madal**
(poovae)
Flower, red flower, your fragrance emanates
In front of my house, in your flower garden
Your voice is like a flute
You are an inflorescent missive
**nizhal poala naanum nadai poada neeyum
thodarginra sondham nedungaatha bandham
kadal vaanam kooda niram maarak koodum
manam konda paasam thadam maaridaadhu
naan vaazhum vaazhvae unakkaagaththaanae
naal dhoarum nenjil naan aethum thaenae
ennaalum sangeedham sandhoashamae
vaay paesidum pullaanguzhal
needhaanoru poovin madal**
(poovae)
You are the one who walks, I am your shadow
Your relationship continues, an unwavering bond.
Even the sea and the sky change colour
But a heartfelt affection can never falter
I live my life for you
You are the honey that pours into my heart all day.
Music always brings joy;
Your voice is like a flute
You are an inflorescent missive
**unaippoala naanum oru pillai dhaanae
palar vandhu konjum kilip pillai naanae
unaippoala naalum malar soodum penmai
vidhi ennum noolil vilaiyaadum bommai
naan seydha paavam ennoadu poagum
nee vaazhndhu nandhaan paarththaalae poadhum
ennaalum ennaalum ullaasamae
vaay paesidum pullaanguzhal
needhanoru poovin madal**
(poovae)
Just like you, I am a child too
I am the baby bird that the bees love
You are the woman who wears flowers in her hair everyday
You are the puppet in the hands of fate
The sins I have committed die with me
If I can watch you live a full life, that will be enough for me
Everyday, always, will be joyous
Your voice is like a flute
You are an inflorescent missive
