Kavidhai: Traffic Signal Sirumi
After a long time, I did get inspired and am writing about something that touched my heart. Please add Maane, thaena, ponmaane in between the lines for your convenience.
Traffic signal girl
Nanpagal sooriyan veliye ennai suterika,
Manadhil sogam ulle urukka,
En kannerum vervaiyum kalanthadhu,
Traffic signal kooda sigappaga mariyadhu
Varai yeedu vikkum sirumi ethanai, adhutha velai saapade avalukku prachanai,
Aval vazhkai mun, en kashtam ondrume illai .
En kangallum kanneerum kainthathu,
Traffic signal pachaiyaga maariyadhu !!
For all those who didn’t get a word, please follow my English translation.
Nanpagal sooriyan veliye ennai suterika,
When the midday sun was scorching,
manadhil sogam ulle urukka,
Sadness inflicted my heart from inside,
en kannerum vervaiyum kalanthadhu,
My sweat and tears coalesced into one
Traffic signal kooda sigappaga mariyadhu
Traffic signal turned red!
varai yeedu vikkum sirumi ethanai,
Countless young girls selling Drawing books (at the traffic signal),
adhutha velai saapade avalukku prachanai,
Their next meal itself a big problem,
aval vazhkai mun, en kashtam ondrume illai .
In front of her life, My problems seemed insignificant.
en kangallum kanneerum kainthathu,
My eyes and tears dried up,
traffic signal pachaiyaga maariyadhu !!
Traffic signal turned green !!
