Great work Arvind. Thank you so much. I was wondering why the translation is so
difficult that no1 is doing it. After reading your translation properly, now i
can understand how difficult it had been for you to do that. Thanks again.

Hi,
Good translation, Pradeepan!! :)
One small corection -
"Mazhai Nilave" is "Rainy Moon" , not "mountain moon"
The second part is very difficult to translate, but I jus gave it a try! I
cant make it sound poetic, I have just given the literal translation!!!!
thamizha thamizha thamizha
un thamizh ingu saelaiyil varudhaa
Oh, tamilian... is your tamil language coming through a saree?
amizhdhaai amizhdhaai amizhdhaai
kavi aatrida nee varuvaai
Come and write poetry which is as sweet as the nectar
ondraai irandaai moondraai
andha vaLLuvan thandhadhu muppaal
Valluvan (ancient tamil poet Thiruvalluvar) gave us 3 "paal"s
(Paal refers to the sections in the Thirukkural. There are 3 sections.)
unakkum enakkum viruppam
andha moondraam paal allava
The Paal which we like is the 3rd one, right?
(the third section talks about intimacy
between a man and woman)
paal viLakkangaL nee kooraen
Tell me the explanations of the "paal"
oor urangattum
uRaipaen kayLu
Let everyone sleep, I'll explain and you listen!
