பிடித்த தமிழ் கவிதைகள் ஏதேனும் உள்ளதா?

பாரதியார் மற்றும் பாரதிதாசன் கவிதைகள் மீது ஈர்ப்பு உண்டு.

தேடிச் சோறு நிதந் தின்று பல சின்னஞ் சிறு கதைகள் பேசி மனம் வாடித் துன்பமிக உழன்று பிறர் வாடப் பல செயல்கள் செய்து நரை கூடிக் கிழப்பருவம் எய்தி கொடுங் கூற்றுக் கிரை யெனப்பின் மாயும் பல வேடிக்கை மனிதரைப் போலே நான் வீழ்வே னென்று நினைத்தாயோ?

Comprehending The Surreal

It is a translation of Barathiyar's poem yet again! I have always been fascinated by the poem "Nirpadhuve Nadapadhuve" of Barathiyar. Stunning high profile thoughts delivered in a lucid way, it proves yet again what a prolific poet Mahakavi Barathiyar was! This one was a bit challenging to translate, with the poet explaining the concept of "illusion" is so many different ways!! Hope I have done justice. Do comment and let me know your thoughts on it!!

The Original :

Nirpadhuve nadappadhuve parappadhuve NeengaL ellaam soppanam thaano Pala thotRa mayakkangaLo

KaRpadhuve ketpadhuve karudhuvadhe NeengaL ellam ardhamaayaigaLo ummuL aazhndha poruLillaiyo

Vaanagame ILaveyile marancharive NeengaL ellaam kaanalin neero Verum kaatchi pizhaithaano

Ponadhellaam kanavinaipol udaindhaezhundhe ponadhanaal Naanum or kanavo indha gnalamum Poithaano

Kaalamendre oru ninaivum Kaatchi endru pala ninaivum Kolamum poigaLo andha gunangalum poigaLo

Kaanbadhellaam maraiyumendraal Maraindhadhellaam kaanbamandro Naanum or kanavo Indha gnalamum Poithaano

The Translation :

The lifeless things that stand still, The beings that can walk, and those which fly at will! Are you a mirror image of what I see in my dreams? A multifaceted illusion which makes me believe the world is just as it seems?!

The things that I learn, What I hear, and the things that I think that forms the underlying pattern! Is it all just a hallucination? Without any deeper sense of meaning or notion?

The infinitely vast sky, The pleasant warmth of sunlight and the green trees on mountain side that slopes by! Are you like the ever elusive mirage, around the bend? Just my erroneous points of view, in the end?

Everything thats gone and lost fast, Seems like a dream, buried in the past! I would be gone one day too! Just a living dream - Am I? The whole universe, one big lie?!

The placidity of the viewpoint in a period of time , But disguised within it are a million points of view, given by the senses of mine! Are all the appearances surreal? Characters and characteristics just unreal?

Everything that we see would disappear forever, someday! Would we ever see them come back, from all the way? I would be gone one day too! Just a living dream - Am I? The whole universe, one big lie?!

Seeking an unflinching self

This time, I tried translating another one of my favorite poems of Barathiyar : "Manadhil Urudhi Vendum".

The Original :

Manathil uruthi vendum Vaakkinile inimai vendum Ninaivu nalladhu vendum Nerunggina porul kai pada vendum

Kanavu mei pada vendum Kai vasamaavadhu viraivil vendum Dhanamum inbamum vendum Tharaniyile perumai vendum

Kan thirandhida vendum Kaariyathil uruthi vendum Pen viduthalai vendum Periya kadavul kaakka vendum

Mann payanura vendum Vaanagam inggu thenpada vendum Unmai nindrida vendum

The Translation :

A self that remains unflinching with every heart beat, A self that can convey the most hurting words soft and sweet, A self that can always cherish the noble thought, And let the things within my reach always be sought!

Let each of my dream come true, till the last! Let the objects that I hold in my thoughts reach me fast! Give me wealth, but also give me infinite happiness on the inside! Let the world flourish with abundant pride!

Oh please open my eyes to understand this world and people too! Let there be steadfastness in whatever I do! Let there be full liberation of women, And let it be that you should always bless us from the heaven!

Let the land be bountiful, And let the sky reflecting the self, be forever beautiful! Give me a self that remains calm and clear, no matter what situation I am in! Give me a self that remains true to itself, and let truth alone always win!!

Thedi Choru Nidham Thindru

Had a lazy afternoon and tried translating my favorite Barathiyar poem : The original : Thedi Choru Nithamthinru pala Chinnanchiru kathaigal pesi manam vaadi thunbam miga uzhanru pirar Vaada pala seyalgal seythu Narai koodi kizhap paruvam eithi kodungkootrukku iraiyena pin maayum pala vedikai mainitharai pole Naan veezhvenenru ninaiththaayo! The translation : Going in search of food each day, Talking about worthless stories whiling it all away, Getting wounded and hurt in the process by others, And Doing deeds which would hurt my brothers, Growing grey and growing old, A life, written off and never to be told, Is how you think this gull would live his fairy tale life?
