My Love, You Are Like Waves

Pallavi

My love, you are like waves, my heart is like waves
In your sweet flute music,

Anupallavi

You stand like a statue, unchanging
But your flute melody is so beautiful, my heart is like waves

Charanam

Your light is like the moon shining on the waters
My soul yearns for you, always seeking you
Your flute song is a sweet call that comes to me
My heart leaps in joyful anticipation

Madhyama kaalam
Come, my love, captivate my captive heart
In this lonely forest, you fill me with longing
Like the waves of the ocean, I yearn to be closer to you
My heart yearns for you, I weep, but you just watch
Is this right? Is this the way it should be?
Is this justice? The flute's melody pierces my heart, it's like my soul is breaking
(Alai)
