A love-poem from "Kurunthogai" - the author is known as "sembula-peynnIrAr", after this poem itself.
yAyum yAyum yArAgiyarO
vendhaiyum nundhaiyum emmuraik-kElir
yAnu nIyum evvazhi yaridum
sembulap-peynnIr pOla
vanbudai nenjan-dAn kalandanavE
A K Ramanujan's translation :
WHAT HE SAID
What could my mother be to yours?
What kin is your father to yours anyway?
And how did you and I meet ever?
But in love
Our hearts have mingled
like red earth and pouring rain.
I read a newsitem that this poem and translation are displayed in the London
Metro.
