‘O’ – Space — Srirangam Ramesh

Find out the original Tamil song in this. I have deliberately avoided the easy hint (word) in the translation. The only hint I leave is in the image. Many would imagine it as a love song. But in its expanse, this can be a song for the deity or a child other than love lass. Try.

In the vast open space filled with the air that we breathe,

I spend all my time with thoughts of love, smells as sweet.

Your lips springing, drops off elixir all the time,

Soaked in the moonlit night, your eyes throw the shine.

Your body with its aura as the purest of gold,

Till I live, all of these would in my thoughts, unfold.

I feel like one of those gods up above,

Oh, dear lady, I’m the man, so mad in love.

You are the love of my life  and life to my love,

All the time you are in my thoughts, and that’s how

Gone are my sorrows and all my woes

When I think of you as the gifted love, of my soul.

Honey from the heavens drool from my lips,

When I say your name, it’s as good as a kiss.

The light that you are from the heat of my heart

You’re made of my thoughts, you’re my body apart.

In the vast open space filled with the air that we breathe,

I spend all my time with thoughts of love as we meet.
