Ilakkiya My Love

Ilakkiya my love Ilakkiya is her name From the lips to heart she will enjoy the sweet Breeze will come and ask her to blow Sun will come polish her face Many angels are her maidens She is Ilakkiya, My love Her jetblack hair will cover the face of moon Her sweet red lips will cover the morning sun She is Ilakkiya', My Love Every daybreak her smiles spread the rays Her walk creates new steps in the dance Her words are borrowed by cuckoo to sing She is Ilakkiya, My love The charms of love start from her eyes and pierce my heart as arrows to fill the pores deer comes to learn how gleefully to leap She is Ilakkiya, My love In the corridors of her memory I have walked five and forty years To hear her songs of love the rest of the life Open I shall keep my ears
