CHAPTER 122 - DREAMS OF LOVE TOLD.
***
122/04. கனவினான் உண்டாகும் காமம் நனவினால்
நல்காரை நாடித் தரற்கு.

122/04. Kanavinaan undaagum kaamam nanavinaal
Nalgaarai naadith thararrku.

122/04. "My lover who has not given me pleasure in my dreams,
After search when he is brought to me,
Even then I get pleasure in my dreams."
***
Bhagirath: From her side she is happy in her dreams
When he's not giving her pleasure even in her dreams.

Nirbhay: She doesn't know his place
If her dream, for her sake, can trace
And bring him back before her,
She'll be happy with him forever.

Poor girl, she tries all methods
To know his whereabouts
Which she doesn't know then,
Asking for help everyone.

Even her dream she hasn't left,
As she wants it to go out,
And quickly bring him to her,
More to brighten her future.

122/05. நனவினால் கண்டதூஉம் ஆங்கே; கனவுந்தான்
கண்ட பொழுதே இனிது.

122/05. Nanavinaal kanndathoom aanghe; kanavumdhaan
Kannda pozhudhe inidhu.

122/05. "The pleasure I had with my lover
I get the same in my dreams also."
***
Bhagirath: She feels the same pleasure in her dreams
What she had when he was with her.

Nirbhay: She seems to be a practical,
And understanding type of girl,
As she gets pleasure in her dreams,
As well as in his physical presence.

Otherwise, she can't enjoy in dreams,
What she had in his presence,
It is a kind of emotional feelings,
What any young girl generally gets.

But still she wants her lover
Both in her dreams forever
And his physical presence
That gives her endless happiness.
***
122/06. நனவென ஒன்றில்லை ஆயின் கனவினால்
காதலர் நீங்கலர் மன்.

122/06. Nanavena ondrillai aayin kanavinaal
Kadhalar neengalar mann.

122/06. "If there is no wakefulness, the lover whom I met
In my dream would not have left me."
***
Bhagirath: She wants to enjoy his company
When he is present in her dreams.

Nirbhay: Once she closes her eyes,
Dream about him only comes,
And in her state of wakefulness
He's not present before her eyes.

If there is no state of wakefulness,
She'll be in everlasting dreams,
And enjoy his company all the time,
As there is no chance of leaving him.

Why she must keep awake?
Why there must be a break?
She's happy in her dream world.
Let her remain in that world.
