Lost in Translation - Poem 6

I love to...
I'd love to be the rain,
If I am the rain drops falling on your lips...
I'd love to be the air,
If I am the breeze on your hip...
I'd love to be a poem,
If it is about your beauty...
I'd love to be the LOVE,
If I am the lover filling your heart...

Note: This poem is translation of my tamil poem no:6 in this blog. I am not so good in English, but I have written it on request of my friends who cannot read Tamil poems. I will try to continue this for other poems as well :)

  1. I can actually killyou for this..
    Worst tranlation ever..The complete essence that the orginal version carried is lost..

    Tamil version is very good.
    Try to make meaningful translation rather than literal ones.

  2. What to do...I can write to an extent in Tamil. but in English, no way I can write a poem...

    If possible, can you translate all my tamil poems. Don't worry I will put as Courtesy: Divya...
