What he said (trns: AK Ramanujam)
Submitted by Mediochre - beautifully translated tamil sangam poetry...What he said
What could my mother be
To yours? What kin is my 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
- Translated from Kurunthokai by AK Ramanujam
