Be Still My Beating (Tamil) Heart

Words by Lyricist YugaBharathi

Be still my traitorous heart,

This is heaven – inhabit it,

In the spinning wheel of time, love is fiber, to be spun into yarn,

O be quiet mute heart.

Spoken words are not necessary in love.

(After the appetite is gone

Even ambrosia is poison.)

Endlessly colliding thoughts

Each threatens to devour me whole.

My hands hold heaven and earth together.

Be still my traitorous heart,

This is heaven – inhabit it,

Like a cat which had lost its taste for milk,

Like elephant which has lost its path

Like a veena that is completely out of tune

My very nature has changed.

When your fingers touch me

It is as if I am struck by lightning,

A thousand blossoms shower my body,

Happiness – roll out a carpet for me,

Sadness – scram, just leave,

Universe – wish me well, tell me to go ahead

Live life

Be still my traitorous heart,

This is heaven – inhabit it,

In the spinning wheel of time, love is fiber, to be spun into yarn,

O be quiet mute heart.

Spoken words are so unnecessary in love…………..
