ஆனந்த ராகம் கேட்கும் காலம்
ஆனந்த ராகம் கேட்கும் காலம்
கீழ் வானிலே ஒளி போல் தோன்றுதே
ஆயிரம் ஆசைகள் உள் நெஞ்சம் பாடதோ
ஆனந்த ராகம் கேட்கும் காலம்
A melody of joy
Is the time we hear
A melody of joy
Is the time we hear
In the eastern sky
It appears like light
A thousand desires
Will not the inner heart sing?
A melody of joy
Is the time we hear
துள்ளி வரும் உள்ளங்களில்
தூது வந்து தென்றல் சொல்ல
தோன்றும் எங்கும்
இன்பத்தின் ஆனந்த தாளங்களே
In hearts that leap with joy
As the breeze comes delivering messages
Appears everywhere
The joyful rhythms of happiness
வெள்ளி மலைக் கோலங்களை
அள்ளி கொண்ட மேகங்களை
காணும் நெஞ்சில்
பொங்கட்டும் சொந்தத்தின் பாவங்களே
The patterns of silver mountains
The clouds that gather them up
In the heart that beholds this
Let the expressions of kinship overflow
கள்ளம் இன்றி
உள்ளங்கள் துள்ளி எழ
கட்டி கொண்ட
எண்ணங்கள் மெல்ல விழ
ராகங்கள் பாட தாளங்கள் போட
வானெங்கும் போகதோ
ஆனந்த ராகம் கேட்கும் காலம்
லா லா ல லா லா லா லா லா லா
Without any deceit
As hearts bound up high
The held-up
Thoughts slowly fall away
As melodies sing and beats fall into place
Will it not reach all across the sky?
The time when a melody of joy is heard
Laa laa la laa laa laa laa laa laa
வண்ண வண்ண எண்ணங்களும்
வந்து விழும் உள்ளங்களும்
வானின் மீது
ஊர்வலம் போகின்ற காலங்களே
Colorful, vibrant thoughts
And hearts into which they fall
Upon the sky
Are times going on a procession
சின்ன சின்ன மின்னல்களும்
சிந்தனையின் பின்னல்களும்
சேரும் போது
தோன்றிடும் ஆயிரம் கோலங்களே
Tiny little flashes of lightning
And the interweaving of thoughts
When they join together
A thousand beautiful patterns emerge
இன்று முதல் இன்பங்கள்
பொங்கி வரும்
இந்த மனம் எங்கெங்கும்
சென்று வரும்
காவிய ராகம் காற்றினில் கேட்கும்
காலங்கள் ஆரம்பம்
From today, joys will overflow
This mind will travel everywhere and return
An epic melody will be heard in the breeze
The times have begun
ஆனந்த ராகம் கேட்கும் காலம்
ஆனந்த ராகம் கேட்கும் காலம்
கீழ் வானிலே ஒளி போல் தோன்றுதே
ஆயிரம் ஆசைகள் உள் நெஞ்சம் பாடதோ
ஆனந்த ராகம் கேட்கும் காலம்
லா லா ல லா லா லா லா லா லா
