{ ஆனந்த குயிலின்
பாட்டு தினம் எங்களின்
வீட்டுக்குள்ளே } (2)
பூக்களில் நனையும் காற்று
தினம் எங்களின் தோட்டத்திலே
கிளிகளின் கூண்டுக்குள்ளே புது
உலகம் பிறந்ததே அன்பு கொண்ட
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே ஒரு வானம்
விாிந்ததே கனிகள் தித்திப்பா
கவிதை தித்திப்பா அது
அன்பை விட தித்திப்பா
The song of a joyful cuckoo echoes inside our home every day (Repeated)
The breeze drenched in flowers blows in our garden every day
A new world was born inside the cage of parrots
A sky expanded inside the heart filled with love
Are fruits sweet? Is poetry sweet?
Is any of it sweeter than love?

The breeze drenched in flowers blows in our garden every day
பூமி எங்கும் கண்டதில்லை
பாசத்தை உன்போலே
Nowhere on Earth have I seen affection like yours
வேறெதுவும் தேவை
இல்லை அன்புக்கு முன்னாலே
Nothing else is needed when love is present
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே பூ மலரும்
வீட்டுக்குள் வந்தாலே
A flower blooms in the heart when she steps into the house
நிம்மதியில் கண்வளரும்
பாட்டுக்கள் தந்தாலே
The eyes rest in peaceful sleep when she sings songs
இந்த சொந்தங்கள் போதுமே
எங்கள் இன்பங்கள் கூடுமே
These relationships are enough; our happiness will multiply
அன்பென்னும் தீபம்
ஏற்றிய வீடும் தெய்வத்தின்
ஆலயம்தான்
A home that lights the lamp of love is truly God's temple
வீடு என்றால்
மோட்சம் என்றால் வீடு
கண்டோம் நேசத்திலே
If home means salvation, we found that home in affection
