மருதாணி மழை வண்ணத்தில்
மனம் தள்ளாடும்
தேவதையை கையில் தூக்கையில்
மனம் கொண்டாடும்
பெண் தெய்வம் மழலை மொழியிலே
என் வாழ்வை தொடங்கி வைக்கிறாய்
உன்னால ரெட்டை உசுரு வாழ துடிக்குதே
In the rain-like color of henna,
My heart sways with emotion.
When holding the angel in my arms,
My heart celebrates.
O female deity, through your baby babble,
You start my life anew.
Because of you, my heart feels a double surge of life.
பெத்தெடுத்த ஆசை தெய்வத்தை
ஊரு சனம் கொஞ்சி தாலாட்ட
நா பெத்தெடுத்த ஆசை தெய்வத்தை
இந்த ஊரு சனம் கொஞ்சி தாலாட்ட
The beloved deity I gave birth to,
May the village folk cuddle and sing lullabies to her.
The beloved deity I gave birth to,
May the people of this village cuddle and sing lullabies to her.
தாயாய் உன்னை கண்டேன்
பேசும் தெய்வம் பார்த்தேன்
எந்தன் வாழ்வு நீயடி செல்ல குட்டி
காலம் மாறி வரும்
வருடங்கள் ஓடி வரும்
என்றும் குழந்தை நீயே
விழா கோலமாய் என் வாழ்க்கை மாறுதே
நீ என்னருகில் இருந்தால் அது போதுமே
என் தங்க தாரகை
அவள் மின்னும் தூரிகை
உன்னை சுற்றி என்னுலகம் தினம் சுழழுதே
உன்னால ரெட்டை உசுரு வாழ துடிக்குதே
I saw a mother in you,
I saw a speaking deity.
You are my life, my dear darling baby.
Times will change,
Years will run by,
You will forever remain my child.
My life turns into a festive celebration,
If you are beside me, that is all I need.
My golden star,
She is a shining paintbrush,
My world revolves around you every day.
Because of you, my heart feels a double surge of life.
பெத்தெடுத்த ஆசை தெய்வத்தை
ஊரு சனம் கொஞ்சி தாலாட்ட
