ருக்கு ருக்கு ருக்கு ருக்கு ஹைய்ய்யா....ஆஆ
Rukku rukku rukku rukku, oh my...
அதோ வானிலே ஓராயிரம் நிலா பூத்தது
இதோ பூமியில் என் பாடலில் விழா பூத்தது
பூம்பனியிலே நனைகிறேன் இனிமையே
நெஞ்சை தழுவுதே புதுமையாய் பூங்காற்றே
Look, a thousand moons have bloomed in that sky!
Here on earth, a celebration has bloomed in my song!
I am getting drenched in the sweet dew drops of the earth.
The gentle flower breeze embraces my heart with novel joy.
சந்தன மலர்கள் ஆட என்னுடன் குயில்கள் பாட
இன்று கண்டேன் இளமையின் நடனம்
As sandalwood flowers sway and cuckoos sing alongside me,
Today I witnessed the dance of youthfulness.
அதோ வானிலே ஓராயிரம் நிலா பூத்தது
இதோ பூமியில் என் பாடலில் விழா பூத்தது
Look, a thousand moons have bloomed in that sky!
Here on earth, a celebration has bloomed in my song!
மழையில் யுவராணி மலராடைக் கண்டு
இவனின் மனம் பாடும் மலை நாட்டு சிந்து
நதியின் தாலாட்டில் பொன் மீன்கள் துள்ளும்
இவனின் பாராட்டில் கவி ஒன்று சொல்லும்
Seeing the princess in a floral dress amidst the rain,
His heart sings a mountain folk melody.
Golden fish leap in the lullaby of the river,
And a poem speaks up in appreciation from him.
கண் காணாத ஓர் காட்சி கண்டேன்
நான் ஓர் வார்த்தை பேசாமல் நின்றேன்
கண் காணாத ஓர் காட்சி கண்டேன்
நான் ஓர் வார்த்தை பேசாமல் நின்றேன்
I saw a sight that my eyes had never seen before,
I stood there speechless without uttering a word.
I saw a sight that my eyes had never seen before,
I stood there speechless without uttering a word.
கையை தழுவியது தென்றல்
பழகியது மின்னல் ஒன்று பறந்தது மனது
The breeze gently brushed against my hand,
A stroke of lightning became familiar, and my mind took flight.
அதோ வானிலே ஓராயிரம் நிலா பூத்தது ஹ்ஹாஆஆ
இதோ பூமியில் என் பாடலில் விழா பூத்தது யே ஹ்ஹூ
Look, a thousand moons have bloomed in that sky, haha!
Here on earth, a celebration has bloomed in my song, yeah ho!
பொதிகை மேகங்கள் நீர் கொண்டு செல்லும்
புதிய வாசங்கள் பூந்தோட்டம் எங்கும்
இனிய சங்கீதம் மகுடங்கள் சூடும்
இளைய மான் கூட்டம் என்னோடு கொஞ்சும்
The clouds over the Podhigai hills carry water,
Fresh fragrances fill the flower garden everywhere.
Sweet music wears a royal crown,
A herd of young deer is playful with me.
பெண் பூவொன்று தன் பேரை சொல்ல
நான் ஆகாய தேசத்தில் துள்ள
பெண் பூவொன்று தன் பேரை சொல்ல
நான் ஆகாய தேசத்தில் துள்ள
When a flower-like maiden reveals her name,
I leap with joy in the celestial kingdom.
When a flower-like maiden reveals her name,
I leap with joy in the celestial kingdom.
என்னில் முதல் மயக்கம் கண்டேன் புது உலகம்
எங்கும் இன்றும் மலர்ந்தது வசந்தம்
I experienced my very first enchantment within me, a brand new world,
Spring season has bloomed everywhere today.
அதோ வானிலே ஓராயிரம் நிலா பூத்தது
இதோ பூமியில் என் பாடலில் விழா பூத்தது
பூம்பனியிலே நனைகிறேன் இனிமையே
நெஞ்சை நழுவுதே புதுமையாய் பூங்காற்றே
Look, a thousand moons have bloomed in that sky!
Here on earth, a celebration has bloomed in my song!
I am getting drenched in the sweet dew drops of the earth.
