அயோத்தி அரண்மனை பஞ்சணையில்
அமைதி கொண்டிருந்தான் ஸ்ரீராமன்
வராத சுகமின்று வந்ததென
மடியினில் கிடந்தாள் வைதேகி
On the soft mattress in the Ayodhya palace,
Lord Rama was finding peaceful rest.
Wondering how an uninvited bliss arrived today,
Vaidehi lay down in his lap.
சீதையை ராமன் பாராட்டினான்
சீதா ராமனை தாலாட்டினாள்
திரும்பவும் காலம் வென்றதென
தேனெனும் குரலில் சீராட்டினாள்
Rama looked gently at Sita,
Sita sang a lullaby to Rama.
Wondering if time had won once again,
She caressed him with her honey-like voice.
அயோத்தி அரண்மனை பஞ்சணையில்
அமைதி கொண்டிருந்தான் ஸ்ரீராமன்
வராத சுகமின்று வந்ததென
மடியினில் கிடந்தாள் வைதேகி
On the soft mattress in the Ayodhya palace,
Lord Rama was finding peaceful rest.
Wondering how an uninvited bliss arrived today,
Vaidehi lay down in his lap.
கல்லில் நடந்த ராமனுக்கு
கால் கட்டு போட்டாள் வைதேகி
கல்லில் நடந்த ராமனுக்கு
கால் கட்டு போட்டாள் வைதேகி
கண்ணில் கலந்த ராமனுக்கு
கால்கட்டுப் போட்டாள் ...
For Rama who walked upon rough stones,
Vaidehi tied the bond of marriage.
For Rama who walked upon rough stones,
Vaidehi tied the bond of marriage.
For Rama who mingled into her eyes,
She tied the bond of marriage...
ஒருநாள் ராமனை உறங்க வைக்க
பலநாள் ஜானகி தவமிருந்தாள்
ஒருநாள் ராமனை உறங்க வைக்க
பலநாள் ஜானகி தவமிருந்தாள்
ரகுபதி ராகவன் துயில் கொண்டான்
ரசனையை ஜானகி பயில்கின்றாள்
To make Rama sleep peacefully for one day,
Janaki performed penance for many days.
To make Rama sleep peacefully for one day,
Janaki performed penance for many days.
Raghupathi Raghavan fell into slumber,
While Janaki savored and appreciated the moment.
