அழகிய பூமகள் வருகையில்
மலர்களை பொழியுது பூமரமே
பழகிய தேவதை விழிகளில்
ஆயிரம் கனவுகள் ஊர்வலமே
As the beautiful flower-like girl arrives
The flower tree showers blossoms
In the eyes of the familiar angel
A procession of a thousand dreams marches
தோகை மயில் ஒரு தூது விடும்
தோள்களிலே இனி மாலை விழும்
ஆயிரம் ஆயிரம் பூ மலரும்
A feathered peacock sends a message
A garland will now fall upon the shoulders
Thousands upon thousands of flowers will bloom
அழகிய பூமகள் வருகையில்

மார்கழி வேளையில் மன்மதன் சோலையில்
மழைத் துளி விழுகிறதே
திருமண மாலையும் அழகிய சேலையும்
கனவினில் வருகிறதே
In the time of Margazhi, in Cupid's garden
Raindrops keep falling
The wedding garland and the beautiful saree
Come into the dreams
பழைய கதை இனி மாறி விடும்
பருவ சுகம் இனி ஊறி வரும்
வளர்ந்து விரிந்து கொழுந்து எழுந்து
மலர்களைத் தழுவிடும் புதிய சுகம்
The old story will now change
Youthful bliss will now overflow
Growing, expanding, sprouting, and rising
A new joy that gently embraces the blossoms
அழகிய பூமகள் வருகையில்
மலர்களை பொழியுது பூமரமே
பழகிய தேவதை விழிகளில்
ஆயிரம் கனவுகள் ஊர்வலமே
As the beautiful flower-like girl arrives
The flower tree showers blossoms
In the eyes of the familiar angel
A procession of a thousand dreams marches
.............................
இனியொரு தடையில்லை
வழியினில் அணையில்லை
நதியினை நகர விடு
மங்கல வேளையில் மன்மத சோலையில்
மலர்களை மலர விடு
There are no more obstacles
There is no dam in the path
Let the river flow freely
At the auspicious hour, in Cupid's garden
Let the flowers blossom
புதிய கலை எனை எழுத விடு
மலர் அணையில் எனை மகிழ விடு
சிறந்த விருந்து அருந்து விரைந்து
இளமையின் அமுதங்கள் பருகி விடு
Let a new art express me
Let me rejoice upon the bed of flowers
Enjoying a grand feast swiftly
Drink the nectar of youth
அழகிய பூமகள் வருகையில்
மலர்களை பொழியுது பூமரமே
பழகிய தேவதை விழிகளில்
ஆயிரம் கனவுகள் ஊர்வலமே
