சின்ன சின்ன கனவுகள்
சின்ன சின்ன குறும்புகள்
எல்லாம் சேர்ந்து செய்த வீடு இது
சின்ன சின்ன சிரிப்புகள்
சின்ன சின்ன சண்டைகள்
சங்கீதமாய் மாறும் இடம் இது
Small small dreams
Small small playful mischiefs
This is a home built by bringing them all together
Small small smiles
Small small quarrels
This is the place where they all turn into music
இந்த கூட்டுக்குடும்பத்தில்
வாழ சொர்க்கம் ஏங்குமே
இது வீட்டுக்குள்ளே வேடந்தாங்கல்
இதுதான் சந்தோசம்.....
இதுதான் உற்சாகம்......
இதுதான் சந்தோசம்.....
இதுதான் உற்சாகம்......

அணில் வந்து விளையாடும் தாழ்வாரம்
அன்புதானே நாங்கள் பாடும் தேவாரம்
அணில் வந்து விளையாடும் தாழ்வாரம்
அன்புதானே நாங்கள் பாடும் தேவாரம்
ஆகாய வெண்ணிலாவில் வெளிச்சம் கொஞ்சம் வாங்கி
அணையாத விளக்கெரியும் எங்கள் வீட்டு மாடம்
A veranda where squirrels come and play
Love itself is the sacred hymn we sing
A veranda where squirrels come and play
Love itself is the sacred hymn we sing
Borrowing a little light from the moon in the sky
An unextinguished lamp burns in our house niche
இது போதும் இதுபோதும்
வேறு என்ன வேண்டும்
இங்கு வாழும் நாளெல்லாம்
திருநாளாய் மாறும்
This is enough, this is enough
What else is needed?
Every day lived here turns into a festive day

This is the place where they all turn into music
புன்னகையால் நாம் போடும் பூந்தோட்டம்
பூச்செடிகள் கடன்கேட்டு கை நீட்டும்
புன்னகையால் நாம் போடும் பூந்தோட்டம்
பூச்செடிகள் கடன்கேட்டு கை நீட்டும்
இறைவனுக்கு முகவரிகள் எங்கும் என்று கேட்டால்
இங்கிருக்கும் உறவுகளை வந்து பார்க்க சொல்வோம்
The flower garden we plant with our smiles
Where flowering plants extend hands asking for a loan
The flower garden we plant with our smiles
Where flowering plants extend hands asking for a loan
If asked where God's address is
We will tell them to come and see the relationships here
பொன் வேண்டாம் பொருள் வேண்டாம்
பந்தபாசம் போதும்
பூமியிலே நாங்கள் வாழும்
வாழ்க்கை அர்த்தமாகும்
We do not want gold, we do not want wealth
Bonds and affection are enough
The life we live on this earth
Will become meaningful
