நானும் கலைஞனம்மா
தெம்மாங்கு பாடும் இளைஞனம்மா
நடிகர் திலகம் பிள்ளையைப் போலே
நான் வருவேனே புரவியின் மேலே
Little girl Meena
Went to watch a movie
ஆத்தா துணையிருப்பா இங்கே
நான் கேட்கும் வரம் கொடுப்பா
கண்ணீர் சிந்தி வாடும்போது
கண்ணு தொறக்க வேண்டும்போது
பார்வை மலர்ந்திருப்பா
எங்கம்மா பாசக் குரல் கொடுப்பா
I am an artist too, mother
A young man who sings folk tunes, mother
Just like the son of 'Nadigar Thilagam'
I will arrive riding on a horse
என்னைப் போலே ஏழைக் கொண்ட
எண்ணமெல்லாம் கை கூடும்
சின்னக் குட்டி மீனாவுக்கு ஆசை கூட ஈடேற
அம்மன் கோயிலிலே பெண் : ஆடும் வேளையிலே
இருவர் :
எல்லார்க்கும் எல்லாமும்
என்றும் இங்கு கிடைக்கும்.....
The divine Mother will stand by us here
She will grant the boon I ask for
When shedding tears and wilting in sorrow
When eyes need to be opened
Her graceful gaze will bloom
Our Mother will extend her loving call
Held by a poor person like me
All desires and dreams will come true
Female: For little girl Meena
Her desires will also be fulfilled
Male: In the temple of Goddess... Female: While dancing in joy...
Both: Everything for everyone
Will always be granted here
