சின்ன மகராணியே
மகளாக வந்தாய் சிரிப்பால்
எந்தன் நெஞ்சில் சந்தோசம்
தந்தாய் கை வீசும் ஜன்னல்
நிலா நீ வந்த வேளை வாழ்க்கை
பாதை எங்கும் வரவேற்பு மாலை
Little queen, you came to me as my daughter
With your smile, you brought joy to my heart
Like a moon waving through the window when you arrived
Everywhere on life's path, there is a welcoming garland
எங்கள் வீட்டு கடிகாரத்தில்
எல்லா நேரமும் இன்பம் இனி
உந்தன் பின்னால் உந்தன் அன்பால்
எங்கள் உலகம் சுற்றும்
In our house clock
All time is happiness now
From now on, following you and led by your love
Our world will revolve
சின்ன மகராணியே
மகளாக வந்தாய் சிரிப்பால்
எந்தன் நெஞ்சில் சந்தோசம்
தந்தாய்
Little queen, you came to me as my daughter
With your smile, you brought joy to my heart
பெண்ணுக்கென
வாழ்க்கையிலே இலக்கணம்
உள்ளதம்மா விட்டு தரும் குணம்
இருந்தால் இலக்கியம் ஆகும்
அம்மா அனைவருக்கும் இதயத்திலே
ஆசைகள் இருக்கும் அம்மா ஆசைகள்
தான் வாழ்க்கை என்றால்
அவஸ்தைகள் பிறக்கும் அம்மா
There is a set grammar for a woman in life, my dear child
If she possesses the quality of selflessness, she becomes literature, my child
Everyone holds desires in their heart, my child
If desires alone dictate life, troubles will be born, my child
அடி வானத்தை அளந்திட
சென்றால் அது முடிகிற காரியமா
அடி வார்த்தையை கொட்டிய பின்னால்
அதை அள்ளிட கூடிடுமா ரோஜா பூவும்
நீயும் ஒன்றே இதழ்கள் இங்கே இதயம்
எங்கே
If one sets out to measure the distant sky, is that an achievable task?
Once words are spilled out, can they ever be gathered back?
A rose flower and you are the same; the petals are here, but where is the heart?
சின்ன மகராணியே
மகளாக வந்தாய் சிரிப்பால்
எந்தன் நெஞ்சில் சந்தோசம்
தந்தாய்
Little queen, you came to me as my daughter
With your smile, you brought joy to my heart
உன் தாயும் கேட்டாலே
விண்மீன் வேண்டும் என்று
விண்மீன்கள் நான் தருவேன்
விடியலை தருவாளா ஊஞ்சலுக்கு
கேட்டாலே வானவில் வேண்டும்
என்று வானவில்லை நான் தருவேன்
வசந்தத்தை தருவாளா
If your mother asks for the stars from the sky
I will give her the stars, but will she give me a new dawn?
If she asks for a rainbow to swing upon
I will give her the rainbow, but will she bring back the spring season?
உன் ஆசைகளை ஒரு நாளும்
நான் மறுக்கவும் இல்லையடி உன்
தாயை நான் ஒரு நாளும் இங்கு
வெறுக்கவும் இல்லையடி எந்தன்
தாயே என் முகம் பாரு உந்தன்
தாய்க்கும் நல் வழி கூறு
I have never denied your desires on any day, my dear
I have never harbored hatred for your mother here, my dear
My little mother, look at my face
Guide your mother too toward a righteous path
சின்ன மகராணியே
மகளாக வந்தாய் சிரிப்பால்
எந்தன் நெஞ்சில் சந்தோசம்
தந்தாய்
Little queen, you came to me as my daughter
With your smile, you brought joy to my heart
