Chinna maharaniyae magalaaga vandhaai

Siripaal endhan nenjil santhosam thandhaai

Kai veesum jannal nila nee vandha velai

Vaazhkai paadhai engum varaverpu maalai

Engal veetu gadigaarathil

Ella neramum inbam

Ini undhan pinnaal undhan anbaal

Engal uzhagam sutrum

Chinna maharaniyae magalaaga vandhaai

Siripaal endhan nenjil santhosam thandhaai

Pennukena vaazhkayilae ilakanam ulladhamma

Vitu tharum gunam irundhaal ilakiyam aagum ammaa

Anaivarukum idhayathilae aasaigal irukum ammaa

Aasaigal thaan vaazhkai endraal avasthaigal pirakum ammaa

Adi vaanathai alanthida sendraal adhu mudigira kaariyamaa

Adi vaarthayai kottiya pinnaal adhai allida koodidumaa

Roja poovum neeyum ondrae idhazhgal ingae idhayam engae

Chinna maharaniyae magalaaga vandhaai

Siripaal endhan nenjil santhosam thandhaai

Un thaayum ketaalae vinmeen vendum endru

Vinmeengal naan tharuven vidiyalai tharuvaalaa

Oonjaluku ketaalae vaanavil vendum endru

Vaanavillai naan tharuven vasandhathai tharuvaalaa

Un aasaigalai oru naalum naan marukavum illaiyadi

Un thaayai naan oru naalum ingu verukavum illaiyadi

Endhan thaayae en mugam paaru

Undhan thaaikum nal vazhi kooru

Chinna maharaniyae magalaaga vandhaai

Siripaal endhan nenjil santhosam thandhaai

My little queen, you arrived as my daughter,

and with your smile, you filled my heart with joy.

Like the moon waving from the window, the moment you arrived,

a welcome garland lined every path of life.

On our home's clock,

every single hour is happiness.

From now on, guided by you and your love,

our whole world will revolve around you.

My little queen, you arrived as my daughter,

and with your smile, you filled my heart with joy.

There are guiding rules for a woman's life, my child;

with the grace to yield and adjust, it becomes a beautiful story, my child.

Everyone carries desires in their heart, my child;

but if life is only about desires, only pain is born, my child.

If you set out to measure the horizon, is that ever possible?

Once spoken words are spilled out, can they ever be gathered back?

You and a rose are just the same—the petals are here, but where is the heart?

My little queen, you arrived as my daughter,

and with your smile, you filled my heart with joy.

Your mother asked me for the stars;

I can give the stars, but will she bring the dawn?

She asked for a rainbow to make a swing;

I can give the rainbow, but will she bring the spring?

I have never once denied your wishes, my dear,

nor have I ever hated your mother for a single day.

My little mother, look into my face,

and guide your mother to the right path.

My little queen, you arrived as my daughter,

and with your smile, you filled my heart with joy.
