| Chinnanjiru kootula | In a tiny little nest, |
| Saamiyaa kaakkura | You protect like a deity, |
| Chella mozhi pechula | In your sweet, endearing words, |
| Thaayaiye kaattura | You reveal the warmth of a mother. |
| Female | |
| En kannu kuttiye | My little darling child, |
| En kannin maniye | My apple of my eye, |
| En usure nee dhaanae | You are my very life, aren't you? |
| En vella kattiye | My sweet block of jaggery, |
| En velli nilave | My silver moon, |
| En ulagam nee dhaanae | You are my entire world, aren't you? |

| Haan…vaanum irulum | Ah... the sky darkens, |
| Vaasam kuraiyum | Fragrance fades away, |

| Kaigal korthu | Holding hands tightly, |
| Kadhaigal pesum | Telling endless stories, |
| Kanavugalum mudiyavillaiye | The dreams never seem to end. |

| Illaadha uravellaam | Relationships that never existed, |
| Inbama kaattita | You showed them as pure joy, |
| Kanneerin uppellaam | All the salt of my tears, |
| Karkanda maathitta | You transformed into sweet sugar candy. |

| Enna dhavamo | What penance was it, |
| Enna dhavamo | What penance was it, |
| Unna vittu naan porakkala | That I was not born separate from you? |
| Enna varamo | What a blessing it is, |
| Enna varamo | What a blessing it is, |
| Saami kitta veredhum kettadhilla | I haven't asked God for anything else. |

சின்னஞ்சிறு கூட்டுல
சாமியா காக்குற
செல்ல மொழி பேச்சுல
தாயையே காட்டுற
In a tiny little nest,
You protect like a deity,
In your sweet, endearing words,
You reveal the warmth of a mother.
என் கண்ணு குட்டியே
என் கண்ணின் மணியே
என் உசுரே நீ தானே
என் வெள்ளி நிலவே
என் உலகம் நீ தானே
My little darling child,
My apple of my eye,
You are my very life, aren't you?
My sweet block of jaggery,
My silver moon,
You are my entire world, aren't you?

சாமியா காக்குற

தாயையே காட்டுற
In a tiny little nest,
You protect like a deity,
In your sweet, endearing words,
You reveal the warmth of a mother.
ஹான் ...வானும் இருளும்
வாசம் குறையும்
பாசம் மட்டும் மாறவில்லையே
கைகள் கோர்த்து
கதைகள் பேசும்
கனவுகளும் முடியவில்லையே
Ah... the sky darkens,
Fragrance fades away,
Yet affection alone never changes.
Holding hands tightly,
Telling endless stories,
The dreams never seem to end.
இல்லாத உறவெல்லாம்
இன்பமா காட்டிட்டா
கண்ணீரின் உப்பெல்லாம்
கற்கண்டா மாத்திட்டா
Relationships that never existed,
You showed them as pure joy,
All the salt of my tears,
You transformed into sweet sugar candy.
என்ன தவமோ
என்ன தவமோ
உன்ன விட்டு நான் பொறக்கல
என்ன வரமோ
என்ன வரமோ
சாமி கிட்ட வேறேதும் கேட்டதில்ல
What penance was it,
What penance was it,
That I was not born separate from you?
What a blessing it is,
What a blessing it is,
I haven't asked God for anything else.
சின்னஞ்சிறு கூட்டுல

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a deeply emotional lullaby-like ode celebrating an unconditional bond filled with love, protection, and gratitude. The speaker sees a motherly, divine grace in the beloved's innocent words and presence. Every hardship or sorrow experienced in life is magically turned into sweetness through this affection, making the speaker feel complete without needing any further blessings from above.

Poetic devices
Metaphor
“En vella kattiye / En velli nilave”
The speaker compares the loved one to sweet jaggery ('vella kattiye') and a silver moon ('velli nilave'), symbolizing warmth, sweetness, and guiding light.
Contrast / Transformation
“Kanneerin uppellaam / Karkanda maathitta”
Contrasting the bitterness/salty nature of tears ('kanneerin uppu') with the sweetness of rock candy ('karkandu') to show how love heals sorrow.
Anaphora & Rhyme (Etukai)
“Enna dhavamo... Enna varamo...”
Repetition of identical sentence structures ('Enna dhavamo / Enna varamo') creates rhythmic symmetry and highlights the emotional contrast between spiritual penance and divine blessing.
