சின்னஞ்சிறு வீடு இது சிங்கார வீடு
அழகு சிரிக்கும் ஆனந்தம் கொண்டாடும்
பழகும் சுகம் இருக்கும்
பாசம் ஒன்றே குடியிருக்கும்.....
This is a tiny house, a beautiful house
Where beauty smiles and joy is celebrated
There is sweet comfort in companionship
Where love alone resides
சின்னஞ்சிறு வீடு இது சிங்கார வீடு
This is a tiny house, a beautiful house
மலர்காடு தேன்கூடு
மகிழ்வோடு இங்கே விளையாடு
மலர்காடு தேன்கூடு
மகிழ்வோடு இங்கே விளையாடு
நீ நினைப்பதெல்லாம் நடக்கும்
பெரும் நிம்மதியை கொடுக்கும்
மனையில் கதவிருக்கும்
மனக்கதவு திறந்திருக்கும்...........
A flower garden, a honey comb
Play here with happiness
This is a flower garden, a honey comb
Play here with happiness
Whatever you think of will come to pass
It grants immense peace of mind
The house may have doors
Yet the doors of the heart remain wide open
சின்னஞ்சிறு வீடு இது சிங்கார வீடு
This is a tiny house, a beautiful house
சொர்க்கத்தின் நிழல் என்று சொல்லவோ
கற்பக சோலை இதுவல்லவோ
பொன் பொருள் இல்லை அன்புக்கு பஞ்சமில்லை
துன்பங்கள் இல்லையென்று துள்ளவோ
Shall I call it the reflection of heaven?
Is this not the celestial garden of wishes?
There are no gold or riches here, but no scarcity of love
Shall I leap with joy that there are no sorrows?
இங்கு கேட்பதெல்லாம் கிடைக்கும்
கையில் கிடைத்ததெல்லாம் நிலைக்கும்
இன்பம் கொலுவிருக்கும்
எண்ணத்திலே தெளிவிருக்கும்.....
Whatever you ask for here, you shall receive
Whatever is received will endure forever
Happiness sits enthroned here
There will be absolute clarity in thought
சின்னஞ்சிறு வீடு இது சிங்கார வீடு
This is a tiny house, a beautiful house
ஆசைமுகம் பேசும் விழி
அணைக்கும் கரம் அழைக்கும் விருந்து தரும்
ஆசைமுகம் பேசும் விழி
அணைக்கும் கரம் அழைக்கும் விருந்து தரும்
A cherished face and eyes that speak
Embracing hands that invite and offer a feast
A cherished face and eyes that speak
Embracing hands that invite and offer a feast
இங்கு காண்பதெல்லாம் புதுமை
நான் கனவில் கண்ட இனிமை
என்றும் நிறைந்திருக்கும்
இல்லறமும் சிறந்திருக்கும்.......
Everything seen here is a fresh wonder
The sweetness I witnessed in my dreams
It will forever remain abundant
Domestic life will flourish exquisitely
சின்னஞ்சிறு வீடு இது சிங்கார வீடு
அழகு சிரிக்கும் ஆனந்தம் கொண்டாடும்
பழகும் சுகம் இருக்கும்
பாசம் ஒன்றே குடியிருக்கும்.....
