என் ராஜாவின் ரோஜா முகம்
திங்கள் போல் சிரிக்கும்
செவ்வாயில் பால் மணக்கும்
My king's rose-like face
Smiles like the full moon
Smells of milk on red lips
என் ராஜாவின் ரோஜா முகம்
திங்கள் போல் சிரிக்கும்
செவ்வாயில் பால் மணக்கும்
My king's rose-like face
Smiles like the full moon
Smells of milk on red lips
பட்டு இதழ் பெட்டகத்தை
மெல்ல திறந்து
கொட்டித் தரும் சக்கரையோ முத்த விருந்து
தத்தித் தத்தித் தளர் நடை தடுமாற
Opening gently the treasure box
Of silky lips
Is it sweet sugar pouring out a feast of kisses?
As you toddle with faltering steps
தத்தித் தத்தித் தளர் நடை தடுமாற
தொட்டுத் தொட்டுத் கட்டிக் கொண்டேன் மனமாற
As you toddle with faltering steps
I embraced you touching with my heart's full contentment
என் ராஜாவின் ரோஜா முகம்
திங்கள் போல் சிரிக்கும்
செவ்வாயில் பால் மணக்கும்
My king's rose-like face
Smiles like the full moon
Smells of milk on red lips
கல்விக் கண்ணைத் திறந்திடப் பள்ளியிருக்க
கற்றுக் கொண்டு மேதை என்று பேரெடுக்க
கல்விக் கண்ணைத் திறந்திடப் பள்ளியிருக்க
கற்றுக் கொண்டு மேதை என்று பேரெடுக்க
உன்னப் பெற்ற அன்னை என்று என்னைப் புகழ
இன்னும் பல ஆசை உண்டு சொல்லி மகிழ
There is a school to open the eyes of education
To learn and earn the name of a genius
There is a school to open the eyes of education
To learn and earn the name of a genius
So people praise me as the mother who gave birth to you
I have many more desires to express and rejoice
என் ராஜாவின் ரோஜா முகம்
My king's rose-like face
சின்னஞ்சிறு சிறகுகள் முளைத்திருக்க
சிட்டுப்போல் வட்டமிட்டு நீ பறக்க
சின்னஞ்சிறு சிறகுகள் முளைத்திருக்க
சிட்டுப்போல் வட்டமிட்டு நீ பறக்க
மன்னன் பேர் மண்ணைத் தொட்டு விண்ணை அளக்க
அன்னை மனம் ஓடி வரும் அள்ளி அணைக்க
அள்ளி அணைக்க
ஆ...ஆ...ஆஹா ஆ...ஆ...ஆஹா ஆ.....
Sprouting tiny little wings
Flying around like a sparrow
Sprouting tiny little wings
Flying around like a sparrow
As the king's fame touches the earth and measures the sky
The mother's heart will run to gather and embrace you
Gather and embrace
Aa…aa… aa… aa… aahaa aahaa aa…
என் ராஜாவின் ரோஜா முகம்
திங்கள் போல் சிரிக்கும்
செவ்வாயில் பால் மணக்கும்
My king's rose-like face
Smiles like the full moon
Smells of milk on red lips
மண்ணில் உள்ள தங்கத்திற்கும்
மதிப்பிருக்கும்
துன்பம் கூட நல்லவர்க்கு
வாழ்வளிக்கும்
உண்மை அன்பு உன்னிடத்தில் உள்ளவரைக்கும்
உன்னைத்தான் தேடிவரும் வெற்றிப் பதக்கம்
ஆ.....ஆ.....ஆ.....ஆ.....ஓஹ்ஹோ ஓஹ்ஹோ ஹோ.....
Gold upon the earth
Has a great value
Even suffering, for good people,
Will bless them with life
As long as true love remains within you
The medal of victory will seek you out on its own
Aa… aa… aa… aa… ohoho ohoho ho…
என் ராஜாவின் ரோஜா முகம்
திங்கள் போல் சிரிக்கும்
செவ்வாயில் பால் மணக்கும்
