தந்தை தாயின் தாமரைப் பாதம்
தரை மேல் படலாமா
மலர்கள் தூவும் கம்பளம் மீது
மெதுவாய் வரலாமா
Should the lotus feet of father and mother
Touch the bare ground?
On a carpet strewn with flowers,
May you walk softly?
கணவன் மனைவி இணையாய் நின்று
பணிகள் யாவும் புரிவோம் இன்று
திருக்கோவில் தெய்வம் ரெண்டு
எதிர் தோன்றும் கோலம் கண்டு
ஆனந்த கீதங்கள் நான் சொல்லவோ
Standing together sweetly as husband and wife,
We shall perform all duties today.
Seeing the two deities of the sacred temple
Appearing right before our eyes,
Shall I sing songs of joy?
எங்கே ராமன் அங்கே சீதை
நேற்றல்ல இன்றல்ல எந்நாளும் உன்னோடு
அம்மாவும் அப்பாவும் கண்ணே உன் பின்னோடு.....
Where Raman is, there Sita is as well,
Not just yesterday, not just today, but forever with you,
Mother and father, my dear, will always stand behind you.

என்றும் உள்ள தென்றலைப் போலே
மகனே நீ வாழ்க
நல்ல பிள்ளை பூமியில் இல்லை
உனக்கோர் இணையாக
Like the eternal cool breeze,
My son, long may you live!
Female: There is no child on this earth
Who can be equal to you.
மதுரை மீனாள் துணையாய் ஆனாள்
நலமே தந்து புவி மேல் நெடுநாள்
பெற்ற தாயின் உள்ளம் குளிர
அன்பு தந்தை நெஞ்சம் மகிழ
இருவர் :
ஆனந்தம் நீங்காமல் நீ வாழ்கவே
ஆனந்தம் நீங்காமல் நீ வாழ்கவே
Goddess Meenakshi of Madurai has become your support,
Female: Granting wellness on this earth for long days.
Male: So that the mother who gave birth feels heartwarming cool comfort,
Female: So that the loving father's heart rejoices,
Both: May you live with joy that never leaves!
May you live with joy that never leaves!
