எந்தன் பூவனத்தில் இன்று வசந்தம்
மலரே மலரே தூங்காதே
எந்தன் பூவனத்தில் இன்று வசந்தம்
மலரே மலரே தூங்காதே
Today, spring has arrived in my flower garden.
Oh flower, oh flower, do not sleep.
Today, spring has arrived in my flower garden.
Oh flower, oh flower, do not sleep.
இனி என் ஆசனம் ஒரு சிம்மாசனம்
அழகே வா அமுதே இனி கண்ணீர் இல்லை
தினம் பன்னீர் மழை மகனே வா அருகே
From now on, my seat is a royal throne.
Come, my beauty, my nectar; there are no more tears now.
Every day brings a shower of rosewater; my son, come close to me.
எந்தன் பூவனத்தில் இன்று வசந்தம்
மலரே மலரே தூங்காதே
Today, spring has arrived in my flower garden.
Oh flower, oh flower, do not sleep.
வைகறை வேளையில் வாசலில் கோலம்
வைரங்கள்தான் அதில் புள்ளிகள் ஆகும்
வானவில் பூமியில் வந்து இறங்கும்
ஜன்னலின் கம்பிக்கு வண்ணங்கள் பூசும்
In the early hours of dawn, a rangoli pattern adorns the doorstep,
Where diamonds themselves become the dots.
The rainbow will descend down to earth,
Painting vibrant colors onto the window bars.
ஆஹா அன்பே நிலவுகள் உலவிடும் நெடுநிலை மாடம்
காதல் தேரில் தேவதை ஜாதிகள் மாலைகள் போடும்
ஆசை ராணி ரகசிய நதிகளில் அதிசய ஓடம்
சந்தோஷ ராஜாங்கமே........
Ah my love, a tall balcony where the moons stroll about,
Where heavenly angels shower garlands on the chariot of love,
A miraculous boat floating on the secret rivers of the queen of desire,
A kingdom of sheer happiness!
இனி என் ஆசனம் ஒரு சிம்மாசனம்
அழகே வா அமுதே இனி கண்ணீர் இல்லை
தினம் பன்னீர் மழை மகனே வா அருகே
From now on, my seat is a royal throne.
Come, my beauty, my nectar; there are no more tears now.
Every day brings a shower of rosewater; my son, come close to me.
எந்தன் பூவனத்தில் இன்று வசந்தம்
மலரே மலரே தூங்காதே
Today, spring has arrived in my flower garden.
Oh flower, oh flower, do not sleep.
என் மகன் கல்விக்கு விருதுகள் வாங்க
கண்களின் ஓரங்கள் ஈரங்களாக
மங்கல மங்கையின் மணமகனாக
இந்திரா வீதியில் ஊர்வலம் போக
As my son receives awards for his education,
Tears of joy moisten the corners of my eyes.
As he becomes the bridegroom to an auspicious maiden,
And travels in procession along the grand street of Lord Indra.
காதல் ஜோடி முதல் இரவறையின் கதவுகள் மூட
பேரன் வந்து கதவுகள் திறந்தென் மடியினில் ஆட
பேரன் சிந்தும் ஆனந்த அருவியில் நீ நனைந்தாட
தள்ளாடும் உல்லாசமே
As the doors close for the loving couple's first night,
A grandchild arrives, opening doors to play on my lap.
May you bathe in the joyful waterfall poured by your grandchild,
In staggering, ecstatic bliss!
இனி என் ஆசனம் ஒரு சிம்மாசனம்
அழகே வா அமுதே இனி கண்ணீர் இல்லை
தினம் பன்னீர் மழை மகனே வா அருகே....
From now on, my seat is a royal throne.
Come, my beauty, my nectar; there are no more tears now.
Every day brings a shower of rosewater; my son, come close to me.
