இதய வானில் உலவுகின்ற புதிய மேகமே
இனிய ராகம் பாட வந்த இளைய நெஞ்சமே
வசந்தங்கள் அழைக்கின்றதே
வரவேற்பு தருகின்றதே....
Oh new cloud strolling in the sky of my heart
Oh young heart that arrived to sing a sweet melody
Springtime is calling out

இதய வானில் உலவுகின்ற புதிய மேகமே
இனிய ராகம் பாட வந்த இளைய நெஞ்சமே
Oh new cloud strolling in the sky of my heart
Oh young heart that arrived to sing a sweet melody
கரையோரம் அலைகளே
விளையாடும் பொழுதிலே
ஆசைக்கு முடி சூட்டவா
இமையோரம் விழிகளே
கதை பேசும் நிலையிலே
இன்பங்கள் நெஞ்சோடு உறவாடுமே
As the waves along the shore
Play together in time
Shall I crown all our desires?
As the eyes at the edge of eyelids
Speak stories in silent moments
Delights intimately intertwine with the heart
இது என்ன கூந்தலா மலராடும் ஊஞ்சலா
இதழென்ன தேனடைதானோ
நீயே என் கண்மணி சுவையூறும் மாங்கனி
சிந்தாமல் சிரிக்கின்ற சிந்தாமணி......
Is this luscious hair, or a swing adorned with flowers?
Are these lips a honeycomb?
You alone are my darling, a delicious mango fruit
A precious jewel smiling without spilling over
இதய வானில் உலவுகின்ற புதிய மேகமே
இனிய ராகம் பாட வந்த இளைய நெஞ்சமே
Oh new cloud strolling in the sky of my heart
Oh young heart that arrived to sing a sweet melody

...
செதுக்காத சிற்பமோ படிக்காத நாவலோ
சிங்கார கலைக் கூடமோ
கவி பாடும் வேளையில் ரவிவர்மன் ஓவியம்
கண்ணான கண்ணே உன் உருவானதோ
An uncarved sculpture, or an unread novel?
Or an art gallery filled with elegance?
When poets sing, a painting by Raja Ravi Varma
Oh precious darling, is it embodied in your form?
ஒரு கோடி ஆசைகள் உள்ளத்தின் ஓசைகள்
உருவாகும் சங்கீதமே
உன் பார்வை மோகனம் நானே உன் சீதனம்
உனக்காக என்றென்றும் நான் சொந்தமே...
A crore of desires, the inner sounds of the soul
Become the music being created
Your glance is enchanting, I am your wedding gift
I belong to you forever...
இதய வானில் உலவுகின்ற புதிய மேகமே
இனிய ராகம் பாட வந்த இளைய நெஞ்சமே
வசந்தங்கள் அழைக்கின்றதே
இருவர் :
வரவேற்பு தருகின்றதே....
