இது சங்கீத
திருநாளோ புது சந்தோஷம்
வரும் நாளோ ரதி நம் வீட்டில்
பிறந்தாளோ சிறு பூவாக
மலர்ந்தாளோ
Is this a festival day of music?
Is this a day bringing new happiness?
Was Rathi born in our home?
Did she blossom like a small flower?
சின்ன சின்ன
அசைவில் சித்திரங்கள்
வரைந்தாள் முத்த மழை
கன்னம் விழ நனைந்தாளே
கொஞ்சி கொஞ்சி பிஞ்சு
நடை நடந்தாளே
In tiny little movements
She drew beautiful pictures
A shower of kisses
She was drenched as it fell upon her cheek
Cooing lovingly
She walked with delicate, tender steps
இது சங்கீத
திருநாளோ புது சந்தோஷம்
வரும் நாளோ ரதி நம் வீட்டில்
பிறந்தாளோ சிறு பூவாக
மலர்ந்தாளோ
Is this a festival day of music?
Is this a day bringing new happiness?
Was Rathi born in our home?
Did she blossom like a small flower?
கைகளில் பொம்மைகள்
கொண்டு ஆடுவாள் கண்களை
பின்புறம் வந்து மூடுவாள்
செல்லம் கொஞ்சி தமிழ்
பாடுவாள்
In her hands
She plays holding her toys
My eyes
She comes from behind and covers
She affectionately hums sweet Tamil
தோள்களில்
கண்களை மெல்ல மூடுவாள்
உறங்கும் பொழுதும் என்னை
தேடுவாள் அங்கும் இங்கும்
துள்ளி ஓடுவாள்
On my shoulders
She softly closes her eyes
While sleeping
Even then she searches for me
She leaps and runs here and there
பூவெல்லாம் இவள்
போல அழகில்லை பூங்காற்று
இவள் போல சுகமில்லை இது
போல சொந்தங்கள் இனி இல்லை
எப்போதும் அன்புக்கு அழிவில்லை
இவள் தானே நம் தேவதை
No flower possesses beauty like hers
No gentle breeze brings comfort like her
There are no relationships quite like this
Love never perishes
She indeed is our angel
இது சங்கீத
திருநாளோ புது சந்தோஷம்
வரும் நாளோ ரதி நம் வீட்டில்
பிறந்தாளோ சிறு பூவாக
மலர்ந்தாளோ
Is this a festival day of music?
Is this a day bringing new happiness?
Was Rathi born in our home?
Did she blossom like a small flower?

நடக்கும் நடையில்
ஒரு தேர்வண்ணம் சிரிக்கும்
அழகில் ஒரு கீர்த்தனம்
கண்ணில் மின்னும்
ஒரு காவியம்
In the gait she walks
There is the elegance of a temple chariot
In the beauty of her smile
There is a divine musical composition
An epic poem shining in her eyes
மனதில் வரைந்து
வைத்த ஓவியம் நினைவில்
நனைந்து நிற்கும் பூவனம்
என்றும் எங்கும் இவள் ஞாபகம்
In the heart
A painting carefully drawn
In memories
A flower garden drenched
Her memory resides everywhere always
இவள் போகும்
வழியெங்கும் பூவாவேன்
இரு பக்கம் காக்கின்ற
கரையாவேன்
Along every path she treads
I shall become a flower
Protecting on both sides
I shall become the riverbank
இவளாடும்
பொன்னூஞ்சல் நானாவேன்
இதயத்தில் சுமக்கின்ற
தாயாவேன் எப்போதும்
தாலாட்டுவேன்
The golden swing she sways on
I shall become that
Carrying her in my heart
I shall become a mother
I will always sing lullabies to her
இது சங்கீத
