இதுவென்ன ஆனந்தமோ ஆஹா

கதிரவன் கிரணம் கலந்ததினாலே
மதுமலர் வதனம் மகிழ்ந்ததின்னாளே
இதமுறு இயற்கை காட்சி இதாலே
எனையே அறியாமலே ஆஹா....
இதுவென்ன ஆனந்தமோ ஆஹா
இதுவென்ன ஆனந்தமோ
Because the warmth of the sun's rays merged,
Because the honeyed flower-like face bloomed with joy,
Because of this soothing view of nature,
Without me even realizing it, aha!
What kind of bliss is this, ah!
What kind of bliss is this?
புகைப் பனி இருளும் போயினதென்றே
புள்ளினம் கூவி அழைத்தது நன்றே ஆஆஆ..
புகைப் பனி இருளும் போயினதென்றே
புள்ளினம் கூவி அழைத்தது நன்றே
புகலவும் முடியாத ஏதோ ஒன்றே
புதிதாய் உளம் புகுந்தே தோன்றும்
இதுவென்ன ஆனந்தமோ ஆஹா
இதுவென்ன ஆனந்தமோ.....
Declaring that the smoky mist and darkness have vanished,
The flock of birds chirped and called out delightfully...
Declaring that the smoky mist and darkness have vanished,
The flock of birds chirped and called out delightfully,
An indescribable feeling that cannot be expressed,
Enters my heart anew and unfolds.
What kind of bliss is this, ah!
What kind of bliss is this?
தேனார் பூவையில் சிறந்தது போலே
தேடும் உறவின் விருந்தது போலே
காணாதெதையோ கண்டது போலே
கண்டேன் வாழ்வினிலே ஆஹாஹா
இதுவென்ன ஆனந்தமோ ஆஹா
இதுவென்ன ஆனந்தமோ.....
Like the finest among honeyed maiden-like blossoms,
Like a feast of longed-for companionship,
Like discovering something never seen before,
I have found it in my life, aha!
What kind of bliss is this, ah!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses a protagonist's overwhelming sense of joy and wonder at a new awakening in life. Using lush imagery of nature—such as the morning sun dispelling mist, birds singing, and blooming flowers—the lyrics convey how an indescribable happiness has entered the singer's heart. It feels like discovering an unprecedented treasure or enjoying a feast of affection, making the singer question if all the world's happiness was exclusively reserved for them.

Moonaai (Initial Alliteration)
“Pugai pani irulum poyinathendrae / Pullinam koovi azhaithathu nandrae / Pugalavum mudiyaatha yedho ondrae / Pudhidhaai ulam pugunthae thondrum”
Repetition of the initial sound 'Pu-' across consecutive lines.
Upamai (Simile)
“Thaenaar poovaiyil siranthathu polae / Thedum uravin virunthathu polae / Kaanathathaiyoo kandadhu polae”
The word 'polae' (meaning 'like' or 'as') is used repeatedly to draw poetic comparisons between life's joy and sweet natural phenomena.
