கண்ணா நீ நினைபதென்ன
ராதையின் ராகங்களா
உந்தன் மனம் மகிழ்ந்திட
உயிர் பூக்களால் பூஜை செய்தேன்
Oh Krishna, what are you thinking of?
Is it Radha's melodies?
To make your heart happy,
I performed worship with living flowers.
ச க ரி க ம நி நி ச..........
Sa ga ri ga ma ni ni sa...
இளவெயில் இலைகளில் ஒளிர
இந்த யமுனையும் யுவதியாய் மிளிர
இதம் தரும் இளமையின் காற்றாய்
தழுவிடவே வா
என் இனியவளே வா
As the gentle morning sun shines on the leaves,
And this Yamuna glows like a young maiden,
Like a pleasant breeze of youth,
Come to embrace me,
Come, my sweet one.
சின்ன சின்ன மழை துளி சிதற
இந்த மலர்களம் வனமென வளர
மரங்கொத்தி பறவையை போலே
மனம் துளைத்தாய் வா
என் மன்மதனே வா
As tiny raindrops scatter,
And this flower vessel grows into a forest,
Like a woodpecker bird,
Come to peck and awaken my heart,
Come, my Cupid.
என் மனவானில் நீ
பொன் ஊஞ்சல் ஆடி மின்னும் நிலவே
என் சுவாசம் நீயே
மன்னவன் தோளில் மலர்கொடியானேன்
உன்னோடு என்னை உள்வாங்கி கொள்வாய்... நீ
In the sky of my heart, you are,
The shining moon swinging in a golden swing,
You are my breath.
I became a flowering creeper on the king's shoulders,
Absorb me into yourself... you.
இளவெயில் இலைகளில் ஒளிர
இந்த யமுனையும் யுவதியாய் மிளிர
இதம் தரும் இளமையின் காற்றாய்
தழுவிடவே வா
என் இனியவளே வா
As the gentle morning sun shines on the leaves,
And this Yamuna glows like a young maiden,
Like a pleasant breeze of youth,
Come to embrace me,
Come, my sweet one.
வண்ண ஜாலம் நிகழ்ந்தும்
வானின் மின்னல் போல வந்தாய்
கண்ணில் கோலம் வரைந்தே
உன்னை என்னில் ஏற்க நின்றேன்
Like lightning in the sky that performs magical colors,
You came into my life.
Drawing artistic patterns in my eyes,
I stood ready to accept you within me.
உன்னை கண்ட நொடியில்
நானோ என்னை இழந்து போனேன்
பெண்ணே உன்னை வடிக்க
பிரம்மன் செய்ததென்ன தவமோ
The moment I saw you,
I completely lost myself.
Oh girl, to sculpt you,
What penance did Lord Brahma perform?
உனக்குள்ளே உருகுகிறேனே
உயிர் நீயே உன்னில் கலந்தேனே
வரனே உன் வசமானேன்
புது வரவுக்கு வழியை விடு
சகியே நான் உனதானேன்
இனி சந்தோஷ உல்லாச சரசமிடு
I am melting inside you.
You are my life, I merged into you.
Oh groom, I became yours,
Make way for this new arrival.
Oh dear friend, I became yours,
From now on, let us indulge in joyful romance.
சின்ன சின்ன மழை துளி சிதற
இந்த மலர்களம் வனமென வளர
மரங்கொத்தி பறவையை போலே
மனம் துளைத்தாய் வா
என் மன்மதனே வா
As tiny raindrops scatter,
And this flower vessel grows into a forest,
Like a woodpecker bird,
Come to peck and awaken my heart,
Come, my Cupid.
தேனை உண்ணும் வண்டாய்
மலர் உன்னை தேடி வந்து நின்றேன்
வீணை மீட்டும் விரல் போல்
விழிகளில் ஜாடை காட்டி வென்றாய்
Like a beetle drinking honey,
I, the flower, came searching for you.
Like fingers plucking the Veena,
You won me over with gestures from your eyes.
வானவில்லை போலே
வாழ்வில் வண்ணம் சேர்க்க வந்தாய்
ஞான கள்வனாக
என்னுள் கன்னம் இட்டு நுழைந்தாய்
Like a rainbow,
You came to add color to my life.
As a clever thief,
You broke into my heart.
மணம் வீசும் மலர் அல்லவோ நீ
ஓ மனம் பேசும் மதனல்லவோ நீ
Aren't you a fragrant flower?
Oh, aren't you the Cupid who speaks to the heart?
ஸ்ருதியோடு ஜதி போல
இனி இருவரும் இசைந்திருப்போம்
கடல் சேரும் நதி போல
தனி உல்லாச தடங்களை வகுத்திடுவோம்
Like rhythm attuned to pitch,
We shall remain united from now on.
Like a river joining the sea,
We shall carve out unique paths of bliss.
இளவெயில் இலைகளில் ஒளிர
இந்த யமுனையும் யுவதியாய் மிளிர
இதம் தரும் இளமையின் காற்றாய்

This lyrical song presents a romantic duet filled with rich classical imagery, drawing comparisons to Lord Krishna and Radha's eternal devotion.

Through references to the Yamuna river, gentle morning light, rain, and rhythmic scales, the song captures the essence of longing, spiritual union, and intimate affection between two devoted souls. The poetic dialogue showcases how love brings harmony, just like pitch aligning with rhythm or a river naturally flowing into the vast sea.
