இறைவன் எனக்கொரு உலகத்தை படைத்து
இன்பத்தை குவிச்சு வச்சான்
அதில் இருப்பதை எல்லாம் ரசிப்பதற்காக
இளமையை கொடுத்து வச்சான்
God created a world for me
And heaped up happiness in it.
To relish everything that exists in it,
He blessed me with youthfulness.
இறைவன் எனக்கொரு உலகத்தை படைத்து
இன்பத்தை குவிச்சு வச்சான்
அதில் இருப்பதை எல்லாம் ரசிப்பதற்காக
இளமையை கொடுத்து வச்சான்

And heaped up happiness in it.
To relish everything that exists in it,
He blessed me with youthfulness.
விசில் :
................................
When youthful speed grows,
Doesn't one fly in the sky?
When appreciation for life is born,
Doesn't love smile?
வாலிப வேகம் வளர்ந்திடும் போது
வானில் பறக்காதோ
வாழ்க்கையில் ரசனை பிறந்திடும் போது
காதல் சிரிக்காதோ
Nurturing desires in the spell of beauty,
He enabled us to find comfort.
Nurturing desires in the spell of beauty,
He enabled us to find comfort.
Here, giving woman as a gift to man,
He set the play of life in motion...
அழகின் மயக்கத்தில் ஆசையை வளர்த்து
ஆறுதல் காண வச்சான்
அழகின் மயக்கத்தில் ஆசையை வளர்த்து
ஆறுதல் காண வச்சான்
இங்கு ஆணுக்கு பெண்ணை சீதனம் கொடுத்து
ஆட்டத்தை துவக்கி வச்சான்.....
God created a world for me
And heaped up happiness in it.
To relish everything that exists in it,
He blessed me with youthfulness.
இறைவன் எனக்கொரு உலகத்தை படைத்து
இன்பத்தை குவிச்சு வச்சான்
அதில் இருப்பதை எல்லாம் ரசிப்பதற்காக
இளமையை கொடுத்து வச்சான்
In the wind that dances without a stage,
Soft music is born and flows.
In the lap of crores of living beings,
Poems crawl and blossom.
மேடையில்லாமல் ஆடிடும் காத்தில்
மெல்லிசை பிறந்து வரும்
கோடான கோடி உயிர்கள் மடியில்
கவிதைகள் தவழ்ந்து வரும்
Erecting a arbor for the spreading vine,
He made fruits ripen and sway.
There, crores of birds celebrate relationships
And forget their hunger.
படரும் கொடிக்கொரு பந்தலை அமைத்து
பழுத்து குலுங்க வச்சான்
அதில் பறவைகள் கோடி உறவுக் கொண்டாடி
பசியை மறக்க வச்சான்......
If one goes on a procession atop a boat,
Doesn't the heart feel refreshed and cool?
In eyes that speak without making a sound,
Doesn't the truth become clear?
விசில் :
..................................
Giving sight to the youthful mind,
He laid out a clear path.
In it, both for learning and for rejoicing,
He set aside dedicated time...
ஓடத்தின் மேலே ஊர்வலம் போனால்
உள்ளம் குளிராதோ......
ஓசையில்லாமல் பேசிடும் கண்ணில்
உண்மை புரியாதோ
God created a world for me
And heaped up happiness in it.
To relish everything that exists in it,
He blessed me with youthfulness.
பருவ மனசுக்கு பார்வையைக் கொடுத்து
பாதையை வகுத்து வச்சான்
அதில் படிப்பதற்கென்றும் களிப்பதற்கென்றும்
நேரத்தை ஒதுக்கி வச்சான்....
இறைவன் எனக்கொரு உலகத்தை படைத்து
இன்பத்தை குவிச்சு வச்சான்
அதில் இருப்பதை எல்லாம் ரசிப்பதற்காக
இளமையை கொடுத்து வச்சான்
