காதல் பண்பாடு யோகம் கொண்டாடு
சிந்தாதே கண்ணீரை போதும் விடு
சந்தோஷம் பொங்கும் சங்கீத சங்கம்
ஏழை சிப்பி முத்துப்பிள்ளை ஈனும் தினம்
Sing the song of love, celebrate good fortune
Shed no tears, enough now, stop it
A musical confluence overflowing with joy
The day a poor oyster gives birth to a pearl child
காதல் பண்பாடு யோகம் கொண்டாடு
சிந்தாதே கண்ணீரை போதும் விடு
Sing the song of love, celebrate good fortune
Shed no tears, enough now, stop it
சங்கீத ஆறுதல் தந்தாளே பூமகள்
சங்கீத ஆறுதல் தந்தாளே பூமகள்
ஒரு கார்க்காலத்தில் என் பூந்தோட்டத்தில்
எதிர்ப்பாராத மாறுதல்
என் நெஞ்சின் பசி கண்ணீரின் ருசி
அவை தீராத சாபங்கள்
பாடகன் இங்கே மாலைகள் எங்கே
தேவதை எங்கே......சொல்லுங்களேன்
The flower-like maiden gave musical solace
The flower-like maiden gave musical solace
In a monsoon season, inside my flower garden
An unexpected transformation happened
My heart's hunger, the bitter taste of tears
Those are unceasing curses
Here is the singer, where are the garlands?
Where is the goddess... please tell me!
காதல் பண்பாடு யோகம் கொண்டாடு
சிந்தாதே கண்ணீரை போதும் விடு
Sing the song of love, celebrate good fortune
Shed no tears, enough now, stop it
சங்கீத சாதனை சந்தோஷ வேதனை
சங்கீத சாதனை சந்தோஷ வேதனை
என் நெஞ்சின் வலி இன்று தீரும் வழி
வந்து சொன்னாலே தேவதை
என் தேன் தேசத்தில் என் ராஜாங்கத்தில்
இனி நாள்தோறும் பூமழை
தேவதை எங்கே......சொல்லுங்களேன்
பாடகன் இங்கே மாலைகள் எங்கே
தேவதை எங்கே......சொல்லுங்களேன்
A musical achievement, a joyful agony
A musical achievement, a joyful agony
The way the pain in my heart dissolves today
The goddess arrived and revealed it
In my land of honey, in my kingdom
From now on, a shower of flowers every day
Here is the singer, where are the garlands?
Where is the goddess... please tell me!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song is a deeply emotional reflection on how music and love act as healing forces over past sorrow. The singer urges the listener (and himself) to stop weeping and celebrate the arrival of joy. He compares his humble existence to a poor shell that has finally produced a valuable pearl. The arrival of his beloved, whom he addresses as a divine goddess, transforms his enduring loneliness and heartache into a sweet kingdom blessed with daily showers of happiness.
