கனவில் மிதக்கும் இதயம் முழுதும்
புது ராகம் உருவாகும்
தினந்தோறும் எண்ணத்தின் இன்பத்திலே
எங்கெங்கும் வண்ணங்களே
The whole heart floating in a dream
A new melody is being formed
Every day in the bliss of thoughts
Vibrant colors are everywhere
கனவில் மிதக்கும் இதயம் முழுதும்
The whole heart floating in a dream
ஏய்...இளம் மனதே இசை பாடும் சுகங்கள்
ஓ.....தொடர்ந்தாடும் பல கனவே புது நினைவே
ஏய்...இளம் மனதே இசை பாடும் சுகங்கள்
ஓ.....தொடர்ந்தாடும் பல கனவே புது நினைவே
உன் எண்ணங்கள் எங்கெங்கும்
ஊர்க்கோலம் போகின்ற காலம் இனிக்கும்
Oh young heart, the joy of music singing
Oh, many dancing dreams and new memories
Oh young heart, the joy of music singing
Oh, many dancing dreams and new memories
Your thoughts everywhere
The sweet time when a procession goes on
கனவில் மிதக்கும் இதயம் முழுதும்
The whole heart floating in a dream
உன் சிறு இதயம் அது உந்தன் உலகம்
உன் மனம் போல விளையாடு உறவாடு
நீ என்றென்றும் எங்கெங்கும்
காண்கின்ற எல்லாமும் இன்பம்......
Your little heart is your own world
Play and bond as your heart desires
You, forever and everywhere
Everything you see is pure joy
