ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்
கண்ணின் மணியே....கண்ணின் மணியே
கண் கலங்க வாடுதம்மா
அண்ணன் மனமே
எந்தன் உயிரே எந்தன் உயிரே
எந்த துன்பம் வந்த போதும்
காப்பேன் உன்னையே
Hmm mm mm mmmm mm
Apple of my eye... apple of my eye
Your brother's heart wilts when your eyes tear up
Brother's heart
My very life, my very life
No matter what sorrow arrives
I will protect you
என்னை கொஞ்சம் பாரம்மா
அண்ணன் சொல்லை கேளம்மா
அச்சு வெல்லம் நீயம்மா
அழுவதும் ஏனம்மா
எப்போதும் சிரிப்பை தானே
நானும் கேட்கணும்
என் காயத்துக்கு மருந்தாக
நீங்க இருக்கனும்
Look at me a little, my dear
Listen to your brother's words, my dear
You are like sweet jaggery, my dear
Why are you crying, my dear...
It is always your laughter
That I want to hear
As a medicine for my pain
You must always be there
கண்ணின் மணியே....கண்ணின் மணியே
கண் கலங்க வாடுதம்மா
அண்ணன் மனமே
எந்தன் உயிரே எந்தன் உயிரே
எந்த துன்பம் வந்த போதும்
காப்பேன் உன்னையே
Apple of my eye... apple of my eye
Your brother's heart wilts when your eyes tear up
Brother's heart
My very life, my very life
No matter what sorrow arrives
I will protect you
ரொம்ப ரொம்ப பெரிய படிப்பு
நீங்க படிக்கணும்
பட்டணத்தில் கலெக்டர் ஆகி
பெருமை சேர்க்கணும்
தங்கைகளை உலகம் பார்த்து
புகழ்ந்து பேசணும்
அத்தனையும் கேட்டு கேட்டு
மனசு குளிரனும்
Very, very high education
You must pursue and study
Becoming a Collector in the city
You must bring us pride
Looking at my sisters, the world
Should speak words of praise
Hearing all of that repeatedly
My heart should feel delighted
ஊராரின் கண் படுமே
ஆரத்தி நான் எடுப்பேன்
பூவான கைகளுக்கு
மருதாணி பூசிடுவேன்
ரெட்டை ஜடை பின்னலின்
பூச்சூடி நான் மகிழ்வேன்
பாதைகளும் நோகையிலே
உப்பு மூட்டை தூக்கிடுவேன்
Lest the townsfolk's evil eye fall on you
I will perform the protective ritual
For your flower-soft hands
I will apply henna
Plaiting your hair into twin braids
Adorning flowers, I will rejoice
When your feet hurt from walking
I will carry you piggyback like a salt sack
தொட்டில் முதல் நீதான்
சோறும் ஊட்டினாய்தாய்க்கும் மேலாக
பாசம் காட்டினாய்
From the cradle itself, it was you
Who fed me rice
More than even a mother
You showered love upon me
கண்ணின் மணியே....கண்ணின் மணியே
கண் கலங்க வாடுதம்மா
அண்ணன் மனமே
எந்தன் உயிரே எந்தன் உயிரே
எந்த துன்பம் வந்த போதும்
காப்பேன் உன்னையே
Apple of my eye... apple of my eye
Your brother's heart wilts when your eyes tear up
Brother's heart
My very life, my very life
No matter what sorrow arrives
I will protect you
ஆஹாஆ.....
ஆஹாஆ.....
ஆஹாஆ.....
ஆஹாஆ.....
Aahaaaaa…
Aaahaaaa..
Aaaahaaaa…
Aaahaaaa…
மீண்டும் இந்த உலகத்திலே
நானும் பொறக்கணும்
கண்களுக்கு பார்வை அந்த
கடவுள் கொடுக்கணும்
தங்கை முகம்தானே நானும்
முதலில் பார்க்கணும்
அப்போது தங்கையாக
நீங்க இருக்கனும்
If I am born again into this world
I should be born
Sight for my eyes, that
God must grant me
My sister's face itself, I
Should see first
Even in that birth, as my sister
You must remain
என்னென்ன ஆசைகளோ
அத்தனையும் செய்திடுவேன்
தங்கத்திலே ஊஞ்சல்கட்டி
தங்கங்களை தூங்க வைப்பேன்
பொட்டாக ஒட்டிக்கொள்ள
வைரக்கல்லை வாங்கிடுவேன்
வெள்ளியிலே தேரு செஞ்சு
ஊர்கோலம் நடத்திடுவேன்
Whatever desires you have
I will fulfill every single one
Tie a swing made of gold
To put my precious treasures to sleep
To wear as a bindi on the forehead
I will buy diamond stones
Crafting a chariot made of silver
I will lead a grand procession
பெற்றெடுத்த பாடம்
வெறுத்து ஒதுக்குது
அண்ணனோட நேசம்
தோளில் சுமக்குது
The love of parents who gave birth
Has abandoned and shunned us
My brother's affection
Carries me on his shoulders
கண்ணின் மணியே....கண்ணின் மணியே
கண் கலங்க வாடுதம்மா
அண்ணன் மனமே
எந்தன் உயிரே எந்தன் உயிரே
எந்த துன்பம் வந்த போதும்
காப்பேன் உன்னையே
Apple of my eye... apple of my eye
Your brother's heart wilts when your eyes tear up
Brother's heart
My very life, my very life
No matter what sorrow arrives
I will protect you
