Will now grow further like the waxing moon.
In the decorative pattern of our shared desires,
A child shall soon be born.

புழுதி காட்டு வாழ்க்கையில்
கட்டி தங்கம் வந்ததே
அடியே என் கொடியே
ஒரு பரிசு கேளடி
In our life filled with dust and hardship,
A precious block of pure gold has arrived.
Hey my dear flower-like creeper,
Ask me for any gift you wish, my girl.
மடியை ஏந்தி வந்ததும்
ஒரு புதையல் தந்த சாமியே
நீயே என் பரிசு
இனி புதுசா வேணுமா
When I came spreading my lap in prayer,
You were the deity who granted me a treasure!
You yourself are my ultimate gift,
Do I need anything new anymore?

My cherished flowering vine,
Your life energy is now doubled!
Including my share of nourishment,
Eat well and take care of yourself.
சுக்க மிஞ்சிய மருந்து இருக்கா
உன்னை காட்டிலும் உறவு இருக்கா
பெத்த தாயை போல் நீ தாங்க
கண்ணு பேரு காலம் எனக்கு
Is there a better remedy than dry ginger?
Is there a deeper relationship than you?
You protect like a birth mother,
This season of parenthood is a blessing for me.
தாய் பால் ஊட்டும் வேளையில்
தமிழும் சேர்த்து ஊட்டனும்
ஊரே கொண்டாட
அத பார்த்து ரசிக்கணும்
While feeding breast milk to the baby,
You must feed the sweet Tamil language too.
For the whole village to celebrate,
I want to watch and relish that sight.
வீட்டு பாடம் போலவே
மாட்டு பாடம் படிக்கணும்
கல்வி விவசாயம் ரெண்டும்
கண்கள் ஆகுமே
Just like homework from school,
Lessons on caring for cattle must be taught.
Both education and agriculture,
Shall serve as our two eyes.
ஆகாய ஊஞ்சலில்
தாலாட்டி பார்க்கணும்
ஊர் ஆளும் பிள்ளையாய்
ஆள் ஆக்கணும்
In a cradle swung high in the sky,
I want to rock our baby to sleep with lullabies.
As a child destined to guide our town,
They should grow into a great human being.
உன் வயதில் வளருது
ஒரு விளக்கு
வம்சம் வளக்குற திரு விளக்கு
மாசம் பத்துல பொறக்கும்
புள்ளைக்கு மாலை காத்து இருக்கு
Inside your body, there is growing,
A bright lamp of life.
A sacred lamp that elevates our entire lineage.
For the child who will be born in ten months,
A welcoming garland is waiting.
கண்ணே என் கண்ணே
உன் கன்னத்தில் செவ்வானமா
பெண்ணே செம்பொன்னே
அது தாய்மையின் வண்ணமா
My beloved, oh my beloved,
Is that a reddish twilight sky blooming on your cheek?
My woman, my pure golden heart,

Will now grow further like the waxing moon.
In the decorative pattern of our shared desires,
A child shall soon be born.
இருவரும் :
நீயும் நானும் தாயும் தந்தை
ஆகும் காலமே
