கண்ணே கண்ணே
உன்னை கண்டதோர் வரமே
நெஞ்சில் வைத்தே
கொஞ்ச எண்ணுவேன் நாளெல்லாமே
My dear child, my precious eye,
Seeing you is a divine blessing.
I have held you close in my heart,
And I long to fondle you all day long.
சுடரி சுடரின் தொடரி
சுகமே சொந்தம் கை நீட்டுதம்மா
பகலே பகலின் எழிலே
வெளிச்சம் உள்ளே பூக்குதம்மா
Oh flame, a continuation of the light,
Is warmth and kinship extending its hands, my dear?
Oh daytime, the true beauty of the day,
Does light bloom within me, my child?
அமுத கடலில் நானே
விழ இதயம் குலுங்குதே
மழையும் வெயிலும் சேர்ந்தே வர
உயிரும் தழும்புதே
As I fall into this ocean of nectar,
My heart trembles with joy.
As the rain and sunshine arrive together,
My soul overflows with emotion.
சுடரி சுடரின் தொடரி
சுகமே சொந்தம் கை நீட்டுதம்மா
பகலே பகலின் எழிலே
வெளிச்சம் உள்ளே பூக்குதம்மா
Oh flame, a continuation of the light,
Is warmth and kinship extending its hands, my dear?
Oh daytime, the true beauty of the day,
Does light bloom within me, my child?
பால் நிலவே நேரம் பார்த்து
கீழ் வருமோ சாதம் ஊட்ட
ஏழ் இசையும் கைகள் கோர்த்து
பாடிடுமோ தூளி ஆட்ட
Will the milky moon watch the time,
And come down to feed you rice?
Will the seven musical notes join hands,
And sing to gently rock your cradle?
கடவுள் கொடுத்த புதையலே
குழந்தை வடிவில் கிடைத்ததோ
மனதில் விரிந்த மகிழம் பூ
எதிரில் சிரித்ததோ
Is this a hidden treasure granted by God,
Received now in the form of a child?
Has the Magizhampoo flower blooming in my heart,
Smiled directly in front of me?
சுடரி சுடரின் தொடரி
சுகமே சொந்தம் கை நீட்டுதம்மா
பகலே பகலின் எழிலே
வெளிச்சம் உள்ளே பூக்குதம்மா
Oh flame, a continuation of the light,
Is warmth and kinship extending its hands, my dear?
Oh daytime, the true beauty of the day,
Does light bloom within me, my child?
தேன் மழை போல் பேசும் பேச்சை
நாள் முழுதும் கேட்டால் போதும்
பூ விழிகள் காட்டும் காட்சி
நீர் மதகை மோதும் கோலம்
Your sweet words sound like a rain of honey,
It is enough just to listen to them all day long.
The sight shown by your flower-like eyes,
Is like water crashing against a sluice gate.
அருவி வழியும் அழகு மேல்
உனது சிரிப்பில் சிதறுதே
சிணுங்கும் உனது குரலிலே
உலகம் விடியுதே
The serene beauty of a cascading waterfall,
Scatters joyfully in your smile.
In the tender babbling of your voice,
The entire world dawns anew.
கண்ணே கண்ணே
உன்னை கண்டதோர் வரமே
நெஞ்சில் வைத்தே
கொஞ்ச எண்ணுவேன் நாளெல்லாமே
My dear child, my precious eye,
Seeing you is a divine blessing.
I have held you close in my heart,
And I long to fondle you all day long.
