மலர் கொடுத்தேன்
கை குலுங்க வளையலிட்டேன்
I gave flowers
I placed bangles on your jangling hands
மலர் கொடுத்தேன்
கை குலுங்க வளையலிட்டேன்
மங்கை எந்தன் ராசாத்திக்கு நானே
இது ஒரு சீராட்டம்மா.....ஓ....
என்னையும் தாலாட்டம்மா
I gave flowers
I placed bangles on your jangling hands
Myself, to my royal young woman
This is a loving pampering, Oh dear...
It lulls even me to sleep, dear
மகனோ மகளோ பிறக்கும்
என் வீடு நலமாக
மடியில் தவழும் உருவம்
என் தந்தை முகமாக
இது ஒரு சீராட்டம்மா.....ஓ....
என்னையும் தாலாட்டம்மா
Whether a son or a daughter is born
For the well-being of my home
May the child crawling on the lap
Bear the face of my father
This is a loving pampering, Oh dear...
It lulls even me to sleep, dear
அம்மாடி உன் மேனி பால் வண்ணமோ
அழகான உன் பிள்ளை தேன் கிண்ணமோ
அம்மாடி உன் மேனி பால் வண்ணமோ
அழகான உன் பிள்ளை தேன் கிண்ணமோ
மாதங்கள் பதமாக உருவானதோ
மகராணி முகம் இங்கு மெருகேருதோ
ஆடாத பொன்னூஞ்சல் ஆடு
பாடாத தென்பாங்கு பாடு
Oh dear, is your complexion the color of milk?
Is your beautiful child a cup of honey?
Oh dear, is your complexion the color of milk?
Is your beautiful child a cup of honey?
Has the child taken shape perfectly over the months?
Does the queen's face glow brighter today?
Sway, unswung golden swing
Sing, unsung sweet melodic song
மலர் கொடுத்தேன்
கை குலுங்க வளையலிட்டேன்
மங்கை எந்தன் ராசாத்திக்கு நானே
இது ஒரு சீராட்டம்மா.....ஓ....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses the deep love and tender affection of a husband celebrating his pregnant wife during a traditional bangle-wearing ceremony (Valaikappu). He presents her with flowers, adorns her wrists with bangles, and sings of his joy, eagerly anticipating their unborn child—whether a son or daughter—and wishing for the baby to resemble his father while bringing prosperity to their home.
