மலர் கொடுத்தேன்
கை குலுங்க வளையலிட்டேன்
I gave flowers,
I adorned your wrists with jingling bangles.

மங்கை எந்தன் ராசாத்திக்கு நானே
இது ஒரு சீராட்டம்மா.....ஓ....
என்னையும் தாலாட்டம்மா
மகனோ மகளோ பிறக்கும்
என் வீடு நலமாக
மடியில் தவழும் உருவம்
என் தந்தை முகமாக
I gave flowers,
I adorned your wrists with jingling bangles.
For my queenly maiden, I myself did this.
This is a loving pampering, oh my dear...
Sing a lullaby to me as well.
Whether a son or daughter is born,
May my home flourish in prosperity.
The child crawling on the lap,
Bearing the face of my late father.

மகராணி முகம் இங்கு மெருகேருதோ
ஆடாத பொன்னூஞ்சல் ஆடு
பாடாத தென்பாங்கு பாடு

என் பாட்டில் ஒரு ராகம் உருவானது
என் வீட்டின் எண்ணிக்கை மூன்றானது
