நிலம் இடம்
மாறினாலும் நிழல்
நிறம் மாறினாலும்

...........................
பூபாளம் கேட்கும்
அதிகாலையும் பூஞ்சோலை
பூக்கும் இளமாலையும்
The early morning that hears the raga Boopaalam
The gentle evening when the flower garden blooms
நீ அன்றி ஏது
ஒரு ஞாபகம் நீ பேசும்
பேச்சு மணிவாசகம்
Without you, what memory exists?
The words you speak are like sacred scriptures
உள்ளம் என்னும்
வீடெங்கும் உன் அழகில்
நான் தானே சித்திரத்தை
போல் என்றும் ஒட்டி
வைத்து பார்ப்பேனே
Throughout the house called my heart
I am immersed in your beauty
Always like a portrait
I will stick and gaze at you
உன் பருவம்
இளந்தளிரே உனக்கென
நான் வாழ்கிறேன்
Your youth is like a tender sprout
I live only for you
மலரே தென்றல்
பாடும் கானம் இது
நிலவே உன்னை கூடும்
வானம் இது
O flower, this is the song sung by the breeze
O moon, this is the sky that joins with you
...........................
மாங்கல்யம்
சூடும் மண நாள் வரும்
கல்யாண மாலை இரு
தோள் வரும்
The wedding day of tying the sacred knot will come
The wedding garland will rest on both shoulders
வாய் ஆற
வாழ்த்த இந்த ஊர்
வரும் ஊர்கோலம்
போக மணி தேர் வரும்
This town will arrive to bless wholeheartedly
An ornate chariot will arrive for the procession
சொல்லியது
போலே நம் சொர்கங்கள்
கை கூடும் வந்ததொரு
நாள் என்றே சிந்து கவி
கண் பாடும்
As promised, our heaven on earth will come together
My eyes will sing poetic verses celebrating that day
வலை கரமும்
துணை கரமும் வரைந்திடும்
தேன் காவியம்
The bangled hand and the supportive hand
Will write a sweet epic together
மலரே தென்றல்
பாடும் கானம் இது
