: மனதிலே ஒரு பாட்டு
மழை வரும் அதைக் கேட்டு
There is a song in my heart
Hearing which, the rain will fall
மனதிலே ஒரு பாட்டு
மழை வரும் அதைக் கேட்டு
இது பூபாளம் புது ஆலோலம்
விழிப்பூவும் மலரும் காலை நேரம்..

Hearing which, the rain will fall
கோடை நீர் மேகம் கூடும்...
கோடி சங்கீதம் பாடும்....
பார்வை நீயென்று தேடும்...
பாசம் நெஞ்சோடு மூடும்...
Summer rain clouds gather
Singing ten million melodies
My gaze searches for you
Love envelops the heart
{கவிஞன் பாடாத
கவிதை நீயே
மொழியில் கூறாத
எனது தாயே} (2)
You are a poem unwritten by any poet
You are a poem
Unsaid in any language
O my mother! (Repeat)
இது ஒரு சுக ராகம்
இதில் வரும் பல பாவம்
படிக்கிறேன் படிக்கிறேன்
மழை மேகம் கூட வாழ்த்து கூறும்

There is a song in my heart
Hearing which, the rain will fall
நீயும் நூறாண்டு வாழ
நேரம் பொன்னாக மாற
நானும் பாமாலை போட....
தோளில் நான் வந்து சூட...
May you live for a hundred years
May time turn into gold
As I offer a garland of poems
And place it upon your shoulders
எனது ராகங்கள் எழுதும் வேதம்
புதிய தாகங்கள் விழியில் ஊறும்
எனது ராகங்கள் எழுதும் வேதம்
புதிய தாகங்கள் விழியில் ஊறும்
My ragas are
The scriptures written
New thirsts and desires
Well up in the eyes (Repeat)
எழுந்து வா இளம் பூவே
இசையிலே அழைத்தேனே
இனிமைகள் தொடர்கதை இனி
சோகம் ஏது சேரும் போது.........
Arise and come
O tender flower, I called you through music
Sweetness is a continuing story
Now what sorrow can remain when we unite?
மனதிலே ஒரு பாட்டு
மழை வரும் அதைக் கேட்டு
இது பூபாளம் புது ஆலோலம்
விழிப் பூவும் மலரும் காலை நேரம்..

Hearing which, the rain will fall
