மழையின்
துளியில் லயமிருக்குது
துளிகள் விழுந்து ஸ்வரம்
பிரிக்குது மாமா என் மாமா
In the raindrops
There is rhythm
The drops fall
And separate into musical notes
Uncle... my uncle
மலரின் இதழில்
பனி விழுந்தது மயங்கி
மயங்கி மலர் எழுந்தது
மாமா என் மாமா
On the flower's petal
Dew has fallen
Swooning and faint
The flower arose
Uncle... my uncle
தூவானம் தூவும்
அதில் ஏதேதோ கானம்
ஆராரோ பாடும் அதில்
ஆனந்தம் கூடும்
Drizzle sprinkles
There is some song in it
Sings a lullaby
In which joy increases
மழையின்
துளியில் லயமிருக்குது
துளிகள் விழுந்து ஸ்வரம்
பிரிக்குது மாமா என் மாமா
In the raindrops
There is rhythm
The drops fall
And separate into musical notes
Uncle... my uncle
{ ஆகாயம் அங்கும்
இங்கும் ஆயிரம் ஆயிரம்
பூக்கோலம் தாழ்வாரம்
எங்கும் வண்ணம் தங்கம்
மின்னும் மாக்கோலம் } (2)
In the sky, here and there
Thousands and thousands of flower rangolis
Everywhere in the corridor, full of colors
A grand kolam shining like gold
பூவோடு பூங்காற்றும்
பூபாளம் பாடாதோ பெண்ணான
என்னுள்ளம் பூப்போல ஆடாதோ
In the sky, here and there
Thousands and thousands of flower rangolis
Everywhere in the corridor, full of colors
A grand kolam shining like gold
பாசமெனும்
கூட்டில் பல பாடம்
பெறும் கிளிகள் பாடி
வரும் பாட்டில் பல
பாவம் பெறும் மொழிகள்
Along with the flower, won't the gentle breeze
Sing a morning raga?
My feminine heart
Won't it dance like a flower?
நாதமென்று
கீதமென்று சேர்ந்தது
வழிகள்
In the nest of affection
Parrots that learn many lessons
In the song that comes singing
மழையின்
துளியில் லயமிருக்குது
துளிகள் விழுந்து ஸ்வரம்
பிரிக்குது மாமா என் மாமா
Languages that express many emotions
Calling it sound
Calling it song
The paths joined together
In the raindrops
மலரின் இதழில்
பனி விழுந்தது மயங்கி
மயங்கி மலர் எழுந்தது

The drops fall
And separate into musical notes

Dew has fallen
Swooning and faint
{ அன்பான நெஞ்சம்
எல்லாம் ஆண்டவன் வாழும்
கோவிலது யாரோடு யாரைக்
கண்டு சங்கமம் ஆகப்
போகிறது } (2)
The flower arose
Uncle... my uncle
Aaaa... aaaaaa
Lalala lalala laaalaa..laa laa
எந்நாளும் சங்கீதம்
நம்மோடு ஒன்றாகும்
எப்போதும் சந்தோஷம்
நம்மோடு வந்தாடும்
Every loving heart
Is a temple where God resides
With whom will whom meet
To become a union?
வானம் எங்கும்
பறந்து நான் தேடும் இளம்
வயது சோகங்களை மறந்து
இது ராகம் தரும் மனது
Every loving heart
Is a temple where God resides
With whom will whom meet
To become a union?
சேர்ந்ததென்று
பாடுதம்மா ஆனந்தம்
எனது
Forever music
Will become one with us
Always happiness
மழையின்
துளியில் லயமிருக்குது
துளிகள் விழுந்து ஸ்வரம்
பிரிக்குது மாமா என் மாமா
Will come and dance with us
