நாள் நல்ல நாள் புது நிலா பூச்சூடினாள்

கருவறையில் தீபம் ஏற்றினாள் உருகினாள்

காமதேவன் அன்று உன் மேல்
புள்ளி வைத்ததென்ன
காலமென்னும் தேவன் உன் மேல்
கண்கள் வைத்ததென்ன
கண்ட கதையை கட்டில் சொல்லுமே
நீ சொல்லி வைக்க வேண்டாமா
On that day, why did the god of love, Kamadeva...
...place a mark upon you?
Why did the god named Time...
...set his watchful eyes upon you?
The bed will whisper the stories it witnessed,
Should you not tell it to keep quiet?
இனி தொட்டிலிட்டு தாலாட்டு....
ஆ......ஆ......ஆ....ஆஆ....
தொட்டிலிட்டு தாலாட்டு....
மறுபடியும் கட்டிலிட்டு பாராட்டு
நலம் யாவும் வந்து சூழ்க
மலர் மஞ்சள் தினம் வாழ்க

Aa....aa.....aa.....aaa.....

கருவில் தீபம் ஏற்றி
நானே கோயிலாகி போனேன்
தாய்மை கொண்டதாலே
இன்று ரெண்டு ஜீவனானேன்
வானவில்லிலே மின்னல்களினால்
தொட்டில் கட்ட மாட்டடேனோ
Having lit a lamp inside my womb,
I myself have transformed into a sacred temple.
Because I have embraced motherhood,
Today I have become two living souls.
With flashes of lightning from a rainbow,
Shall I not tie a cradle for my little one?
இந்த பூவுக்குள்ளே போராட்டம் ம்ம்.....
ஆ......ஆ......ஆ....ஆஆ....
பூவுக்குள்ளே போராட்டம்
அடி வயிற்றில் சின்ன சின்ன தேரோட்டம்
இவள் வாழ்வே தவமாகும்
வரும் பிள்ளை வரமாகும்
Inside this delicate flower, there is a gentle struggle, mm...
Aa....aa....aa....aaa....
