Shining softly at the edge of the eyes
Let limbs dance and seek bliss
Let a trial run of joy overflow everywhere
சங்கீதம் கொண்டாட சந்தோசம் உண்டாக
பொன்னான நேரம் இந்நேரம்
என்னென்ன எண்ணங்கள்
என்னென்ன வண்ணங்கள்
மின்னாமல் மின்னும் கண்ணோரம்
அங்கங்கள் ஆடட்டும் ஆனந்தம் தேடட்டும்
இன்பத்தின் வெள்ளோட்டம் எங்கேயும் பொங்கட்டும்

There is an intoxication in music
Joined together at this moment
For so many hearts to sway
As I sing soft music
இசையிலே ஒரு போதை
இணைந்ததே இந்த வேளை
எத்தனையோ மனம் தள்ளாட
மெல்லிசை தான் நான் பாட
Unsung ragas, unplayed rhythms
An unheard song is my song
Every day is my song
Like an everlasting gentle breeze
Everyone should appreciate
பாடாத ராகங்கள் போடாத தாளங்கள்
கேட்காத கானம் என் கானம்
நாள் தோறும் என் பாட்டு
நீங்காத பூங்காற்று
பாரட்ட வேண்டும் எல்லோரும்
Listen to the concert, clap your hands
Watch the disco, offer your good wishes
