நான் பாடும் ராகம் ஆனந்த ராகம்தான்
சந்தோஷம்தானே வருவது சங்கீதம் தானே
இன்பங்கள் கொள்ளை நானிங்கு நானில்லை
சோகங்கள் இல்லை மலர்ந்தது ஆனந்த முல்லை
The melody I sing
Is indeed a melody of pure joy
It is pure happiness
What flows forth is sweet music
An abundance of joy
I lose my own self here
There are no sorrows here
The jasmine of bliss has bloomed
என்னோடு சேர்ந்து வானமும்
கானங்கள் பாடாதோ
அன்பான நெஞ்சம், தாலாட்ட
என் பெண்மை கண் மூடுதோ
Along with me, the sky too
Will it not sing melodies?
As a loving heart lulls me to rest
Does my womanhood close its eyes in peace?
நெஞ்சோடு கேள்வி கேளாமல்
நானிங்கு வாழ்கின்றேன்
சந்தோஷம் ஒன்றே காண்கின்றேன்
சொந்தங்கள் கொண்டாடினேன்
எல்லாமே மறந்து இன்பங்கள் சுமந்து
எப்போதும் பண்பாடினேன்
Without asking any questions to my heart
I live here in contentment
I see only happiness all around
I celebrated my relationships
Forgetting everything, carrying pure joy
I always sang musical tunes
நான் பாடும் ராகம் ஆனந்த ராகம்தான்
சந்தோஷம்தானே வருவது சங்கீதம் தானே
The melody I sing
Is indeed a melody of pure joy
It is pure happiness
What flows forth is sweet music
அன்பென்னும் தீபம் ஏற்றினேன்
சொந்தங்கள் போகாது
பண்பான உள்ளம் பார்க்கின்றேன்
பந்தங்கள் மாறாதது
I lit the lamp called love
Relationships will never depart
I behold a refined and kind heart
These precious bonds will never change
நேற்றென்ன வாழ்வில் நேர்ந்தது
என் நெஞ்சு அறியாது
இன்றோடு வாழ்வில் ஆனந்தம்
வேறென்ன நான் சொல்வது
தன்னைத்தான் மறந்து அன்பில்தான் விழுந்து
பெண்ணுள்ளம் பண்பாடுது.....
Whatever happened in life yesterday
My heart does not care to recall
Starting today, life itself is sheer bliss
What else is left for me to say?
Forgetting oneself and falling into love
A woman's heart sings joyous tunes
நான் பாடும் ராகம் ஆனந்த ராகம்தான்
சந்தோஷம்தானே வருவது சங்கீதம் தானே
இன்பங்கள் கொள்ளை நானிங்கு நானில்லை
சோகங்கள் இல்லை மலர்ந்தது ஆனந்த முல்லை
The melody I sing
Is indeed a melody of pure joy
It is pure happiness
What flows forth is sweet music
An abundance of joy
I lose my own self here
There are no sorrows here
The jasmine of bliss has bloomed
Naan paadum raagam
The melody I sing
Aanaandha raagam thaan
Is indeed a melody of pure joy
Sandhosam thaanae
It is pure happiness
Varuvadhu sangeetham thaanae
What flows forth is sweet music
Inbangal kollai
An abundance of joy
Naaningu naan illai
I lose my own self here
Sogangal illai
There are no sorrows here
Malarnthathu aanandha mullai
The jasmine of bliss has bloomed
Ennodu sernthu vaanamum
Along with me, the sky too
Gaanangal paadathoo
Will it not sing melodies?
Anbaana nenjam thaalatta
As a loving heart lulls me to rest
En penmai kan mooduthoo
