நான் உந்தன் தாயாக வேண்டும்
நீ எந்தன் சேயாக வேண்டும்
ஆனதெல்லாம் ஆகட்டுமே ஆறுதலே
சேரட்டுமே ஆனந்தமே வா
I wish to become your mother
You should become my child
Let whatever happened be over, oh comfort
Let joy gather, come
நான் உந்தன் தாயாக வேண்டும்
நீ எந்தன் சேயாக வேண்டும்.....
I wish to become your mother

ஆ.....போன காலம்
போன பின்னே
மாறிடும் காலங்கள் உந்தன் வாழ்விலே
வானம் யாவும் மேகம் வந்து
தேன்மழை ஆறாக பொங்கும் வசந்தமே
Ah... after the past time is gone
The times will change in your life
Clouds gather across the entire sky
Springtime overflows like a river of sweet rain
நீயும் இங்கே நானும் அங்கே
தீபம் எங்கே கோவில் இங்கே
ஏக்கமா இன்னுமா தேவையா.....
You are here... I am there
Where is the lamp?... The temple is here
Is longing still required?...
நான் உந்தன் தாயாக வேண்டும்
நீ எந்தன் சேய் ஆக வேண்டும்.....
I wish to become your mother
You should become my child...
ஆ.....சோகம் கொண்டு
சோர்ந்து நின்றால்
ஆயிரம் துன்பங்கள் உன்னை சேருமே
வாழ்க என்று ஆசை கொண்டால்
காவிய இன்பங்கள் என்றும் கோடியே
Ah... if you stand weary with sorrow
A thousand troubles will surround you
If you desire to live joyfully
Epic pleasures will always be in millions
காதல் உள்ளம்
கண்ணில் நிற்கும்
காதல் கொள்ளும் பாசம் சொல்லும்
நேசமே தாய்மையின் கீதமே.....
A loving heart... stands in the eyes
Deep love expresses affection
True love is the song of motherhood...
