நல்ல சம்சாரம் வாய்த்ததற்கு
நன்றி சொல்வேனே நான் உனக்கு
உன்னை அடைந்தேன் துணையாக
முன்னம் புரிந்த தவமாக
விட்டுப் போகாதம்மா உறவு
இது தேயாத வெண்ணிலவு
அன்று போட்டேன் பூ மாலை
இன்று படித்தேன் பாமாலை
For being blessed with a good spouse
I express my gratitude to you
I attained you as my companion
As the fruit of penance performed in a past life
May this bond never leave us, my dear
This is a full moon that never wanes
That day I placed a floral garland
Today I recited a verse of poetry
நல்ல சம்சாரம் வாய்த்ததற்கு
நன்றி சொல்வேனே நான் உனக்கு
For being blessed with a good spouse
I express my gratitude to you
வான் பார்த்ததே நீ பார்த்திட
சிப்பி ஒன்று வண்ணச் சிப்பி ஒன்று
As you looked at what the sky looked upon
A shell, a colorful seashell
நீர் வார்த்ததும் உண்டானதே
முத்து ஒன்று சின்ன முத்து ஒன்று
Upon pouring water, there was created
A pearl, a tiny pearl
ஆறேழு மாதங்கள் போனால்
ஆராரோ பாட்டிங்கு கேட்கும்
Once six or seven months pass
A lullaby will be heard here
ஆவாரம் பூப் போன்ற கண்ணால்
அப்பாவை என் பிள்ளை பார்க்கும்
With eyes like the Aavaaram flower
My child will look at its father
நித்தம் நித்தம் தந்த அன்பு முத்தம்
The daily affectionate kisses given
பிள்ளைக்குத்தான் இனி ஆக மொத்தம்
Will now belong entirely to the child
ஒன்றிரண்டு வேண்டும் என்று
உன்னை நான் கேட்டேன்
Asking for one or two
I shall request of you
சம்சாரம் ஆனதற்கு
நன்றி சொல்வேனே தெய்வத்திற்கு
உன்னை அடைந்தேன் துணையாக
முன்னம் புரிந்த தவமாக
விட்டுப் போகாதய்யா உறவு
இது தேயாத வெண்ணிலவு
ம்ம்.....ம்ம்.....ம்ம்.....ம்ம்....ம்ம்....ம்ம்....
For becoming my family
I express my gratitude to God
I attained you as my companion
As the fruit of penance performed in a past life
May this bond never leave us, my beloved
This is a full moon that never wanes
Mm..mm..mm..mm..mm..mm..
பொன் மானையும் செம்மீனையும்
கண்ணில் கண்டேன்
உந்தன் கண்ணில் கண்டேன்
Golden deer and red fish
I saw in your eyes, I saw in your eyes
பாலாற்றையும் தேனாற்றையும்
உன்னில் கண்டேன்
கண்ணே உன்னில் கண்டேன்
A river of milk and a river of honey
I found in you, my dear, I found in you
உன்னோடு நான் வாழும் வீடு
ஆனந்தப் பூப் பூக்கும் காடு
The house where I live with you
Is a forest where flowers of joy bloom
அன்றில்கள் ஒன்றான கூடு
ஆகாது வேறேதும் ஈடு
A nest where lovebirds unite
Nothing else can match its equal
தாரம் வந்தாள்
கொஞ்சும் தென்றல் என்று
When the wife arrived
Like a caressing breeze
பிள்ளை வந்தான்
வண்ண முல்லை என்று
When the child arrived
Like a colorful jasmine bloom
பெண்ணரசி பொன்னரசி
உன்னைப் போல் ஏது
Queen among women, golden queen
Who can equal you
சம்சாரம் ஆனதற்கு
நன்றி சொல்வேனே தெய்வத்திற்கு
For becoming my family
I express my gratitude to God
உன்னை அடைந்தேன் துணையாக
முன்னம் புரிந்த தவமாக
I attained you as my companion
As the fruit of penance performed in a past life
