{ நீதானே எந்தன்
பொன்வசந்தம் புது ராஜ
வாழ்க்கை நாளை உன்
சொந்தம் } (2)
{You alone are my golden spring
A new royal life will be yours tomorrow} (2)
ஆஹா நீதானே எந்தன்
பொன்வசந்தம் புது ராஜ
வாழ்க்கை நாளை உன்
சொந்தம் என் வாசல் ஹே
வரவேற்கும் அந்நேரம்
உன் சொர்க்கம் ஹே
அரங்கேறும் கண்ணோரம்
Aahaa.. you alone are my golden spring
A new royal life will be yours tomorrow
My doorway will welcome you at that moment
Your heaven will unfold at the corner of your eyes
நீதானே எந்தன்
பொன்வசந்தம் புது ராஜ
வாழ்க்கை நாளை உன்
சொந்தம்
You alone are my golden spring
A new royal life will be yours tomorrow
பாதை முழுதும்
கோடி மலர்கள் பாடி
வருமே தேவக் குயில்கள்
உன் ஆடை ஹே மிதக்கின்ற
பாலாடை உன் காலை ஹே
குளிப்பாட்டும் நீரோடை
Along the entire path.. millions of flowers
Divine cuckoos will come singing..
Your dress is like floating cream of milk
A stream will bathe your feet
வெயில் நாளும்
சுடுமென தேகம் கெடுமென
ஜன்னல் திரையிடும் மேகம்
சிறு காதல் விழிகளில் வீசும்
மொழிகளில் பிறையும்
பௌர்ணமி ஆகும் சந்தோஷம்
உன்னோடு கைவீசும் எந்நாளும்
Fearing the hot sun might burn and harm your body
The clouds will draw window curtains
In small loving eyes and in spoken words
Even a crescent moon becomes a full moon
Happiness will wave to you forever..
நீதானே எந்தன்
பொன்வசந்தம் புது ராஜ
வாழ்க்கை நாளை உன்
சொந்தம் என் வாசல் ஹே
வரவேற்கும் அந்நேரம்
உன் சொர்க்கம் ஹே
அரங்கேறும் கண்ணோரம்
You alone are my golden spring
A new royal life will be yours tomorrow
My doorway will welcome you at that moment
Your heaven will unfold at the corner of your eyes
ஈர இரவில் நூறு
கனவு பேதை விழியில்
போதை நினைவு பன்னீரில்
ஹே இளந்தேகம் நீராடும்
பனிப்பூக்கள் ஹே
உனைக்கண்டு தேனூறும்
A hundred dreams in a damp night
Intoxicating thoughts in innocent eyes
Your young body bathes in rose water
Dewy flowers, seeing you, well up with honey
நீ ஆடை
அணிகலன் சூடும்
அறைகளில் ரோஜா
மல்லிகை வாசம்
முக வேர்வைத் துளியது
போகும் வரையிலும்
தென்றல் கவரிகள் வீசும்
நெஞ்சோரம் தள்ளாடும்
முத்தாரம் எந்நாளும்
As you wear garments and jewels
The rooms fill with fragrance of rose and jasmine
Until every drop of sweat on your face vanishes
The southern breeze will wave royal fans
The pearl necklace swaying near the heart forever...
நீதானே எந்தன்
பொன்வசந்தம் புது ராஜ
வாழ்க்கை நாளை உன்
சொந்தம் என் வாசல் ஹே
வரவேற்கும் அந்நேரம்
உன் சொர்க்கம் ஹே
அரங்கேறும் கண்ணோரம்
You alone are my golden spring
A new royal life will be yours tomorrow
My doorway will welcome you at that moment
Your heaven will unfold at the corner of your eyes
ம்ம்ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்ம்
ம்ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்ம் ஆஹா
