ஒரு மனைவியை திருமகள் என
அடி எடுத்து வைத்த அன்பே
நல்ல துணைவியாய் திருமாங்கல்யம்
அணிந்து வந்த அமுதே
As a wife, like Goddess Lakshmi,
My beloved who stepped into my life.
As a good companion, wearing the sacred mangalsutra,
Oh sweet nectar who arrived wearing it!
அந்த திருநாளை நெஞ்சம் மறக்குமா
இன்று நினைத்தாலும் உள்ளம் இனிக்குதே
வாழ்நாளிலே அது போல் கிடைக்குமா
Can my heart ever forget that auspicious day?
Even thinking of it today makes my heart feel sweet.
Can anything like that ever be found in a lifetime?
ஒரு மனைவியை திருமகள் என
அடி எடுத்து வைத்த அன்பே

நல்லதொரு நூலாய்
உன்னை எடுத்து வாசித்து பார்த்தேன்
மீண்டும் மீண்டும் படிக்க
அலுக்கவில்லை பூசித்து புகழ்வேன்
உன்னுடன் இருக்கும் ஓவ்வொரு நொடியும்
சுகங்களிலே மிதப்பேன்
சரித்திரந்தனில் குறித்து வைத்திடும்
பொற்காலத்திலே கிடப்பேன்
வாழ்கின்ற நாளும் பொன் நாள் என்றாகும்
அன்பே நீ அருகில் இருந்தால்
Like a fine, beautiful book,
I took you and read you.
Reading you over and over again,
I never grow weary; I will cherish and adore you.
Every single moment spent with you,
I float in complete bliss.
Noted in the pages of history,
I lie comfortably in a golden era.
Every day I live turns into a golden day,
My love, as long as you are by my side.

As a good companion, wearing the sacred mangalsutra,
Oh sweet nectar who arrived wearing it!
காலம் எனும் அற்புதம்
கருணைக்கரம் கொண்டு நம்மை சேர்த்ததே
அன்பு என்னும் கயிற்றில்
மணி சாத்தில் மாலை என கோர்த்ததே
The miracle called Time,
United us with its compassionate hand.
In the thread called Love,
It strung us together like a garland of precious gems.
உன்னை அன்று நானே உள்ளத்தில் சுமந்தேனே
அதற்கிணை எது என்பேன்
உனது உயிரை எனது உடலில் சுமப்பேன்
தெய்வத்திற்கு நன்றி சொல்வேன்
வாழ்கின்ற நாளும் பொன் நாள் என்றாகும்
அன்பே நீ அருகில் இருந்தால்
On that day, I held you dearly in my heart,
What can ever compare to that bliss?
I will carry your life in my body,
And express my gratitude to the Almighty.
Every day I live turns into a golden day,
My love, as long as you are by my side.
