பாரடி குயிலே
பாச மலர்களை
பாடடி குயிலே பாத மலர்களை
காலம் முழுவதும்
காலடி நிழலில்
வாழும் குழந்தையே
அவர்கள் மடியிலே
Look, cuckoo bird, at these flowers of affection!
Sing, cuckoo bird, to these floral feet!
For a lifetime, under the shadow of their feet,
As a child living safe within their lap.

பாச மலர்களை
பாடடி குயிலே பாத மலர்களை
Look, cuckoo bird, at these flowers of affection!
Sing, cuckoo bird, to these floral feet!
தாய் மடியில் சில நாள்
தவழ்ந்து கிடந்த பறவை
வான் வெளியில் பறந்து
திரும்ப வருதல் இயற்கை
A bird that spent a few days crawling in its mother's lap,
Having crawled and rested there,
Flew across the vast sky,
And it is only natural for it to return!
யார் பிரிக்க முடியும்
இறைவன் வகுத்த உறவை
ஏழ் பிறப்பும் தொடரும்
உறவில் வரைந்த கவிதை
Who can ever separate
The bond created by the Almighty?
A bond that continues across seven births,
A poetic verse written in family relationships!
நான் விரும்பிய
திருநாள் பிறந்தது
என் வரவினில் கதவும் திறந்தது
காலம் முழுவதும்
காலடி நிழலில்
வாழும் குழந்தையே
அவர்கள் மடியிலே
The holy day that I longed for
Has finally dawned,
And upon my arrival,
The doorway has opened wide!
For a lifetime, under the shadow of their feet,
As a child living safe within their lap.
பாரடி குயிலே
பாச மலர்களை
பாடடி குயிலே பாத மலர்களை
காலம் முழுவதும்

Look, cuckoo bird, at these flowers of affection!
Sing, cuckoo bird, to these floral feet!
For a lifetime, under the shadow of their feet,
As a child living safe within their lap.
பாரடி குயிலே
பாச மலர்களை
பாடடி குயிலே பாத மலர்களை
Look, cuckoo bird, at these flowers of affection!
Sing, cuckoo bird, to these floral feet!
ஆழ்கடலில் நெடுநாள்
அலைந்து திரிந்த படகு
ஓர் கரையில் ஒதுங்க
தவித்துக் கிடந்த பொழுது
A boat that wandered for long in the deep ocean,
Drifting endlessly amidst the waves,
While it suffered in longing to reach a shore,
At that precise moment,
நான் வணங்கும் இறைவன்
தந்தை வடிவம் எடுத்தான்
தான் சுமந்த மகளாய்
தழுவித் தழுவி அணைத்தான்
The God whom I worship
Took the form of a father!
And embraced me repeatedly as his own beloved daughter,
Holding me close with deep love!
நான் விரும்பிய
வரம்தான் கிடைத்தது
நீர் அரும்பிய முகம்தான் சிரித்தது
காலம் முழுவதும்
காலடி நிழலில்
வாழும் குழந்தையே
அவர்கள் மடியிலே
The ultimate boon I desired
Has been granted to me,
And the face where tear droplets budded
Has finally broken into a smile!
For a lifetime, under the shadow of their feet,
As a child living safe within their lap.
பாரடி குயிலே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Paaradi Kuyilae' expresses the deep emotional reunion and unconditional affection between a parent and child. It uses nature imagery like a bird returning to its mother's lap and a boat finally reaching a shore after wandering in the deep sea to metaphorically depict finding shelter, peace, and family warmth after a long period of separation and suffering. The lyricist emphasizes that divine family bonds endure across lifetimes and cannot be severed by time or distance.
