பாட்டுக்குள்ளே பாட்டிருக்கு
படிச்சுக்கத்தான் மனசிருக்கு
இந்த வயசு இப்ப புதுசு அடி வாடி பூங்கொடி
இந்த மாமன் படிக்கும் பாடல் இனிக்கும்
சேர்ந்து பாடடி
இந்த மாமன் படிக்கும் பாடல் இனிக்கும்
சேர்ந்து பாடடி
There is a song within the song,
And there is a heart eager to learn it.
This age is fresh and new now, come on, my slender vine!
The song that this maternal uncle sings will be sweet,
Sing along with me!
The song that this maternal uncle sings will be sweet,
Sing along with me!
பாட்டுக்குள்ளே பாட்டிருக்கு
படிச்சுக்கத்தான் மனசிருக்கு
There is a song within the song,
And there is a heart eager to learn it.
இந்த உடலுக்குள் வந்த உயிருக்குள்
வந்து புகுந்தவளே
அந்தி வெயிலுக்குள் அன்பு மலருக்குள்
என்றும் இனிப்பவளே
Into this soul within this body,
Oh girl who entered inside!
Within the evening sunlight and affectionate flower,
Oh girl who is forever sweet!
தட்டுத் தடைகளை வெட்டிக் களையணும்
தொட்டுத் தொடர்ந்து வர
தங்க மகளுக்கு தஞ்சம் கொடுத்திடும்
சிங்கம் அருகில் வர
One must clear away all obstacles,
To touch and continuously follow.
Providing refuge to the golden girl,
As the lion comes near.
சின்னஞ்சிறு நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே
என்ன என்ன சேதிகளோ
Inside the tiny little heart,
What news could there be?
சின்னப் பொண்ணு கண்ணுக்குள்ளே
மின்னுவது ஆசைகளோ
Inside the young girl's eyes,
Are those desires that shine?
சொல்லும் சொல்லில் தேன் இருக்கு
சொர்க்கம் பக்கம்தான் இருக்கு
கையும் கையும் சேர்ந்திருக்கு
Honey exists in every word spoken,
Heaven is right nearby.
Hand and hand are joined together,
பாட்டுக்குள்ளே பாட்டிருக்கு
படிச்சுக்கத்தான் மனசிருக்கு
There is a song within the song,
And there is a heart eager to learn it.
சிட்டுக் குருவியின் வட்டக் கருவிழி
கொட்டம் அடிக்கட்டுமே
கொட்டும் இசை அதில் கொஞ்சும் இளசுகள்
கட்டிப் புரளட்டுமே
Let the round dark eyes of the sparrow
Play and make mischief!
In the pouring music, let the affectionate youth
Hug and roll around!
பட்டுத் துணி என கொத்துக் கனி என
கன்னம் இருக்கட்டுமே
கொட்டிக் கொடுத்திட ஒட்டிக் களித்திட
உள்ளம் நெருங்கட்டுமே
Like silk cloth and a cluster of fruits,
Let the cheeks be tender!
To shower affection and embrace with joy,
Let the hearts come closer!
பந்தி ஒன்னு போட்டிருக்கு
பந்தம் உள்ள மாமனுக்கு
A feast has been laid out,
For the uncle with bonding ties.
சிந்து கவி வந்திருக்கு
சொந்தம் உள்ள பூங்கொடிக்கு
A Sindhu poem has arrived,
With a loving heart for the floral vine.
ஒண்ணா ரெண்டா வார்த்தை இங்கு
ஓயாதையா வாழ்க்கை இங்கு
மாறாதையா ஆசை இன்று
Are words just one or two here?
Life here never ceases,
Desires today will never change.
