பார்வதி என்னைப் பாரடி...
பூங்கொடி வந்து சேரடி...
சின்னப் பூங்கிளி...
என்னைச் சேருமோ...
Parvathi, look at me...
Oh flowering vine, come join me...
சின்னப் பூங்கிளி
என்னைச் சேருமோ
மயக்கம் நெஞ்சோடுதான்
வண்ணப் பூங்கொடி
வந்து கூடுமோ
கலக்கம் கண்ணோடுதான்
Will the little parrot...
Join me...
சோலையோ நடுச்சாலையோ
தேடினேன் உனையே
காலையோ அந்தி மாலையோ
வாடினேன்
இதயம் இனியும் சரணம்
Will the little parrot
Join me?
There is infatuation in my heart
Will the colorful flowering vine come unite with me?
There is distress in my eyes
சின்னப் பூங்கிளி
என்னைச் சேருமோ
மயக்கம் நெஞ்சோடுதான்
வண்ணப் பூங்கொடி
வந்து கூடுமோ
கலக்கம் கண்ணோடுதான்
Be it a garden or in the middle of the street
I searched only for you
Be it morning or twilight, I withered
My heart surrenders from now on
வேடன் வந்து
சூழ்ந்த போதும்
உன் எல்லை தான்
வேடந்தாங்கல் என்று எண்ணும்
பூங்கிள்ளை நான்
Will the little parrot
Join me?
There is infatuation in my heart
Will the colorful flowering vine come unite with me?
There is distress in my eyes
முள்ளில் வேலி
போட்டால் என்ன
மாலைக் காற்று தாண்டாதா
கள்ளில் ஊறும் ஜாதிப் பூவை
கைகள் நீட்டித் தீண்டாதா
Even when the hunter
Surrounds me
Your presence alone
Is seen as the bird sanctuary Vedanthangal
By me, a little flowering bird
நீ அல்லால் உயிர் வேறெது
நீர் இன்றி பயிர் வாடுது
தேவியே எந்தன் ஆவியே கேளடி
இதயம் இனியும் சரணம்
So what if a fence of thorns is raised?
Won't the evening breeze cross over it?
A Jasmine flower blooming on stone,
Won't hands reach out to touch it?
சின்னப் பூங்கிளி
என்னைச் சேருமோ
மயக்கம் நெஞ்சோடுதான்
வண்ணப் பூங்கொடி
வந்து கூடுமோ
கலக்கம் கண்ணோடுதான்
Other than you, what life is there for me?
Without water, crops wither away
Oh Goddess, my soul, listen to me
My heart surrenders from now on
உன்னைச் சேர்ந்து
வாழத்தானே நான் வாழ்வது
உன்னை நீங்கி தேகம் இங்கே
ஏன் வாழ்வது
Will the little parrot
Join me?
There is infatuation in my heart
Will the colorful flowering vine come unite with me?
There is distress in my eyes
மண்ணில் வாழும்
ஏழைக்கெல்லாம்
பெண்ணின் மோகம் ஆகாதா
மண்ணால் செய்த பாண்டம் என்றால்
பொங்கும் சோறு வேகாதா
To unite with you
And live,
Is the reason I exist
Leaving you, why should this body
Live here?
தேவதாஸ் கதை பாரடி
ஓய்ந்ததா பதில் கூறடி
காதலி எந்தன் பார்வதி காதலன்
இதயம் இனியும் சரணம்
For a poor man living on this earth,
Is love for a woman forbidden?
If a vessel is made of clay,
Does the boiling rice not cook in it?
சின்னப் பூங்கிளி
என்னைச் சேருமோ
மயக்கம் நெஞ்சோடுதான்
வண்ணப் பூங்கொடி
வந்து கூடுமோ
கலக்கம் கண்ணோடுதான்
Look at the story of Devadas,
Is it finished? Tell me an answer!
Oh beloved, I am Parvathi's lover
My heart surrenders from now on
சோலையோ நடுச்சாலையோ
தேடினேன் உனையே
காலையோ அந்தி மாலையோ
வாடினேன்
இதயம் இனியும் சரணம்
Will the little parrot
Join me?
There is infatuation in my heart
Will the colorful flowering vine come unite with me?
There is distress in my eyes
சின்னப் பூங்கிளி
என்னைச் சேருமோ
மயக்கம் நெஞ்சோடுதான்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This emotional song depicts the anguished plea of a lover named Devadas to his beloved Parvathi. He expresses his deep longing, comparing himself to a helpless bird seeking sanctuary and a crop withering without water. He questions the societal barriers and social inequalities that keep them apart, asserting that poor men are equally deserving of love and affection.
