பூந்தென்றலை
தேடிச் சென்று
வான் பொன் ஒளி வீசச் சொல்லி
The gentle flower-like breeze,
Search for it and go,
Tell the sky to shed its golden light.
பூந்தென்றலை
தேடிச் சென்று
யார் கண்டது சொல்லு
வான் பொன் ஒளி வீசச் சொல்லி
யார் சொன்னது சொல்லு
The gentle flower breeze,
Search for it and go,
Tell me, who has found it?
Who asked the sky
To shed its golden light? Tell me.
கட்டுப்பாடு இல்லாத
வண்ண பூச்சி எங்கே
தட்டுப்பாடு இல்லாமல்
எல்லாம் உண்டு இங்கே
விட்டுப் போக என்னோடு
எந்தன் உள்ளம் இல்ல
சில்லென வீசிடும் வெண்பனி காற்றில்
உள்ளம் சிலிர்த்திடுதே
Without any restrictions,
Where is the butterfly?
Without any shortage,
Everything is present here.
To leave you and go,
My heart is not willing.
In the chilly blowing white-snow wind,
My heart feels a thrill of goosebumps!

சிலு சிலுக்குற காத்தோடு
ஸ்ருதி படித்திட போவோமா
இசை எதுவென தேடிப் போவோமா
வா வா வா
With the pleasant rustling wind,
Shall we go tune our melody?
Shall we go searching to see if this is music?
Come, come, come!
சல சலக்குற ஆத்தோடு
ஜதி படித்திட போவோமா
அலை நுரைகளின் ஓசை கேட்போமா
வா வா வா
With the gushing, trickling river,
Shall we go learn the rhythm steps?
Shall we listen to the sound of wave foams?
Come, come, come!
விண்மீனே விண்மீனே
என் வீட்டோடு ஓடிவாயேன்
செல்லாதே செல்லாதே
நீ என்னோடு வசித்திடு தினமே
Oh star, oh star,
Come running to my home!
Don't go away, don't go away,
Live with me every single day.

மழை ரசித்திட வேண்டாமா
முதல் துளியெது தேடிப் பார்ப்போமா
வா வா வா
In the shimmering cloud,
Shouldn't we enjoy the rain?
Shall we search for the very first drop?
Come, come, come!
சிறு குருவிகள் ஜோராக
இருப்பிடத்தினை தோதாக
வடிவமைத்திடும் செய்தி கேட்போமா
வா வா வா
As small birds pair up nicely,
As messengers to their nesting place,
Shall we hear the news of their creation?
Come, come, come!
உன்னோடு உன்னோடு
உன் வீட்டோடு கூட்டிப் போயேன்
என்னோடு என்னோடு
ஒரு கவி பாடி களித்திடு தினமே
With you, with you,
Take me along to your home!
With me, with me,
Sing a poem and rejoice every day.
