பூங்காவியம் பேசும் ஓவியம்

பாட்டுத்தான் தாலாட்டுதான்
கேட்க கூடும் என நாளும்
வாடினாள் போராடினாள்
வண்ண தோகை நெடுங்காலம்
Is it a song, or is it a lullaby?
That can be heard every day
She withered, she fought
Like a colorful peacock feather for a long time
தாய் முகம் தரிசனம்
தரும் நாளிது
சேய்மனம் உறவெனும்
கடல் நீந்துது
பாசம் மீறும் போது
பேசும் வார்த்தை ஏது
பாசம் மீறும் போது
பேசும் வார்த்தை ஏது
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஓ....
மயக்கத்தில் மனம் சேர்ந்தது
A vision of the mother's face
This is the day that grants it
The child's mind in the ocean called relationship
Has swum across
When affection overflows
What words are there to speak?
When affection overflows
What words are there to speak?
Hoo oo oo oo ..
In enchantment, minds joined

யார் மகள் இப்பூமகள்
ஏது இனி இந்த கேள்வி
கூட்டிலே தாய் வீட்டிலே
வாழும் இனி இந்த குருவி
Whose daughter is this flower-like girl?
Why ask this question anymore?
In the nest, in the maternal home
This little sparrow will live from now on
பாடலாம் தினம் தினம்
புது கீர்த்தனம்
நாளெலாம் தளிர்விடும்
இந்த பூவனம்
We can sing every day
A new classical melody
Every day it will sprout new leaves
This flower garden
வானம் பூமி வாழ்த்தும்
வாடை காற்றும் போற்றும்
வானம் பூமி வாழ்த்தும்
வாடை காற்றும் போற்றும்
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஓ....
புதுக்கதை அரங்கேறிடும்
The sky and the earth will bless
The northern breeze will praise

Hoo oo oo oo ..
