புத்தம் புது காத்துதான்
என்னை வா வான்னு
அழைக்கிறதே
The brand new breeze
Calls out to me, saying come, come
The paddy swaying together
Smiles saying, ah yes!
ஒத்து ஊதும் நெல்லுதான்
அட ஆமான்னு
சிரிகிறதே
With the tender coconut water
My whole mouth is wet and refreshed
Taking step after step
It becomes a town where temple chariots run.. hae ae hae
தென்னை இளம் நீரால்
என் வாய் எல்லாம் ஈரம்
எட்டு வச்சு எட்டு வச்சு
தேரோடும் ஊராகும்
ஹெய் ஹெய் ஹெய்
In the chariot where the deity arrives
Sandal paste on the chest.. hey
While applying it
Chorus: Here, nobody with anybody
Ever has any enmity
சாமி வரும் தேரிலே
சந்தனங்கள் மார்பிலே
ஹெய் சாற்றுகிற போதிலே
குழு :
இங்கு யாருக்கும்
யாரோடும் எப்போதும்
பகை இல்லையே
In the flowing canal
The pebbles soaking in water
The shining beauty
While looking at it
I too turned into a fish
புத்தம் புது காத்துதான்
என்னை வா வான்னு
அழைக்கிறதே
Oh... in very young childhood
In the new river filled with fresh floods
Leaping, jumping, and swimming
The story of life lived never changes
ஒத்து ஊதும் நெல்லுதான்
அட ஆமான்னு
சிரிகிறதே....
Unheard, new music
The mynas gather and give
For this full length concert
Is there no audience hall?
ஓடுகிற வாய்காலில்
ஊறுகிற கூழாங்கல்
மின்னும் அழகை
பார்க்கும் பொழுதில்
நானும் ஒரு மீனானேன்
Sweat on the forehead
When it falls on the soil
Food grains sprout forth
Unstudied lessons all
I witnessed
ஒஹ்ஹ்..
சின்னன்சிறு பருவதில்
வெள்ளம் வரும் புது ஆற்றில்
தாவி குதித்து நீச்சலடித்து
வாழ்ந்த கதை மாறதே
With the aerial roots of the banyan tree
Tie a swing and play
Childhood age
To regain once more
Is this not the shortcut?
கேட்டு அறியா
புதிய இசையை
அள்ளி தரும் மைனாக்கள்
முழு நீள கச்சேரிக்கு
சபை இல்லையா
In the land where I grew up
Affection was just an outward facade
Seeing these innocent, artless people
I lost my heart to them
நெற்றி வியர்வை
நிலத்தில் விழுந்தால்
தானியங்கள் முளைக்கிறதே
படிக்காத பாடம் எல்லாம்
கண்டேனே
Be it a good event or a bad event
Relatives gather together
Even if one falls, supporting them
Remaining as a pillar of support
புத்தம் புது காத்துதான்
என்னை வா வான்னு
அழைக்கிறதே
I too am one among them in this place
Just a thought like that
I felt arising inside my heart
ஒத்து ஊதும் நெல்லுதான்
அட ஆமான்னு
சிரிகிறதே....
With the tender coconut water
My whole mouth is wet and refreshed
Taking step after step
It becomes a town where temple chariots run.. hae ae hae
ஆலமர விழுதோடு
ஊஞ்சல் கட்டி விளையாடு
குழந்தை பருவம்
திரும்ப பெறவும்
குறுக்கு வழி இதுதானே
நான் வளந்த தேசத்தில்
நேசம் வெளி வேஷதில்
கள்ளம் இல்லா மக்கள் கண்டு
மனதை பறி கொடுதேனே
நல்ல நிகழ்வோ
கெட்ட நிகழ்வோ
கூடி விடும் சொந்தங்கள்
விழுந்தாலும் தாங்கி கொள்ளும்
தூணாகவே
இந்த இடத்தில்
நானும் ஒருவன்
என்ற ஒரு எண்ணம்தான்
என் நெஞ்சின் உள்ளே தோன்றக்
கண்டேனே
புத்தம் புது காத்துதான்
என்னை வா வான்னு
அழைக்கிறதே
ஒத்து ஊதும் நெல்லுதான்
அட ஆமான்னு
சிரிகிறதே
தென்னை இளம் நீரால்
என் வாய் எல்லாம் ஈரம்
எட்டு வச்சு எட்டு வச்சு
தேரோடும் ஊராகும்
ஹெய் ஹெய் ஹெய்
சாமி வரும் தேரிலே
சந்தனங்கள் மார்பிலே
ஹெய் சாற்றுகிற போதிலே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from 'Kannamoochi Yenada' celebrates the pristine charm, simplicity, and warmth of village life. The protagonist immerses himself in the idyllic countryside, marveling at the welcoming breeze, swaying paddy fields, sweet coconut water, shimmering stream pebbles, and birds singing like a grand orchestra.

Metaphor
“Naanum oru meenaanen”
The protagonist poetically compares himself to a fish while observing the clear, flowing canal water.
Moni (Initial Alliteration)
“Netri viyarvai / Nilaththil vizhunthaal”
