புது வண்ணங்கள்
கொஞ்சிடும் சோலை பல
எண்ணங்கள் துள்ளிடும்
வேளை எங்கும் மின்னுது
செவ்வந்தி மாலை இளந்தென்றலில்
ஆடுது சேலை
A garden where new colors caress
A time when many thoughts leap joyfully
Everywhere a garland of chrysanthemums gleams
In the gentle breeze, the saree sways
செந்தாழம் பூவாசம்
என் நெஞ்சத்தை அள்ள
பூங்குயில் பாடுது பாட்டு
வண்ண மாமயில் ஆடுது
கேட்டு
The fragrance of the red screwpine flower
Gathers my heart away
The cuckoo sings a sweet song
The colorful peacock dances upon hearing it
புது வண்ணங்கள்
கொஞ்சிடும் சோலை பல
எண்ணங்கள் துள்ளிடும்
வேளை
A garden where new colors caress
A time when many thoughts leap joyfully
மண்ணிலே வளர்ந்த
கொடி படர்ந்தது மரத்திலடி
பொன்னிலே நனைந்தது போல்
மலர்ந்தது வசந்தமடி
The creeper that grew on the earth
Spread beneath the shade of the tree
As if soaked in pure gold
Spring has blossomed, my friend
பிஞ்சுகள் காய்த்து
கனிந்தாட மொட்டுகள் பூத்து
விரிந்தாட கள்ளில் மயங்கும்
வண்டுபோல் சுவை கண்டு
மயங்குது கண்விழி
Young tender fruits ripen and sway
Buds bloom and expand wide
Like a bee intoxicated by nectar
The eyes swoon upon tasting sweetness
உல்லாசம்
பண்பாடி உற்சாகம்
கொண்டாட உள்ளத்தில்
பொங்குது ஆசை
Singing tune of joyous bliss
To celebrate with great enthusiasm
Desire overflows within the heart
புது வண்ணங்கள்
கொஞ்சிடும் சோலை பல
எண்ணங்கள் துள்ளிடும்
வேளை எங்கும் மின்னுது
செவ்வந்தி மாலை இளந்தென்றலில்

A time when many thoughts leap joyfully
Everywhere a garland of chrysanthemums gleams
In the gentle breeze, the saree sways

...
அன்பிலே இணைந்த
சிட்டு மறைந்தது கூட்டிலடி
ரெண்டிலே ஒன்றை கண்டு
பிறந்தது நாணமடி
The sparrows united in love
Hid inside their little nest
Seeing one merged out of two
Shyness was born, my friend
இன்று நான்
மலர்ந்த பெண்ணானேன்
என்னவோ மயக்கம்
கொண்டேனே நெஞ்சில்
நினைத்ததை சொல்லவோ
அத சொல்ல தயங்குது
பெண்மையே
Today I have become a fully blossomed woman
I feel a strange, mesmerizing intoxication
Shall I speak what is on my heart?
My womanhood hesitates to say it
ஒன்றோடு ஒன்றாக
எந்நாளும் கொண்டாட
உள்ளத்தில் வந்தது ஆசை
To be one together as one
To celebrate for all days
Desire has arrived in my heart
புது வண்ணங்கள்
கொஞ்சிடும் சோலை பல
எண்ணங்கள் துள்ளிடும்
வேளை எங்கும் மின்னுது
செவ்வந்தி மாலை இளந்தென்றலில்
ஆடுது சேலை
A garden where new colors caress
A time when many thoughts leap joyfully
Everywhere a garland of chrysanthemums gleams
In the gentle breeze, the saree sways
