சங்கீத வானில் சந்தோஷம் பாடும்
சிங்காரத் தேன் குயிலே
இந்த ஏகாந்த வேளையில் மௌனங்கள் தேடும்
என் காதல் பூ மயிலே
தோள் மீது வா உன்னைத் தாலாட்டுவேன்
காதல் சொன்னால் உன்னை சீராட்டுவேன்
என் நெஞ்சம் எங்கெங்கும் உன் மஞ்சம் தானே
In the sky of music, singing happiness
Oh beautiful honey cuckoo!
In this lonely expanse seeking silence
Oh my beloved flower peacock!
Come upon my shoulder, I will sing you a lullaby
If love is spoken, I will cherish and pamper you
My heart everywhere is your bed alone
சங்கீத வானில் சந்தோஷம் பாடும்
சிங்காரத் தேன் குயிலே
இந்த ஏகாந்த வேளையில் மௌனங்கள் தேடும்
என் காதல் பூ மயிலே
In the sky of music, singing happiness
Oh beautiful honey cuckoo!
In this lonely expanse seeking silence
Oh my beloved flower peacock!
ஹா....ஆ.....ஹா......அஆ......ஆ.
ஆனந்த ராகங்களில்...
நான் ஆலாபனை செய்கிறேன்
ஆஅ......ஆஆ.....ஹாஆ.....ஆஆ...
நான் உந்தன் கீதம் தன்னை
ஆராதனை செய்கிறேன்
Haa....aaaa...haaa...aaa...aaa....
In melodies of bliss
I perform an aalaapana
Male: Aaaa....aaaa.....haaa...aaa....aaaa...
Your song itself
I worship devoutly
கன்னங்களில் ஒரு வான் வண்ணமே
கண்டேன் இங்கே மலர் தேன் கிண்ணமே
கண்ணா உந்தன் குழல் நாதங்களால்
என் நாவிலும் இன்று குளிர்கின்றதே
ஒன்றோடு ஒன்றாகி உண்மைகள் கண்டுவர
Upon your cheeks, a sky of vibrant colors
I saw here a flower cup filled with honey
Female: Oh Kannaa, through the notes of your flute
My tongue feels a soothing cool breeze today
Male: Merging as one to discover the underlying truths
சங்கீத வானில் சந்தோஷம் பாடும்
சிங்காரத் தேன் குயிலே
இந்த ஏகாந்த வேளையில் மௌனங்கள் தேடும்
என் காதல் பூ மயிலே
In the sky of music, singing happiness
Oh beautiful honey cuckoo!
In this lonely expanse seeking silence
Oh my beloved flower peacock!
ஹா.....ஆஅ....ஹா.....ஆஅ....ஆஅ....ஆ....
பொன்மாலை வேளைகளில்...
உன் வாசல் நான் தேடினேன்
ஹா.....ஆஅ....ஹா.....ஆஅ....ஆஅ....ஆ....
கண்ணென்னும் ஓடங்களில்
கரை தேடி நான் ஓடினேன்
Haaa...aaa...haaa...aaa...aaa..aaa...
During the golden evening hours
I searched for your doorstep
Female: Haaa...aaa...haaa...aaa...aaa..aaa...
In the boats that are your eyes
I ran seeking the shore
கன்னல் எனும் இதழ் சுவை ஊட்டுதே
காணும் முகம் இன்று எனை வாட்டுதே
கண் மைகளில் சுகம் வளர்கின்றதே
உன்னில் தினம் உடல் கரைகின்றதே
இன்றோடு தீராத பந்தங்கள் கொண்டு வர
Lips like sweet sugarcane feed me delicious taste
The face I behold torments me affectionately today
Female: In the kohl of eyes, pleasure blossoms
In you, every day my body dissolves
Male: To forge everlasting bonds that never end today
சங்கீத வானில் சந்தோஷம் பாடும்
சிங்காரத் தேன் குயிலே

Expressing love, I will pamper you
My heart forever is your bed alone
தோள் மீது தான் உன்னை தாலாட்டுவேன்
காதல் சொல்லி உன்னை சீராட்டுவேன்
என் நெஞ்சம் என்றென்றும் உன் மஞ்சம் தானே
In the sky of music, singing happiness
Oh beautiful honey cuckoo!
