நான் வாசம் தரும் பூங்காற்றே
நான் பாடுவது உன் பாட்டே
நீ வாராதபோது சுகம் தான் இங்கு ஏது
பூ மீது ஒரு பூந்தேகம்
போராடுவது என் வேகம்
கண்ணான கண்ணே
உன்னை கை சேர வேண்டும்
I am the fragrant breeze,
The song I sing is your song.
When you are not here, what pleasure exists here?
A delicate flower-like body upon a flower,
Male: Fighting on is my passion,
Oh my precious eyes,
I want to hold your hands,
நாள் பார்க்க வேண்டும்
என்னை நீ சேர்க்க வேண்டும்
உன் தோளில் என்னை மலர் போல் சூட வேண்டும்
நீ என் ஜீவனே உன் மோகம் போதும்
சங்கீதம் கேளு நீ கைத்தாளம் போடு
நீ அப்போதுதான் என்னோட ஆளு....
We must pick an auspicious day,
You must unite with me,
You do not need to adorn me like a flower on your shoulder,
You are my life, your love is enough.
Listen to the music and clap your hands,
Only then will you rule with me.
நான் பாடும் ஒரு தாலாட்டு
என் அன்னை அதை நீ கேட்டு
கண் மூட வேண்டும்
தினம் நான் பாட வேண்டும்
உன் அன்பு என்னும் பூஞ்சோலை
என் தங்கை இவள் பொன்மாலை
நான் இங்கு வாழும் சுகம்தான் ஒன்று போதும்
A lullaby that I sing,
My mother, listening to it,
Should close her eyes peacefully,
I want to sing every day.
The flower garden that is your love,
My sister is like this golden evening,
Just this one joy of living here is enough.
மாறாத நேசம் என் தாய் தந்த பாசம்
நான் காண வேண்டும்
வரம்தான் என்றும் வேண்டும்
இது என் நெஞ்சிலே தீராத தாகம்
ஹேய் ஹேய் ஹேய்
The unchanging affection, like the love a mother gives,
I want to behold,
I want this boon forever.
This is an unquenchable thirst in my heart.
சங்கீதம் கேளு நீ கைத்தாளம் போடு
நீ அப்போதுதான் என்னோட ஆளு
Listen to the music and clap your hands,
Only then will you rule with me.
