சங்கீதம் மலர்கின்ற நேரம்
மங்காத கவி வரும் காலம்
சொன்னேன் வருவாய் நிலாவே
ஆனந்த வரிகளை பாடி ஆடி ரசிக்கின்ற பூவே
The time when music blossoms
The era when unyielding poetry arrives
I said, come like the moon
Oh flower that sings happy lines, dances, and delights
சங்கீதம் மலர்கின்ற நேரம்
மங்காத கவி வரும் காலம்
The time when music blossoms
The era when unyielding poetry arrives
என்ன எண்ணி என் ஆசை வாசலிலே
வந்து சிரித்து நின்றாய்
என் வாழ்வில் மௌனம் கொண்டாய்
Thinking of what, at the threshold of my desires
You came and stood smiling
You brought silence into my life
என்ன எண்ணி என் ஆசை வாசலிலே
வந்து சிரித்து நின்றாய்
என் வாழ்வில் மௌனம் கொண்டாய்
Thinking of what, at the threshold of my desires
You came and stood smiling
You brought silence into my life
உன்னை நான் அறிந்தாலும்
என்னை நீ அறிந்தில்லை
உன்னை நான் அறிந்தாலும்
என்னை நீ அறிந்தில்லை
Even though I know you
You do not know me
Even though I know you

ஹே...கலை நாயகா
இதயமது உறவாலே மதனமலர் தூவ
உனக்கு நான் கண்கள் திறந்து வைக்கின்றேன்
உனக்கு நான் கண்கள் திறந்து வைக்கின்றேன்
பாடி ஆடி ரசிக்கின்ற பூவே........
Hey, master of arts!
As the heart blossoms with passion's flowers due to relationship
I keep my eyes open for you
I keep my eyes open for you
Oh flower that sings, dances, and delights...

மங்காத கவி வரும் காலம்
The time when music blossoms

என் மனம் நின் அன்பாலே வாடுதைய்யா

Is my heart suffering because of your love, my lord?
Filled within the eyes
By the play of your enchanting grace
என் மனம் நின் அன்பாலே வாடுதைய்யா
கண்ணில் நிறைந்திருக்கும்
நின் மையல் விலாசங்ககளால்

என்னை நீ துறந்தாலும்
உன்னை நான் துறந்ததில்லை
என்னை நீ துறந்தாலும்
உன்னை நான் துறந்ததில்லை
Even if you abandon me
I have not abandoned you
Even if you abandon me
I have not abandoned you
ஹே....கலை நாயகா......
இதயச் சலனம் இங்கே மதனக் கலைகள் இங்கே
உனக்கு காட்டாது மறைத்து வைத்தேன் நான்
உனக்கு காட்டாது மறைத்து வைத்தேன் நான்

The song weaves imagery of music blooming and poetry arriving, mirroring the deep emotional and artistic beauty felt in the protagonist's heart.
