தானாய்
நீயாய் அவதரித்தாயே
தாயாய் என்னையே
வளர்த்து எடுத்தாயே
On your own, as yourself..
You incarnated..
As a mother, me..
You raised and nurtured..
சங்கொன்றின்
உள்ளிலே மெல்லோசை
கேட்குமே
என்னுள்ளிலே
உன் ஓசையே தாலாட்டுமே
Inside a conch shell..
A soft sound is heard..
Deep within me
Your sound acts as a lullaby..
விண்மீனை
போலவே நீயாக
தோன்றினாய்
கொண்டாடுதே
கொண்டாடுதே
பூலோகமே
Like a twinkling star..
You appeared by yourself
Celebrating..
The earth itself is celebrating
கருவறையை
வருடிவிடும் மயில் இறகே
மறுபடியும் பிறந்து விட்டேன்
இது வரமே
Caressing the womb
Oh peacock feather
I am born once again
This is a divine boon
சங்கொன்றின்
உள்ளிலே மெல்லோசை
கேட்குமே
என்னுள்ளிலே
உன் ஓசையே தாலாட்டுமே
Inside a conch shell..
A soft sound is heard..
Deep within me
Your sound acts as a lullaby..
விண்மீனை
போலவே நீயாக
தோன்றினாய்
கொண்டாடுதே

Celebrating..
The earth itself is celebrating
........................
இயற்கையின்
கரை உடைந்திட எழும்
அலை தான் நீ
புது புது
ஒலித்தடங்களில்
என்னை அழைத்ததும்
நீ
Breaking the boundaries of nature
You are the rising wave..
In brand new pathways of sound
You called out to me too..
தனியொரு
புது உலகினை
பரிசளித்ததும் நீ
ஆண் & பெண் :
திருமண
உறவுக்கு ஒரு வலி
வகுத்ததும் நீ
A distinct new world
You presented as a gift
For the bond of marriage
You paved a new way
கண்ணே என்னை
பொம்மை செய்தே தான்
அட வைத்தேனே வந்தே
என்னை வந்தே என்னை
ஏந்தி கொள்வாயா
My dear, making me
Like a doll
You kept me gently..
Come to me, come to me
And lift me in your arms
ஆண் & பெண் :
நம் காதலின்
சாயல் அதை நாம் அட
கொண்டோமே அன்னை
என்றே தந்தை என்றே
எம்மை செய்தாயே
Inside a conch shell..
A soft sound is heard..
Deep within me
Your sound acts as a lullaby..
ஆண் & பெண் :
உன்னைத்
தொடவே இரு உயிர்கள்
துடிக்கிறதே உனதுருவம்
அதை ரசிக்க தவிக்கிறதே
Like a twinkling star..
You appeared by yourself
Celebrating..
The earth itself is celebrating
சங்கொன்றின்
உள்ளிலே மெல்லோசை
கேட்குமே என்னுள்ளிலே
உன் ஓசையே தாலாட்டுமே
விண்மீனை
போலவே நீயாக
தோன்றினாய்
கொண்டாடுதே
கொண்டாடுதே
பூலோகமே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This soulful song captures the awe, tender joy, and divine miracle of parenthood and birth. The lyrics describe a child who enters the world as if on their own accord, bringing about a spiritual rebirth for the mother. The child's soft presence is poetically likened to a gentle melody echoing inside a sea conch and a peacock feather softly caressing the womb. The parents feel elevated and transformed by this arrival, viewing it as a precious blessing that redefines their marriage, love, and world entirely.
