கை பையில் சந்தோசம்
காத்தோட பூ வீசும்
வண்ணத்து தாளுக்குள் அன்பாகுறோம்
Happiness is right here in our hands,
Flowers blow fragrance along with the breeze,
We become bound in love by colorful paper notes,
பூமிக்கு வேணும்முன்னு
விண் தாவும் மீன் ஒன்னு
வந்தாளே இந்நாளே கொண்டாடுறோம்
Saying that the earth was in need of it,
A shooting star leaping down from the sky,
Has arrived, and so we celebrate this day!
எந்த சோகங்கள் வந்தாலும்
நான் உன்னை சுத்தி
இருப்பேன் தடுப்பேன் நீ பூத்திட
எந்த சாமிக்கு முன்னாலும்
நான் கேட்பதெல்லாம்
சிரிச்சு செழிச்சி நீ வாழ்ந்திட
No matter what sorrows come your way,
I will surround you,
I will stand guard and block them so you can bloom.
In front of any deity,
All that I pray for,
Is for you to live smilingly and prosperously.
தாலாட்டு நாள் உந்தன்
தாலாட்டு நாள் இங்கு
தாலாட்டு நாள் உன்னை
பாராட்டும் நாள் அந்த
மேகங்கள் தேன் சொட்ட
காற்றெல்லாம் கை தட்ட
பூமிக்கு நீ வந்த
தாலாட்டு நாள் கூறுவேன்
It is your lullaby day,
The lullaby day is right here,
The lullaby day that comes to,
Celebrate you; on that day,
While the clouds drip honey,
And the winds clap their hands,
I shall declare the day you came to earth,
As your special lullaby day.
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :
நாம் வாழ்க்கையே மண் சேரவே
நாம் பெற்ற கடன்தானே
அதை தீர்க்கவே எல்லோரிடம்
சிரிப்பூட்டி நகர்ந்தோம்
வாழ்வில் நீ இன்று காண்பிக்கும் பாசங்கள்
வேறேல்லாமே வேண்டாத வேஷங்கள்
It is your lullaby day,
The lullaby day is right here,
The lullaby day that comes to,
Celebrate you; on that day,
While the clouds drip honey,
And the winds clap their hands,
I shall declare the day you came to earth,
As your special lullaby day.
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :
விழாவோ கனாவோ
விழாத வினாவோ
உன் கைகள் மேலே நின்று
தோள் சாய்க்கும் நேசங்கள்
தாலாட்டு நாள் உந்தன்
தாலாட்டு நாள் இங்கு
தாலாட்டு நாள் உன்னை
பாராட்டும் நாள் அந்த
மேகங்கள் தேன் சொட்ட
காற்றெல்லாம் கை தட்ட
பூமிக்கு நீ வந்த
தாலாட்டு நாள் கூறுவேன்
