தவழ்ந்திடும் தங்க
பூவே ( தங்க பூவே ) தலை
அசைக்கும் வெண்ணிலாவே
( வெண்ணிலாவே ) மந்திர
புன்னகைகள் உன்னில்
தாராளம்
O crawling golden flower
(O golden flower)
O nod-headed white moon
(O white moon)
Magical smiles
Are abundant in you
கருவறை வாசல்
தாண்டி ( தாண்டி ) கைகளிலே
வந்து சேர்ந்தாய் ( சேர்ந்தாய் )
கதைகள் உன்னிடத்தில்
சொல்ல ஏராளம்
Crossing the gateway of the womb
(Crossing)
You came and reached my hands
(Reached)
There are endless stories
To tell you
மடியினில் என்னை
சாய்ப்பேனே மார்பினில்
உன்னை சுமப்பேனே உனதிரு
விழிகளிலே (உனதிரு விழிகளிலே)
எந்தன் கனவுகள் எனதுயிர் நீயின்றி
இல்லை விடியல்கள்
I will lean you on my lap
I will carry you on my chest
In your two eyes
(In your two eyes)
My dreams reside
My life, without you
Has no dawns
தவழ்ந்திடும் தங்க
பூவே ( தங்க பூவே ) தலை

புன்னகைகள் உன்னில்
தாராளம்
O crawling golden flower
(O golden flower)
O nod-headed white moon
(O white moon)
Magical smiles
Are abundant in you
சில நேரம் கோவம்
கொள்வாய் சிரித்தே பின்
மாயம் செய்வாய் சிறு சிறு
குறும்புகளாலே என்னை நீ
வெல்வாயே
At times you get angry
Then you smile and do magic
Through small playful antics
You win me over
அழகாய் எந்தன்
தோளில் தூலிதான்
நெய்வாயே இமை சொல்லும்
மொழியாவும் இனிமை கேட்பேன்
இவள் கரம் பிடித்தே தான் உலகை
ரசிப்பேன்
Beautifully on my shoulders
You weave a cradle
Every language your eyelashes speak
I will listen to with sweetness
Only holding her hand
Will I admire the world
யாழ் இசைக்கும்
உன் பேச்சு தாலாட்டு
எனக்கு யாழினியே உன்
மடியே அன்னை மடி எனக்கு
Your speech, like the music of the harp
Is a lullaby to me
O Yazhini, your lap
Is a mother's lap to me
தவழ்ந்திடும் தங்க
பூவே ( தங்க பூவே ) தலை
அசைக்கும் வெண்ணிலாவே
( வெண்ணிலாவே ) மந்திர
புன்னகைகள் உன்னில்

You came and reached my hands
(Reached)
There are endless stories
To tell you
அநியாய சேட்டை
செய்வாய் அயர்ந்தே பின்
தூக்கம் கொள்வாய் வரம்
தரும் தேவதை நீயே
வரமாய் வந்தாயே
You do unreasonable mischief
Then grow weary and fall asleep
You are the boon-granting goddess
Who came as a boon
நிரமற்ற தூரிகை
நானே வா்ணங்கள் தந்தாயே
எந்தன் மரணத்தின் நேரம்
நெருங்கும்போதும் உந்தன்
மலர் முகம் கண்டால் ஜனனம்
மீண்டும்
I am a colorless paint brush
You gave me colors
Even when the time of my death
Approaches close
If I see your flower-like face
I will be reborn
விழிகளில் ஈரங்கள்
நீராட்டிப் போகும் இவளன்றி
என் நாட்கள் தனிமையில்
சாகும்
The moisture in the eyes
Will wash away
Without her, my days
Will die in loneliness
தவழ்ந்திடும் தங்க
பூவே ( தங்க பூவே ) தலை
அசைக்கும் வெண்ணிலாவே
