உல்லாசப் பூங்காற்றே
இந்த ஊரெங்கும் உன் வீடு
எல்லோரும் நலமாக
ராகம் எந்நாளும் நீ பாடு
உறவெனும் நூலில்
ஒரு மாலை கட்டிப் போடு
உலகெல்லாம் வீசும்
அதன் வாசம் என்று கூறு
O joyful gentle breeze!

நானும் வந்தேனே
மாலை தந்து நான் கொண்ட
மன்னன் கொஞ்சும் கண்ணாக
சொந்தம் எல்லாம் நாள் தோறும்
மெச்சும் நல்ல பெண்ணாக
This is not just a house,
I shall call it a temple.
To serve here forever,
I too have arrived.
As the beloved one fondled by the king
Who gave me a garland in marriage,
As a virtuous woman praised every day
By all my relatives,
குற்றம் குறை........
குற்றம் இல்லாமல் வாழ்ந்து காட்டுவேன்
என் சொந்தம் அன்பு பந்தம்
என்றென்றும் உள்ள இன்பம் இன்பம்
Faults and flaws...
I will show that I can live without any flaws.

Bring everlasting joy and bliss to the heart.

Existing on this earth,
All human beings are my relations.
Prattling innocently,
All children are my treasure.
எந்தக் கண்ணும் ஓர் நாளும்
கண்ணீர் சிந்தக் கூடாது
கண்ணீர் சிந்திப் பார்த்தாலே
எந்தன் உள்ளம் தாங்காது
Not a single eye on any day
Should ever shed a tear.
For if I see tears being shed,
My heart cannot bear it.
துக்கம் இல்லா.....
துக்கம் இல்லாத வாழ்க்கை வேண்டுவேன்
நான் எந்த வழி வந்தேன்
பூந்தென்றல் வந்த அந்த வழி
Without any sorrow...
I pray for a life free from sorrow.
Which path did I come from?
The very path from which the gentle breeze arrived.
