வான் தூறல்கள்
வாழ்த்துக்கள் பாட
நான் மீண்டுமே
பூக்கிறேன்
As drizzling rain from the sky
Sings songs of blessings,
I am once again
Blooming into life.
நீதானடி
இனி நீதானடி
தந்தாயே வாழ் நாட்களை
தாய் நானடி தந்தை நானடி
வழியாகிறேன்
வா என் வாகையே
You are the one, my dear,
From now on, you are the only one.
You gave me days truly worth living;
I am a mother to you, I am a father to you,
I am becoming the path for you.
Come, my victorious flower,
பறந்து போகலாம்
திறந்த வானிலே
ஒளியாய் நான் இருப்பேன்
உயிரே.....வா.....
Let us fly away together
Into the vast, open sky.
I will remain as your guiding light,
Oh my life... come...
வானமாய் நானகியே
சிறு வாதை தீண்டிடாமல் காப்பேன்
தோழி போல் நானகியே
உன் தேவை தேடி தேடி சேர்ப்பேன்
Transforming myself into the protective sky,
I will shield you so not even a minor affliction touches you.
Becoming like a dear friend,
I will seek out and fulfill every need of yours.
தேரிலா சிலை நான்
நீரிலா நிலம் நான்
சரியா பிழி மொழியா
இங்கு ஏது நான் அன்பே
I was once a idol without a chariot to carry it,
I was a parched land without water,
Am I right, wrong, or a language?
What am I here, my beloved?
மரங்கள் பூக்குதே
நிறங்கள் கூடுதே
உலகாய்.....நீ கிடைத்தாயே
மகளாய் நான்.......
Now trees are blooming with flowers,
Vibrant colors are gathering together,
Ever since I received you as my entire world...
And I, as a daughter...
