ஊர் கொஞ்சும் என் மக
நீ எந்தன் சாமிதான்

Chorus: Darling parrot, tiny idol
Born as her father's daughter
Hey…
அப்பனுக்கு ஆஸ்தியும்
நான்தானே
ஆசையா வந்தே பொறந்தேனே
வானத்தில் பட்டமா
ஒசரக்க பறந்தேனே
And the wealth of her father
Is none other than me
I was born out of pure love
Like a kite in the sky
I soared up high
எனக்கு இருக்கும்
கனவு எல்லாமே
நிலவுகிட்ட சொல்லி வைப்பேனே
வாசத்தில் விலையுற
வயல போல் இருப்பேனே.
Whatever dreams I have
All of my dreams
I will share them with the moon
Growing in affection
I will be like a fertile field
பொட்டப்புள்ள நெனப்புல
பசி எனக்கில்ல
இவ சிரிப்புல மயிலே.
வானவில்லின் கொடைகுள்ள
வாழ பஞ்சமில்லை
இடி மின்னல் இவ கூட
பாட்டு கட்டி ஆடும்
Thinking of my girl child
I feel no hunger at all
In her smile, oh peacock
Under the rainbow umbrella
There is no shortage of rain
Even thunder and lightning with her
Will write songs and dance

ஆச மக என்ன செஞ்சாலும்
அதட்ட கூட ஆச படமாட்டேன்
என் மக ஆம்பள
பத்துக்கு சமம்தானே
Whatever my darling daughter does
I won't even feel like scolding her
My daughter is equal
To ten young men put together
செவுத்து மேல
பந்த போலத்தான்
சனியையும் சுழட்டி அடிப்பாளே
காளைய கூடவும்
அண்ணனா நெனைப்பாலே
Off the wall
Like a bouncing ball
She will spin and strike bad fortune away
She considers even the farm bull as her brother
எப்பவுமே செல்ல புள்ள
விளையாட்டு புள்ள
ரெட்டை சுழி புள்ள அழகே
பெத்தவங்க முகத்துல
ஒரு சிரிப்புல
ஆச பொண்ணு ஆயுள்தானே
கூடிக்கிட்டு போகும்
Always a darling child
A playful little child
The beauty with a double hair whorl
On the faces of her parents
With just one smile from her
My beloved daughter's lifespan
Will keep multiplying
