வாழ்க்கையில் எனக்கொரு புதுராகம்
வந்ததை எண்ணிப் பாடட்டுமா
வாழ்க்கையில் எனக்கொரு புதுராகம்
வந்ததை எண்ணிப் பாடட்டுமா
வானம்பாடி தன் கூட்டுக்குள்ளே
திரும்பிய கதையைக் கூறட்டுமா
வானம்பாடி தன் கூட்டுக்குள்ளே
திரும்பிய கதையைக் கூறட்டுமா
A new melody has entered my life,
Shall I sing thinking about its arrival?
A new melody has entered my life,
Shall I sing thinking about its arrival?

{கடல் தாண்டிப் போனதொரு பிள்ளை
சுகமாக வந்ததொரு எல்லை
இனி என்றும் வேறு கதை இல்லை
உறவே இன்பம்} (2)
A child who went across the sea,
Has happily reached a sweet destination,
There are no more painful stories from now on,
Relationships bring true joy
அந்த வானில் சில காலம்
பந்த பாசமே இல்லாமல்
சென்ற வாழ்வு இனி இல்லை
இந்த வீட்டில் நான் முல்லை
For some time in those distant skies,
Living without ties or affection,
That past life exists no more,
In this house, I am now a blooming jasmine
வாழ்க்கையில் எனக்கொரு புதுராகம்
வந்ததை எண்ணிப் பாடட்டுமா
வானம்பாடி தன் கூட்டுக்குள்ளே
திரும்பிய கதையைக் கூறட்டுமா
A new melody has entered my life,
Shall I sing thinking about its arrival?
A skylark returning to its nest,
Shall I tell the story of its return?
{இருந்தாலும் ஈன்றவர்கள் செல்வம்
மறந்தாலும் நெஞ்சிலவர் தெய்வம்
பிரிந்தாலும் சேர்ந்துவிடும் பந்தம்
இதன் பேரே பாசம்} (2)
Wherever one goes, children remain the treasure of their parents,
Even if forgotten for a moment, parents remain gods in the heart,
Though separated by distance, the bond eventually reunites,
This enduring affection is what we call true love
கொஞ்ச காலம் வனவாசம்
இந்த நேரம் சுகவாசம்
அன்னை தந்த உயர் பாசம்
தந்தை கொண்ட உயிர் நேசம்.......
A brief period spent in exile,
Has now turned into a time of sweet comfort,
The noble love given by a mother,
The deep soulful affection held by a father
வாழ்க்கையில் எனக்கொரு புதுராகம்
வந்ததை எண்ணிப் பாடட்டுமா
A new melody has entered my life,
Shall I sing thinking about its arrival?
மழைக்காலம் தேடியது தோட்டம்
மனக்கோயில் புள்ளி மயில் கூட்டம்
நினைத்தாலே இன்ப நதி ஓட்டம்
திருநாள் கோலம்
ஹா..ஆஅ...
மழைக்காலம் தேடியது தோட்டம்
மனக்கோயில் புள்ளி மயில் கூட்டம்
நினைத்தாலே இன்ப நதி ஓட்டம்

தாய்மை என்னும் குயில் பாடும்
சோலை இந்த திருவீடு
காலம் தந்த துணையோடு
வாழ்வு இன்று உறவாடு........
A cuckoo named motherhood sings,
This holy home is a flourishing grove,
With the life companion granted by time,
Life today revels in family bonds
