Vaazhkaiyil enakkoru pudhuraagam
Vandhadhai enni padattuma
Vaazhkaiyil enakkoru pudhuraagam
Vandhadhai enni padattuma
Vaanam paadi than koottukullae
Thirumbiya kadhaiyai koorattuma
Vaanam paadi than koottukullae
Thirumbiya kadhaiyai koorattuma
Vaazhkaiyil enakkoru pudhuraagam
Vandhadhai enni padattuma
{Kadal thaandi ponadhoru pillai
Sugamaga vandhadhoru ellai
Ini endrum kadhai illai
Uravae inbam} (2)
Andha vaanil sila kaalam
Bandha paasam illaamal
Sendra vaazhvu ini illai
Indha veettil naan mullai
Vaazhkaiyil enakkoru pudhuraagam
Vandhadhai enni padattuma

Vaazhvu indru uravadu
Vaazhkaiyil enakkoru pudhuraagam
Vandhadhai enni padattuma
Vaanam paadi than koottukullae
Thirumbiya kadhaiyai koorattuma
A new melody has entered my life,
shall I sing about its arrival?
A new melody has entered my life,
shall I sing about its arrival?
The story of how a skylark returned to its nest—
shall I tell that tale?
The story of how a skylark returned to its nest—
shall I tell that tale?
A new melody has entered my life,
shall I sing about its arrival?
A child who crossed the seas
has safely reached a peaceful haven;
from now on, there is no other story to tell,
family and togetherness are true joy.
Wandering through the open sky for a while,
without any bonds of affection—
that past life is no more;
in this home, I am like a blooming jasmine.
A new melody has entered my life,
shall I sing about its arrival?
The story of how a skylark returned to its nest—
shall I tell that tale?
Wherever we are, our parents are our true treasure,
even if we wander, they remain gods in our hearts.
A bond that reunites even after being apart—
that is the true meaning of love.
A brief period was spent living in exile,
but this moment brings comfort and peace.
The priceless affection given by a mother,
the deep, lifelong love held by a father...
A new melody has entered my life,
shall I sing about its arrival?
The garden yearned for the rains,
and in the temple of the heart, peacocks gather to dance.
Just thinking of it makes a river of joy flow,
like the bright colors of a festive day.
Ah... aa...
The garden yearned for the rains,
and in the temple of the heart, peacocks gather to dance.
Just thinking of it makes a river of joy flow,
like the bright colors of a festive day.
Where the cuckoo of motherhood sings,
this blessed home is a blooming grove.
With the life partner gifted by time,
life embraces happiness today...
A new melody has entered my life,
shall I sing about its arrival?
The story of how a skylark returned to its nest—
shall I tell that tale?
