வளையல்
கரங்களை பார்க்கிறேன்
வியந்து வேர்க்கிறேன்
அழகுக்கு அழகு சேர்க்கிறேன்
விரல்கள் பட பட சிலிர்த்ததா
கனவில் துளிர்த்ததா விழிகள்
சிவந்து போனதா
I look at hands adorned with bangles
I sweat in wonder
I add beauty to beauty
Did your fingers shiver in excitement?
Did it sprout in a dream?
Did your eyes turn red?
தொட்டாலே
தொட்டாலே பூ தான்
மலரும் தொடாமல்
பூத்த பூவே சுட்டாலே
சுட்டாலே பொன் தான்
மின்னும் சுடாமல்
மின்னும் பொன்னே
Only when touched
A flower blooms
Oh flower that bloomed untouched!
Only when heated
Gold shines
Oh gold that shines without heating!
கண்ணே உன்
கண்ணே உன் கண்ணில்
யாரு காதோடு கூறு மானே
கைகூடும் கைகூடும்
எண்ணம் யாவும் கல்யாண
நாளில் தானே
Oh my eyes, in your eyes
Who is in your eyes?
Tell me softly in my ear, my deer
They will come true, they will come true
All your desires
Only on the wedding day
வளையல்
கரங்களை பார்க்கிறேன்
வியந்து வேர்க்கிறேன்
அழகுக்கு அழகு சேர்க்கிறேன்

சிவந்து போனதா
I look at hands adorned with bangles
I sweat in wonder
I add beauty to beauty
Did your fingers shiver in excitement?
Did it sprout in a dream?
Did your eyes turn red?
ஓ... ஒவ்வொரு
கையிலும் வண்ண
கோலங்கள் வரைந்தவன்
வீட்டிலே வாழ்பவர்
நெஞ்சம் யாவிலும்
நிறைந்தவா்
Oh, in everyone's hands
He who drew colorful patterns
He who lives in our home
He who resides in all our hearts
குடும்பத்தில்
நானும் இன்று ஒருவன்
குயிலென பாடுகின்ற
சிறுவன் அனைவருக்கும்
எனை பிடிக்கும்
In this family, I too am
One member today
A young boy who sings like a cuckoo
Everyone likes me
பிரிவுகள் எந்த
நாளும் வாராது இடி
மின்னல் தாக்கும் போது
கூட பிளவுகள் என்றும்
வானில் நேராது நீ
இல்லாமல் நானேது
Separations will never occur
Even when thunder and lightning strike
Losses never happen in the sky
What am I without you?
இந்நாளும்
எந்நாளும் உன்னை
பாட எங்கேயும்
தென்றல் உண்டு
உன்னோடு உன்னோடு
சேரும் எந்தன் அன்பான

There is a breeze everywhere
Joining with you and only you
Are my two loving eyes

தெரிந்தவன் யார் மனம்
யார் வசம் பூர்வ ஜாதகம்
புரிந்தவன்
Oh maiden, I am someone
Who knows pulse-reading astrology
Whose heart belongs to whom
One who understands past horoscopes
அரும்பிய ஆசை
பூத்து காய்க்கும் அதற்கொரு
வேலை வந்து வாய்க்கும்
தமிழ் அறிந்த இசை கலைஞன்
எனது சொல் எந்த நாளும்
தோற்காது
Budding desires will flower and bear fruit
A time for that will surely arrive
A musical artist knowledgeable in Tamil
My word will never fail
விரும்பிய கைகள்
சூடும் மாலை விழுந்திடும்
வஞ்சி உந்தன் தோள் மீது
வா உன் வாழ்வு உன் கையில்
The garland adorned by desired hands
Will land upon your shoulders, maiden
Come, your life is in your hands
செவ்வந்தி செவ்வந்தி
பூவே நீ தான் சந்தோசம்
காண வேண்டும் செந்தூர
செந்தூர கன்னம் பார்த்து
செவ்வானம் நாண வேண்டும்
Chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum
You are the flower
You should find happiness
Looking at your vermilion-tinged cheeks
The red sky should feel shy
