வருது வருது இளங்காற்று
இந்த வசந்தமலரின் இடம் பார்த்து
இனிது இனிது அதன் பாட்டு
இந்த இதயம் ரசிக்கும் அசை போட்டு…
It is coming, it is coming
The gentle young breeze
Finding the place
Of this spring flower
சிறகு முளைத்த கிளி போலே
மனம் பறக்க நினைக்கும் புவி மேலே
தனிமை நினைவு இனி ஏது
ஒரு தலைவன் தழுவ வரும்போது …
Sweet, sweet
Is its song
This heart
Relishes and turns it over in mind
வருது வருது இளங்காற்று
இந்த வசந்தமலரின் இடம் பார்த்து
இனிது இனிது அதன் பாட்டு
இந்த இதயம் ரசிக்கும் அசை போட்டு…
Like a parrot
That has grown wings
The heart wishes to fly
Above the earth
What sweet memory is loneliness now,
When a lover comes to embrace?
நாடியெங்கும் ஓடிச்சென்று
நாளும் ஒரு சூடேற்றும் ரூபமே …
நேசம் என்னும் நெய்யை விட்டு
நெஞ்சில் நிதம் நான் ஏற்றும் தீபமே …
It is coming, it is coming
The gentle young breeze
Finding the place
Of this spring flower
தோளில் உனை தாங்குவேன்
இதழ் தேனை..தினம் வாங்குவேன்
கேளு பரிமாறுவேன்
அதில் நானும் பசியாறுவேன்…
Sweet, sweet
Is its song
This heart
Relishes and turns it over in mind
பாலும் தேனும்
தீர தீர ஊறுமா…
Running through all the veins
A form that brings warmth every day
Female: Pouring the ghee called love
A lamp that I light daily in my heart
வருது வருது இளங்காற்று
இந்த வசந்தமலரின் இடம் பார்த்து
இனிது இனிது அதன் பாட்டு
இந்த இதயம் ரசிக்கும் அசை போட்டு…
I will support you on my shoulders
I will taste lip honey daily
Female: Ask, and I shall serve
In that, I too will satisfy my hunger
Male: Milk and honey
Will they flow endlessly?

It is coming, it is coming
The gentle young breeze
Finding the place
Of this spring flower
ஊரைச் சுற்றும் தேரும் இன்று
சேரும் இடம் சேராமல் வாடுதே..
தேவன் வந்தான்..தேரைக்கண்டு
சோகம் இனி சொல்லாமல் ஓடுமே..
Sweet, sweet
Is its song
This heart
Relishes and turns it over in mind
நாளை சுப வேளைதான்
அதில் கூடும் மணமாலை தான்
நாளும் புது லீலைதான்
இனி ஏது இடைவேளை தான் ...
ஆடல் பாடல்
ஆவல் தீர காணலாம்
The temple chariot that goes around town today
Withers without reaching its destination
Male: God came seeing the chariot
Sorrow will now run away without a word
வருது வருது இளங்காற்று
இந்த வசந்தமலரின் இடம் பார்த்து
இனிது இனிது அதன் பாட்டு
இந்த இதயம் ரசிக்கும் அசை போட்டு…
Tomorrow is an auspicious time
The wedding garland that unites then
Male: Every day is a new playful act
Where is any interval now?
Female: Dance and song
We can watch to fulfill our desire
சிறகு முளைத்த கிளி போலே
மனம் பறக்க நினைக்கும் புவி மேலே
தனிமை நினைவு இனி ஏது
ஒரு தலைவன் தழுவ வரும்போது …
It is coming, it is coming
The gentle young breeze
Finding the place
Of this spring flower
வருது வருது இளங்காற்று
