என் நெஞ்சம் துள்ள பிஞ்சுன்னை அள்ள
என் நெஞ்சம் துள்ள பிஞ்சுன்னை அள்ள
ஆனந்தத்தின் எல்லைக்கு நான் சென்றேன்
அன்போடு பிள்ளை என்று சொன்னேன்
As my heart leaps, to scoop you up, little one

I reached the limits of bliss

A male child to carry forward the name
Until this day, I did not have that
You came to fulfill that void
You made me accept you as the child born of my womb
பேர் சொல்லத்தான் ஒரு ஆண் பிள்ளையே
இந்நாள் வரை அது எனக்கில்லையே
அந்த குறை தீர்த்து வைக்க நீயும் வந்தாய்
என் வயிற்று பிள்ளையென ஏற்க வைத்தாய்
That Lord Krishna
Stole butter and went away
But this Krishna stole my heart long ago
I reached the limits of bliss
அந்த கண்ணன்
வெண்ணையைதான் திருடி சென்றான்
இந்த கண்ணன் என்னை என்றோ திருடி விட்டான்
ஆனந்தத்தின் எல்லைக்கு நான் சென்றேன்
அன்போடு பிள்ளை என்று சொன்னேன்
A colorful garden spilling fragrance

Just a few drops from the sea water
Clouds run in my sky
That cloud turns into rain
And falls back into the sea again
கடல் நீரிலே சில துளிகள்தான்
மேகம் என வானில் ஓடும்
மேகமது மழையென மாறி விடும்
மீண்டும் அது கடலினில் வந்து விழும்
A bond from a previous birth must have existed
For you to come here as my child
I reached the limits of bliss
I called you my child with love
போன ஜென்ம பந்தம் ஒன்று இருந்திருக்க
பிள்ளையென நீயும் இங்க வந்திருக்க
ஆனந்தத்தின் எல்லைக்கு நான் சென்றேன்
அன்போடு பிள்ளை என்று சொன்னேன்
A colorful garden spilling fragrance
