Vizhikalae vizhikalae kavithai ondru punaiyungal
Imaigalae imaigalae anantha kanneeril nanaiyungal
Intha perinbam yaenindru kelungal
En per solla orr pillai paarungal
Vizhikalae vizhikalae kavithai ondru punaiyungal
Pesum oru dheivam antha pillaiyallavaa
Pirakkum konji sirikkum kodi mullaiyallavaa
Manivizhi maragatha dheepa adhil oru abhinaya paavam
Iru uyir thazhuviya neram iravinil ezhuthiya kolam
Antha kasthoorimaan thulli vaaraatho
Varum kaalangal nooraandu vaaraatho
Vizhikalae vizhikalae kavithai ondru punaiyungal
Ennai enthan pillai oru thanthaiyaakkinaan
Haha idhayam adhu muzhuthum inba thenai thekkinaan
Madiyinil avan vilaiyaada manathinil madhu nadhi kooda
Nilavena mugavoli veesa kiliyena oru mozhi pesa
Antha sangeetham naan ketkum naalenru
Andru saainthaadum pallaakku thol ondru
Vizhikalae vizhikalae kavithai ondru punaiyungal
Imaigalae imaigalae anantha kanneeril nanaiyungal
Intha perinbam yaenindru kelungal
En per solla orr pillai paarungal
Vizhikalae vizhikalae kavithai ondru punaiyungal…..
...
O eyes, O eyes, compose a poem!
O eyelashes, O eyelashes, soak in tears of joy!
Ask why this supreme bliss exists today!
Look, here is a child to carry on my name!
O eyes, O eyes, compose a poem!
Is not that child a speaking deity?
Is it not a flowering jasmine vine that is born and giggles sweetly?
Gem-like eyes, an emerald lamp, displaying an expressive posture!
It is a artistic pattern drawn in the night when two souls embraced!
Will that musk deer not come prancing?
Will a century of bright future years not arrive?
O eyes, O eyes, compose a poem!
My child has made me a father!
Haha, he filled the entire heart with the sweet honey of bliss!
As he plays on my lap, a river of sweet nectar flows in my mind!
His face glowing like the moon, speaking sweet words like a parrot!
When will be the day I listen to that music?
On that day, a shoulder will gently sway like a palanquin!
O eyes, O eyes, compose a poem!
O eyelashes, O eyelashes, soak in tears of joy!
Ask why this supreme bliss exists today!
Look, here is a child to carry on my name!
O eyes, O eyes, compose a poem...
