ஏழை வீட்டில் பூத்த காலை நேரப் பூவே
ஏக்கம் என்ன மானே தூக்கம் கொள்ளு தேனே
நீ அழுதால் வானமழுகும் நிலவும் கூட வாடுமே
நானிருக்கேன் காலம் முழுதும் நாளை பொழுது மாறுமே
O morning flower that bloomed in a poor home,
Why the longing, my deer? Go to sleep, my honey.
If you cry, even the sky will weep, and the moon will wither.
I am here for a lifetime; tomorrow times will change.
ஏழை வீட்டில் பூத்த காலை நேரப் பூவே
ஏக்கம் என்ன மானே தூக்கம் கொள்ளு தேனே
O morning flower that bloomed in a poor home,
Why the longing, my deer? Go to sleep, my honey.
ஆகாய பந்தல் இதிலே அஞ்சு மலர் பூத்தது
பூச்சூடும் கனவில் ஒன்று நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே ஏங்குது
ஆகாய பந்தல் இதிலே அஞ்சு மலர் பூத்தது
பூச்சூடும் கனவில் ஒன்று நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே ஏங்குது
Under this sky canopy, five flowers have bloomed.
In dreams of adorning flowers, one heart yearns deep within.
Under this sky canopy, five flowers have bloomed.
In dreams of adorning flowers, one heart yearns deep within.
பூவொன்று வாசம் மறந்து வேரைத் தான் தாங்குது
தூங்கம்மா நீங்கள் என்று ஒரு முல்லை தூங்குது
பேசாமல் ஒரு பிள்ளை உள்ளம் மூச்சு வாங்குது
Forgetting its own fragrance, one flower supports the root itself.
Saying 'You go ahead, dear', a jasmine flower falls asleep.
Without speaking a word, a child's heart gasps for breath.

There is deep affection in her eyes,
Capable of ruling the whole world,
She possesses supreme wisdom.

மானம்தான் நீதி என்ற
மனதுக்குள் தீயும் உண்டு
போராட்டம் தாங்கும் நெஞ்சின்
பொறுமைக்கு வாழ்வு உண்டு
நீ கூட மகராணி தாயின் கனவு தானம்மா
Believing self-respect to be true justice,
There is a fire within her heart.
For a heart that endures hardship,
Patience will surely be rewarded with life.
You too are a queen, the dream of your mother.
