Virutham

1.Thavi varum Megame yen,

Thai naadu  chelvaayo?

OOrulugam  pothavarum   yen,

Uthamarai  kanpaayo

1.Oh clouds which   comes jumping  ,

Would you go to  my mother land?

Would you see  my  great pure  one,

Who is being praised by countries and the world?

2,Indru manam muditha   yendhizhai  pol naan  inge  ,

Sondham kondaduvathai  ,

Cholli vida maatayo?

2.   I ,  like a pretty maid  who got married today  ,

Am claiming   relationship  , would you not tell that?

Song

1.Kadhal chiragai kathinil virithu  ,

Vana veethiyil parakkavaa  ?

Kannil niraintha   kanavanin marbil ,

Kanneer kadalil kulikkavaa?

1.Should I    fly in the expanse   of the sky  ,

Spreading the wings of love  in the wind?

Otr should   I take bath in the ocean of tears  ,

Shed on the chest of my husband who fills my eye?

2.Yannangalaale palam amaithu  ,

Iravum pagalum nadakkavaa?

Ithanai kalam irundathai yenni,

Iru  kai  kondu vanangavaa?

2.Should I erect a bridge by my thoughts  ,

And walk on it day and night?

Or Should I   salute him with both my hands,

Thinking about   my stay with him till now?

3. Mudhal naal  pudhu mana pen pol ,

Mugathai maraithal vendumaa?

Murayudan manantha kanavar  ,

Munnalum   parambarai naanam thondruma?

3. Should I hide my face  like,

The  new bride  on the first day?

Would the inherited shyness   appear before,

The   husband whom I got married properly?

4,Pirinthavar  meendum   chernthidum pothu  ,

Azhuthaal  konjam nimmathi,

Pesa maranthu   chilyai irunthaal  ,

Athu thaan  deivathin Sannathi  ,

Athu thaan Kadhal sannathi.

4,When people who have parted join again,

If you cry there is some solace,

But if we forget to talk and stand like a statue,

Then that is in front of God in a  temple  ,

That is    the  presence   of love.
