Thenkizhakku Lyrics (with English Translation) – Vaazhai | Dhee
Thenkizhakku Then Chittu
A honeybird is flying in from the southeast…
Sembaruthi Poo Mottu
A hibiscus bud is blooming…
Sellam Konjudhe Thalaattu
A little child is being put to sleep…
Ethanaiyo Kaalam Vaaradha Vaanavil
Like a rainbow that hasn’t appeared for centuries,
Vandhadhu Pol Nee Pesu
Talk to me.
Uchiyil Neendum Aakasa Meenenna, Thullidudhe Un Aasai
Like a divine fish swimming in the sky, your desires leap.
Mazhai Adikkum Un Sirippil, Sedi Mulaikkum Naan Poovaaga
Your laughter brings the rain, and I turn into a flower from the plant.
Veyil Adikkum Naal Varaiyum, Kudai Pidippen Un Thaayaaga
Until the sun shines, I will keep you close like your mother.
Nee Nee Sollum Kadhai
The story you tell,
Naan Naan Kaekkum Vara
The boon I ask for,
Naamavom Maaya Paravaigale
We will become magical birds.
Thenkizhakku Then Chittu
A honeybird is flying in from the southeast…
Sembaruthi Poo Mottu
A hibiscus bud is blooming…
Sellam Konjudhe Thalaattu
A little child is being put to sleep…
Oththaiyil Pogum Vettaveli Megam, Metteduthu Paadaadho Rekkaivirichchi
A lonely cloud in the open sky, Spread your wings high in the sky and sing a melody.
Sitherumbu Podum Natchathira Kolam
Solladuthu Veesaadho Unna Rasichchu
Like the star patterns created by ants, admire and promote yourself.
Therinjche Nee Seiyyum Settai, Thelivaga Unna Kaattu
The mischief you deliberately engage in clearly reveals you.
Adhil Kodi Raagam Naanum Meetta
I played a million melodies in it.
Theruvengum Thera Otta
Drive the chariot through the streets,
Maramellaam Oonjal Aatta
Let all the trees swing.
Perugaadho Kaalam Vegam Koota
Lest time speed up its course.
Panangarkum Paal Surakkum, Adha Ninaichche Nee Kondaadu
The palm tree will give milk; think about it and celebrate.
Pasi Marakkum Naal Pirakkum, Vali Marandhe Nee Kooththaadu
The day will come when hunger will be forgotten, pain will be forgotten, and you will dance.
Nee Nee Sollum Kadhai Naan Naan Kaekkum Vara
Naamavom Maaya Paravaigale
The story you tell, the blessing I ask for, will transform us into magical birds.
Panangarkum Paal Surakkum, Adha Ninaichche Nee Kondaadu
The palm tree will give milk; think about it and celebrate.
Pasi Marakkum Naal Pirakkum, Vali Marandhe Nee Kooththaadu
The day will come when hunger will be forgotten, pain will be forgotten, and you will dance.
