Thenkizhakku Lyrics with English Meaning | Dhee | Vaazhai

Thenkizhakku Thaen Chittu
Sembaruthi Poo Mottu
Chellam Konjuthe Thaalatta

Little honey bird from the southeast,
A budding hibiscus flower,
Lovingly cooing a lullaby.

Eththanaiyo Kaalam
Vaaraatha Vaanavil
Vandhathu Pol Nee Pesa

You speak as if
A rainbow that never appeared
For so many years has finally arrived.

Uchiyila Neendhum
Aagaasa Meen Ena
Thulliduthey Un Aasai

Your dreams leap with joy
Like a sky-fish
Swimming high above in the heavens.

Mazhai Adikkum Un Siripil
Chedi Mozhaikkum Naan Poovaaga
Veyil Adikkum Naal Varaikkum
Kodai Pudippen Un Thaayaaga

In the rain of your smile,
I bloom like a flower from a sprouting plant.
Until the scorching days arrive,
I will shield you like a mother.

Nee Nee Sollum Kadha
Naan Naan Ketkum Varaa
Naam Aavom Maaya Paravaigale

You tell your stories,
I will keep listening,
And together we’ll become magical birds.

Thenkizhakku Then Chittu
Sembaruthi Poo Mottu
Chellam Konjuthe Thaalatta

Little honey bird from the southeast,
A budding hibiscus flower,
Lovingly cooing a lullaby.

Oththaiyila Pogum Vettaveli Megam
Metteduthu Paadaatho Rekkai Virichu
Chitherumbu Podum Natchaththira Kolam
Solleduthu Veesatho Unna Rasichu

Won’t the lonely cloud crossing the open sky
Spread its wings and sing a melody?
Won’t the starry patterns woven by tiny ants
Scatter words of admiration for you?

Therinche Nee Seiyum Saettai
Thelivaaga Unna Kaatta
Adhil Kodi Raagam Naanum Meetta

Your playful mischief, though well known,
Reveals your true self so clearly.
In it, I too play
A million beautiful melodies.

Theruvengum Thera Otta
Maramellam Oonjal Aatta
Perugatho Kaalam Vegam Kootta

Let chariots race through every street,
Let every tree sway like a swing,
May time itself speed up and flourish.

Celebrate by imagining such abundance.
A day will come when hunger is forgotten,
Dance freely, leaving pain behind.
