07/04. அமிழ்தினும் ஆற்ற இனிதேதம் மக்கள்
சிறுகை அளாவிய கூழ்.

07/04. Amizhdhinum aatrra inidhedham makkal
Srrugai allaaviya koozh.

07/04. The food that is handled by our children
Is more than nectar in the Heaven.
***
Wife: The food touched by our son
Tastes like nectar in Heaven.

Husband: True, Any child is God.
So, the touch of God we feel,
When we eat that food,
That tastes more than nectar.

Why I say he's God?
With no ego, he's too good.
With no likes and dislikes
He remains always flawless.

Any child is an asset.
That age, in fact, is the best,
When he gives full happiness
To his joyful parents.

07/05. மக்கள்மெய் தீண்டல் உடற்கின்பம்; மற்றவர்
சொற்கேட்டால் இன்பம் செவிக்கு.

07/05. Makkallmei theendal udarrkkinbam; matrravar
Sorrkettal inbam sevikku.

07/05. One gets joy when his children touch him.
And more joy hearing their prattle.
***

Wife: How nice to hear our child's prattling?

Husband: True, It sounds more than musical.
The child wants to tell us something,
But only the words are missing.
What he says, we keep on guessing?

When he touches my body,
It becomes shaky
My body hairs are rising
And this I'm enjoying.

It's a good experience
If we share with patience
All the child's plays
He does in his own ways.

07/06. குழலினுது யாழினிது என்பதம் மக்கள்
மழலைச்சொல் கேளா தவர்.

07/06. Kuzhalinidhu yazhinidhu enbadam makkall
Mazhalaichol kaella dhavar.

07/06. One who has not heard a child's sweet prattles
He'll say flute and Yaazh are melodius.
(Yaazh instrument is like Veena)

***
Wife: My son's sweet prattles
Make me very happy.

Husband: I'm also so happy
When I hear his prattles.
Some will say Flute
Sounds to hear is sweet..

Some others will say
To hear Veena's play
It is so melodius
That none should miss.

Such people haven't heard
The prattles of a child,
So, they give more importance
To such lifeless instruments.
