A, Aa, E, Ee
The sky is teaching us!
On it, the shape of a butterfly
Was painted by a passing cloud!
A, Aa, E, Ee
The sky is teaching us!
Listening to the secrets
That the rivers whisper,
The trees gently
Nod their heads.
Draped in green sarees,
The open fields reveal their faces.
Standing on one leg, clusters of flowers
Come together and tease with gestures.
Turning into a bird, the heart
Flies far... far away...

Oh
The smell of the earth
Mingling in the wind
Also makes its home
Inside our hearts.
The unique warmth and affection
Special to our village
Spreads its fragrance
In the way we speak too.
No dish can ever match the taste
Of a shared potluck meal.
Compared to the beauty of the girls in half-sarees here,
Even Miss World is no match.
With wealth and luxuries
Your mind may feel content,
But the stomach will not be filled, my friend!
Instead of grains of rice,
We cannot eat
Pure gold, after all, my friend... ah... aa...

...
Oh... va ha... aa... ha
Even the sun that wakes up
In the morning
Wipes its face in the mist
And combs its hair.
Along the dusty
Roads that wander around,
Raindrops walk
Hand in hand.
In a pure and innocent heart,
Sadness cannot stay.
Like a life lived
Together as one,
There is no greater happiness here!
Every single second
Was born just for us;
Live and enjoy it fully, my friend!
Even if our enemy
Comes and stands before us,
Let us show them love, my friend... ah... aa...
A, Aa, E, Ee
The sky is teaching us!
On it, the shape of a butterfly
Was painted by a passing cloud!
A, Aa, E, Ee
The sky is teaching us!
Listening to the secrets
That the rivers whisper,
The trees gently
Nod their heads.
Draped in green sarees,
The open fields reveal their faces.
Standing on one leg, clusters of flowers
Come together and tease with gestures.
Turning into a bird, the heart
Flies far... far away...
A, Aa, E, Ee
The sky is teaching us!
On it, the shape of a butterfly
Was painted by a passing cloud!
A, Aa, E, Ee
The sky is teaching us!
