Santhana malargal aada ennudan kuyilgal paada
Indru kandaen ilamiyin nadanam
Atho vaanile oraayiram nilaa pooththathu
Idho bhoomiyil en paadalil vizhaa pooththathu
Mazhaiyil yuvaraani malaraadai kandu
Ivanin manam paadum malai naattu sindhu

Rukku rukku rukku rukku haiyyaa... ah...
Look there, a thousand moons have bloomed in the sky!
Look here, a celebration has blossomed through my song on earth!
I am drenched in the soft mist, what pure sweetness!
A flower breeze embraces my heart in a wondrous new way!
As sandalwood blossoms sway and cuckoos sing along with me,
Today I witnessed the joyful dance of youth!
Look there, a thousand moons have bloomed in the sky!
Look here, a celebration has blossomed through my song on earth!
Seeing the princess dressed in floral robes in the rain,
His heart sings a mountain-country folk tune!
Golden fish leap to the river's lullaby,
Singing a poem of praise for her beauty!
I saw a sight my eyes had never seen before,
I stood still without speaking a single word.
I saw a sight my eyes had never seen before,
I stood still without speaking a single word.
The gentle breeze caressed my hand,
Lightning became my friend, and my heart took flight!
Look there, a thousand moons have bloomed in the sky, ah...
Look here, a celebration has blossomed through my song on earth, yeah hoo!
Clouds from the Pothigai hills carry rain across the sky,
Fresh fragrances spread all over the flower garden!
Sweet music wears a glorious crown,
A herd of young deer plays affectionately with me!
When a flower of a girl whispered her name,
I leaped with joy across the open skies!
When a flower of a girl whispered her name,
I leaped with joy across the open skies!
I felt my first sweet trance, I found a whole new world,
Spring has blossomed everywhere today!
Look there, a thousand moons have bloomed in the sky!
Look here, a celebration has blossomed through my song on earth!
I am drenched in the soft mist, what pure sweetness!
A flower breeze slips past my heart in a wondrous new way!
As sandalwood blossoms sway and cuckoos sing along with me,
Today I witnessed the joyful dance of youth, ha!
Look there, a thousand moons have bloomed in the sky, ah...
Look here, a celebration has blossomed through my song on earth, hoo!
