Anantham anantham paadum
Manam aasaiyin oonjalil aadum
Anantham anantham paadum
Manam aasaiyin oonjalil aadum
Aayiram aayiram kaalam
Intha nyaabagam poomazhai thoovum
Kaatrinil saaral pola paaduthae
Pookkalil thendral pola theduthae
Nee varum paadhaiyil
Kangalaal dhavam iruppen
Anantham anantham paadum
Manam aasaiyin oonjalil aadum
Aayiram aayiram kaalam
Intha nyaabagam poomazhai thoovum
Unnai paartha naalil thaan
Kannil paarvai thondriyathu
Undhan perai solli thaan
Endhan bhaasai thondriyathu
Unnai moodi vaikka thaan
Kannil imaigal thondriyathu
Unnai soodi paarkka thaan
Pookkal maalai aagiyathu
Nee ennai sernthidum varaiyil
Idhayathil swaasangal illai
Nee vanthu thangiya nenjil

Aasai kaadhal kaigalil sernthaal
Vaazhvae sorgam aagumae

Intha nyaabagam poomazhai thoovum
Joy, it sings of pure joy
My heart swings on a swing of desires
Joy, it sings of pure joy
My heart swings on a swing of desires
For thousands and thousands of years
This memory will shower a rain of flowers
It sings like a gentle drizzle in the wind
It searches like a soft breeze among flowers
Along the path where you will walk
I will wait in devotion with my eyes
Joy, it sings of pure joy
My heart swings on a swing of desires
For thousands and thousands of years
This memory will shower a rain of flowers
Only on the day I saw you
Did my eyes truly gain sight
Only when speaking your name
Did words find their voice in me
Only to protect and shelter you
Were eyelids given to my eyes
Only to adorn you and admire
Did flowers become a garland
Until the moment you joined me
There was no breath in my heart
In this heart where you have made your home
There is no room for anyone else
The loved one I longed for again and again
Has finally arrived at my doorstep
Joy, it sings of pure joy
My heart swings on a swing of desires
For thousands and thousands of years
This memory will shower a rain of flowers
La la la la... aah... la la la la la...
La la la la... aah... la la la la la...
La la la la...
La la la la la....
Separated from you, on any day
My soul cannot live on
To live within your love
A single lifetime is not enough
In this heart that thinks of you
No other thought will ever arise
Even if the wind stops blowing
This love will never stop
The life I searched for everywhere
Your bond of love gave me here
The words that searched for rhythm
Became beautiful music here
When the love you desire is held in your hands
Life itself turns into heaven
Joy, it sings of pure joy
My heart swings on a swing of desires
For thousands and thousands of years
This memory will shower a rain of flowers
It sings like a gentle drizzle in the wind
It searches like a soft breeze among flowers
Along the path where you will walk
I will wait in devotion with my eyes
Joy, it sings of pure joy
My heart swings on a swing of desires
For thousands and thousands of years
This memory will shower a rain of flowers
