Waves of love are flowing
The gentle breeze strolls by
Waves of love are flowing

On this earth, this home is a treasure
Living in it is pure joy every day
Many loving bonds cherish each other here
It even surpasses heaven itself
What good deed did I do to deserve this?

The butterflies guard
the flowers in our garden
The soft silken moon visits our courtyard every day
just to paint it white with its glow
As far as the eye can see,
there is no sign of sorrow
Because we are blessed with everything we wish for,
we never trouble God with worries
The sweet song of smiles
is always heard in our nest
The sacred lesson of love
is our daily homework in life

Thith thith thara
Thith thara thiththi thara raa

You created happiness,
gave me my sons like my very two eyes,
and blessed me with all sixteen blessings of life
O Lord, what can I ever give you in return?
I have nothing but my life
to offer at your holy feet
So that my family remains united like this forever
and worships at your feet,
grant us your grace, my Lord
Understanding a mother's heart,
you must bestow this one blessing upon me
Thith thara thiththi thara raa
Thith thith thara
If we take birth on this earth again,
we want to be the same family once more
Only in yielding and compromising for one another
will we compete and rejoice every day
Understanding what lies in each other's hearts,
we will turn our relationship into poetry
Even in our dreams, to stop the word 'separation'
from ever entering, we will shut the doors tight
All the happiness in the world
came searching for our home
Just like sweet music, our life
has become truly beautiful
Thith thara thiththi thara raa
Thith thith thara
