| Hey irutta ulla vaanatha | Hey, the sky that was filled with darkness |
| Velicham aakki puttom | We have turned it into light |

It is all a single grand celebration
Diwali has finally arrived
Light up the firecrackers
Sparklers have bloomed in the street

Hey, the sky that was filled with darkness
We have turned it into light
Hey, the star that flew far away
We caught it right down on the ground
ஏய் இருட்டா உள்ள வானத்த
வெளிச்சம் ஆக்கி புட்டோம்
ஏய் தூரத்தில் பறந்த விண்மீன
தரையில புடிச்சு புட்டோம்
