From the heart
to the lips,
it is a kind of
new art.
After the storm in the heart,
comes a sweet rain of nectar;
what is this story blooming in it
like a flower?
From the heart
to the lips,
it is a kind of
new art.
From the heart
to the lips,
it is a kind of
new art.
After the storm in the heart,
comes a sweet rain of nectar;
what blooms in it like a flower is
a love story.
From the heart
to the lips,
it is a kind of
new art.
In the gentle mist of Margazhi (auspicious Tamil winter month),
embracing the cool chill,
why did she offer a garland?
Believing you are the Lord,
she stood bowing in prayer,
because she became Andal (the poet-saint who wed God).
Like the Kaveri river, why does a flood of feelings
rush forth whenever I see you?
Like the Kaveri river, why does a flood of feelings
rush forth whenever I see you?
Because the joy born from the sound of your footsteps
is singing a song!
Because the joy born from the sound of your footsteps
is singing a song!
From the heart
to the lips,
it is a kind of
new art.
After the storm in the heart,
comes a sweet rain of nectar;
what is this story blooming in it
like a flower?
What story is it?
Female: That is a love story...
When the sun arrives, why does the young lotus
smile as sweetly as Tamil?
As the queen of the flower-pond bathes in the water,
because he showered her with golden turmeric sunlight!
When you touch me, why is there such a burning heat,
and why does even my shadow feel warm?
Carrying the bright lamp of womanhood in her eyes,
because she is longing for her wedding day!
From the heart
to the lips,
it is a kind of
new art.
Male: After the storm in the heart,
comes a sweet rain of nectar;
what is this story blooming in it
like a flower?
What story is it?
Female: That is a love story...
