Goddess who gifted me the Divine,
A painting shining through the dark,
Goddess who gifted me the Divine,
A painting shining through the dark,
Goddess who holds me up through every sorrow,
My very soul rests gently in your lap,
In your loving gaze that heals all pain,
The whole world lies beneath my feet.
My life, my soul, I belong to you,
Shall I give you the skies, or give you myself?
Kannan, my beloved, my king,
Shall I place heaven right in your hands?
Something inside brings a smile to my heart,
A cuckoo is singing deep within me.
Female: Like a spell, your eyes draw me in,
Everything you touch blossoms into life.
You are the primal mother to me,
Flowing like water over a rock.
Female: Kiss me, my sweet Tamil,
Male: You are everything to me, my love,
Female: Honey flows sweetly into my ears.
Goddess who gifted me the Divine,
Goddess who gifted me the Divine,
A painting shining through the dark,
Goddess who holds me up through every sorrow,
My very soul rests gently in your lap,
In your loving gaze that heals all pain,
The whole world lies beneath my feet.
My life, my soul, I belong to you,
Shall I give you the skies, or give you myself?
Kannan, my beloved, my king,
Shall I place heaven right in your hands?
