Like the dark hair of a young woman
from the Pandiya land of Sangam (ancient Tamil literary tradition),
sprinkling a gentle drizzle with playful charm,
the clouds drift high above.
Resting upon the green grass,

the maiden known as dew,
like a loving mother full of affection,
showered her tender kisses.

In the murmuring waterfall,
there is music, sweet music!

there is music, sweet music!
As if resting on a mother's open lap,
a comforting happiness embraces us,
pure joy, pure joy!
