வானம் எங்கும் ஒரு வித
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :
கானம் பரவுது
மேகம் எங்கும் புது வித
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :
ராகம் பழகுது
Everywhere across the sky, a certain
song is spreading.
Everywhere among the clouds, a new kind of
raga is becoming familiar.
ஹா....ஆஅ.....ஆஅ....ஆஅ.....
மேடை தன்னில் ஒரு ஜீவன் எழுந்தது
ஹா....ஆஅ.....ஆஅ....ஆஅ.....
தேவை என்று ஒரு நாதம் பிறந்தது
Haaa....aaa.....aaaa...aaa...
A soul arose upon the stage.
Haaa....aaa.....aaaa...aaa...
A musical tone was born out of deep need.
ஹேய் ஆசை இதயமே
நான் தேனை பொழிகிறேன்
ஆடும் கலையிலே
புது வேகம் பெறுகிறேன்
ஆஹா இங்கே பூமி காலில் நழுவுது
காலில் நழுவுது
மோகம் என்னும் தீயை தேகம் தழுவுது
தேகம் தழுவுது
வா அன்பே
Oh, longing heart,
I am showering sweet honey.
In the art of dance,
I gain a newfound momentum.
Aha, here the earth slips from beneath my feet,
Slips beneath my feet.
The body embraces the fire known as passion,
Embraces the body.
Come, my love.
