As day and night kiss, the silky moon comes down from the sky shining like an angel on earth to celebrate this Karthigai festival!
Mm mm mmm mm mm mm mmm
Is she pure classical Tamil, or a charming beauty? A vine showering musical notes? Like a gentle flower, she alone outshines even the bright lamps.
To surround and support you like close friends, the stars would leave the sky and descend; to be touched by your feet, Mother Earth herself would beg! Chorus: Aah-aah... mm mm mmm...
Let your lightning-like glow and braided hair never leave us longing in wonder forever.
