Kuthu vilakkoliye
Muthu manichudare
Ennai kattikkonda kiliye
Kaalai pani thuliye
Sirippinile sindhi vizhum
Pavalamani paarkaiyile
Kudisaiyum kovilena aakkiya kulamagale
Varamena vanthavale vadivazhage azhage
Kuthu vilakkoliye
Muthu manichudare
Kuthu vilakkoliye
Unnai pera seitha thavam
Athanaiyum oorariyum
Nonbirunthu vendiyathai
Oorariyum ulagariyum
Ezhaigalaam engalukke
Thirumagalaai vanthavale
Thollai thara varubavarai
Dhoora nirkka vaithavale
Engalin selvamellaam
Avai anaithum neeyadiyo
Unnai vittaal naathiyillai
Veethi anathaigale
Kuthu vilakkoliye
Muthu manichudare
Pottiyum poraamaigalum
Potti podum kuppathile
Pottiyittu unnai kaana
Thedi vara vaithavale
Yaarumilla anathaigalaai
Olai kudisaiyil vaazhnthirunthom
Therenave thedi vanthaai
Thirumagale enna solvom
Pallikku pona pinne
Verum kudisaiyai paarthiruppom
Kadal manalil siru kudisai
Nee vara kaathirukkum
Kuthu vilakkoliye
Muthu manichudare
Ennai kattikkonda kiliye
Kaalai pani thuliye
Sirippinile sindhi vizhum
Pavalamani paarkaiyile
Kudisaiyum kovilena aakkiya kulamagale
Varamena vanthavale vadivazhage azhage
Kuthu vilakkoliye
Muthu manichudare
Kuthu vilakkoliye
O light of the sacred lamp,
O radiant pearl of light,
O little parrot holding me close,
O morning dewdrop,
Spilling from your laughter,
when I look at those coral pearls,
O noble daughter who made our hut into a temple!
You who came as a blessing, O exquisite beauty,
O light of the sacred lamp,
O radiant pearl of light,
O light of the sacred lamp!
All the penance we did to have you,
the whole town knows it well.
How we fasted and prayed for you,
the town knows and the whole world knows.
To poor folk like us,
you came as the goddess of fortune,
keeping anyone far away
who came to cause us trouble.
All the wealth we possess,
all of it is only you, my dear!
Without you, we have no one,
we are just orphans on the street.
O light of the sacred lamp,
O radiant pearl of light!
In this coastal village where rivalries
and jealousies constantly clash,
you made people compete
and come searching just to see you!
With no one for us, like orphans,
we lived in a thatched hut.
Like a temple chariot, you came searching for us,
O goddess of fortune, what more can we say?
Once you leave for school,
we just stare at the empty hut.
This little hut on the sea sand
waits for you to return.
O light of the sacred lamp,
O radiant pearl of light,
O little parrot holding me close,
O morning dewdrop,
Spilling from your laughter,
when I look at those coral pearls,
O noble daughter who made our hut into a temple!
You who came as a blessing, O exquisite beauty,
O light of the sacred lamp,
O radiant pearl of light,
O light of the sacred lamp!
