Hey, la la la la la!
Hey, la la la la la!
La la la, la la, la la, la la, la la, la la!
For the deer and the fish,
for the peacock and the cuckoo,
there are no barriers.
Through every day and passing hour,
wings spread open wide;
what worries could there be now?
Dance and leap just as your heart desires,
my lovely doll!
It is time to witness wonders here,
come, come, come, come!
For the deer and the fish,
for the peacock and the cuckoo,
there are no barriers.
Through every day and passing hour,
wings spread open wide;
what worries could there be now?
Listen to the sweet voice
of a cuckoo in the mango grove!
Dancing with pure joy,
what cage could hold it here?
Swaying and dancing gently,
the flower gardens come alive,
while young parrots keep the exact beat!
My heart leaps over there,
and sings along in tune!
A gentle breeze blows,
clapping its hands to the rhythm!
Ga Ma Pa Sa Ni Sa

For the deer and the fish,

there are no barriers.
Through every day and passing hour,
wings spread open wide;

Dance and leap just as your heart desires,
my lovely doll!
It is time to witness wonders here,
come, come, come, come!
For the deer and the fish,
for the peacock and the cuckoo,
there are no barriers.
Through every day and passing hour,
wings spread open wide;
what worries could there be now?
White clouds shower flowers
all along my path,
and a soft breeze sings a lullaby
upon my stage.
In this kingdom where no one questions why,
who could ever challenge my song
in this life of mine?
Listen to the blessings
of the highest gods, my friend!
Even the greatest king of kings
falls right at my feet!

wings spread open wide;

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song is an upbeat, carefree celebration of freedom, joy, and nature's uninhibited beauty. Drawing parallels to wild creatures—such as deer, fish, peacocks, and cuckoos—the lyricist emphasizes that nature recognizes no boundaries or limitations, urging the heroine ('vanna paavai') to live and dance with the same unrestricted spirit.
