Nadhiyoram veesum thendral malarodu pesumaa
Malaraatha pookkal indru adhai ketkka koodumaa
Nerodu….neeraadum naanalgal…… poraadum
Intha solai kuyilum isai paadi mayakkum
Nadhiyoram veesum thendral malarodu pesumaa
Malaraatha pookkal indru adhai ketkka koodumaa
Poonguruvi azhagaai reengaaram paadum
Thaenaruvi pudhithaai thaalangal podum
Bhoomikku naanam vanthaal rojakkal pooththaadum
Rojakkal naanam kondaal poongaattu veesum
Anthi vaanam sivakkum pudhu vaazhvum pirakkum
Nadhiyoram veesum thendral malarodu pesumaa
Malaraatha pookkal indru adhai ketkka koodumaa

Will the breeze blowing by the riverside speak to the flower?
Can the buds yet to bloom listen to it today?
Bathing in the water, the reeds sway and struggle...
The cuckoo in this garden enchants everyone with its song
Will the breeze blowing by the riverside speak to the flower?
Can the buds yet to bloom listen to it today?
The sweet little bird hums a lovely tune
The sweet stream creates a fresh rhythm
When the earth feels shy, roses bloom and dance
When the roses feel shy, a gentle fragrant breeze blows
The evening sky turns red, and a new life begins
Will the breeze blowing by the riverside speak to the flower?
Can the buds yet to bloom listen to it today?
Bathing in the water, the reeds sway and struggle...
The cuckoo in this garden enchants everyone with its song
Will the breeze blowing by the riverside speak to the flower?
Can the buds yet to bloom listen to it...
Just gazing at your beauty every day is enough
My heart will always live on because of you
My life belongs to you, and joy fills my soul
The divine presence living in my heart lights a lamp
I was born for you, carrying the flame of life within
Will the breeze blowing by the riverside speak to the flower?
Can the buds yet to bloom listen to it today?
Bathing in the water, the reeds sway and struggle...
The cuckoo in this garden enchants everyone with its song
Will the breeze blowing by the riverside speak to the flower?
Can the buds yet to bloom listen to it today?
