A golden flower smiled here,
and her eyes shot another
wound—has the right time arrived?
A portrait of beauty with a slender waist came by,
making pure Tamil overflow,
offering rhythmic songs—did she compose a tune?
Moving gracefully with her hands and feet,
with lightning playing in both her eyes,
she is a dancing doll,
a novelty unseen anywhere else!
The sound of ankle bells,
ringing every single day,
is a flood of pure joy
filling the happy heart!

In the forest, trapped inside a cage,
did the cuckoo that sang sad songs finally leave its nest?
Between the earth and the sky,
did it fly and sing as far as the eye can see?
"From now on, the whole world is mine,"
says my wandering heart.
This is a season when happiness blossoms,
and all of nature is so beautiful!
The sound of ankle bells,
ringing every single day,
is a flood of pure joy
filling the happy heart!

When clouds descended to the earth
and showered down their rain,
did the flowers blossom?
As mist and gentle drizzle sprayed around,
did the body thrill and shiver at the dew drops?
In the past, day and night were filled with loneliness,
but from now on, all of youth is filled with sweetness.
Worries will walk away from the heart,
and from now on, the eyes will write poetry.
The sound of ankle bells,
ringing every single day,
is a flood of pure joy
filling the happy heart!
