Poonthendralae vilaiyaadu

Gentle flower-breeze, come and play
Mingle warmly at my doorstep
The whole sky is our home
Close your eyes upon my shoulder
Gentle flower-breeze, come and play
Mingle warmly at my doorstep
The whole sky is our home
Close your eyes upon my shoulder
The cool breeze sings a lullaby
The cuckoo's song showers like flowers
Our hearts have become one
Our home is immersed in love
A thousand lamps shine in our eyes
Celebrate every single day
Gentle flower-breeze, come and play
Mingle warmly at my doorstep
The whole sky is our home
Close your eyes upon my shoulder
Why has the rushing flood of the Ganga
Surged here inside my heart?
Why have countless joys
Come and made their home with us every day?
How have all the fallen flowers
Turned into a beautiful garland here?
Why have all our sorrows
Fled far away, leaving us behind?
A loving heart is life's sacred scripture
A home full of love is its temple
Upon this earth, the sky and breeze sing
Gentle flower-breeze, come and play
Mingle warmly at my doorstep
The whole sky is our home
Close your eyes upon my shoulder
Gentle flower-breeze, come and play
Mingle warmly at my doorstep
The whole sky is our home
Close your eyes upon my shoulder
You plucked me like a blossom
Why did you forget to hold me to your heart?
Male: Even though it was locked tight,
You still slipped into my heart!
Blushing with shy modesty,
You made this young girl smile all by herself!
Male: Keeping the moon far away,
You made my night burn with longing!
The bond you gave me lives deep within my heart
Male: The honey-seeking bee will not sleep tonight
Female: Gather this womanhood into your arms,
It belongs entirely to you
Gentle flower-breeze, come and play
Mingle warmly at my doorstep
The whole sky is our home
Close your eyes upon my shoulder
Gentle flower-breeze, come and play
Mingle warmly at my doorstep
The whole sky is our home
Close your eyes upon my shoulder
Ah, the cool breeze sings a lullaby
The cuckoo's song showers like flowers
Our hearts have become one
Our home is immersed in love
A thousand lamps shine in our eyes
Celebrate every single day
Gentle flower-breeze, come and play
Mingle warmly at my doorstep
The whole sky is our home
Close your eyes upon my shoulder
