I have grown wings,
O sky!
I am going to break free from my cage!
From now on, I will fly to every island of clouds!
I will swim in the evening breeze,
all on my own!
I will talk to the mountains,
and lean on the shoulders of the horizon!
I will dress up like a boy,
I will dance with unbound joy,
I will sing the song of the earth,
I will run through the pale white dawn,
I will break the rules of the road,
I will become a fish in the swimming pool...
A happiness never seen before,
I have found right here!
Here is my own land, right here!
A music never heard before,
I have heard right here!
Here is my song, right here!
An excitement never felt before,
I have felt today!
Heaven is right here, right here!
Chorus: O flower, O flower!
Even as I reach for the sky,
I stand in the water,
here is what I was searching for!
Unseen sights catch my eyes,
and my whole heart thrills with joy, hey!
Female: Honey drops into my heart,
from now on, everything is pure sweetness!
Endless joy and thrill,
like an electric Courtallam (famous Tamil Nadu waterfalls),
every day is a festival, a festival!
Instead of looking at the sky,
I see the stars right here on the earth!
Where is the moon? It is everywhere!
Come on, girl, come on!
Endless joy and thrill,
like an electric Courtallam (famous Tamil Nadu waterfalls),
every day is a festival, a festival!
Instead of looking at the sky,
I see the stars right here on the earth!
Where is the moon? It is everywhere!
