Sirikka vechu..sirikka vechu
Siragadichu parakka vekka
Karuppu rasa vanthiruken munnalae…
Nenachivecha kavalaiyellam
Nimishathula odi poogum
Neruppu rasa ethira vandhu ninnalae…
Butterfly nee parandha
Pattamaram pookumae
Ambalainga nagakkannum
Annandhu pakkumae…
Indhiran chandhiran
Kaikkatti unnidam
Sevagam puriya vaikavaa..
Z-il thodangi a-vil mudiya
English-a maththava..
Sirikka vechu..sirikka vechu
Siragadichu parakka vekka
Karuppu rasa vanthiruken munnalae…
Kaagathoda nirathai konjam,
Meghathoda nirathai konjam
Kalandhu yeduthu vandhu
Kangalukku mai tharavaa..
Vaanathai nimithi vechu
Vaigai thanni nirappi vechu
Nee kulichu magizha oru
Neechal kolam amaechidavaa..

Nee nadakkum paathaiyellam
Natchathiram thelikkattumaa..
Unnai naan katti kolla
Enna thavam seitheno.
Mannu mel inbam ellam
Onna sendha neethaano..
Naanaga naan maari
Aada vaaren
Thalakaalu puriyaama
Thanthanathom poduven…
Sirikka vechu..sirikka vechu
Siragadichu parakka vekka
Karuppu rasa vanthiruken munnalae…
...
To make you laugh and smile,
To make your wings flutter and let you fly,
Your dark prince has arrived right before you...
All the worries you carried in your heart
Will vanish in a single moment,
When this fiery prince comes and stands before you...
If you, my butterfly, flutter around,
Even a dry, withered tree will burst into bloom!
Even the toenails of men
Will look up at you in sheer wonder...
The king of gods and the moon,
With folded hands before you,
Shall I make them serve at your command?
Starting from Z and ending with A,
Shall I rewrite the English alphabet for you?
To make you laugh and smile,
To make your wings flutter and let you fly,
Your dark prince has arrived right before you...
Taking a little black from the crow,
And a little dark shade from the rain clouds,
Blending them both together,
Shall I bring kohl eyeliner for your eyes?
Propping up the wide sky
And filling it with sweet water from the Vaigai river,
For you to bathe and enjoy,
Shall I create a swimming pool for you?
Resting your cheek in your hand,
You should never sit sadly like that!
Just like a colorful butterfly,
Come flutter and spin around with me...
I am only the paper kite,
And you are the wind that lifts me!
Oh my girl, just give the word,
And I will obey it right away...
To make you laugh and smile,
To make your wings flutter and let you fly,
Your dark prince has arrived right before you...
With divine sage Narada composing the tune,
And legendary poet Nakkeeran penning the lyrics,
Praising your breathtaking beauty,
Shall I sing a song in the background for you?
Gathering cool hailstones,
And building a grand palace for you,
Along every path that you walk,
Shall I sprinkle shining stars?
To hold you tightly in my arms,
What great prayers must I have performed?
Are you all the sweet pleasures of this earth
Gathered together into one?
Forgetting myself completely,
I come to dance with you!
Losing all sense of head and feet,
I will celebrate and stomp to the beat...
To make you laugh and smile,
To make your wings flutter and let you fly,
Your dark prince has arrived right before you...
