தாலாட்டு பாடும் தென்றல்
எச பாட்டு பாடும் குயில்கள்
கை தாளம் போடும் கிளிகள்
அதை கேட்டு ஆடும் மயில்கள்
கை தட்டி காடெல்லாம்
தோளோடு தோள் சேருவோம்
The gentle breeze sings a lullaby
The cuckoos sing folk songs
The parrots clap their hands to the rhythm
Listening to that, the peacocks dance
Clapping hands throughout the forest
We will stand shoulder to shoulder
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :
ஆடுவோம் ஆடுவோம்
பள்ளுதான் பாடுவோம்
ஆடுவோம் ஆடுவோம்
பள்ளுதான் பாடுவோம்

The fragrance of forest flowers
Will speak and extend their blessings
The cold wind blows and blows
It will caress and speak fondly to you
Along the path you travel
We will paint a rainbow
புள்ளி மானின் கூட்டங்களே
இந்த காட்டின் பிள்ளைகளே
துள்ளி தாவி ஓடுங்களேன்
பயம் இல்லை வாழுங்களேன்
காட்டு பூ வாசம் வாசம்
வாழ்த்து சொல்லி பேசும் பேசும்
ஊத காத்து வீசும் வீசும்
உன்னை கொஞ்சி பேசும் பேசும்
நீ போகும் பாதையிலே
ஒரு வானவில் தீட்டுவோம்.....
