Thendral kaatrae ondraai povomaa
Thullum vellam endrae aavomaa
Pullinangal paatteduthu paadura naeram
Pon aruvi kaaleduthu odura naeram
Naam iruvar kai anaithu
Oorvalammaai poi varalaamaa
Ingu poothirukkum pookkalidam
Vaazhthukkalai vaangidalaamaa
Thendral kaatrae ondraai povomaa
Thullum vellam endrae aavomaa
Sullunu veyil yaerudhu
Aamaandi anna kili
Sillunnu kaatha thaedudhu
Aamaandi chella kili
Summaadi sulli pookkudhu
Aamaandi ponnu mani
Sumai thaangi nammai paadudhu
Aamaandi thanga mani
Ooru thuli neerum kodukkum
Kaadu nammai thaai pol anaikkum

Thola pottaakkaa poongaathu kudiyaerum

En kaadhara thaan adha naan kekkuren

Gentle breeze, shall we go together?
Shall we become a leaping stream?
It is the hour when birds begin their song,
It is the hour when the golden waterfall starts to run.
Holding each other by the hand,
Shall we stroll together in a joyful procession?
From the flowers blooming here,
Shall we receive their blessings?
Gentle breeze, shall we go together?
Shall we become a leaping stream?
The sun blazes down sharply,
Yes, my dear parrot,
Longing for a cool breeze,
Yes, my darling parrot,
Just like that, dry twigs start to flower,
Yes, my precious jewel,
The resting stone sings for us,
Yes, my golden jewel.
The spring gives us fresh drops of water,
The forest embraces us like a mother.
Carrying water across the sky,
O clouds above,
Am I not your friend?
Flying low near the ground,
O little dragonflies,
Am I not your brother?
Upon the bamboo stalks,
O woodpeckers,
Why do you peck all day with the tip of your beak?
If you make a hole, the gentle breeze moves right in,
And that sound turns into a sweet song of honey.
I listen to it with pure delight,
Learning those melodies by heart,
I will sing them under the milky moonlight.
Gentle breeze, shall we go together?
Shall we become a leaping stream?
Wanting no company
With caste-minded crowds,
I spent my days with the wind.
Watching people fight
Over temples and holy tanks,
I kept my distance from them.
The divisions found in the towns
Do not exist in this forest, my friend!
The leopard, the tiger, and the lion—
Tell me, what religion do they have?
There are no fights or insults here,
Where is there a place better than this?
No troubles here, no pointless arguments;
Like the sun and the moon,
I will wander freely here.
Gentle breeze, shall we go together?
Shall we become a leaping stream?
It is the hour when birds begin their song,
It is the hour when the golden waterfall starts to run.
Holding each other by the hand,
Shall we stroll together in a joyful procession?
From the flowers blooming here,
Shall we receive their blessings?
Gentle breeze, shall we go together?
Shall we become a leaping stream?
