Therkkae pirandha kili
Sekka chivandha kili
Dhikku dhisai maari pocho
Pakkam irundha kili
Oaattu padicha kili
Thannam thani endru aacho
Therkkae pirandha kili
Sekka chivandha kili
Dhikku dhisai maari pocho
Pakkam irundha kili
Oaattu padicha kili
Thannam thani endru aacho
Ingu veesi varum thendral kaatrae
Engal paatteduthu sellu kaatrae
Engal paatteduthu sendru neeyum
Andha paingilikku sollu kaatrae
Therkkae pirandha kili
Sekka chivandha kili
Dhikku dhisai maari pocho
Pakkam irundha kili
Oaattu padicha kili
Thannam thani endru aacho
Oor ooraaga payanam purindhomae
Ondraaga pazhagi kidandhomae
Kai korthu pala naal nadandhomae hoi
Sangeetha mazhaiyai pozhindhomae
Sandhosha kadalil midhandhomae
Anbennum kavidhai punaindhomae haa
Idaiyil pugundhu thiraiyai virithaan yaaradi
Irukkum idathai isaiyaal vilakki kooradi
Naangal kondu vandha chinna poovae
Naangal thangugindra mullai theevae
Unnai kandu kolla indha paattu
Undhan pon mugathai ingu kaattu
Therkkae pirandha kili
Sekka chivandha kili
Dhikku dhisai maari pocho
Pakkam irundha kili
Oaattu padicha kili
Thannam thani endru aacho
Themmaangu padippom isai pottu
Thenpaandi kuyil thaan idhai kaettu
Sollaadho namakkor edhir paattu haan
Kanneerin vilakkam theriyaadho
Undaana kalakkam puriyaadho
Kondaadum varutham ariyaadho
Nedu naal uravu
Oru naal pirivai thaangumaa
Vizhi thaan imaiyai
Vazhi thaan thavari neengumaa
Naama nittham nitham sollum paattu
Pala nenjam adhai allum paattu
Adi pennarasi neeyum kaettu
Undhan vanna mugam ingu kaattu
Therkkae pirandha kili
Sekka chivandha kili
Dhikku dhisai maari pocho
Pakkam irundha kili
Oaattu padicha kili
Thannam thani endru aacho
Ingu veesi varum thendral kaatrae
Engal paatteduthu sellu kaatrae
Engal paatteduthu sendru neeyum
Andha paingilikku sollu kaatrae
Therkkae pirandha kili
Sekka chivandha kili
Dhikku dhisai maari pocho
Pakkam irundha kili
Oaattu padicha kili
Thannam thani endru aacho
The parrot born in the south,
The bright rosy parrot,
Has she lost her way and wandered off?
The parrot that was right beside us,
The parrot trained to sing our songs,
Has she ended up all alone?
The parrot born in the south,
The bright rosy parrot,
Has she lost her way and wandered off?
The parrot that was right beside us,
The parrot trained to sing our songs,
Has she ended up all alone?
O gentle breeze blowing here,
Carry our song along with you, O breeze!
Carry our song with you,
And sing it to that sweet parrot, O breeze!
The parrot born in the south,
The bright rosy parrot,
Has she lost her way and wandered off?
The parrot that was right beside us,
The parrot trained to sing our songs,
Has she ended up all alone?
We traveled together from town to town,
We lived closely together as one,
Holding hands, we walked for many days, hoy!
We showered down rains of sweet music,
We drifted across an ocean of joy,
We composed poems of true love, ha!
Who stepped between us and drew a curtain, tell me?
Tell us where you are through your music!
O little flower we brought along,
O jasmine island where we find shelter,
Here is a song to search for you,
Show your golden face to us!
The parrot born in the south,
The bright rosy parrot,
Has she lost her way and wandered off?
The parrot that was right beside us,
The parrot trained to sing our songs,
Has she ended up all alone?
We will set a tune and sing a folk melody,
Hearing this, won't the southern cuckoo
Sing a song in reply to us?
Doesn't she know the meaning of these tears?
Doesn't she understand this deep distress?
Doesn't she realize the sorrow we bear?
A bond built over so many days—
Can it bear even a day of separation?
Will an eye ever lose its way
And part from its own eyelid?
The song we sing day after day,
The song that captures so many hearts,
Listen to it, our lovely queen,
And show your radiant face to us!
The parrot born in the south,
The bright rosy parrot,
Has she lost her way and wandered off?
The parrot that was right beside us,
The parrot trained to sing our songs,
Has she ended up all alone?
O gentle breeze blowing here,
Carry our song along with you, O breeze!
Carry our song with you,
And sing it to that sweet parrot, O breeze!
The parrot born in the south,
The bright rosy parrot,
Has she lost her way and wandered off?
The parrot that was right beside us,
The parrot trained to sing our songs,
Has she ended up all alone?
