Every day, in fresh Tamil music,
I sing of you.
Like rain falling to thrill the heart,
I dance like a flowering vine.
Today, a thousand lamps in my heart,
I light as well.
Like a cloud in the sky of bliss,
I too float along.
Every day I pray for a good life,
In the temple of my heart, I worship you.
Every day, in fresh Tamil music,
I sing of you.
Like rain falling to thrill the heart,
I dance like a flowering vine.
Flowing swiftly like a river...
Adorned with flowers of fame...
I seek the boon to do good deeds.
For a thousand ages... my name shall live on...
You must grant me your grace.
In ragas and in music's sacred lore,
So that I may gain fine wisdom,
At your feet, singing your sacred names,
My heart sings every day.
Here, may womanhood, the gentle gender,
Rise up high, O Lord, I pray.
Every day I pray for a good life,
In the temple of my heart, I worship you.
Every day, in fresh Tamil music,
I sing of you.
Like rain falling to thrill the heart,
I dance like a flowering vine.
...
May wisdom along with love... peace and noble character...
Prevail across the world today.
Free from cruelty, possessing a virtuous nature...
May you flourish like a bountiful rain cloud!
Deep affection and lofty love,
You shall sow in the hearts of many.
The nation, this entire nation,
You shall fill with the wealth of education.
Noble values and righteousness,
Honor and valor—may you make them flourish!
Every day I pray for a good life,
In the temple of my heart, I worship you.
Every day, in fresh Tamil music,
I sing of you.
Like rain falling to thrill the heart,
I dance like a flowering vine.
Today, I too light a thousand lamps within my heart.
I too float like a cloud in the sky of bliss.
Every day I pray for a good life,
In the temple of my heart, I worship you.
