வானில் பூக்கும் வண பூக்களோ
உந்தன் கண் கேட்குதே
மன்ன மீது நீந்தும் பல வின் மீன்கள்
உன் சின்ன விரல் கேட்குதே
உந்தன் காதோரம் நான் பாடும் பா கேட்குதா
நெஞ்சோடு மூச்சாகி விளையாடுதா
கனவில் கதை கூற
உயிரின் உயிராய் மாற
ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்
ம்ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம்
Are they white flowers blooming in the sky?
Your eyes are asking for them.
Swimming upon the earth,

your little fingers are asking for them.
Can you hear the song I sing by your ear?
Is it playing in your heart as your breath?
To weave stories in dreams,
To become the life of my life,
Hmm mm mm mm mmmm
Mmm mmm
