...
She came down from the sky onto the earth,
An angel who sings sweet music.
Showered by the gods from the clouds,
A joyful shower of flowers.
Floating, floating, now there is pure bliss and joy,
Flying, flying away goes all that sorrow.
My heart overflows with love,
And that heart takes refuge in you.
Thaiyaarae thaiyaarae thaiyaarae,
Arararae... thaiyaarae thaiyaarae.
She came down from the sky onto the earth,
An angel who sings sweet music.
Showered by the gods from the clouds,
A joyful shower of flowers.
...
As the gentle breeze speaks your name,
The moon searches for you.
Seeking the honey dripping from red lips,
The honeybee yearns for it.
Like lightning turned into a garland,
Coming to rest upon your shoulders,
Like the spread feathers of a colorful peacock,
It dances right before me.
All the days that are yet to arrive,
We can sing that they are golden days.
Male: O little flower, the melody my heart sings,
You yourself must come, my goddess.
She came down from the sky onto the earth,
An angel who sings sweet music.
Showered by the gods from the clouds,
A joyful shower of flowers.
Floating, floating, now there is pure bliss and joy,
Flying, flying away goes all that sorrow.
Female: My heart overflows with love,
And that heart takes refuge in you.
Thaiyaarae thaiyaarae thaiyaarae,
Arararae... thaiyaarae thaiyaarae.
...
Lighting a lamp within my heart,
O flowering vine who resides in my temple,
To wear the lovely wedding garland,
O sweet fruit who arrived on a chariot.
The flowers of tears are gone,
The flowers of rosewater are singing.
My heart has become vast like the sky,
The days of true life have arrived.
In the morning, evening, and twilight,
Love and devotion are the divine song.
Female: O festive day, at this moment seeking bliss,
You yourself must come, my lord.
She came down from the sky onto the earth,
An angel who sings sweet music.
Showered by the gods from the clouds,
A joyful shower of flowers.
Floating, floating, now there is pure bliss and joy,
Flying, flying away goes all that sorrow.
Male: My heart overflows with love,
And that heart takes refuge in you.
Female: Thaiyaarae thaiyaarae thaiyaarae,
Arararae... thaiyaarae thaiyaarae.
She came down from the sky onto the earth,
An angel who sings sweet music.
Female: Showered by the gods from the clouds,
A joyful shower of flowers.
