In the playful ways of beautiful love.
On this fertile earth, sweet arts flourish,
In the playful ways of beautiful love.
A queenly woman came into my life,
And stood like a flower among flowers.
A queenly woman came into my life,
And stood like a flower among flowers.
In those days, she was a monsoon bird,
Today, she has given her bond of love to me.
In those days, she was a monsoon bird,
Today, she has given her bond of love to me.
She is a new garden and a fresh rose herself,
A gentle breeze and a new song all on her own.
A gentle breeze and a new song all on her own.
On this fertile earth, sweet arts flourish,
In the playful ways of beautiful love.
Whichever land she visits, she is a graceful deer singing of culture,
A charming Tamil flower playing before my eyes.
Whichever land she visits, she is a graceful deer singing of culture,
A charming Tamil flower playing before my eyes.
Without knowing or understanding, she ran away,
I sang to turn her steps and change her path.
I sang to turn her steps and change her path.
On this fertile earth, sweet arts flourish,
In the playful ways of beautiful love.
With her, the night turns bright like day,
She is a beautiful moon that sings so gently.
With her, the night turns bright like day,
She is a beautiful moon that sings so gently.
Without knowing whether it is a thought or a dream,
I want to experience sweet joy in my life.
I want to experience sweet joy in my life.
On this fertile earth, sweet arts flourish,
In the playful ways of beautiful love.
