As spring comes singing,
As the Vaigai river flows,
As youth blossoms and sweetness comes searching,
Shall I offer my devotion?
Shall I swim in the stream?
As spring comes singing and the Vaigai river flows,
As youth blossoms and sweetness comes searching,
Shall I offer my devotion?
Shall I swim in the stream?
Ni sa ga sa ni pa ma ga ga
Pa pa, pa pa, pa pa
Thanna naana naana naana naana naananaa
Overflowing like sweet honey and pure sugar syrup,
the magic of your voice makes me sing like a cuckoo.
Hahaha hahaha
Like the Chidambaram secret (an ancient sacred mystery), your
wondrous song
gives birth to a new melody
every single day I listen to it.
In the flower's fragrance, the breeze itself blossomed—
Shall I say it? Isn't it all for me?
As spring comes singing and the Vaigai river flows,
As youth blossoms and sweetness comes searching,
Shall I offer my devotion?
Shall I swim in the stream?
With the fragrance of sacred chants in the air,
and youthful kohl-lined eyes glancing softly,
bringing on a sweet intoxication
is your music dripping with honey.
Hahaha, blending like the lute and the flute,
your voice stirs deep longing in me.
Even a god who wishes to taste divine nectar
would be spellbound by your sacred song.
Desires in the heart, melodies on the lips—
so sings the mind, as the heart yearns.
As spring comes singing and the Vaigai river flows,
As youth blossoms and sweetness comes searching,
Shall I offer my devotion?
Shall I swim in the stream?
Pa pa pa thananana pa pa pa
Pa pa pa tharururu pa pa pa
