A home bathed in silver moonlight,
Dance and sing in unending love,
To the music of classical Tamil,
A cozy nest of tea where family dances.
A beautiful bond like this
Is where true joy always lives.
Without letting dreams fade away,
Holding hands together brings pure bliss.
Look how many colors there are,
As revealed by the rainbow.
When all the gods come together
To shower their sacred blessings,
Heaven is found right here in return,
And true comfort unfolds.
A home bathed in silver moonlight,
Dance and sing in unending love,
To the music of classical Tamil,
A cozy nest of tea where family dances.
Where the wind blows,
Relationships are not mere trees;
They are poems that show
The beauty of living together.
The moment a lamp is lit,
Good memories arise,
Turning into a warm flame,
Sweet moments that awaken the soul.
Even if shattering lightning strikes down,
Love extends a helping hand.
Even in an open field, as a bud blooms,
Spring blossoms in the eyes.
Look how many colors there are,
As revealed by the rainbow.
When all the gods come together
To shower their sacred blessings,
Heaven is found right here in return,
And true comfort unfolds.
A home bathed in silver moonlight,
Dance and sing in unending love,
To the music of classical Tamil,
A cozy nest of tea where family dances.
