Chorus: ...
Look, the cardamom hill breeze is blowing,
Welcoming the sun, the young crops sway and dance!
As the leaping river keeps the beat,
A joyful folk song rises in my heart!
Look, the cardamom hill breeze is blowing...
...
Everyone on this earth is one,
Caste and religion are just words on paper.
From soul to soul, the breath of life is the same.
Love alone is truly God,
Shiva, Allah, and the Lord are all one.
Who ever found division in sacred scriptures?
Look, the cardamom hill breeze is blowing,
Welcoming the sun, the young crops sway and dance!
Laali, auspicious laali,
Laali, auspicious laali!
There is wisdom across the vast sky.
Is it enough to just seek temple towers
And offer our worship?
The humble huts here
Must also find a prosperous life!
If you sow love,
Love alone will blossom,
And true happiness will always fill our days.
Loving each other is truly divine!
Look, the cardamom hill breeze is blowing,
Welcoming the sun, the young crops sway and dance!
As the leaping river keeps the beat,
A joyful folk song rises in my heart!
