Vellai pookal ulagam engum malargave
Piniyum bhoomi amaidhikkaaga inaigave
Manmael manjal velichcham vizhugave
Malare sombal muritthu ezhugave

Kuzhandhai vizhikkattume, thaayin kadhakadhappil
Ulagam vidiyattume, pillayin sirumudhal sirippil

Kaattrin paer isayum, mazhai paadum paadalgalum
Oru mounam oru inbam tharumo
Kodi keerthanamum , kavi kortha vaarthaigalum
Thuli kanneer pol arttham tharumo

Engu sirukuzhandhai, than kaigal neetidumo
Angu thondrayo, kollai nilave
Ayangu manithainam, por oindhu saindhidumo
Angu koovadho, vellai kuyile

Vellai pookal ulagam engum malargave
Piniyum bhoomi amaidhikkaaga inaigave



White flowers bloom all around
As a war wrecked world quietens for peace
Yellow light falls on the sand
As flowers wake, stretching their leaves wide

Let the child awake
In the warmth of its mother
Let it dawn
With the first laugh of the child

The sound of the wind's words, songs of the rain
Will it bring, a moment of silence, a moment of joy
A thousand prayers, words strung by a poet,
Would it bring the meaning amounting to a tear?

Where do you go child, stretching your hands
Reaching out for the distant moon
Where are the people, have they finally rested
Will not the dove .. coo over them.

White flowers bloom all around...
As a war wrecked world quietens for peace..
