| Much adored face is forgotten Such pains is daily begotten World with million splendors Lord, some still ponders Let us sing, dance joyous freedom Get all serve those in martyrdom Sky falls, never we terrified Dry minds wet and glorified Forest burns down to dust Dearest kin come in vast Floods rising tides open gates Deeds take you in eight currents Crows remind cloud hued Krishna Vows to see helping hands rising Dance Kummi, beat the measure Lance blackout, win the unsure Harming others, selfish desire Humming creed, rise to spire Fill time at the ocean heights Will seeing you come to delights Knowing you well I surrender Beaconing goals keeping farther Dreamed in bleary moonlight, my friend Surfing, a sky harbour to descend Lurking for your love in breezy meadow Hearing you speak Thamizh, rivers flow Speck on the cheeks ever abiding Deck I stand, find simple drop surfing |
