Vittu Viduthalaiyagi Nitpay Intha Sittukuruviyai Pole ♫ Song by Subramaniya Bharathiyaar
♫
A Translation of this song:
♫
Set free and stand
like this sparrow
Set free and stand
like this sparrow
Flying all eight directions
Leaping in flurry in flow with breeze
Spanning the infinite skylight
Sipping lusciously that is booze
Set free and stand
like this sparrow
Set free and stand
like this sparrow
Courtyards and meadow lands therein
Feast the multi-grains pecked earlier
All other times tales to tell, slumber and
Tweet to awaken before crack of dawn
Set free and stand
like this sparrow
Set free and stand
like this sparrow ♫
(Translated by K. Thirukumaran)
