Let the white flowers blossom everywhere in the world

Let the dawning world dawn for peace

Let the yellow light fall above the earth

Let the flowers rise getting rid of the laziness

Let the child open hir eyes in mother's warmth

Let the world awake in the first cute smile of the child

Kaatrin Pechayum Mazhai Paadum Paadangalum
Oru Mounam Pol Inbam Tharumo
Kodi Keerthanamum Kavi Kortha Vaarthaigalum

Thuli Kanneer Pol Artham Tharumo

Can the words of wind and the lectures of rain

Give happiness like a silence?

Can crores of songs and the words meshed by a poet 

Give meaning like a drop of tear?

Yengu Širu Kuzhanthai Than Kaigal neetidumo
Angu Thøndraayø Køllai Nilavae
Yengu Manitha Inam Pør Oyinthu Šaayinthudumø
Angu Køøvaayø Vellai Kuyilae

Plundering moon, won't you appear there,

Where the small child points hir hands ?

White Cuckoo, won't you sing(coo) there

Where the human race leans giving up the war ?

Vellai Pøøkkal Ulagam Èngum Malaravae

Vellai Pøøkkal Ulagam Èngum Malaravae
Vidiyum Bøømi Amaithikaaga Vidigavae

Let the white flowers blossom everywhere in the world

Let the dawning world dawn for peace

Let the yellow light fall above the earth

Let the flowers rise getting rid of the laziness

Let the child open hir eyes in mother's warmth

Let the world awake in the first ever cute smile of the child
