Vellai pookal ulagam engum malarhavae
vidiyum bhoomi amaidhikaaga vidihavae
manmel manjal veluchcham vizhuhavae
malarae sombal muRiththu ezhuhavae
kuzhanthai vizhikattumae
Thaayin katha kathappil
ulagam vidiyattumae
piLLayin sirumugha sirippil (Vellai)

[Let the white flowers blossom across the world

Let the new day dawn for peace

Let the yellow sunrays fall on the earth

Let the flowers wake up from their slumber..

Let the child wake up to the warmth of its mother

Let the world wake up to the smile of the child]

kaatrin perisaiyil
mazhai paadum paadalgalum oru maunam poal inbam tarumoooo
koadi keertanamum kavi koartha vaarthaiygalum thuLi kanner poal arththam tharumo (Vellai)

yengusiru kuzhanthai than kaigal neetidumo
angu thondrayo koLLai nilavae
enghu manidha Inam poar oyinthu sayinthidumo
angu koovadho veLLai kuyilae (Vellai) 

[Will the rain singing to the tunes of a breeze match the joy of silence.

Will a thousand keethanams (praising to the lord), or lyrics of a poet give the meaning of a tear.

Won't a beautiful moon appear in the direction where the child reaches out its arms

Won't the white cuckoo sing where the human race joins together in peace..]
