Paroles et traduction P. Susheela - Omana Thinkal Pakshi

Omana Thinkal Pakshi

Omanathinkal paskhi neela thamara Kulathile
Thinkal pakshi Pettoru pathira muthinu perenthu.
Ilam thennal urangumbol Ilakingini kudilil Thoovella pudava
Chutti Thulasi poompadavil Urangatha mizhikalumayi Upavasikkuvatharo.
Thalolam mani paithal Kal thorum valaran Ayiram paurnnamikal
Ayussil vidaran Thalikayil kalabhavumayi Thapassirikkuvatharo
(Omana thinkal...)

Omana Thinkal Pakshi

O my heavenly bird, with blue lotus on your crown,
You are the songbird, with emerald wings and a ruby beak.
When the gentle breeze blows, you nest in the jasmine bower,
Your iridescent feathers shimmer as you pray in the temple of Tulasi.
With each passing day, your pearl necklace grows longer,
And countless full moons mark the years of your pious devotion.
(O my heavenly bird...)
