every day, He lords over us

we saw Him again

all the days of our life

are yours

meendum nee uyirthu ezhugirai

running through our veins

your love runs like a flood

once again, you rise up with life

neeye nirainthaai manam virinthom aasai eesuve

You are become my bread

You are become my thoughts 

we felt it and forgot ourselves

You fulfilled us ,  our hearts expanded, Affectionate Jesus

un paatham sparishithom

unnil emmai karaikirom

Once again, we worship You

we touch Your feet 

we mix ourselves with You

The sky, earth, water and fire

You are all of these things

The wind that consoles 

Thou are this too

pooputhidatha?

Tears well up

in the corners of my heart

If I said Thy name,

won't it blossom? 

emai naalum aalum uruve

meendum kandom

vaazhum kaalam muzhuthum

unathe enbom

naalangal oode unathanbin pervellam

meendum nee uyirthu ezhugirai

poovin mele 

vannam nee thaane

verin keele 

eevan neethaane

On that there flower,

You are the color

and underneath its root

You are its soul
