Song Lyrics Analysis

With flowers, with Thumba flowers,

drawing floral carpets for Lord Maveli,

Thiruvonam has arrived at last.

With flowers, with Thumba flowers,

drawing floral carpets for Lord Maveli,

Thiruvonam has arrived in playful joy!

Running and singing, I dream,

dancing and roaming anew,

with fluttering dragonflies, the whole mind

turns into moonlight,

into a night of celebration,

as the entire sky becomes

an overflowing vessel of joy.

Flourish, flourish, let flowers bloom!

Savor the essence of this golden Onam,

here comes the vibrant Onam feast!

Flourish, flourish, let flowers bloom!

Savor the essence of this golden Onam,

here comes the vibrant Onam feast.

In King Maveli's

land, cheer fills these shores,

with joyful songs,

cuckoos awaken and tiger dancers leap,

arriving in vibrant guises and rhythm.

Rowed with spirited vigor, snake boats

race across the river,

with waves dancing to the beat—

such is the splendor of ten days of Onam!

Flourish, flourish, let flowers bloom!

Savor the essence of this golden Onam,

here comes the vibrant Onam feast!

Flourish, flourish, let flowers bloom!

Savor the essence of this golden Onam,

here comes the vibrant Onam feast.

With a flower, with a thumbai flower.
