'In the windy plains, O! Kannamma!'

In the windy plains, O! Kannamma

I rejoice in thy loveful thoughts

Lips of springs of nectar

Moonlight drips brimming eyes

Body shaped of pure golden hue

Till I last in this world vast

Make me forget everything else

Changing me into a celestial

You are my sweet soul O Kannamma!

I will adore thee for ever and ever

Sorrows gone and gone are the miseries

The moment you are held as gold

Pure nectar bristles in my mouth

When I utter your name Kannamma

In the fire of my soul you are the rising flame

You are my thought you are my mind aflame.

(Translation of Bharathi's song)
