Munnaeru Vaalibaa Folk song Not copyrighted Lyrics:

Munnaeru vaalibaa munaeri endrum
Thoduvaan noakkuvaai
Kann theriyaatha Kaari rulil
Olirum vinmeenae
Thanimaiyaalae payantha naadugal
Irulil oli pera unnai naadum
Mael noakku vaaliba endrum munnaeri
Thoduvaan noakkuvaai thoduvaan noakkuvai

and the words can be roughly translated in English as thus:
Come forward youths! Let us progress!
Let us reach out for the sky.
You are the sparkling star that shines in the dark
Nations seek your guidance when in trouble.
So, aim high and progress in life. You will reach the skies ( reaching your goals )

Famous quotes containing the words songs and/or lyrics:

    “And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
    Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
    With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
    On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
    And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Chad and I always look for deeper meanings; we can analyze Beastie Boys lyrics for hours.”
    —Amy Stewart (b. 1975)
