I saw you Periyar in my dreams,
With your gentle, radiant beams.
Touching me with your waving motion,
Filling me with a strong devotion.
Giving me your loving warmth,
There's nothing more to lead me forth.
Tingling my heart with strong sensation,
I wish you were flowing through my nation.
Oh Periyar, I wish you will never go away,
Because this dream will be gone today.
I will always remember you in my heart,
Never to forget, I sure will not.
Oh Periyar, oh Periyar good bye for now,
I'll see you again, I give you my vow.
