Mangalam aayini vaazhum
Tune: ‘Vandanam vandanam naadhaa’
Mangala-maayini vaazhum nammal ellaarum
- Ingu shaapam niranja bhoo-neengi puthuthaayidum
- Ivvishaanu kkalakannu - vaanam shudhamaayidum
- Kannu neerum muravili-thellum illaathaamini
- Jeeva jala nadiyannaal odum punya bhoomiyil
- Jeeva vruksha mavidennum-kaayichidum pushtiyaay
- Aayathin tha naliliru-nnaashwasikkaam vatsare!
- Ennumennum nrupanmaaraay vaazhum nammal bhoomiyil
- Ningalodu koodiyenne kaanum njaanen valssare
- Kaanumenne ningalumaa-shaalem raajadhaaniyil
- Ningalude ponnu-mukham chumbikkum njaanaasthale
- Poothigandham nirayumee deham thakarnneedume
- Puthanaakum shareerathe datham cheyyum naayakan
Meaning:
One day, we will all live in perfect blessing and joy.
- This earth, now filled with the curse of sin,
will pass away and be made new.
- These present troubles and afflictions will disappear,
and the heavens will be made pure.
- There will be no more tears,
no crying, and no sorrow.
- On that day,
the river of the water of life will flow
through the holy land.
- The Tree of Life will always flourish there,
bearing abundant fruit.
- We will sit in its shade
and rest in comfort and peace.
- We will live as kings forever,
reigning in the presence of God.
- My dear ones, I will see myself there
together with you.
- And you will see me too,
in that heavenly capital, the New Jerusalem.
- There I will embrace and kiss
your precious faces.
- This body, now filled with decay,
will be destroyed.
- And our Lord will give us
a new and glorified body.
