'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)
