Onam, Thiru Onam, the festival of flowers
The festival of joy, and happiness
People of Kerala eager to celebrate Onam
The festival that sees people in unison.

Onam where ever the people of Kerala
There we celebrate the wonderful festival
In such glamour and pomp
Onam a national festival of friendship.

A memory of justice, peace and equality
The ruler have such great qualities
Mahabali the mythological emperor
Once ruled and loved the people of Kerala

But compelled to leave the scenery and crown
Went to the oblivion and supposed to come
In Thiruvonam days to see the subjects
We welcome the great king in such pride.
Onam Thiru onam the great festival of friendship.

Gangadharan nair Pulingat..
