I asked for a refuge isolated from the world, I asked for a world without wars,
I asked for passion in my blood, I asked for a soul without secrets,
I asked for a relationship that doesn't demand your life, I asked for a single tear drop by itself,
I asked for words that don't inflict pain, I asked for behavior appropriate to age,
I asked for a sky without any thunder, I asked for an obsession that doesn't wreck youth,
With all my heart I asked for care, I asked for a love without hesitations,
I asked to lie atop a blade of grass, I asked to lie in the lap of a flower,
I asked for eyelids that shut and slept easily, I asked for a finger that bows a head,
I asked for shoulders drenched in the moon's rain, I asked for the song of a wren,
To walk, I asked for a riverside, To roll in, I asked for grass,
To sleep with, I asked for the moon, To pick as flowers, I asked for the stars,
I asked for a deep dreamless sleep, I asked for a dream which forgot life,
I asked for one daytime for the entire world, I asked for a long life for every flower,
I asked for all man to have one heart, I asked for all birds to speak one tongue,
I asked for an equal rain for all the earth, I asked for one river for the entire village,
I asked for a moon that blocked all the sky, Even while living, I asked for heaven,
I asked for all intentions to be kindly, I asked for a fiery poem inside of me,
I asked for a truth that surpasses all tears, I asked for a luck that surpasses all evil,
I asked for the freedom of the wind, I asked for the canary's wings,
I asked for rain atop my head, I asked for a river underfoot,
I asked for a song inside my pocket, I asked for the sky that belongs to the birds,
I asked for a friendship that doesn't destroy gratitude,

I asked for a wealth that doesn't make you tremble,
I asked, for one day, to smell a flower, I asked to enjoy the music of the rain,
I asked to bathe in the moon, in the river, I asked for smells to be vibrant in my dreams,
If I fell, I asked to remain falled forever, If I cried, I asked to cry forever,
I asked for the celestial sky to live with me, I asked for lips that are always laughing,
I asked for a sun that's like a dew-drop, I asked for a dew-drop that's like a sun,
I asked for the valor of the king of kings, I asked for the poetry of the great poet,
I asked for the morals of Bharathiyar's fables, I asked for Parthipan's bravery,
I asked for the strength of Maya Kannan,

I asked for Madurai Meenakshi's blessing,
I asked for food truly earned, I asked for a love that I can touch,
I asked for the rain's independence, I asked for the clarity of the grass,
I asked for the hurricanes strength, I asked for a shoulder that can bear blows,
I asked for a heart that can bear twists, I asked for a resilience that can bear betrayal,
I asked for an unending patience, I asked for a heart that listens to what it's told,
I asked for a anger that dies when it's told, I asked for eyes that look beyond the arms,
I asked for legs that walk all your life, I asked for small small defeats,
I asked for wounds that quickly healed,

I asked for faces without masks, I asked for a smile without a secret,
As a newborn, I asked for milk, As a toddler, I asked for dolls,
At the age of five, I asked for books, As a sixth finger, I asked for a pen,
Not wanting money, I asked for care, Not wanting a pillow, I asked for a mother's lap,
I asked to live like a bird, I asked for the least amount of love,
I asked for all these, and yet I got none, None of these things ever happened,
And so I don't want life, And death, death, I ask for death ... !
