Ente Priyathamanu’s Vasanthakala Pakshi Lyrics Translation
The request grows to include all emotional states, welcoming the bird’s presence in happiness and sadness. It is invited to come “like a joy that is budding, like a sorrow that’s in bloom.” The lyrics also ask the bird to sing sweetly within the “heart’s celestial trees” for solace.

Vasanthakala Pakshi Vasanthakala PakshiO, bird of spring, bird of spring

The song is a consistent invitation for a comforting companion, whether real or symbolic. Comparisons to a shady tree and a soft breeze build a complete picture of gentleness. This creates a focused call for an external source of internal peace and harmony.
