Welcome to Kerala-Song

 Welcome to Kerala

When you walk amid the green,

Where swaying palms and leaves are seen,

You are in Kerala,

God’s own country.

 

When you see waters flow and gleam,

Through rivers, lakes, and every stream,

You are in Kerala,

God’s own country.

 

When you see names signed with pride,

And newspapers read far and wide,

You are in Kerala,

God’s own country.

 

When you see people rise as one,

For justice, rights, till justice is won,

You are in Kerala,

God’s own country.

 

When you see wealth and money pour,

From distant shores to every door,

You are in Kerala,

God’s own country.

 

When you hear a melody so sweet,

A voice that makes your heart skip a beat,

You are in Kerala,

God’s own country.

 

When you see a woman, graceful and fair,

With a gentle smile and flowing hair,

You are in Kerala,

God’s own country.

 

When you hear an Arab speak Malayalam,

Savouring Sadhya, calm and glam,

You are in the UAE—

Welcome to Mini Kerala,

God’s own country.

 

When you hear a Malayali uncle say,

"Habibi," in his own warm way,

You’ve found an NRI, earning in Dirhams—

Welcome to Kerala,

God’s own country.

 

When you see a state struck by flood and rain,

Yet hearts unbroken through the pain,

You are in a land of grit and love—

That’s Kerala for you,

God’s own country.
