SONG LYRICS / THE SAMBHARAM SONG

Every passing year is getting hotter
I'm keeping cool with The Covenant of Water
There's a recipe in a line from Chapter 79,
A summer drink for Elsie's daughter

Samharam Sambharam Mor Vellam
Samharam Sambharam Mor Vellam
In the blazing summer heat its always welcome
Samharam Sambharam Mor Vellam

Ginger and chilli, salt, curry leaves
With yoghurt and water make magic, one believes
You can blend it in a mixer or mix it by hand
This ancient summer drink from our magical land
Tempting variations on this basic theme
Cilantro, cumin, mint, shallots, lemon, heeng

You can call it Majjige, or maybe Neer Mor
Know it as Chhaas, but you will always want more

Samharam Sambharam Mor Vellam
Samharam Sambharam Mor Vellam
No Sadya without it, Vishu or Onam
Samharam Sambharam Mor Vellam

Samharam Sambharam Mor Vellam
Samharam Sambharam Mor Vellam
Easy to make it, with a song you can hum
Samharam Sambharam Mor Vellam
