பாடல்ஆசிரியர் :
விக்னேஷ் சிவன்
Even the rain refused
To touch me and pass by
Even the flowers refused
To brush against me
மழையும் கூட மறுத்ததே எனை தொட்டு போக
மலர்கள் கூட மறுத்ததே என் மேல் பட்டு போக
Will everything change starting today?
Tell me, will good things shower down?
Will everything change starting today?
It hurt deeply within
இன்றோடு எல்லாம் மாறிடுமோ
நல்லவை தூறிடுமோ சொல்
இன்றோடு எல்லாம் மாறிடுமோ
வலித்ததே உள்ளே
I feel like crying, yet laughter joins in
I feel like crying, yet laughter joins in
I feel like crying, yet laughter joins in
The shore is shifting, oh girl, because of you...
அழ தோணுதே சிரிப்பும் சேருதே ..
அழ தோணுதே சிரிப்பும் சேருதே ..
அழ தோணுதே சிரிப்பும் சேருதே ..
கரை மாறுதே அடி உன்னாலே….
Hmm mm even the rain refused
To touch me and pass by
Even the flowers refused
To brush against me
Haa..aaa.aaa.aa….(2)
மழையும் கூட மறுத்ததே எனை தொட்டு போக
மலர்கள் கூட மறுத்ததே என் மேல் பட்டு போக
Mazhaiyum kooda maruthadhae
Even the rain refused
Enai thottu poga
To touch me and pass by
Malargal kooda maruthadhe
Even the flowers refused
En mel pattu poga
To brush against me
Indrodu ellaam maaridumo
Will everything change starting today?
Nallavai thooridumo sol
Tell me, will good things shower down?
Indrodu ellaam maaridumo
Will everything change starting today?
Valithadhae ullae
It hurt deeply within
Azha thonudhe sirippum serudhae
I feel like crying, yet laughter joins in
Azha thonudhe sirippum serudhae
I feel like crying, yet laughter joins in
Azha thonudhe sirippum serudhae
I feel like crying, yet laughter joins in
Karai maarudhae adi unnaalae….
The shore is shifting, oh girl, because of you...
Hmm mm mazhaiyum kooda maruthadhae
Hmm mm even the rain refused
Enai thottu poga
To touch me and pass by
Malargal kooda maruthadhe
Even the flowers refused
En mel pattu poga
To brush against me
Haa..aaa.aaa.aa….(2)
Haa..aaa.aaa.aa….(2)
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poignant song snippet from 'Rendu Kaadhal' portrays a protagonist who feels cursed by bad luck, believing that even nature's gentlest elements like rain and flowers avoid him to prevent bringing him happiness. However, a turning point arrives through love, prompting him to wonder if his misfortunes will finally end today. This sudden hope causes a turmoil of mixed feelings, leaving him overwhelmed with simultaneous tears and laughter.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Personification
“Mazhaiyum kooda maruthadhae”
Inanimate natural elements like rain (mazhai) and flowers (malargal) are given human intent as they 'refuse' (maruthadhae) to touch the protagonist.
Oxymoron / Paradox
“Azha thonudhe sirippum serudhae”
Juxtaposes two opposing emotional expressions—crying (azha) and laughing (sirippum)—to emphasize intense internal turmoil and disbelief.
Anaphora / Repetition
“Azha thonudhe sirippum serudhae”
The line is repeated consecutively three times to reinforce the overwhelming sensory and emotional overload experienced by the speaker.
Monai (Initial Rhyme / Alliteration)
“Mazhaiyum kooda maruthadhae ... Malargal kooda maruthadhe”
The Tamil poetic tradition of Monai is used here with matching initial letters 'Ma' in 'Mazhaiyum' and 'Malargal'.
