ஹே லே.....ஓஓஓ.....
சின்னஞ்சிறு இதயத்திலே
மழைத்துளி குதிக்கிறதே
என்ன இந்த சொந்தமென்று
எட்டி எட்டிப் பார்க்கிறதே
மழைத்துளி விழுவது
மண்ணுக்குத்தெரியும்
மழைத்துளி சேரும் இடம்
யாருக்குத்தெரியும்
இது நதியாக ஓடி கடலோடு கூடி
முத்தாகமோ இல்லை உப்பாகுமோ
In a tiny little heart
A raindrop jumps about
Wondering what relation this is
It peeps and looks again and again
ஏரே ரி ரோ... ஏரே ரே ரரோ..
That raindrops fall
The earth knows
Where the raindrop reaches
Who knows?
Running as a river
Joining with the ocean
Will it become a pearl or become salt?
சின்னஞ்சிறு இதயத்திலே
மழைத்துளி குதிக்கிறதே
என்ன இந்த சொந்தமென்று
எட்டி எட்டிப் பார்க்கிறதே
மழைத்துளி விழுவது
மண்ணுக்குத்தெரியும்
மழைத்துளி சேரும் இடம்
யாருக்குத்தெரியும்
இது நதியாக ஓடி கடலோடு கூடி
முத்தாகமோ இல்லை உப்பாகுமோ
Yeraeri raeroo yaeraeriroo
ஏரே ரே ரரோ.. ஏரே ரி ரோ...
ஹே லே.....ஓஓஓ..... ஆஆஆ ஓ...
In a tiny little heart
A raindrop jumps about
Wondering what relation this is
It peeps and looks again and again
கிளைகளில் பூப்பூத்தால்
ஊருக்குத் தெரிந்துவிடும்
வேரிலும் பூப்பூக்கும்
அதுதான் பெண் இதயம்
That raindrops fall
The earth knows
Where the raindrop reaches
Who knows?
Running as a river
Joining with the ocean
Will it become a pearl or become salt?
பெண் மனதின் காதலெல்லாம்
கைரேகை போலே
வளர வளர கூட வளரும்
இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் மேலே
Yeraeri raeroo yaeraeriroo
இது கண்ணாடி பிம்பம்
அதை கைத்தீண்டும் வயது
தினம் அன்பாகி அன்பாகி
அலைப்பாயும் மனது....
If a flower blooms on branches
The town will know
Flowers bloom even in roots
That is a woman's heart
யகியே யகியே ஏலா
யகி யகி யே....
In a woman's mind
All of love
Like the lines on a palm
Grows along as one grows
A little higher still
சின்னஞ்சிறு இதயத்திலே
மழைத்துளி குதிக்கிறதே
என்ன இந்த சொந்தமென்று
எட்டி எட்டிப் பார்க்கிறதே
This is a mirror reflection
The age when a hand touches it
Male: Becoming affection day by day
The mind waves and wanders...
ஒவ்வொரு வயதினிலும்
ஒவ்வொரு கனவிருக்கும்
வாழ்விலே கனவுமயம்
என்பதையே மறந்திருக்கும்
In a tiny little heart
A raindrop jumps about
Wondering what relation this is
It peeps and looks again and again
தோழமையின் கைப்பிடித்து
நடந்து சொல்லும்போது
காதலெனும் ஊருக்கது
கூட்டிச்செல்லும் பாரு
At every single age
There is a unique dream
Life itself is full of dreams
Forgetting that very fact
சிலர் தெரியாமல் போவார்
சிலர் தெரிந்தே தான் போவார்
இனி எதிர்காலம் என்னாகும்
யார் சொல்லக்கூடும்
Holding the hand of friendship
When walking ahead
To the town called love
Look, it takes you along
ஹே.. ஹே.. ஹே.. ஹே..
ஹே.. ஹே.. ஹே.. ஹே..
Some will go unknowingly
Some will go knowingly
What will happen to the future now?
Who can say?
சின்னஞ்சிறு இதயத்திலே
மழைத்துளி குதிக்கிறதே
என்ன இந்த சொந்தமென்று
எட்டி எட்டிப் பார்க்கிறதே
Hey... hey... hey...
Hey... hey... hey...
Heyeyy heyyy....
ஆண் மற்றும் பெண் :
மழைத்துளி விழுவது
மண்ணுக்குத்தெரியும்
ம்ம்...மழைத்துளி சேரும் இடம்
யாருக்குத்தெரியும்
In a tiny little heart
A raindrop jumps about
Wondering what relation this is
It peeps and looks again and again
இது நதியாக ஓடி கடலோடு கூடி
முத்தாகமா இல்லை உப்பாகுமா
யகியே யகியே ஏலா
யகி யகி யே....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Chinnanjiru Idhayathilae' explores themes of innocence, identity, love, and the unpredictable journey of life. Using delicate natural metaphors like raindrops falling into the ocean and flowers blooming silently at the roots, the lyricist Na. Muthu Kumar captures the deep, subtle emotional realm of human feelings—particularly the tender heart of a woman navigating growing up and the uncertainty of fate.
