Looking continuously at the sky,
The earth yearns.
There is not a single cloud in sight, oh Lord.

வெயிலில காஞ்சு காஞ்சு

பயிரும் கருகாதோ.........
அழகான ராசாவும் ஆசையுள்ள ரோசாவ
விட்டு விட்டுப் போனானே.......
Drying up continuously in the heat,
If the field gets parched,
Won't the crop wither away?
The handsome king left his loving rose,
Left her behind and walked away…

சொந்தந்தான் அத நீ மறக்காதே
ஒன் மனக் கதவ திறந்து வச்சு
காத்திருந்தாலே
மன்னவனும் வருவாரே.......
He is your husband alone,
Yours and yours alone.
He is indeed your rightful bond, do not forget that.
If you keep the door of your heart open
And wait for him,
Your king will surely return…

Why this wilting, my dear girl?
It is men who commit wrongdoing and evil!

உன் ஆசை கண்ணாளன்
யார் என்று நீ சொன்னால்
கொண்டு வந்து சேர்ப்பேனே............

En Purushan Thaan from Gopurangal Saivathillai (1982) is a deeply emotional song centered on marital devotion, heartbreak, and reassurance. The heroine laments her husband's emotional distance and departure, using natural imagery of drought and parched fields to express how her heart yearns for his return just as the dry earth longs for rain clouds.
