என் வாழ்வில் வசந்தங்கள் வருமோ இல்லை
எதிர்காலம் கனவாகி விடுமோ
என் வாழ்வில் வசந்தங்கள் வருமோ இல்லை
எதிர்காலம் கனவாகி விடுமோ
என்னை அறியாமலே அச்சம் உருவாகுதே
இன்ப இளந்தென்றல் இனி வீசுமோ ஓ......ஓ......ஒ.....
Will spring arrive in my life, or
Will my future turn into just a dream?
Will spring arrive in my life, or
Will my future turn into just a dream?

என் வாழ்வில் வசந்தங்கள் வருமோ இல்லை
எதிர்காலம் கனவாகி விடுமோ
Will spring arrive in my life, or
Will my future turn into just a dream?
வன வேடன் செய்த பிழையாலே இன்று
கிளி ஒன்று கண்ணீர் சிந்துதே

Today, due to the mistake made by the forest hunter
A parrot is shedding tears
Today, due to the mistake made by the forest hunter
A parrot is shedding tears
மருந்தேதான் இன்று நோயானதே
சுடு நீரில் மீன் போல் மனம் வாடுதே
விடை ஏதும் இல்லா கதை ஆனதே
The medicine itself has turned into the disease today
My heart wilts like a fish in hot water
It has become a story without any answer
வெண்மேகம் நிறம் மாறி வருமோ
இந்த பெண் மேகம் புதுக் கோலம் பெறுமோ...
Will the white cloud change its color?
Male: Will this female cloud take on a new form?
காத்தோடு காத்தாய் வாழ்கின்ற என்னை
கண்ணார நீயும் காணலாம்
ஆகாயம் பூமி எங்கெங்கும் என்னை
அன்றாடம் நீயும் பார்க்கலாம்
Living along with the wind as wind itself
You can see me directly with your own eyes
Across the sky and earth, everywhere
You can see me every single day
எந்நாளும் உந்தன் மனசாட்சியாக
இங்கே நானும் வாழ்கிறேன்
எங்கே நீ போனாலும் அங்கங்கே நானும்
உன் நிழல் போல் உன்னை தொடருவேன்
Forever as your conscience
I am living here too
Wherever you go, there I will be too
I will follow you like your shadow

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
En Vaazhvil Vasanthangal from Rajathi Rojakili (1985) conveys a woman's deep anguish, despair, and uncertainty about her future. Comparing herself to an innocent parrot suffering from a hunter's mistake and a fish trapped in hot water, she questions whether joy and happiness ('springtime') will ever return to her life or if her hopes will remain unfulfilled dreams. In response, a comforting male voice reassures her, promising to stay as her shadow, live within her conscience, and offer continuous support through all hardships.
