ஞாழல் ஞாழல் மலரே
என் கனவில் நீ மலர்ந்தாய் வனமாக
நனையே நனையே திறவாய்
நின் உயிரில் பொழிவேன் மழையாக
Oh flower of the Gnazhal tree!
You bloomed as a forest in my dream.
Drench and open up as a fluid,
I shall pour over your soul like rain.
உயிர் தீண்டும் அரும்பூவே
எனைச்சேரு சிறு தீவே
எனை உறங்காமல்
கனவில் தள்ளும் பாரிஜாதமே நீயடி
Oh rare blossom that touches my soul,
Join me, my little island!
The one pushing me into dreams without letting me sleep,
You are that divine Parijatha flower, my dear!
ஒரு பார்வை
குறு குறு என்கிறதே உயிரே
இரு ஜீவன்
ஒன்றாய் சேர்ந்திடுதே
A single glance,
Makes my soul flutter playfully.
Two lives,
Are merging into one.
கனி விழிகளும்
மார்பில் பாய்ந்திடுதே
உயிரே உனை வழிந்தே
ஜீவன் சாய்ந்திடுதே
Your tender, fruit-like eyes,
Are piercing into my chest.
Oh my life, coming to you,
My spirit leans upon yours.
உனை நீங்கும் வாழ்விலே
ஒரு பொருளும் உண்டோ
நிலம் கதிரை நீங்கிவிடில்
அதில் ஒளியும் உண்டோ
நீ வானம் நான் நீலம்
நம் பந்தம் வாழும்
In a life separated from you,
Is there any meaning at all?
If the earth parts from the sun rays,
Will there be any light left in it?
You are the sky, I am the blue,
Our bond shall live forever.
வேர் காற்றின் நறும் பூவே
என்னைச் சேரு
கோத்தும்பி தீண்டாது
மான் பூவே வாராயோ
எனை உறாங்கமல்
கனவில் தள்ளும்
பாரிஜாதம் நீயடி
Oh fragrant flower riding the root of the wind,
Join me!
Untouched even by the wild bee,
Oh gentle deer-like flower, won't you come?
The one pushing me into dreams without letting me sleep,
You are that divine Parijatha flower, my dear!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a deeply romantic track from the epic saga 'Adipurush', capturing the pure, divine love and spiritual union between Raghav (Rama) and Janaki (Sita). Rich in classical Tamil nature metaphors, the lyrics express how the lovers complete each other, comparing their bond to the sky and its blue color, or the earth and sunlight. Through serene imagery of rains, Parijatha flowers, and gentle breezes, the track underscores an inseparable attachment where two distinct lives merge seamlessly into a single entity. The emotional arc moves from blissful dreaminess to a profound declaration of timeless devotion.
