Aavali megangal moyyum vaanilai
Aavalil mannmeedhu boomi kuliruma

Weather where thick clouds gather in the sky,
Will the earth cool down with eager longing?
A moment where drizzles slowly seep in desire,
Mmm, a state where hesitations tremble in the heart...
As a dream takes shape and unfolds before me,
The time when love turns into a journey,
Should I let go and suffer, or reach out and follow?
Should I struggle and keep trying? Ah...
Do not drift away, do not fade, pure white ray of light,
You alone are my only flame,
Do not fade away, do not fade away.
Do not drift away, do not fade, endless dream,
You alone are my only flame,
Do not fade away, do not fade away.
A moment when the weight of the dream is too heavy to bear,
A war inside the heart on the verge of an ending,
Will a time full of meaning arrive as a blessing,
Or will it become a curse? Is it all a puzzle?
As the dream melts like wax before my eyes,
The moment when love turns into sweet nectar,
Should I let go and suffer, or reach out and follow?
Should I struggle and keep trying? Ah...
Do not drift away, do not fade, pure white ray of light,
You alone are my only flame,
Do not fade away, do not fade away.
Do not drift away, do not fade, endless dream,
You alone are my only flame,
Do not fade away, do not fade away.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song expresses a deep emotional dilemma and vulnerable longing in the midst of uncertainty. The protagonist contemplates whether to embrace love or pull away, feeling caught between fear and intense desire. Metaphors of weather, melting wax, and a solitary guiding light convey how dreams and feelings weigh heavily on the heart, ultimately pleading for hope and togetherness not to fade away.
