Is this the rain of love?
Is this the rain of love?
Without any land beneath me,
in what shall I catch it?
Chorus: Hoo hoo ooo...
Is this the music of love?
Is this the music of love?
Without ears to hear,
what am I to do?
With an invitation,
love arrived.
"There is no permission,"
time declared.
On one side, life
closes its doors.
On the other side, love
shows the way.
What should I do?
Should I speak of my love?
What should I do?
Should I speak of my love?
Is this the rain of love?
Is this the rain of love?
Without any land beneath me,
in what shall I catch it?
Chorus: Hoo hoo ooo...
Aaa... aaa... aaa... aa...
Why do the streams
long to join the ocean?
For the jasmine creeper today,
the sound of a chariot arriving!
Searching for water,
a cloud wanders lost.
A stage where no one sings,
a melody of sorrow.
A kolam (floor pattern) at the doorway
dreams of the stars.
Why does a butterfly
admire the rainbow?
What is this?
What dream is this?
What is this?
What dream is this?
Why has night arrived
once again in the daytime?
Is this the rain of love?
Is this the rain of love?
Without any land beneath me,
in what shall I catch it?
Thararam tharara raram
Thararam tharara raram
Thararam tharara raram
Thararam tharara raram
The words spoken by glances
are love.
The glance seen through words
is love.
In the hands of life,
you and I are dolls.
The love of dolls
is an impossible truth.
The sky, my love,
never gets wet when it rains.
Once love enters,
the heart can never change.
What is this?
What dream is this?
What is this?
What dream is this?
Why has night arrived
once again in the daytime?
Is this the rain of love?
Is this the rain of love?
Without any land beneath me,
in what shall I catch it?
Chorus: I will catch it...
Is this the music of love?
Is this the music of love?
Without ears to hear,
what am I to do?
With an invitation,
love arrived.
"There is no permission,"
time declared.
On one side, life
closes its doors.
On the other side, love
shows the way.
What should I do?
Should I speak of my love?
What should I do?
Should I speak of my love?

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
Idhuthaana Kaadhal Mazhai from the 2007 film Pirappu is a deeply reflective song exploring the surreal and overwhelming nature of falling in love amidst opposing circumstances. The lyricist Kamakodiyan uses vivid metaphors—such as rain falling where there is no ground to catch it, or music playing for one lacking ears—to represent an emotional experience that feels both transcendent and impossible to contain.
