இந்த நொடி போதும் இன்னும் என்ன வேணும்
மிச்சமுள்ள ஆயுள் வாழ்ந்துவிடுவேன்
எத்தனையோ ஆச உள்ளுக்குள்ள வீச
என்ன சொல்லி பேச ஏங்கி கெடக்கேன்
This moment alone is enough; what else could I possibly need?
I could live out the rest of my remaining lifetime with just this.
So many desires blow like a breeze deep inside me.
I lie here longing, wondering what words to speak.
உன்னால ஊருங்க இப்போ
எல்லெண்ணமே மாறுதே பார்
சொல்லாம வானமும் பெய்யுதே
வெள்ளெலாமா கூடுது பார்
Because of you, now in this town...
Look how everything is changing!
Without even announcing itself, the sky begins to rain.
Look how the harvest is growing abundantly!
பார் பாடாத தாலட்ட நான் பாட வேணும்
தூங்காத தூக்கத்த நீ தூங்கணும்
ஊட்டாத பாசோற நான் ஊட்ட வேணும்
நோகாமல் நீ ஓட நான் கெஞ்சணும்
I want to sing an unsung lullaby for you.
You must sleep a long-deprived sleep peacefully.
I want to feed you the milk-rice that was never fed.
When you run away without eating, I want to plead with you.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses a deeply tender, maternal, and protective affection towards a beloved figure. The singer describes the loved one as the very essence of her existence—her eyes, her dreams, her tears of joy, and her precious nectar. Through vivid imagery of the ocean, shore, eyelids, and rain, she articulates how fulfilled her life feels in this present moment and how eager she is to care for, feed, and soothe them into a restful sleep.
