மானே நானே சரணம் சரணம்
மடியின் மேலே
மனதில் ஏதோ சலனம் சலனம்
மழை வந்தாலே
மானே நானே சரணம் சரணம்
மடியின் மேலே
மனதில் ஏதோ சலனம் சலனம்
மழை வந்தாலே
Oh deer-like beauty, I seek refuge, I seek refuge
Upon your lap
There is some agitation in my heart
When the rain arrives
Oh deer-like beauty, I seek refuge, I seek refuge
Upon your lap
There is some agitation in my heart
When the rain arrives
ஊர் தூங்கும் ராத்திரி நேரம்
இளமனதில் எத்தனை தாபம்
ஊர் தூங்கும் ராத்திரி நேரம்
இளமனதில் எத்தனை தாபம்
At night time when the village sleeps
How much yearning is in the young heart?
At night time when the village sleeps
How much yearning is in the young heart?
நீராடு இளமையிலே
சேவல் கூவும் வரையினிலே
Bathe in the rain, my young peacock
Until the rooster crows in the morning
மானே நானே சரணம் சரணம்
மடியின் மேலே
மனதில் ஏதோ சலனம் சலனம்
மழை வந்தாலே
Oh deer-like beauty, I seek refuge, I seek refuge
Upon your lap
There is some agitation in my heart
When the rain arrives
ஆடை நனைந்திருக்க
ஆசை தீயை மூட்டாதா
ஆத்தாடி காளை கன்று
வாலை மெல்ல ஆட்டாதா
As clothes get soaked in rain
Doesn't it kindle the flame of desire?
Oh my, won't the young calf
Gently wag its tail?
தேகம் தழுவி
ஒரு யாகம் செய்ய கூடாதா
காதோட கன்னிப்பூவும்
காதல் கீதம் ஆகாதா
Embracing the body tenderly
Can't we perform a sacred ritual of love?
Beside the ear, won't the virgin flower
Recite the sacred hymns of love?
மின்சார மின்னல் ஒன்று
மெல்ல மெல்ல பாய
Like an electric bolt of lightning
Flowing slowly and gently
மீட்டாத வீணை உந்தன்
மார்பின் மீது சாய
An unplayed veena lies down
Leaning upon your chest
புது ராகம் நரம்புகளில்
உருவாகும் நொடிப்பொழுதில்
A new melody in the nerves
In the instant it takes form
மானே நானே சரணம் சரணம்
மடியின் மேலே
மனதில் ஏதோ சலனம் சலனம்
மழை வந்தாலே
Oh deer-like beauty, I seek refuge, I seek refuge
Upon your lap
There is some agitation in my heart
When the rain arrives
பாதக் கொலுசு கொஞ்சும் பாதம்
என்ன பூச்செண்டா
நான் தீண்டும் அங்கம் எல்லாம்
தித்திக்கின்ற கற்கண்டா
The foot with tinkling anklets
Is it a bouquet of flowers?
Every part of the body that I touch
Is sweet like rock candy
பூவில் குடியிருக்க
நீயும் என்ன பொன் வண்டா
நான் தானே உன்னை என்னை
சிந்திக்காத நாளுண்டா
To dwell inside a flower
Are you a golden beetle?
Is there a single day
When I haven't thought of you?
ஆகாயம் பொத்துக் கொண்டு
தண்ணீர் விடும் போது
When the heavens open up
And pour down torrents of rain
ஆகாய கங்கை செல்லும்
கோட்டம் இங்கு ஏது
Where is the crowd here
To say that it shouldn't happen?
ஒரு பாதி குளிர்ந்ததென்ன
மறு பாதி கொதிப்பதென்ன
Why is one half feeling cold?
Why is the other half boiling hot?
மானே நானே சரணம் சரணம்
மடியின் மேலே
மனதில் ஏதோ சலனம் சலனம்
மழை வந்தாலே
Oh deer-like beauty, I seek refuge, I seek refuge
Upon your lap
There is some agitation in my heart
When the rain arrives
மானே நானே சரணம் சரணம்
மடியின் மேலே
மனதில் ஏதோ சலனம் சலனம்
மழை வந்தாலே
Oh deer-like beauty, I seek refuge, I seek refuge
Upon your lap
There is some agitation in my heart
When the rain arrives
ஊர் தூங்கும் ராத்திரி நேரம்
இளமனதில் எத்தனை தாபம்
ஊர் தூங்கும் ராத்திரி நேரம்
இளமனதில் எத்தனை தாபம்
At night time when the village sleeps
How much yearning is in the young heart?
At night time when the village sleeps
How much yearning is in the young heart?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This romantic track captures the passionate dialogue and intimate feelings between two lovers on a rainy night while the world around them slumbers. Rain serves as the central atmospheric element, symbolizing awakening desires, warmth amidst cool weather, and the surrender of love. The song poetically contrasts the stillness of the night with the emotional surge felt by the couple, using rich metaphors of nature, music, and divine refuge.
