Maaya mazhalai megam
Madi saaya karaiyum dhegam
Kaalam thanakaaga varaiyaadha varamoo
Kaatril oru thoghai mayil aagumoo
Aadum maaya mazhalai megam
Madi saaya karaiyum dhegam
Yaar pizhaigalo vizhigal kaanadha
Niraiyin magalo oviya kuviyalo
Kaatraliyil ilaigalo kilindhu veezhaamal
Anaithu pidikkum siriya kilaiyin
Thaayanbai polae mannil edhuvum illai
Per anbin veliyil yaarum dhooram illai
Kaayathin kaalgal endrum thodarvadhillai
Nyaayathin kanakkil yaarum oram illai
Yaarodu yaar kaappaattrudhe
Ivalin idhayam
Kann urangumaa karaiyai saeraamal
Kanavai thodumaa maamazhai pozhiyumaa
Vaan thiraiyil vidiyumaa viyarvai veezhndhaalum
Mulaikkum chediyin ariya malarin
Vaasangal kollai inbam koduthu veikkum
Vaanathu nirangal kaatril paalam veikkum
Pasathil nenjam konjam parithavikkum
Orathu vizhiyil eeram thooral veikkum
Yaarodu yaar kaappaattrudhe
Ivalin idhayam
Maaya mazhalai megam
Madi saaya karaiyum dhegam
Kaalam thanakaaga varaiyaadha varamoo
Kaatril oru thoghai mayil aagumoo
Aadum maaya mazhalai megam
Madi saaya karaiyum dhegam
A magical, childlike cloud,
A body that melts as it rests upon a lap.
Is this a blessing that time never wrote for itself?
Can a single feather become a peacock in the wind?
A dancing, magical, childlike cloud,
A body that melts as it rests upon a lap.
Whose unseen mistakes are these,
Is she a daughter of grace, or a collection of art?
So the leaves do not tear and fall in the gust of wind,
A tiny branch holds them close in its embrace;
There is nothing on this earth like a mother's love.
In the vast expanse of boundless love, no one is ever far away.
The journey of pain has never truly begun.
In the balance of justice, no one is ever cast aside.
Who is protecting whom,
To guard this heart of hers?
Will these eyes sleep before reaching the shore?
Will they touch the dream? Will a soothing rain pour?
Will dawn break on the sky's canvas, even as sweat falls?
From the rare blossom of a tender sprouting plant,
Its sweet fragrances bring boundless joy;
The colors of the sky build a bridge in the air.
With deep affection, the heart aches softly with care,
Bringing a gentle drizzle of tears to the corner of the eyes.
Who is protecting whom,
To guard this heart of hers?
A magical, childlike cloud,
A body that melts as it rests upon a lap.
Is this a blessing that time never wrote for itself?
Can a single feather become a peacock in the wind?
A dancing, magical, childlike cloud,
A body that melts as it rests upon a lap.
