தென்றல் தழுவிக் கொண்டே வரும்
இரவைக் கண்டே பெண்மை
தவித்துக் கொண்டே இருக்கும்
The heart will keep throbbing with longing
The eyes will keep staying awake
The heart will keep throbbing with longing
The eyes will keep staying awake
As the gentle breeze caresses softly
Seeing the night arrive, womanhood
Will keep yearning continuously

நாளை வீட்டுக்குள்ளே இருக்கும்
இன்று கூட்டுக்குள்ளே இருக்கும்
நாளை வீட்டுக்குள்ளே இருக்கும்
எங்கள் கூட்டுக்குரல் இன்பக் கோட்டைக்குள்ளே
என்றும் கேட்டுக்கொண்டே இருக்கும்
Today it remains inside a small nest
Tomorrow it will be inside a permanent home
Today it remains inside a small nest
Tomorrow it will be inside a permanent home
Our combined voices inside this fortress of joy
Will forever keep being heard
மழை பொழிந்து கொண்டே இருக்கும்
உடல் நனைந்து கொண்டே இருக்கும்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from 'Kudumba Thalaivan' uses rain as a vibrant metaphor for overwhelming love and emotional fulfillment. Just as rain continuously drenches the physical body, romance fills the heart and causes the soul to float in pure ecstasy. The imagery of the cool breeze and nightfall evokes intimate yearning and tender romantic passion. Beyond emotional bliss, the song carries a message of hope and progression, moving from a humble present ('nest') to a secure future ('home'). Through sweet repetition, lyricist Kannadasan paints love as an enduring sanctuary where happiness echoes eternally.
