| Mazhai varum arikuri.. en vizhigalil theriyuthae | Signs of incoming rain are visible in my eyes |
| Manam indru ninaiyuthae.. .ithu enna kaadhala saadhala | My heart gets soaked today; is this love or death? |
| Pazhagiya kaalangal.. en paarvayil viriyuthae | The times we spent together unfold in my sight |

மழை வரும்
அறிகுறி என் விழிகளில்
தெரியுதே மனம் இன்று
நனையுதே இது என்ன
காதலா சாதலா பழகிய
காலங்கள் என் பார்வையில்
விரியுதே பாதைகள் நழுவுதே
இது ஏனோ ஏனோ
Signs of incoming rain are visible in my eyes
My heart gets soaked today; is this love or death?
The times we spent together unfold in my sight
The paths are slipping away; why is this happening, why?
உன் தோளில் சாயும்
போது உற்சாகம்
கொள்ளும் கண்கள்
நீ எங்கே எங்கே என்று
உன்னை தேடி தேடி
பார்க்கிறது உன்னோடு
போகும் போது பூ பூக்கும்
சாலையாவும் நீ எங்கே
என்று என்னை கேட்ட
பின்பு வாடிடுதே
Eyes that felt enthusiastic when leaning on your shoulder
Are now searching for you everywhere, asking where you are
All the roads that used to bloom with flowers when walking with you
Have withered after asking me where you are
மழை வரும்
அறிகுறி என் விழிகளில்
தெரியுதே மனம் இன்று
நனையுதே இது என்ன
காதலா சாதலா பழகிய
காலங்கள் என் பார்வையில்
விரியுதே பாதைகள் நழுவுதே
இது ஏனோ ஏனோ
Signs of incoming rain are visible in my eyes
My heart gets soaked today; is this love or death?
The times we spent together unfold in my sight
The paths are slipping away; why is this happening, why?
அறியாதொரு
வயதில் விதைத்தது
ஓ ஓ அதுவாகவே தானாய்
வளர்ந்தது ஓ புதிதாய் ஒரு
பூவும் பூக்கையில் ஓ ஓ
அட யாரதை யாரதை
பறித்தது ஓ உன் கால்தடம்
சென்ற வழி பார்த்து நானும்
வந்தேன் அது பாதியில்
தொலைந்ததடா
Sown during innocent childhood years
Oh ho ho ho oo oo oo
It grew all on its own
Oh ho ho ho
Just as a fresh flower blossomed
Oh ho ho ho oo oo oo
Oh, who plucked it away, who plucked it away?
Oh ho ho ho
நான் கேட்டது
அழகிய நேரங்கள் ஓ ஓ
யார் தந்தது விழிகளில்
ஈரங்கள் ஓ நான் கேட்டது
வானவில் மாயங்கள் ஓ ஓ
யார் தந்தது வழிகளில்
காயங்கள் ஓ இந்த காதலும்
ஒரு வகை சித்ரவதை தானே
அது உயிருடன் எரிக்குதடா
Following the path where your footprints lay
I came along looking for you
Yet it was lost halfway...
ஓஹோ
ஓஹோ ஹோ
ஹோ ஓ
What I asked for were beautiful moments
Oh ho ho ho oo oo oo
Who gave this wetness of tears in my eyes...
Oh ho ho ho
What I asked for was the magic of rainbows
Oh ho ho ho oo oo oo
Who gave these wounds along my journey...
Oh ho ho ho
மழை வரும்
