மழையே மழையே
தூரத்திலிருந்து நனைக்காதே
மனதில் நுழைந்து ஒவ்வொரு
அறையாய் திறக்காதே
Oh rain, oh rain!
Do not drench me from afar.
Entering into my heart,
Do not open room after room.
அலையே அலையே
அழகால் என்னைக் குடிக்காதே
ஆசை என்னும்
புயலுக்கு உள்ளே இழுக்காதே
Oh wave, oh wave!
Do not consume me with your beauty.
Into the storm
Called desire, do not pull me in.
இதழில் இதழால் கிறுக்காதே
இமையைக் கனவால் நொறுக்காதே
இத்தனை மழை தான் சட்டென அடித்தால்
சின்னஞ்சிறு இதயம் தாங்காதே
Do not scribble on my lips with your lips.
Do not crush my eyelids with dreams.
If so much rain pours all of a sudden,
This tiny little heart cannot bear it.
மழையே மழையே
தூரத்திலிருந்து நனைக்காதே
மனதில் நுழைந்து ஒவ்வொரு
அறையாய் திறக்காதே
Oh rain, oh rain!
Do not drench me from afar.
Entering into my heart,
Do not open room after room.
இதழில் இதழால் கிறுக்காதே
இமையைக் கனவால் நொறுக்காதே
இத்தனை மழை தான் சட்டென அடித்தால்
சின்னஞ்சிறு இதயம் தாங்காதே
Do not scribble on my lips with your lips.
Do not crush my eyelids with dreams.
If so much rain pours all of a sudden,
This tiny little heart cannot bear it.
ஆண் ஒரு கரை தான்
பெண் ஒரு கரை தான்
காதல் நதியாய் நடுவினில் வந்து
இணைக்கிறதே இணைக்கிறதே
Man is one bank of the river,
Woman is the other bank,
Love flows between them as a river,
Connecting them together, connecting them.
ஆயிரம் வார்த்தை
பார்வையில் இருந்தும்
அதை விட மௌனம் பேசும் பாஷை
பிடிக்கிறதே பிடிக்கிறதே
Even with a thousand words
Conveyed in a single glance,
The language spoken by silence
Is what I like more, I like it so much!
புதிதாய் வருதே பூ வாசம்
அடடா எனக்குள் உன் வாசம்
இது அன்பால் எழுதும் இதிகாசம்
நாம் போவது எங்கோ புது தேசம்
இனி விழியும் விரலும்
விரலும் விழியும் கதை பேசும்
Freshly arrives
The fragrance of flowers,
Aha! Your scent is now inside me!
This is an epic written by love.
Where we are headed is a brand new land.
From now on, eyes and fingers,
Fingers and eyes will speak stories.
மழையே மழையே
தூரத்திலிருந்து நனைக்காதே
மனதில் நுழைந்து ஒவ்வொரு
அறையாய் திறக்காதே
Oh rain, oh rain!
Do not drench me from afar.
Entering into my heart,
Do not open room after room.
இதழில் இதழால் கிறுக்காதே
இமையைக் கனவால் நொறுக்காதே
இத்தனை மழை தான் சட்டென அடித்தால்
சின்னஞ்சிறு இதயம் தாங்காதே
Do not scribble on my lips with your lips.
Do not crush my eyelids with dreams.
If so much rain pours all of a sudden,
This tiny little heart cannot bear it.

மேல் இமை அழைக்க
கீழ் இமை தடுக்க
இது தான் காதல் கண்ணில் நடத்தும்
கலவரமா கலவரமா
The upper eyelid invites,
The lower eyelid resists,
Is this the gentle riot that love
Conducts inside the eyes?
பூ இதழ் துடிக்க
வேர்வரை வெடிக்க
வெட்கம் நாணம் அச்சம் இனிமேல்
துணைவருமா துணைவருமா
Flower petals quiver,
Exploding right down to the roots,
Will shyness, modesty, and fear
Stand as companions anymore?
மயக்கம் எதிரே வலைவீசும்
தயக்கம் உடனே தடை வீசும்
இனி தினமும் கரையில் அலைவீசும்
அந்த அலையில் மொத்தத்தில்
மனம் பேசும்
Fascination casts its net in front,
Hesitation places a barrier immediately,
From now on, waves will crash on the shore daily,
And in those waves, the heart will speak completely.
From now on, eyes and fingers,
Fingers and eyes will speak stories.
மழையே மழையே
தூரத்திலிருந்து நனைக்காதே
மனதில் நுழைந்து ஒவ்வொரு
அறையாய் திறக்காதே
Oh rain, oh rain!
Do not drench me from afar.
Entering into my heart,
Do not open room after room.
இதழில் இதழால் கிறுக்காதே
இமையைக் கனவால் நொறுக்காதே
இத்தனை மழை தான் சட்டென அடித்தால்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poetic track from 'Iruvar Ullam' uses the metaphors of rain, waves, and storms to describe the sudden onslaught of romantic emotions. The protagonist expresses a overwhelming mixture of exhilaration and vulnerability as love enters their life. Love is depicted as a uniting river that bridges two separate shores (the man and the woman) through silent understanding and unspoken gestures.
