மழையின் சாரலில்
மழையின் சாரலில் நனைய
தோன்றுது நடுங்க தோன்றுது
பிழைகள் என்றே தெரிந்தும்
கூட பிடித்துப் போனது
புதையல் ஆனது
In the drizzle of the rain, in the drizzle of the rain
I feel like getting drenched, I feel like shivering
Even though I know these are mistakes
I grew to like it, it became a treasure
விருப்பம் பாதி
தயக்கம் பாதி கடலில்
ஒரு கால் கரையில்
ஒரு கால் அலைகள்
அடித்தே கடலில் விழவா
துரும்பை பிடித்தே கரையில்
எழவா இதுவரை இது போலே
இருமனம் கொண்டு தவித்ததில்லை
அதிலுமே எனக்காக திருமணம்
வரை நினைத்ததில்லை ஓஹோ
ஓஹோ ஹ்ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம் ஆஹா
Half desire, half hesitation
One foot in the sea, one foot on the shore
Should I fall into the sea, swept by the waves?
Should I hold onto a tiny twig and climb onto the shore?
Never before have I suffered with such a divided mind like this
And above all, I never thought as far as marriage for myself
மழையின் சாரலில்
மழையின் சாரலில் நனைய
தோன்றுது நடுங்க தோன்றுது

In the drizzle of the rain, in the drizzle of the rain
I feel like getting drenched, I feel like shivering
Even though I know these are mistakes
I grew to like it, it became a treasure

யார் யாரோ பூச்சூட
பூமாலை நான் வாங்க நான்
சூடும் பூமாலை நாள் பார்த்து
யார் வாங்க
When random people wear flowers, I buy a garland
Who will pick an auspicious day to buy the garland I wear?
கண் பார்த்து நீ
பேசும் போதெல்லாம்
நான் ஏங்க மண் பார்த்து
என்னோடு நீ பேசும் நாள்
காண
Whenever you look into my eyes and talk, I yearn
To see the day when you look down at the ground and talk to me bashfully
வரைந்து பழகும்
நிறங்கள் புழங்கும் ஓவியன்
விரலின் கிறுக்கல் இதுவா
நடந்து பழகும் விழுந்து
அழுகும் குழந்தை வயதின்
சறுக்கல் இதுவா ஆமாம்
ஆமாம்
