| Male | |
| Megam polaagi polaagi | Becoming like a cloud, becoming like a cloud, |
| Vaanengum naanodinaen | I ran across the entire sky. |
| Thaagam theeraamal theeraamal kai yaenthi | With my thirst remaining unquenched, holding out my hands, |
| Neer thaedinaen | I searched for water. |
| Male | |
| Yaedho maayam seithaalae | She worked some kind of magic, |
| Theeraa eeram en melae | Leaving an endless moisture upon me. |
| Nee ponaalae pinnaalae | When you walked ahead, behind you, |
| En paarvai poga kandaen | I saw my gaze following along. |
| Male | |
| Ini nee vaazhum veettirkkul | From now on, inside the house where you live, |
| Naan vaazha aasai kondaen | I desired to live as well. |
| Male | |
| Netru en paathaiyil | Yesterday on my path, |
| Neraatha poonguyil | The sweet cuckoo bird that did not appear, |
| Indru thottam engum | Today across the entire garden, |
| Ursaaga raagangal thoovuthae | Scatters melodies of pure joy. |
| Male | |
| Kaattrum veesuthae | The breeze blows gently too, |
| Kaathoram pesuthae | And whispers right beside my ears. |
| Mazhai saaral vanthu | A drizzle of rain arrives, |
| Mannodu mannaaga ooruthae | And seeps into the soil, becoming one with it. |
| Male | |
| Ohh…oo…oh….oo….oo…oh….yae…yae… | [Vocalizations] |
| Male | |
| Ohh….vaanavillai thedinaen | Oh... I searched for a rainbow, |
| Vaaram yaezhum naalum | And all seven days of the week, |
| Yaezhu vannam kondathae | Took on seven vibrant colors. |
| Male | |
| Oh…padal ondru naadinaen | Oh... I sought out a single song, |
| Nooru nooru vanthu mothuthae | And hundreds upon hundreds came rushing to hit me. |
| Male | |
| Pesaatha mounangal thoothu pogumaa | Will unexpressed silences act as a messenger? |
| Veesaatha poongaattrum veedu serumaa | Will a soft breeze that does not blow ever reach home? |
| Enna solli ennai solveno | What words shall I use to describe myself? |
| Male | |
| Naan ezhuthaa kavithai ellaam unnodu | All my unwritten poems remain with you; |
| Nee nadanthaal nizhalaai naanum pinnodu | When you walk, I follow behind you like a shadow. |
| Male | |
| Netru en paathaiyil | Yesterday on my path, |
| Neraatha poonguyil | The sweet cuckoo bird that did not appear, |
| Indru thottam engum | Today across the entire garden, |
| Ursaaga raagangal thoovuthae….ae…. | Scatters melodies of pure joy... |

மேகம் போலாகி போலாகி
வானெங்கும் நானோடினேன்
தாகம் தீராமல் தீராமல் கை ஏந்தி
நீர் தேடினேன்
Becoming like a cloud, becoming like a cloud,
I ran across the entire sky.
With my thirst remaining unquenched, holding out my hands,
I searched for water.
ஏதோ மாயம் செய்தாளே
தீரா ஈரம் என் மேலே
நீ போனாலே பின்னாலே
என் பார்வை போகக் கண்டேன்
She worked some kind of magic,
Leaving an endless moisture upon me.
When you walked ahead, behind you,
I saw my gaze following along.
இனி நீ வாழும் வீட்டிற்குள்
நான் வாழ ஆசை கொண்டேன்
From now on, inside the house where you live,
I desired to live as well.
நேற்று என் பாதையில்
நேராத பூங்குயில்
இன்று தோட்டம் எங்கும்
உற்சாக ராகங்கள் தூவுதே
Yesterday on my path,
The sweet cuckoo bird that did not appear,
Today across the entire garden,
Scatters melodies of pure joy.
காற்றும் வீசுதே
காதோரம் பேசுதே
மழை சாரல் வந்து
மண்ணோடு மண்ணாக ஊறுதே
The breeze blows gently too,
And whispers right beside my ears.
A drizzle of rain arrives,
And seeps into the soil, becoming one with it.
ஒஹ்....ஓ....ஓஹ்.....ஓ.....ஓ....ஓஹ்...ஏ...ஏ....
[Vocalizations]
ஒஹ்.....வானவில்லை தேடினேன்
வாரம் ஏழும் நாளும்
ஏழு வண்ணம் கொண்டதே
Oh... I searched for a rainbow,
And all seven days of the week,
Took on seven vibrant colors.
ஒஹ்....பாடல் ஒன்று நாடினேன்
நூறு நூறு வந்து மோதுதே
Oh... I sought out a single song,
And hundreds upon hundreds came rushing to hit me.
பேசாத மௌனங்கள் தூது போகுமா
வீசாத பூங்காற்றும் வீடு சேருமா
என்ன சொல்லி என்னை சொல்வேனோ
Will unexpressed silences act as a messenger?
Will a soft breeze that does not blow ever reach home?
What words shall I use to describe myself?
நான் எழுதா கவிதை எல்லாம் உன்னோடு
நீ நடந்தால் நிழலாய் நானும் பின்னோடு
All my unwritten poems remain with you;
When you walk, I follow behind you like a shadow.
நேற்று என் பாதையில்
நேராத பூங்குயில்
இன்று தோட்டம் எங்கும்
உற்சாக ராகங்கள் தூவுதே....ஏ....
Yesterday on my path,
The sweet cuckoo bird that did not appear,
Today across the entire garden,
Scatters melodies of pure joy...
காற்றும் வீசுதே
காதோரம் பேசுதே
மழை சாரல் வந்து
மண்ணோடு மண்ணாக ஊறுதே
The breeze blows gently too,
And whispers right beside my ears.
A drizzle of rain arrives,
And seeps into the soil, becoming one with it.
ஒஹ்....ஓ....ஓஹ்.....ஏ...ஏ....ஓ.....ஓ....ஓஹ்.....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poetic track captures the protagonist's profound emotional transformation upon falling in love. Initially feeling like a dry, wandering cloud searching aimlessly for rain, his world changes completely once his beloved enters his life. The imagery shifts to lush, vibrant nature where rain seeps deeply into the earth, week days turn into rainbow colors, and unspoken silences carry deep meaning.
