முதல் மழை என்னை
நனைத்ததே முதல் முறை
ஜன்னல் திறந்ததே பெயரே
தெரியாத பறவை அழைத்ததே
மனமும் பறந்ததே இதயமும்
ஓ இதமாய் மிதந்ததே
The first rain drenched me
For the first time, a window opened
A nameless bird called out
The mind flew away
And the heart floated gently
ம்ம்ம்ம்..
முதல் மழை நம்மை
நனைத்ததே மூடி வைத்த
ஜன்னல் திறந்ததே பெயரே
தெரியாத பறவை அழைத்ததே
மனமும் பறந்ததே இதயமும்.. ஹம்ம்
இதயமாய் மிதந்ததே...யே
Mmmmm..

கனவோடு தானடி
நீ தோன்றினாய் கண்களால்
உன்னை படம் எடுத்தேன்
ஆ...ஆ
You appeared in my dream, my girl
I captured your picture with my eyes
Ah…Aaaaaa..
என் வாசலில்
நேற்று உன் வாசனை
நீ நின்ற இடம் இன்று
உணர்ந்தேன்
Yesterday, your fragrance was at my doorstep
Today, I felt the spot where you stood
எதுவும் புரியா
புது கவிதை அர்த்தம்
மொத்தம் இன்று அறிந்தேன்
கையை மீறும் ஒரு குடையாய்
காற்றோடுதான் நானும் பறந்தேன்
மழைக் காற்றோடுதான் நானும் பறந்தேன்
Like a new poem that was hard to comprehend
Today, I understood its entire meaning
Like an umbrella blown beyond control
I flew away with the wind
I flew away with the rainy wind
முதல் மழை
என்னை நனைத்ததே
லாலாலாலா
The first rain drenched me (Female: Lalalalaa..)
For the first time, a window opened (Female: Lalalalaa..)
A nameless bird called out
The mind flew away
And the heart floated gently
முதல் முறை
ஜன்னல் திறந்ததே
லாலாலாலா..
If I don't see you even for a single day
That day does not exist in my life at all
If I happen to see you for a day
The length of that day is never enough
பெயரே தெரியாத
பறவை அழைத்ததே
மனமும் பறந்ததே
இதயமும்.. ஓ...
இதமாய் மிதந்ததே
Day and night feel like an intoxication
That lingers endlessly in my heart
Your closeness inside my soul
Will remain forever, even if I die
Even if I die, it will remain forever
ஓர்நாள் உன்னை
நானும் காணாவிட்டால்
என் வாழ்வில் அந்த நாளே
இல்லை....ஓ... ஓர்நாள் உன்னை
நானும் பார்த்தே விட்டால்
அந்நாளின் நீளம் போதவில்லை
Uhuhuhuhhh..uhuhuhuhhh..
Male: A nameless bird called out
Female: Uhhhh..uhhhh..
Male: And the heart floated gently
இரவும் பகலும்
ஒரு மயக்கம் நீங்காமலே
நெஞ்சில் இருக்கும் உயிரின்
உள்ளே உந்தன் நெருக்கம்
இறந்தாலுமே என்றும் இருக்கும்
நான் இறந்தாலுமே என்றும் இருக்கும்
ஊஊஊ.....
பெயரே தெரியாத
பறவை அழைத்ததே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Mudhal Mazhai from the movie Bheema is a romantic duet expressing the exhilarating and gentle sensation of falling in love for the first time. The song uses nature imagery—the first monsoon rain, opening windows, unknown birds, and gusty winds—to symbolize how love opens up one's heart and gives a weightless, euphoric sense of freedom. The lovers reflect on how their thoughts are consumed by each other. Time feels contradictory: a day without the beloved feels empty and non-existent, while a day spent together flies by all too quickly. Ultimately, they view their love as an eternal connection that resides deep within their souls, enduring beyond life itself.
