Like a lotus flower bathing its head,
My heart has transformed
Even the sandalwood breeze seeking shelter
Proclaimed that it is cold
Seeing the street floating with foam,
My happiness grew
The desire to walk holding an umbrella
Sang a musical tune
Come, come, O fresh rain… ae…ae…ae…ae…
Come, come, O fresh rain, I became a flower garden
Ohoo…
I became a fish playing in the stream's music
Oh, drop by drop, the raindrops
To gather like pearls and string together
Thinking of it, my dear, came a maiden
Gathering pearl-like flowers

O rain cloud, all these days
Where had you gone?
Why did you forget the happiness
Of the lotus flower whose face is wilting?
Like the heavenly Ganges,
You entered into my heart
The fragrance of the red soil
You carried along with the wind
The river is not mute…ae…ae…ae…ae…
The river is not mute, I heard its speaking voice
Ohoo…
Because of you, these fields
I saw them changing their clothes
As the rain falls intermittently here,
Stealing the heart away,
Pleasure and supreme bliss fill the heart
Gathering pearl-like flowers
Thaam thanakka thaam

Dheem thanakka dheem
