The cool northern breeze arrives
Pausing beside the rare Kurinji flower
What melody is it singing softly
அலையென்னும் நீள ஆடை
அசைந்தாட ஓடும் ஓடை
அலையென்னும் நீள ஆடை
அசைந்தாட ஓடும் ஓடை பொங்க
The wave like a flowing blue garment
The stream rushes, swaying gently
The wave like a flowing blue garment
The stream rushes, swaying and bubbling
வானில் வரும் சுடர் நிறம் செந்நிறம்

The circling cloud shines in a golden shade
Vast imaginations unfolded every single day
Daily thoughts strolling around in delight

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic duet captures the optimistic spirit, playful banter, and youthful freedom shared between two close friends. The protagonists celebrate their present youth while confidently looking forward to shaping the future as leaders of tomorrow. Through vibrant imagery of nature—comparing waves to blue dresses, wind to singing melodies, and hearts to playful calves or bees—the lyrics convey a joyous, carefree philosophy where every moment is filled with color, romance, and friendship.
