உலா வரும் நிலா தரும்
ஒளியில் சிவந்த
இரவின் அழகி நீதான்
You are the beauty of the night
Reddened by the light
Brought by the strolling moon
மழை துளி அணைத்திடும்
காதல் வடியும்
பூவின் இதழி நீதான்
Embraced by raindrop
Dripping with love
You are the petal of a flower
குயிலே இளங் குயிலே
என் பாடல் வரிகள் நீதான்
இசையே மெல்லிசையே
அதை தூண்டும் வலியும் நீதான்
O cuckoo, young cuckoo
You are the lines of my song
O music, soft music
You are also the pain that stirs it
முதல் மழையே
முதல் மழையே
என் முதலும் முடிவும் நீதான்
அடி நீதான்…
O first rain
O first rain
You are my beginning and my end
Oh, you alone...
உனை தொடவே
உயிர் எழுந்தேன்
எனை தரவே
உனை அறிந்தேன்
உனதருகே
துயில் எழவே
ஆயிரம் பிறவி வேண்டுமே
To touch you
I came alive
To give myself to you
I came to know you
Beside you
To wake up from sleep
I need a thousand births
உனை தொடவே
உயிர் எழுந்தேன்
எனை தரவே
உனை அறிந்தேன்
உனதருகே
துயில் எழவே
ஆயிரம் பிறவி வேண்டுமே
To touch you
I came alive
To give myself to you
I came to know you
Beside you
To wake up from sleep
I need a thousand births
குயிலே இளங் குயிலே
என் பாடலே வரிகள் நீதான்
இசையே மெல்லிசையே
அதை தூண்டும் வலியும் நீதான்
O cuckoo, young cuckoo
You are the lines of my song
O music, soft music
You are also the pain that stirs it
முதல் மழையே
முதல் மழையே
என் முதலும் முடிவும் நீதான்
அடி நீதான்…
O first rain
O first rain
You are my beginning and my end
Oh, you alone...
இரவு கடந்து போகும்
உன் நினப்பு போகதம்மா
மழலை இதயம் ஏங்கும்
தீராத காதல் நீதானா
The night will pass away
Your memory will not pass away, my dear
An innocent heart longs
Are you that endless love?
தன்னிலை மறந்து போகும்
என் போதை நீயடி
நீயடி நீயடி
நீயுமின்றி யாரடி
Losing self-awareness
You are my intoxication, my dear
You alone, you alone
Without you, who else is there?
ஆயிரம் பாடல்கள்
எழுதி போதவில்லையே
கவிதைகள் உன்னையே
A thousand songs
Written were not enough
Poems about you
அடி ரோசாவே இது என்ன மாயம்
புது இலக்கணம் அதில் வாழ்வோமே
அதில் சிறு குழந்தைகளென நாம்
போகாதே என்னை விட்டு தூரம்
அது சிறிது எனினும் தாங்காதே
நிலவில்லா வானே
Oh rose, what magic is this?
Let us live in a new grammar
In it, like little children, let us be
Do not go far away from me
Even if it is a little distance, I cannot bear it
O sky without a moon
உயிரே என் உயிரே
என் காதல் மொழிகள் நீதான்
இசையே என் இசையே
அதை பேசும் கவியும் நீதான்
O life, my life
You are my words of love
O music, my music
You are the poetry that speaks it
முதல் மழையே
முதல் மழையே
என் முதலும் முடிவும் நீதான்
அடி நீதான்….
O first rain
O first rain
You are my beginning and my end
Oh, you alone...
உயிரே என் உயிரே

Beyond the translation

This song is a deeply romantic and soulful ballad expressing intense love, devotion, and poetic adoration towards a beloved.

He confesses that she is his entire world, his start and end, and the reason for his existence. He yearns to spend countless lifetimes by her side.
