அந்த கோடையில் மேகம் வந்தாலும்
இளம் வாடையில் தென்றல் வந்தாலும்
உனைத்தானே நினைக்கிறேன்
Even if clouds gather in that summer,
Even if a gentle breeze arrives in the chilly breeze,
It is only you that I think of.
என் ஆசையின் ஊஞ்சலும் நீயே
அதில் ஆடிடும் கனவுகள் நீயே
அதில்தானே வாழ்கிறேன்
Oh my precious treasure!
I see only one face, always.
I hear only one voice, even now.

Are you not my foundation every single day?
Shall I perform a thousand days of worship for you?
நான் பாடும் கீதம் நீ தந்த ராகம்
நீ சொல்லும் பாடம் என் வாழ்வில் வேதம்
நாள்தோறுமே ஆதாரமே நீ அல்லவோ
நாலாயிரம் ஆராதனை நான் செய்யவோ
Oh my precious treasure!
I see only one face, always.
I hear only one voice, even now.

I am a river of milk, you are a river of honey in this floral arena!
If I do not see you, my heart will never find peace.
நீ எந்தன் வானம் நான் அங்கு நீலம்
நீ எந்தன் வாசல் நான் அங்கு கோலம்
பாலாறு நான் தேனாறு நீ பூமன்றமே
காணாவிட்டால் ஆராதம்மா என் நெஞ்சமே
Oh my precious treasure!
I see only one face, always.
I hear only one voice, even now.

The song 'Selvamae Orae Mugam Paarkkiren' is an expression of deep, unconditional affection and singular devotion toward a loved one. The singer addresses their beloved as 'Selvamae' (precious treasure) and proclaims that regardless of seasonal changes or atmospheric distractions—whether summer rain clouds or cool northern breezes—their mind remains steadfastly focused on that one face and voice.
