Pada padavena paranthida indru

Siragugal adada mulaikirathe

Kadakadavena kadanthida indru

Vaanavil vazhiyaa viringindrathe

Unnai kandaal bayangal yaavum

Panjaai panjaai parakindrathe

Ithuvarai thodarntha thanimai indru

Thundaai thundaai udaigirathe

Viralgal pidithu nadakkum bothu

Valigal yaavum maraikirathe

Pada padavena paranthida indru

Siragugal adada mulaikirathe

Kadakadavena kadanthida indru

Vaanavil vazhiyaa viringindrathe

Imbutu azhagaa imbutu azhagaa

Ithu vara naanum irunthathilla

Sembata thalaya sembata thalaya

Ithana pathusa sirichathilla

Manna paathu kedantha paiyan

Vaanam paathu nadanthenae

Onna paatha piraguthaanae

Puthusa satta pottu thiriyirenae

Viralgal pidithu nadakkum bothu

Valigal yaavum maraikirathe

Pada padavena paranthida indru

Siragugal adada mulaikirathe

Kadakadavena kadanthida indru

Vaanavil vazhiyaa viringindrathe

Sola kaatu bomma pola

Rusiyethu naanum kedanthene

Kudumi saamy kuthira pola

Kanavula erangi nadanthene

Kodiyil kaayum komanam kooda

Vaanavillaai therigirathe

Varanju vecha meenapola

Ninnapadi ninnapadi neenthurene

Viralgal pidithu nadakkum bothu

Valigal yaavum maraikirathe

Pada padavena paranthida indru

Siragugal adada mulaikirathe

Kadakadavena kadanthida indru

Vaanavil vazhiyaa viringindrathe

Unnai kandaal bayangal yaavum

Panjaai panjaai parakindrathe

Ithuvarai thodarntha thanimai indru

Thundaai thundaai udaigirathe

Viralgal pidithu nadakkum bothu

Valigal yaavum maraikirathe

To flutter and fly away today,

Oh, wings are sprouting on me!

To cross over in a rush today,

A rainbow opens up as a path!

When I see you, all my fears

Scatter like wisps of cotton.

The loneliness that followed me until now

Shatters into pieces today.

When I walk holding your fingers,

All my pain disappears.

To flutter and fly away today,

Oh, wings are sprouting on me!

To cross over in a rush today,

A rainbow opens up as a path!

So good-looking, this handsome,

I have never been until now.

With my sun-bleached hair, oh with my rustic hair,

I have never smiled so freshly before.

A boy who used to stare at the ground,

I now walk looking up at the sky.

Only after seeing you,

I roam around wearing brand new shirts.

When I walk holding your fingers,

All my pain disappears.

To flutter and fly away today,

Oh, wings are sprouting on me!

To cross over in a rush today,

A rainbow opens up as a path!

Like a scarecrow in a cornfield,

I just lay around without any taste for life.

Like the village deity's clay horse,

I stepped down and walked into dreams.

Even a loincloth drying on a clothesline

Looks like a rainbow to me.

Like a fish drawn on paper,

I keep swimming while standing still.

When I walk holding your fingers,

All my pain disappears.

To flutter and fly away today,

Oh, wings are sprouting on me!

To cross over in a rush today,

A rainbow opens up as a path!

When I see you, all my fears

Scatter like wisps of cotton.

The loneliness that followed me until now

Shatters into pieces today.

When I walk holding your fingers,

All my pain disappears.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning
