காற்றே இளம் காற்றே
இசையாக வருவாயா
தொலை தூரம் சில காலம்
இவள் காதில் மெல்ல
O wind, gentle breeze
Will you come as music?
Faraway distance for a short time
Softly in her ears
பூவே வெண் பூவே
புதிதாக மலர்வாயா
இவள் கூந்தல் மழை மேகம்
அதில் நீந்தி செல்ல
O flower, white flower
Will you bloom anew?
Her hair is like a rain cloud
To swim through it
ஒரு காதல் ஒரு நேசம் இது
உயிர் கூட்டில் ஒரு சுவாசம்
புது வானம் பல தேசம் செல்வோமே
அன்பே வா.....
This is a love, an affection
A breath in the cage of life
Shall we go to a new sky and many lands?
Come, my love...
பகல் இரவாய் கண் விழித்திடவா
உனதருகே நான் பிழைத்திடவா
யுக யுகமும் ஒரு நொடிதான் இன்றே
இதயமெல்லாம் நீ நிறைந்திடவா
உனதுயிராய் இருந்திடவா
உடை கலைவாய் என்னை அடைவாய்
Shall I stay awake through day and night?
Shall I survive near you?
Eras upon eras seem like a single second today
Come fill my entire heart
Shall I remain as your life?
Shed your attire and attain me
ஜன்னல் வந்த நிலவே
கண்ணில் நின்ற கனவே
மஞ்சம் சேர்ந்த உறவே
நம்மில் இல்லை பிரிவே
O moon that came through the window
O dream that stood before my eyes
O relation that joined on the couch
There is no separation between us
அணை தாண்டும் வெள்ளத்தில்
என் கண்ணில் கட்டி வைத்தேன்
அணையாத தீபம் போல்
உனை நெஞ்சில் ஏற்றி கொண்டேன்
The flood overflowing the dam
I have restrained in my eyes
Like an unextinguished lamp
I have lit you in my heart
என் ஜீவன் தருவேன்
உயிர் ஒளி நீ அணைவதில்லை
மறைவதில்லை......ஆஅ.......ஆ......
I will give my life
You are the light of life that never dims
Never fading... ah... ah...
காற்றே இளம் காற்றே
இசையாக வருவாயா
தொலை தூரம் சில காலம்
இவள் காதில் மெல்ல
O wind, gentle breeze
Will you come as music?
Faraway distance for a short time
Softly in her ears
பூவே வெண் பூவே
புதிதாக மலர்வாயா
இவள் கூந்தல் மழை மேகம்
அதில் நீந்தி செல்ல
O flower, white flower
Will you bloom anew?
Her hair is like a rain cloud
To swim through it

உயிர் கூட்டில் ஒரு சுவாசம்

Ival koondhal mazhai megam
Her hair is like a rain cloud
Adhil neendhi sella

Come fill my entire heart
Unadhuyirai irunthidava
Shall I remain as your life?
Udai kalaivai ennai adaivai
Shed your attire and attain me
Jannal vandha nilavae
O moon that came through the window
Kannil nindra kanavae
O dream that stood before my eyes
Manjam serndha uravae
O relation that joined on the couch
Nammil illai pirivae
There is no separation between us
Anai thaandum vellathai
The flood overflowing the dam
En kannil katti vaithen
I have restrained in my eyes
Anaiyadha deebam pol
Like an unextinguished lamp
Unai nenjil yetri konden
I have lit you in my heart
En jeevan tharuven
I will give my life
Uyir ozhi nee anaivathillai
You are the light of life that never dims
Maraivathillai…aaa…aaa
Never fading... ah... ah...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Maraigirai is a soulful Tamil romantic song expressing profound devotion, tender intimacy, and the eternal bond between lovers. The lyrics invoke elements of nature—comparing the beloved's presence to a soothing breeze, blooming flowers, and rain clouds—wishing for an endless journey together across new skies and lands. The song captures the height of romantic passion where time compresses—eras feel like single seconds—and deep emotions held back inside overflow like a flood. Love is celebrated as an unextinguished flame in the heart, a light of life that never dims or fades away.
