| Megam kalainthaalum | Even if the clouds disperse, |

மேகம் கலைந்தாலும்
வானம் கலையாதே
எண்ணம் கரைந்தாலும்
உன் வண்ணம் கரையாதே
Even if the clouds disperse,
The sky does not dissolve.
Even if thoughts melt away,
Your true colors do not fade.
இமைகள் ஒன்றாக தேடும் வழி
மறைந்து போனது எங்கே
சொல்ல வார்த்தைகள் சொல்லும் வழி
உணர்வுகளாய் இங்கே
காயங்கள் ஆறும் மாறும்
Where has the path disappeared
That our eyes searched for together?
The way unspoken words speak,
As deep feelings right here...
Wounds will heal and change...
ஓ......ஓ....ஓ.....ஓ.....ஓ......ஓ.....ஓ.....
ஓ......ஓ....ஓ.....ஓ.....ஓ......ஓ.....ஓ.....
Oo…oo….oo….oo….oo..oo..
Oo…oo….oo….oo….oo..oo..
தயக்கங்கள் ஏன் சொல் அன்பே
தவறிய வழிகள் கண்டேன்
என் மூச்சு காற்றே
இன்னோர் வலியை தாங்குமே
மாற்றத்தை நாம் முயன்றும் தாங்கிடுமோ
Why this hesitation, tell me my love?
I have seen the paths that went wrong.
Oh breath of my life,
Can it bear yet another pain?
Even if we try, can we endure this change?
வழி தேடும் பொழுது
விருப்பங்கள் இடம் மாறிடுமோ
விடை தேடும் வழியில்
பயணங்கள் முடிந்தோடிடுமோ
தீரா சோகம் தீராவும்....
While searching for a path,
Will our desires change their places?
On the path searching for answers,
Will our journeys come to an end?
Unending sorrow burns through the night...
ஓ......ஓ....ஓ.....ஓ.....ஓ......ஓ.....ஓ.....
ஓ......ஓ....ஓ.....ஓ.....ஓ......ஓ.....ஓ.....
Oo…oo….oo….oo….oo..oo..
Oo…oo….oo….oo….oo..oo..
Megam kalainthaalum
Even if the clouds disperse,
Vaanam kalaiyaadhae
The sky does not dissolve.
Ennam karainthaalum
Even if thoughts melt away,
Un vannam karaiyaadhae
Your true colors do not fade.
Imaigal ondraga thedum vazhi
Where has the path disappeared
Maraindhu ponadhu engae
That our eyes searched for together?
Sollaa varthaigal sollum vazhi
The way unspoken words speak,
Unarvugalaai ingae
As deep feelings right here...
Kaayangal aarum maarum…
Wounds will heal and change...
Oo…oo….oo….oo….oo..oo..
Oo…oo….oo….oo….oo..oo..
Oo…oo….oo….oo….oo..oo..
Oo…oo….oo….oo….oo..oo..
Thayakangal yen sol anbae
Why this hesitation, tell me my love?
Thavariya vazhigal kanden
I have seen the paths that went wrong.
En moochu kaatrae
Oh breath of my life,
Innor valiyai thaanguma
Can it bear yet another pain?
Maatrathai naam muyandrum thaangidumo…
Even if we try, can we endure this change?
Vazhi thedum poluthu
While searching for a path,
Virupangal idam maaridumo
Will our desires change their places?
Vidai thedum vazhiyil
On the path searching for answers,
Payanangal mudinthodidumo
Will our journeys come to an end?
Theera sogam thee raavum..
Unending sorrow burns through the night...
Oo…oo….oo….oo….oo..oo..
Oo…oo….oo….oo….oo..oo..
Oo…oo….oo….oo….oo..oo..
Oo…oo….oo….oo….oo..oo..
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song reflects a deeply emotional journey filled with heartache, vulnerability, and a longing for emotional healing. Using natural imagery—such as clouds dispersing while the permanent sky remains unchanged—it emphasizes that despite life's turbulence and fading thoughts, essential love and inner identity remain intact. The narrator questions whether their fragile spirit can sustain another heartbreak and whether their shared journey will reach a peaceful resolution. Despite the overwhelming weight of sorrow that burns through dark nights, the song holds an underlying message of resilience, assuring that time gradually heals all emotional wounds and transforms pain into acceptance.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Contrast (Ethirnnilai / Imagery)
“Megam kalainthaalum / Vaanam kalaiyaadhae”
Contrasts transient clouds dispersing ('Megam kalainthaalum') with the permanent sky remaining untouched ('Vaanam kalaiyaadhae') to symbolize temporary troubles versus enduring bonds.
Rhyme & Assonance (Emonai / Ethirai)
“Megam kalainthaalum ... Ennam karainthaalum”
Parallel structures and rhyming end-words 'kalainthaalum' and 'karainthaalum' create a melodic and mournful rhythm.
Metaphor
“En moochu kaatrae”
Addressing the beloved or life force as 'moochu kaatrae' (breath of air) highlights total emotional dependence on them for survival.
Wordplay / Imagery (Thee Raavum)
“Theera sogam thee raavum..”
'Thee' (fire/burning) combined with 'raavum' (night) paints a vivid picture of grief burning through the dark hours like a flame.
