She is leaving like drizzle carried by the wind..
She is leaving, yet leaving without wanting to leave.
She is leaving like drizzle carried by the wind..
She is leaving, yet leaving without wanting to leave.
பருவம் தொடங்கி
ஆச வச்சேன் இல்லாத
சாமிக்கும் பூச வச்சேன்
Ever since I attained youth, I longed for you,
I offered prayers even to non-existent deities.
மழையில் நனைஞ்ச
காத்த போல மனச நீயும்
நனைச்சுப்புட்ட
Like the wind drenched in cool rain..
You completely soaked my heart..
ஈரக்கொலைய கொஞ்சம்
இரவல் தாயா உன்ன மனச
கொஞ்சம் புனைய வாயா
ஏற இறங்க பார்க்கும் ரோச
காரா டீதூளு வாசம் கொண்ட
மோசக்காரா
Lend me your moist heart on loan for a while,
Or come to heal my aching, wounded heart.
Oh proud man who gazes up and down,
Oh mischievous one carrying the aroma of tea powder!
அட நெல்லாங்குருவி
ஒன்னு மனச மனச சிறு
கன்னங்குழியிலே பாத்துகிருச்சே
சின்ன சின்ன கொறத்தி பொன்னு
கண்ணு முழியத்தான் ஈச்சங்காய
ஆஞ்சிருச்சே
Ah, a paddy sparrow hid my heart,
Deep inside her tiny dimple!
The dark pupils of that little gypsy girl,
Have plucked my heart like wild palm fruit..
போறானே
போறானே காத்தோட
தூத்தலப்போல போறானே
போறானே போவாமத்தான்
போறானே போறானே
போறானே காத்தோட
தூத்தலப்போல போறானே
போறானே போவாமத்தான்
போறானே

He is leaving like drizzle carried by the wind..

கிணத்து நிலவா
நான் இருந்தேன் கல்ல
எறிஞ்சு குழப்பிப்புட்ட
I was calm like the moon reflected inside a well..
You threw a stone and stirred up my tranquility...
உன்ன பார்த்து
பேசயில ரெண்டாம்
முறையா குத்த வைச்சேன்
When I stood talking while looking at you,
I felt a second awakening of youth..
மூக்கான கவுனப்
போல உன் நினைப்பு
சீம்பாலு வாசம் போல
உன் சிரிப்பு
Thoughts of you cling like a nose ring's charm..
Your smile smells sweet like rich colostrum milk..
அடகாக்கும் கோழி
போல என் தவிப்பு பொசுக்குன்னு
பூத்திருக்கே என் பொழப்பு
My yearning is like a brooding hen sitting on eggs..
Suddenly my entire life has blossomed..
அடி மஞ்ச கிழங்கே
உன்ன நினைச்சு நினைச்சு
தினம் மனசுக்குள்ள வெச்சி
பூட்டிகிட்டேன் உன் பிஞ்சு விரல்
பதிச்ச மண்ண எடுத்து நான்
காயத்துக்கு பூசிக்கிட்டேன்
Oh golden turmeric root, thinking of you repeatedly,
I locked you safely inside my heart every single day..
I picked up the soil touched by your delicate fingers,
And smeared it over my wounds as medicine..
போறாளே போறாளே
போறாளே போறாளே
போவாமத்தான் போறாளே
She is leaving... she is leaving...
She is leaving, yet leaving without wanting to leave.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Poranae Poranae is a soulful folk-pop duet from the movie Vaagai Sooda Vaa, depicting the poignant ache of separation between two lovers in a rural setting. Through rich pastoral imagery, both lovers express how deeply they have fallen in love and how painful it is to part ways, even momentarily. The song captures rural romance using authentic country metaphors such as rain-soaked wind, hidden treasures in tree hollows, colostrum milk, and brooding hens.
