நன நான் நன
நான் நா நா நன நன
நன நன நா
In fluttering eyes
You unfurl restlessly
Distances turn into dust
பட பட விழிகளில்
படப் பட விரிகிறாய்
தூரங்கள் தூளாகுதே
In new spaces of bliss
You roam like a storm
Paths become familiar
புது சுக வெளிகளில்
புயலெனத் திரிகிறாய்
பாதைகள் பாழாகுதே
Love as an unhealing wound
I watched it fade away
Turning into a force to draw me in
I too held hands with you
நிகழாத காயம்
ஆக காதல் போகும் என்று
பார்த்தேன் விசையாக மாறி
என்னை ஈர்க்க நானும் கைகள்
கோர்த்தேன்
Unsoaked part
There is none
Everything is yours
In the rain... pouring... from your lips
நனையாத பாகம்
ஏதுமில்லை யாவும் உந்தன்
இதழில் பொழியும் மழையில்
Rain rain rain rain

Do not pierce my flower
Go away, go away

Will it enter through the eyes?

உனதுயிர் கரையுமா
எனை வந்து அடையுமா
கையோடு கை சேருமா
Until today, your breath
I became a sinner who had not touched it
The warmth of your breath
As it touches me again and again
I turned into vapor
விழி வழி நுழையுமா
இதயத்தில் வழியுமா
வாழ்வே நீ என்றாகுமா
This is enough, having lived
and seen, joy
Attacks me
This is... the end... of the world
இது நாள் வரை
உன் சுவாசம் தீண்டிடாத
பாவி ஆனேன் உந்தன்
மூச்சின் வெப்பம் தீண்ட
தீண்ட ஆவியாகிப் போனேன்
Chilly and cool
You rain inside my heart.. hai
Lightnings inside me
What all are you doing to me.. hai
இது போதும்
வாழ்ந்து பார்த்து
இன்பம் தாக்குதென்னை
இதுவே உலகின் முடிவு
Desire leaps forward like a wave
Transforming into rain and showering
Is there a thirst upon the lips?
Is this the time for love?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This track cleverly adapts the childhood nursery rhyme 'Rain Rain Go Away' into a playful, passionate romantic song. The protagonist uses rain and storm imagery to describe the sudden wave of love and physical affection washing over them, asking the cold rain not to hurt their fragile, flower-like heart while embracing the warmth of their lover's presence.
