Rain, rain, rain, rain,
go, go, go, go,
do not hurt my flower,
go away, go away!
Rain, rain, rain, rain,
go, go, go, go,
do not hurt my little flower,
go away, go away!
Coolly and softly,
you shower inside my heart... oh!
With flashes of lightning within,
what are you doing to me? Oh!
Desire leaps like a wave,
turns into rain and sprinkles down.
Is this a thirst upon the lips?
Is this the hour of love?
Rain, rain, rain, rain,
go, go, go, go,
do not hurt my flower,
go away, go away!
Rain, rain, rain, rain,
go, go, go, go,
do not hurt my little flower,
go away, go away!
Nana naan nana
Naan naa naa...
Nana nana nana nana
Naa...
In fluttering eyes,
you open up and flutter!
Distances turn to dust!
In open spaces of new pleasure,
you roam around like a storm!
The paths become familiar!
I thought love would pass
without leaving a wound,
but as it pulled me in like a force,
I held your hands.
Not a single part of me
is left dry,
all drenched in the rain
pouring from... your... lips!
Rain, rain, rain, rain,
go, go, go, go,
do not hurt my flower,
go away, go away!
Rain, rain, rain, rain,
go, go, go, go,
do not hurt my little flower,
go away, go away!
Will your soul melt?
Will it come and reach me?
Will hand unite with hand?
Will you enter through the eyes?
Will you overflow in my heart?
Will my whole life become you?
Untouched by your breath until this day,
I lived as a wretched soul!
As the warmth of your breath
touches me again and again,
I dissolve into vapor!
This is enough; having lived
and felt this joy
striking over me,
this is... the end of... the world!
Coolly and softly,
you shower inside my heart... oh!
With flashes of lightning within,
what are you doing to me? Oh!
Desire leaps like a wave,
turns into rain and sprinkles down.
Is this a thirst upon the lips?
Is this the hour of love?
Rain, rain, rain, rain,
go, go, go, go,
do not hurt my flower,
go away, go away!
Rain, rain, rain, rain,
go, go, go, go,
do not hurt my little flower,
go away, go away!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Adukku Thodar (Repetition)

Sillendru sillendru

Endhan poovai nee kuthadhae po po

Comparing the delicate lover/heart to a flower ('Endhan poovai') that should not be harmed by heavy rain drops.

Iyaibu (End Rhyme)

Unathuyir karaiyuma / Ennai vandhu adaiyuma / Kaiyodu kai seruma

Lines ending with the rhyming suffix '-uma' (karaiyuma, adaiyuma, seruma, nuzhayuma, vazhiyumaa) creating a harmonious flow.
