Oh saara saara kaatrae
O gentle drizzling breeze,
O gentle drizzling breeze,
O gentle drizzling breeze,
A spring of joy overflows!
O gentle drizzling breeze,
A ray of happiness showers love!
As both your eyes swiftly
sprinkle sweetness like honey,
the lifeline on my palm gets drenched!
As both our fluttering hands
hold each other tenderly,
a garland falls upon our shoulders!
An innocent heart, pure white like milk,
blushes red with love!
The slightly overcast sky,
as soon as it sees your beauty,
shines with a flash of light!
{Dhinadhuk thagida
Dhinadhuk thagida
Thaane thaane thaana
Thaane dhinadhuk thagida
Dhinadhuk thagida
Thaane naana naa} (2)
Oh, gentle drizzling breeze,
a spring of joy overflows!
O gentle drizzling breeze,
a ray of happiness showers love!
Hey yea...
Is it the music of the Yazh (ancient Tamil harp) and the seven notes
that flows in your voice?
Is coming close and looking at you
what heaven truly is?
The countless millions of blessings
that even God forgot to give...
Love has boldly gathered and given them all,
can words ever do justice to it?
Thinking of you, my mind
plays a playful game of tag!
As a brand new shyness sneaks in,
the way I walk begins to change!
Forgetting day and night,
so that our bond may last forever,
my love, you have come to me!
O gentle drizzling breeze,
a spring of joy overflows!
O gentle drizzling breeze,
a ray of happiness showers love!
As the cool, gentle breeze
brings a pleasant warmth,
every cell in my soul sways on a golden swing!
As the comforting warm sun sings a lullaby,
my desires dive into the pouring rain!
Like a hundred thousand birds,
my heart floats away!
The slightly overcast sky,
as soon as it sees your beauty,
shines with a flash of light!
Dhinadhuk thagida
Dhinadhuk thagida
Thaane thaane thaana
Thaane dhinadhuk thagida
Dhinadhuk thagida
Thaane naana naa
Hey hey, dhinadhuk thagida
Dhinadhuk thagida
Thaane thaane thaana
Thaane dhinadhuk thagida
Dhinadhuk thagida
Thaane naana naa
Oh, gentle drizzling breeze...
