சாரல் ஆகின்ற மழை
சரம் கோர்த்துப் பெய்கின்ற மாலை
ஒரு பூவையின் இதயத்தில்
காயம் நேர்ந்ததே…
Rain that becomes a drizzle
Evening raining down like strung garlands
In a young woman's heart
A wound has occurred
மெளனம் யார் செய்த பிழை
மனம்தானே மாறாத கோழை
ஒரு பாவையின் நினைவுகள்
பாலை ஆனதே…
Whose fault is this silence?
The heart itself is an unyielding coward
A damsel's memories
Have turned into a desert
தொடு வானம் நீயெனில்
தொடும் விழிகள் நானதில்
தொடு வானம் நீயெனில்
விழிகள் நானதில்
தூரம் தான் எப்போதுமே…
If you are the horizon
The eyes touching it are mine
If you are the horizon
The eyes are mine
Distance is always there
ஓர் ஆயுள் போதாதே
என் தேடல் தீராதே…
வான் தீண்டும் என் பாடல்
என்றும் ஓயாதே…
A single lifetime is not enough
My search will not come to an end
My song that touches the sky
Will never cease
ஓர் ஆயுள் போதாதே
என் தேடல் தீராதே…
வான் தீண்டும் என் பாடல்
என்றும் ஓயாதே…
A single lifetime is not enough
My search will not come to an end
My song that touches the sky
Will never cease
சாரல் ஆகின்ற மழை
சரம் கோர்த்துப் பெய்கின்ற மாலை
ஒரு பூவையின் இதயத்தில்
காயம் நேர்ந்ததே…
Rain that becomes a drizzle
Evening raining down like strung garlands
In a young woman's heart
A wound has occurred
மெளனம் யார் செய்த பிழை
மனம்தானே மாறாத கோழை
ஒரு பாவையின் நினைவுகள்
பாலை ஆனதே…
Whose fault is this silence?
The heart itself is an unyielding coward
A damsel's memories
Have turned into a desert
மெளனம் யார் செய்த பிழை
மனம்தானே மாறாத கோழை
மெளனம் யார் செய்த பிழை
மனம்தானே மாறாத கோழை..ஹோ ஓ ஹோ ஓ ...
Whose fault is this silence?
The heart itself is an unyielding coward
Whose fault is this silence?
The heart itself is an unyielding coward
Melodic humming
என் மரகதமே இசையே மறுமையே
என் நவரசமே நகையே நளினமே
என் அதியசயமே அழகே அவனியே
என் பரவசங்கள் பகிரும் நெருக்கமே
My emerald, my music, my afterlife
My nine emotions, my smile, my elegance
My wonder, my beauty, my world
The closeness that shares my ecstasy
பாதை நூறானது…
பாதம் தேரானது
தேர்வு செய்தாலுமே
ஏன் பயணம் வேறாகுது
The paths became a hundred
The feet did not find clarity
Even after making a choice
My journey becomes different
முதல் அன்பு என்பது
உயிர் அமுதம் போன்றது
முதல் அன்பு என்பது
அமுதம் போன்றது
எந்நாளும் தீராதது
What is called first love
Is like the nectar of life
What is called first love
Is like nectar
Is endless for all time
ஓர் ஆயுள் போதாதே
என் தேடல் தீராதே…
வான் தீண்டும் என் பாடல்
என்றும் ஓயாதே…
A single lifetime is not enough
My search will not come to an end
My song that touches the sky
Will never cease
ஓர் ஆயுள் போதாதே
என் தேடல் தீராதே…
வான் தீண்டும் என் பாடல்
என்றும் ஓயாதே…
A single lifetime is not enough
My search will not come to an end
My song that touches the sky
Will never cease
சாரல் ஆகின்ற மழை

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poignant song expresses the lingering pain and enduring hope born out of unfulfilled first love. The protagonist reflects on how silence between lovers creates emotional wounds, turning lush memories into a desolate desert. Despite the distance separating them—metaphorically described as the unreachable horizon—the love and longing remain infinite and unending. The lyrics celebrate the divine nature of first love, comparing it to immortal nectar and describing the beloved using radiant imagery like emeralds, music, and elegance. Even as paths diverge and life forces different journeys, the search for connection continues beyond a single lifetime through song and memory.
