சாரல் என் அடியே
என் ஜன்னல் உடைகிறது
சாரல் என் அடியே என்
ஜன்னல் உடைகிறது
தூரல் என் அடியே என்
கனவை கலைக்கிறது
O drizzle, my dear
It breaks my window pane
O drizzle, my dear
It breaks my window pane
O light shower, my dear
It shatters my dream
கொல்லாமல்
கொல்லாமல் கொன்றாய்
இல்லாமல் இல்லாமல்
சென்றாய் கொல்லாமல்
கொல்லாமல் கொன்றாய்
இல்லாமல் இல்லாமல்
சென்றாய்
You killed me without actually killing me
You vanished into nothingness and left
You killed me without actually killing me
You vanished into nothingness and left
சாரலா தூரலா
என் உயிரை நனைத்தவளே
புயலாய் நான் மாறி
போவது ஏனடி
Is it a drizzle or a shower?
Oh girl who drenched my soul
Transforming into a storm myself
Why am I going away, my dear?
விழியே விழியே
விழியே வேண்டாம் ஒரு
கோவ பார்வை தவியாய்
தவியாய் தவித்தேன்
விழியே
O eyes, O eyes, O eyes
Do not give me an angry glare
In deep agony, in deep agony
I suffered, O eyes
மனமே மனமே
தீயாய் கொதிக்கும் ஒரு
காய்ச்சல் போல பிரிவின்
வலியோ தோணுது உயிரே
O heart, O heart
Boiling like fire
Like a intense fever
The pain of separation pierces my soul

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song captures the intense grief and inner turmoil of a lover enduring the pain of separation. Rain, traditionally a symbol of love and romance, instead acts as a trigger that shatters his dreams and peace. He feels tormented by the memory of the woman who drenched his soul with love, comparing his emotional angst to a boiling fever and a rising storm.
