Joining my name with yours,
Interlocking fingers, weaving our souls together,
In front of the whole town,
What if we walk together?
My heart is on fire,
You are everywhere within me.
Even when I close my eyes,
You stand before me.
Don't smile, don't smile,
Don't enchant me with your smile!
Don't strike me, don't strike me,
Don't strike me with your beauty!
Don't you know how to drench me,
O pouring rain?
Don't you know how to get drenched,
O umbrella of flowers?
Don't you know how to hide,
O daytime moon?
Don't you know who I am,
O beautiful girl?
Don't you know how to drench me,
O pouring rain?
Don't you know how to get drenched,
O umbrella of flowers?
Don't you know how to hide,
O daytime moon?
Don't you know who I am?
Joining my name with yours,
Interlocking fingers, weaving our souls together,
In front of the whole town,
What if we walk together?
Opening my heart, speaking only the truth,
I want to talk with you.
Gathering all the love you ask for,
I want to shower it over you.
The one dream that I hold,
I want to whisper in your ear.
Losing control and falling for you,
I must stop myself.
No, it shouldn't happen, it shouldn't happen,
This day must not come to an end!
Don't go, don't go,
Don't walk past me and leave!
Don't come closer, don't come closer,
My heart cannot bear it!
Don't open, don't open,
Don't open up my inner heart!
Don't you know how to drench me,
O pouring rain?
Don't you know how to get drenched,
O umbrella of flowers?
Don't you know how to hide,
O daytime moon?
Don't you know who I am,
O beautiful girl?
Don't you know how to drench me,
O pouring rain?
Don't you know how to get drenched,
O umbrella of flowers?
Don't you know how to hide,
O daytime moon?
Don't you know who I am?
Aaaa... aa... aa...
Joining my name with yours,
Interlocking fingers, weaving our souls together,
In front of the whole town,
What if we walk together?

Adukkuthodar (Repetition / Anaphora)

Sirikaadhae sirikaadhae

Paradox / Oxymoron

Nanaika theriyadha Adai mazhaiyae

Juxtaposing impossible natural phenomena like 'a heavy downpour that doesn't know how to drench' and 'a daytime moon' to symbolize mysterious, elusive love.

En nenjam theeyae

Comparing the heart directly to fire ('En nenjam theeyae') to depict burning passion and intensity.
