| Male | |
| Varadhu vandha vaan mazhai | The rare rain that fell from the sky, |
| Unai nerungudho | Does it approach you? |
| Sadha sadha vadhaikudho | Does it constantly torment you? |
| Manam padhaikudho | Does your heart tremble in fear? |
| Male | |
| Podhum podhum endra podhum | Even when you say "Enough, enough", |
| Ingu por thodangudho | Does a war begin here? |
| Bodhai pola un thalai kadanthu | Like intoxication, surpassing your head, |
| Neer nirambudho | Does the water fill up and submerge you? |
| Male | |
| Meendum mazhai vizhum | Rain will fall again, |
| Dhinam ingu vaan moolgumo | Will the sky drown here every day? |
| Meendee ezhum kanam | The moment it rises back up, |
| Madai ingu thoolaagumoo | Will the floodgate crumble into dust here? |
| Male | |
| Vidamal unai vaatugindra | The relentless fire that scorches you, |
| Thee adangumo | Will that fire ever subside? |
| Theera mazhai | Unending rain, |
| Theeyaai mazhai | Rain like fire. |
| Male | |
| Oosi mazhai unai saaithathenna | Why did the needle-like rain strike you down? |
| Mullaagaveh adhu painthadhenna | Why did it pierce you like a thorn? |
| Suttrangalai suttadhenna | Why did it burn your surrounding loved ones? |
| Kadandha kaalam | The past time. |
| Male | |
| Bayantholindhu odinaal | If you run and hide in fear, |
| Payangal illaiye | There is no use or benefit. |
| Nimirndhelundhu paarvai paaru | Stand tall and look directly ahead, |
| Paavam illaye | There is no sin in doing so. |

வராது வந்த வான்மழை
உன்னை நெருங்குதோ
சதா சதாவதைக்குதோ
மனம் பதைக்குதோ
The rare rain that fell from the sky,
Does it approach you?
Does it constantly torment you?
Does your heart tremble in fear?
போதும் போதும் என்ற போதும்
இங்கு போர் தொடங்குதோ
போதை போல உன் தலை கடந்து
நீர் நிரம்புதோ
Even when you say "Enough, enough",
Does a war begin here?
Like intoxication, surpassing your head,
Does the water fill up and submerge you?
மீண்டும் மழை விழும்
தினம் இங்கு வான் மூழ் மோ
மீண்டே எழும் கணம்
மடை இங்கு தூளாகுமோ
Rain will fall again,
Will the sky drown here every day?
The moment it rises back up,
Will the floodgate crumble into dust here?
விடாமல் உன்னை வாட்டுகின்ற
தீ அடங்குமோ
தீரா மழை
தீயாய் மழை
The relentless fire that scorches you,
Will that fire ever subside?
Unending rain,
Rain like fire.
ஊசி மழை உன்னை சாய்த்ததென்ன
முள்ளாகவே அது பாய்ந்ததென்ன
சுற்றங்களை சுட்டதென்ன
கடந்த காலம்
Why did the needle-like rain strike you down?
Why did it pierce you like a thorn?
Why did it burn your surrounding loved ones?
The past time.
பயந்துஒளிந்து ஓடினால்
பயன்கள் இல்லையே
நிமிர்ந்தெழுந்து பார்வை பாரு
பாவம் இல்லையே
If you run and hide in fear,
There is no use or benefit.
Stand tall and look directly ahead,
There is no sin in doing so.
மீண்டும் மழை விழும்
தினம் இங்கு வான் மூழ்குமோ
மீண்டே எழும் கணம்
மடை இங்கு தூளாகுமோ
Rain will fall again,
Will the sky drown here every day?
The moment it rises back up,
Will the floodgate crumble into dust here?
விடாமல் உன்னை வாட்டுகின்ற
தீ அடங்குமோ
தீரா மழை
தீயாய் மழை
The relentless fire that scorches you,
Will that fire ever subside?
Unending rain,
Rain like fire.

Beyond the translation
