ஆஅஹ் ஆஅஹ்......ஆ.....ஆ.....ஆ.....
O rain wind seen in continuous rainfall,
O lively and energetic rain wind,
Today you look at me like the vast sky.
தொடர் மழையினில் பார்த்த
துறு துறு மழை காற்றே
ஆகாயமாய் இன்று எனை பார்க்கிறாய்
Having played in the street dust,
Drizzling once every single day,
You have taken form today as a sweet drizzle.
தெரு புழுதியில் ஆடி
தினமொரு முறை தூறி
தூவானமாய் இன்று உருவாகினாய்
Endlessly, endlessly,
I walk along the street where I once wandered.
With shoulder resting against shoulder,
I become an innocent child.
தீராமல் தீராமல்
அலைந்த தெருவில் போகிறேன்
தோள் மீது தோள் சேர்ந்து
மழலை ஆகிறேன்
Unendingly, unendingly,
I live life over and over again.
Are you truly the same person I once saw?
I am overwhelmed with wonder.
தீராமல் தீராமல்
திரும்ப திரும்ப வாழ்கிறேன்
ஆண் பார்த்த நீதானா
வியந்து போகிறேன்
O rain wind seen in continuous rainfall,
O lively and energetic rain wind,
Today you look at me like the vast sky.
தொடர் மழையினில் பார்த்த
துறு துறு மழை காற்றே
ஆகாயமாய் இன்று எனை பார்க்கிறாய்
Having played in the street dust,
Drizzling once every single day,
You have taken form today as a sweet drizzle.
தெரு புழுதியில் ஆடி
தினமொரு முறை தூறி
தூவானமாய் இன்று உருவாகினாய்
On yesterday's tender stem,
The flower swaying today,
Speaks an unfolding endless story,
And captivates me.
நேற்றின் காம்பில்
ஆடும் பூவின்று
நீளும் கதை பேசி
ஈர்கின்றதே
With damp, un-dried
Tresses of long hair,
As she comes close to me,
My body shivers with delight.
ஈரம் போகா
கூந்தல் முடியோடே
அருகில் வந்தாலே
சிலிக்கின்றதே
Words left unspoken
Describe everything about you.
Into an endless trance,
It draws me completely.
பேசாத வார்த்தைகள்
உன்னை கூறுதே
மாலத மாயயைக்குள்
எனை சேர்க்குதே
Endlessly, endlessly,
I walk along the street where I once wandered.
With shoulder resting against shoulder,
I become an innocent child.
தீராமல் தீராமல்
அலைந்த தெருவில் போகிறேன்
தோள் மீது தோள் சேர்ந்து
மழலை ஆகிறேன்
Unendingly, unendingly,
I live life over and over again.
Are you truly the same person I once saw?
I am overwhelmed with wonder.
தீராமல் தீராமல்
திரும்ப திரும்ப வாழ்கிறேன்
ஆண் பார்த்த நீதானா
வியந்து போகிறேன்
O rain wind seen in continuous rainfall,
O lively and energetic rain wind,
Today you look at me like the vast sky.
தொடர் மழையினில் பார்த்த
துறு துறு மழை காற்றே
ஆகாயமாய் இன்று எனை பார்க்கிறாய்
Having played in the street dust,
Drizzling once every single day,
You have taken form today as a sweet drizzle.
