இப்போது அள்ளிவந்து
வண்ணங்களை எங்கள்
நெஞ்சில் நீ தூவு சின்னப்
பறவைகள் கொஞ்சிப்
பறக்குதே பட்டுச் சிறகிலே
பனி தெளிக்குதே அடி தாய்த்
தென்றலே வந்து நீ பாடு
ஆராரோ ஓ ஓ

நம்மை தொடுமா தேசம்
எது பாா்த்துவிட்டு மண்ணில்
மழை வருமா உன்னோடு நானும்
எல்லோரும் ஓர் சொந்தம்
அன்புள்ள உள்ளத்திலே
Little birds
Are flying affectionately
On silk wings
Dewdrops are sprinkling
Oh motherly breeze
Come and sing
Lullaby.. aaraaroooo..

மேக மூட்டம்
கொஞ்சம் விலகவே
வண்ண நிலவு கண்டேன்
அன்பு பொழியும் கருணை
வெள்ளத்தில் நெஞ்சம் மூழ்க
நின்றேன் உன்னை போலே
சிலர் இருந்தால் மண்ணில்
சொர்கம் வருமே இயற்கை
அன்னை படைத்ததெல்லாம்
பொதுவினில் வருமே மூங்கில்
காடெல்லாம் சங்கீதம் பாடாதோ
தென்றலின் சொர்கத்திலே
Hmmmm…mmmm…
La..lala…lalalaa…

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Vaanavillae' is a soulful and uplifting song from the 2002 Tamil movie Ramanaa. The song uses nature—the rainbow, cuckoos, parrots, rain, and breeze—as a metaphor for universal love, harmony, and equality. It emphasizes that natural forces do not discriminate based on caste, nation, or boundary, and suggests that humanity should live with the same selfless warmth and unity. The lyrics praise a compassionate soul whose presence brings joy and colors into people's lives, comparing them to a rainbow that brightens up overcast skies. Through poetic imagery of motherly breezes, singing bamboo forests, and sweet birdsong, the song delivers a gentle message about universal brotherhood and human kindness.
