Senthoora Poove Song from 16 Vayathinile (Tamil) – Lyrics in English with Translation

Senthoora poovae

Senthoora poovae

Senthoora poovae jilendra kaatrae

Saffron flower…

Saffron flower…

Happy wind…

En mannan engae en mannan engae

Nee konjam sollaayo

Where is my man?

Where is my man?

Can you please tell me?

Senthoora poovae

Senthoora poovae jilendra kaatrae

Saffron flower…

Saffron flower…

Happy wind…

En mannan engae en mannan engae

Nee konjam sollaayo

Where is my man?

Where is my man?

Can you please tell me?

Senthoora poovae

Saffron flower…

 

Thendralai thoothu vittu

Oru sethiku kaathirupen

Sending breeze as messenger

I shall wait for some message

Kangalai moodavituu indha-

Kanavinil naan mithapen

Allowing my eyes to close

I will float in thoughts

Kanni paruvathin

Vanna kanavithuvae

This is the colourful dream of a teen

Ennai izhukuthu

Andha ninaivathuvae

& Those thoughts are dragging me

Vanna poovae thendral kaatrae

Ennai thedi sugam varumo

Hey colourful flower,

Hey breeze

Will happiness come in search of me?

Senthoora poovae

Senthoora poovae

Senthoora poovae jilendra kaatrae

Saffron flower…

Saffron flower…

Happy wind…

En mannan engae en mannan engae

Nee konjam sollaayo

Where is my man?

Where is my man?

Can you please tell me?

Senthoora poovae

Saffron flower…

 

Neela karunguyilae

Thennanjolai kuruvigalae

Hey blue cuckoo

Hey sparrows under shady trees

Kolamidum mayilae

Nalla gaana paravaigalae

Hey peacock drawing *Kolam

Hey birds which sing good,

Maalai varum

Andha naalai uraithidungal

Wake up the day

That’s coming in the evening

Saalai vazhi engum

Poovai iraithidungal

Throughout the path,

Spread flowers

Vanna poovae thendral kaatrae

Ennai thedi sugam varumo

Hey colourful flower,

Hey breeze

Will happiness come in search of me?

Senthoora poovae

Senthoora poovae

Senthoora poovae jilendra kaatrae

Saffron flower…

Saffron flower…

Happy wind…

En mannan engae en mannan engae

Nee konjam sollaayo

Where is my man?

Where is my man?

Can you please tell me?

Senthoora poovae, senthoora poovae

Saffron flower…

Saffron flower…
