Thenmerku Paruvakaatru song from Karuthamma (Tamil) – Lyrics in English with Translation

Thenmerku Paruvakaatru

Thenipakkam Veesum Pothu Saaral Inbachaaral

When southwest monsoon breeze blows

In *Theni (a place) side,

A drizzle, a pleasant drizzle

Themmaangu Paadikondu Silusiluvendru

Sindhudhamma Thooral Muthu Thooral

Playing a melodious tune

It’s pouring, pouring as pearls

Venkaatu Pakkakalli Sattendru Mottuvida

Senkaatu Sillichedi Chillendru Pooveduka (F)

Cactus of the forest buds suddenly

Leafless plants of the forest blossoms suddenly

Thenmerku Paruvakaatru

Thenipakkam Veesum Pothu Saaral Inbachaaral

In *Theni side,

A drizzle, a pleasant drizzle

Themmaangu Paadikondu Silusiluvendru

The tunes not in lullabies

Am listening in your praising songs

Mazhaithuli Enna Thavam Dhaan Seithadho

Malar Konda Maarbodu Thotaadudhae(M)

What penance has been done by raindrops

Is dancing in the flowering bosom, touching it

Mazhai Thuli Thotta Idam Nee Theendavo

Ninaikaiyil Ulloora Kalloorudhae (F)

Are you touching the place,

Where raindrop touched?

By thinking I get goosebumps

A part of rainbow has fallen on earth

Without telling anyone, became woman
