Aathaa Adikayilae Lyrics Translation (from “Thenmerku Paruvakaatru”)

Harini sings A basket of flowers showered over my heart turning a literal bloom into a heart lift. She pairs the image of a thumbai blooming on dry rock, a tiny white flower that offers damp affection. Vairamuthu writes how a gentle presence forces the heart to pour its life force through the eyes.

Aaththa AdikkaiyilaWhen that blow struck me,
Ada Anga Inga ValikkalaiyeIt didn’t hurt me here or there at all.
Nee Odi Vanthu ThadukkaiyilaBut when you came rushing to my side,
Nenjil Oru Kooda Poo KottutheIt felt like a basket of flowers showered over my heart.
Sukyan ParaiyilaOn a patch of dry, barren rock,
Oru Thumba Chedi PooththathupolLike a small, white ‘thumbai’ flower has bloomed,
Yetho ManasukkullaSomething deep inside my soul,
Oru Eera Pasa ThattupadutheMakes me feel the damp touch of affection.
En Kannu MunnaRight before my very eyes,
Nenju VelangutheMy heart is revealing itself.
En Kannu VazhiyeAnd through my eyes,
Usur OzhugutheMy very life force feels like it’s pouring out.
Ithu NallathukkaIs this for my own good?
Illa KettathukkaOr is this for the worse?
Nenju Pogum Vazhi PonaIf I follow the path my heart takes,
PozhappirukkaWill there be a future left for me?
