S. J. Jananiy • From “Rail”
Rail’s Poo Pookkudhu Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Rameshvaidya describes dry land turning green after rain. Jananiy voices a character overwhelmed by joy, questioning where to store such happiness.
Poo Pookuthu HaiyaiyaiyeFlowers are blooming everywhere, oh my.
Nalla Paasam VaruthuA sweet affection is blossoming within.
Koocham Tharudhu PaiyapaiyaIt’s gently making me feel shy.
Thenee Mokkira PoovulaIn the flower where the bee swarms to kiss,
Nikkura Thenula InippirukkumulaaThere’s surely a sweetness in the honey that remains.
Adha Mothamum VangikiraYou seem to absorb it all completely.
Thithippu Thainkira Puthikki ChathumillaThe sweetness pools up, leaving my mind speechless.
Poo Pookuthu HaiyaiyaiyeFlowers are blooming everywhere, oh my.
Karisa Boomi KaruvakaaduThe black soil land and the thorny forest,
Kaanju KedanthurukkuHave been lying dry and withered for so long.
Thootha PottaBut the moment the drizzle fell,
Makayanaalu VidiyankaatiiEven before the rain clouds could fully clear at dawn,
Pacha SirichirukkuThe earth has smiled back with fresh greenery.
Sola Thatta Sigarettu AttaUsing corn husks and the foil from a cigarette pack,
Kathadi SuthumullaThe little paper windmill spins around.
Adhula Vaara KathadichuDriven by the breeze that comes from it,
Solakkatu Bomma AadumullaThe scarecrow in the field dances along.
Unnaiyum Ennaya PaathuWatching both you and me,
Ondhi Mandaya AatuthuThe garden lizard nods its head in agreement.
Puniyam Paavatha MathiForgetting all about sins and virtues,
Pudhu Kangaachi KaatuthuNature is showing us a brand new exhibition.
Sochamum PaarunnuAsking us to catch a glimpse of heaven,
PichipoongaatulaRight here in this wild jasmine garden.
Poo Pookuthu PuthikullaA flower is blooming inside my mind.
Nalla Vaasam VaruthuA beautiful fragrance is wafting in.
Paasam Tharuthu Chinna PullaThis young girl is offering her affection.
Serattukulla Thenguna ThanniyaThe rainwater that stagnated in the broken coconut shell,
Seva Kudikka VarumA bird comes down to drink it.
Andha Kutti KenathukullaLooking into that tiny well,
Maanam Theriya Kandu Thekachi NikkumIt sees the sky reflected and stands there stunned.
Kodikka ChavalamThe red fruit on the creeping vine,
Kannuku ThappiEscaped our eyes until now.
Vedichu Keela VilumIt bursts open and falls to the ground.
Othapalam Sekappu ChenthuThat single fruit, turning a deep ruby red,
Manikka KolusuLooks just like a gem-studded anklet,
Singaara Kaala SuthumWaiting to circle a beautiful leg.
Ingana Angana PaathenI looked here, there, and everywhere.
Oru Thumbam TheriyalayeI couldn’t find a trace of sorrow.
Ponguna Nenjukku PaavomPity this heart that’s overflowing;
Pudhu Sontham PuriyalayeIt doesn’t quite understand this new relationship.
Imbuttu SandhosamAll this overwhelming happiness,
Enguttu Naa VakyaWhere on earth am I supposed to keep it?
Poo Pookuthu HaiyaiyaiyeFlowers are blooming everywhere, oh my.
Nalla Paasam VaruthuA sweet affection is blossoming within.
Koocham Tharudhu PaiyapaiyaIt’s gently making me feel shy.
Thenee Mokkira PoovulaIn the flower where the bee swarms to kiss,
Nikkura Thenula InippirukkumulaaThere’s surely a sweetness in the honey that remains.
Adha Mothamum VangikiraYou seem to absorb it all completely.
Thithippu Thainkira Puthikki ChathumillaThe sweetness pools up, leaving my mind speechless.
