Rathiriyil Poothirukkum Song Lyrics English Translation - Thangamagan (Tamil)
Raathiriyil poothirukkum
It blooms in the night
Thaamarai thaan penno
Only the lotus embodies womanhood
Rajasugam thedhivara
In pursuit of regal delight
Thudhuvidum kanno, Selai cholaiye
Oh, soothing eyes of mine, O gentle cascade
Paruvasugam thaedum maalaiye
O evening in search of tender bliss
Selai solaiyey
O graceful garden
Paruvasugam thedum maalaiye
O evening that seeks gentle pleasure
Pagalum urangidum
Even the day drifts into sleep
Raathiriyil poothirukkum
It blooms in the night
Thamarayi than penno
Only the lotus embodies womanhood
Rajasugam thedivara
In pursuit of regal delight
Thoodhuvidum kanno
Oh, soothing eyes of mine
Ha.. aa.. aa..
Veenai yenum maeniyilae
In the soft melody of the veena,
Thanthiyinai meethum
your gentle caress lingers,
Kay viralil oru vegam
a swift passion unfolds in our clasped hands,
Kan asaivil oru baavam
and a burning desire kindles in our gaze.
Vaanulagae boomiyilae
Across the skies and earth,
Vanthhathu pol kaattum
it appears as if in arrival,
Vaanulagae boomiyilae
across the skies and earth,
Vanthathu pol kaattum
it reveals itself in a tender display,
Jeeva nadhi nenjinilae
in the river of life, within the heart,
Aadum odum modhum
the rhythm dances in sweet flow,
Pudhiya anubavam
ushering in a new experience.
Rathiriyil Poothirukkum
It blooms in the night
Thaamarai thaan penno
Only the lotus embodies womanhood
Raajasugam thedivara
In pursuit of regal delight
Thoodhuvidum kanno
Oh, soothing eyes of mine
Ha.. aa.. aa..
Maanganigal thottililaey
In the cradle of peacocks,
Thoonguthadi angey
where slumber gently settles,
Mannavanin pasi aara
the king’s desire finds its solace,
Maalaiyile parimara
measured in the twilight.
Vazhai ilai neer thelithoo
The banana leaf glistens with dew,
Podadi en kannae
oh, my dazzling beloved,
Vazhai ilai neer thelithu
The banana leaf glistens with dew,
Podadi en kanney
oh, my dazzling beloved,
Naadhasvaram udhum varai
as the notes of melody flow,
Nenjam innum konjam
the heart lingers a while,
Porumai avasiyam
patience becomes essential.
Raathiriyil poothirukkum
It blooms in the night
Thaamarai thaan penno
Only the lotus embodies womanhood
Rajasugam thedivara
In pursuit of regal delight
Thoodhuvidum kanno
Oh, soothing eyes of mine
Selai cholaiye
O gentle cascade
Paruvasugam thaedum malaiye
O evening in search of tender bliss
Selai solaiye
O graceful garden
Paruvasugam thedum malaiye
O evening that seeks gentle pleasure
Pagalum urangidum
Even the day drifts into sleep
Rathiriyil Poothirukkum Thaamarai thaan penno
It blooms in the night only the lotus embodies womanhood
Rajasugam thedivara Thoodhuvidum kanno
In pursuit of regal delight, oh, soothing eyes of mine
Rajasugam thedivara Thoodhuvidum kanno
In pursuit of regal delight, oh, soothing eyes of mine
