Evano Oruvan - Alaipayuthey

Evano oruvan vaasikkiraan...

iruttil irundhu naan yaasikkiraen

thavam poal irundhu yoasikkiraen

adhai thavanai muraiyil naesikkiraen 

[Someone is playing (the flute)

and I’m enjoying it in darkness

Like a meditation I’m deep in thoughts 
and I’m enjoying it every often]

Evano oruvan vaasikkiraan...

iruttil irundhu naan yaasikkiraen (2)

thavam poal irundhu yoasikkiraen

adhai thavanai muraiyil naesikkiraen

kaettu kaettu naan kirangugiraen

kaetpadhai avanoa ariyavillai

kaattu moongilin kaadhukkullae

avan oodhum ragasiyam puriyavillai

[Someone is playing (the flute)

and I’m enjoying it in darkness

Like a meditation I’m deep in thoughts 

and I’m enjoying it every often

I get mesmerized the more I listen to it

But he doesn’t know that I’m listening

I’m not able to understand

The secrets he whispers into the woods]

Evanoa oruvan vaasikkiraan

Iruttil irundhu naan yaasikkiraen

[Someone is playing (the flute)

and I’m enjoying it in darkness]

Pullaanguzhalae poonguzhalae

neeyum naanum oru jaadhi (2)

Ullae urangum aekkaththilae

unakkum enakkum sari paadhi

kangalai varudum thaenisaiyil

en kaalam kavalai marandhiruppaen

innisai mattum illaiyenraal

naan enro enro irandhiruppaen

[Oh Flute, do you know we are of the same kind

We both have the same longingness

In the melody that passes through my eyes

I shall forget my time and sorrows

If it wasn’t for the pleasing music..

I would have died long ago]

Evano oruvan vaasikkiraan

iruttil irundhu naan yaasikkiraen

[Someone is playing (the flute)

and I’m enjoying it in darkness]

Urakkam illaa munniravil

en ul manadhil oru maarudhalaa (2)

irakkam illaa iravugalil

idhu evanoa anuppum maarudhalaa

endham soagam theervadharku

idhu poal marundhu piridhillaiyae

andha kuzhalai poal azhuvadharku

aththanai kangal enakkillaiyae

[In the middle of sleepless nights..

there is a change deep within me

In these merciless nights,

Is the stranger sending me these welcome changes

There is no better medicine for my sorrows than this

To cry like the flute.. I don’t have as many eyes as it has]

Evano oruvan vaasikkiRaan

iruttil irundhu naan yaasikkiraen (2)

[Someone is playing (the flute)

and I’m enjoying it in darkness]
