To listen to the song, click play:

Chil chinchilamaayi chinchilamaayi chil mazha nee
Rim rimchimamai rimchimamai nool mazha nee
[Falling with jingling sound, you, glassy beads of rain
Drizzling and drizzling, you, thread of rain]
Kaatala chinniya poomazha nee
Kanninu kanninu venmazha nee
[Wind scattered, you beautiful rain
A pretty sight for all eyes, you pure rain]
Kaathinu kaathinu then mazha nee, ennume
[Sweet sounding for all ears, you rain, always]

Chil chinchilamaayi chinchilamaayi chil mazha nee
Rim rimchimamai rimchimamai nool mazha nee
[Falling with jingling sound, you, glassy beads of rain
Drizzling and drizzling, you, thread of rain]

Akkare ninnu parannu varunnoru maalaakha nee
Othiri othiri muthukalulloru chelanu nee
[You are an angel who came flying from the other world
You are a beauty with so many pearls]
Vinnile megham alinju vilambiya neerthulli nee
Mannilum ennilum innu thulumbiya neerdhara nee
[You are a water drop which the sky was kind to serve
You are the stream which overflowed on the earth and in me]
Ippozhum nenjile thalirorma nee alle?
Eppozhum maarile thanuvaai nee ille?
[Aren’t you the small memory in my heart still?
Aren’t you always there with me as a pleasant chill in my heart?]
Nee kinginikal monjaniyum konjalukal
[Your tassels bloom into cuteness]

Chil chinchilamaayi chinchilamaayi chil mazha nee
[Falling with jingling sound, you, glassy beads of rain]

Maalakhalaayilameni puthanjoru pookaari nee
Maanasa veenayilumma tharunniru paattu aanu nee
[With flower chains you cover bodies, like a flowergirl
You are the song which kisses the veena in my heart]
Ullil urummi urummi irunnoru praavaanu nee
Thoovalu kondu thalodum enikkoru kootu aanu nee
[You are the dove which rubs in my heart
You give company to me caressing me with feathers]
Vannitha vannitha kulir chanthamode nee
Thannitha thannitha kulir kaalam aere nee
[Here you come with chilly beauty
Offering pleasantly cold days]
Ennile ormakalil marmaramai nin chirikal
[Your laughs rustle in my memories]

Chil chinchilamaayi chinchilamaayi chil mazha nee
Rim rimchimamai rimchimamai nool mazha nee
[Falling with jingling sound, you, glassy beads of rain
Drizzling and drizzling, you, thread of rain]
Kaatala chinniya poomazha nee
Kanninu kanninu venmazha nee
[Wind scattered, you beautiful rain
A pretty sight for all eyes, you pure rain]
Kaathinu kaathinu then mazha nee, ennume
[Sweet sounding for all ears, you rain, always]
