Salt Rain Songtext
von Susheela Raman

Engulfed in darkness
You struggled and cried
Woven in a tapestry
Of violence and lies

Scandal spun on village tongues
Bind you to your shame
Weakened will and injured pride
You hide your face
You hide your face

Salt Rain falling, quiet
Your eyes are streams of sorrow
You stood silent
Why are you still silent?

[In tamil]
Ull kulla pooti vechaara?
Velicham theriyaliyaa?
Ull kulla pooti vechaara?
Irutodal kudithaara?

(Did he lock you inside? didn′t you see the light? did he lock you inside with the darkness?)


Ooru janangal pesindu pora
Maracheyaa?
Makkal mela avumanamil
Moodi maracheyaa?
Maracheyaa?

(Village people walk by gossipping, did you hide it? Ashamed of what they might think, did you hide it? Did you hide it?)

Kannil mazhe kottidhu
Nenjuthil dukkham kudithaar
Pesama Irundhen (x2)
Un sakshiyaa (x2)

(Rain falls from your eyes. gives you a sadness in your throat. i didn't speak. i didn′t speak as your witness)

Kanna tharandu paar
Pesama Irundhen (x2)

(Open your eyes and see. I didn't speak)

Salt Rain falling, quiet
Your eyes are streams of sorrow

Pesama Irundhen (x3)
Pesama
Pesama Irundhen Pesama
Pesama Irundhen Irundhen
Pesama Irundhen
Irundhen Irundhen
