Salt Rain

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
