Got the inspiration from one of the blogs I regularly visit:

Thanks a lot, RS!
So, here goes...take a shot...and yes, guesses in comments...
A young moon is raining its love
and drenching us to the soul
The strolling clouds witness this vision
The immense sky, a carnival, beholds
On her way,
in the mist,
daily the maiden moon bathes
She picks up the bamboo
to caress her face
and into the dawn, sashays
The eyes of the damsel
On fantasies dwell!
Why do the clouds wander?
Have they lost their goal?
Having lost the abode,
They do weep -a downpour!
Silver boats in a blue sky,
They show off so, but why?
Sky studded with precious stones!
By whom are they sown?
I hope the translation does not smudge the beauty of this Tamil song.
