Tharunai Thaama Lyrics by Marians

We come like a whirlwind,
showing our work all around the world,
because we offered up sweet, tuneful songs,
we’re still young,
still young,
because we’re good-hearted boys…

Setting a new wave to a new rhythm,
matching words, making tunes, building songs,
winning the hearts of the boys and the girls,
we came to comfort you and bring you joy…

Marians…
still young, thirty-three strong,
and if that strength hits you, it’s a clout to the ear,
listen even a little, and you’ll laugh a lot,
your good time is our happiness…
even when you gave us the shoulder to climb the mountain,
dear audience, we love you dearly,
we know every corner of the world by heart,
one day we’ll set it all dancing…

There were never any bounds or limits for us,
we gave the joy of music to your hearts,
sing on, and let it soothe you more..

This is the Marians’ own high-spirited anthem, a band singing about being a band. It is not a love song at all, it is a joyful thank-you to their fans and a statement of who they are: a group that sweeps in like a whirlwind, carrying their music around the world, and stays still young because they keep offering up sweet, tuneful songs and, they insist, because they’re good-hearted boys.

The middle is their mission in plain terms: setting a new wave to a new rhythm, matching words, making tunes, building songs, and by doing so winning the hearts of boys and girls alike. They came, they say, simply to comfort you and bring you joy. The playful boast, still young, thirty-three strong; if that strength hits you it’s a clout to the ear; listen a little and you’ll laugh a lot, is pure good humour, the sound of a band that does not take itself too seriously.

The close turns grateful and warm. They thank the audience for the shoulder that let them climb the mountain, say they love their listeners dearly, and promise that one day they’ll set the whole world dancing. There were never any limits for them, they say; they only ever wanted to give the joy of music to people’s hearts. Sung by Nalin Perera and Shivantha Fernando, written by Kaizer Kaiz to Nalin Perera’s music, it is a big-hearted celebration of the band, their fans, and the pure fun of the music they make.
