ஆகயம் அம்புட்டையும்
அள்ளிக்குதே மனசு தான்
அம்புலிங்க கூட்டத்துக்குள்
அலையுதே வயசு தான்
The entire sky,
The heart gathers it all up.
Inside this enclosure of men,
Youth wanders restlessly.
நாடோடி தான்
காடோடி தான்
கூடு வந்து சேர்ந்ததிந்த
ரெட்டகிளி தான்
ஒண்ணுகொன்னு பேசுதிங்கே
காதல் மொழி தான்
Just a nomad,
Roving through the forests,
Has reached its nest, this
Pair of parrots.
Speaking to each other here,
In the language of love.
ஆகயம் அம்புட்டையும்
அள்ளிக்குதே மனசு தான்
The entire sky,
The heart gathers it all up.
மரப்பாச்சி
பொம்மையபோலத்தான் ரெண்டும்
மல்லந்து வானம் பாக்குதே அழகா
வெள்ளந்தி வெளையும் மனசுல தான்
காதல்
வேர்விட்டு அழகாய் பூக்குதே மெதுவா
Like wooden
Dolls, both of them
Lying on their backs looking at the sky beautifully.
Even in innocent times, in the heart,
Love
Takes root and blossoms beautifully and slowly.
பேர் சொல்ல தெரியாத சொந்தம் இது
பிழை என்று பிரியத்தை யார் சொல்வது
கடலோடு கதையாடி
கண்ணீரில் புறையோடி
கரை சேர்ந்த மிச்சம் உயிர் தான்
This is a bond whose name is unknown,
Who can call this affection a mistake?
Talking with the sea,
Choking on tears,
Only the remaining soul reached the shore.
கண்ணுக்குள்ள நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள கள்ளம் இல்ல
ஓ ஓ ஓஓஓ
என்ன புள்ள சொன்ன புள்ள தூக்கம் இல்ல
ஓ ஓ ஓஓஓ
There is no deceit in the eyes or in the heart,
Oo oo ooo
What dear girl, my dear girl, there is no sorrow,
Oo oo ooo
ஆகயம் அம்புட்டையும்
அள்ளிக்குதே மனசு தான்
The entire sky,
The heart gathers it all up.
ஏய் வழி தேடி போகிற வழி எல்லாம்
காதல்
வழி காட்டி மரமாய் வருகிறதே எங்கும்
நிலமற்ற நிலத்தில் நின்றாலும்
காதல்
நீங்காத நிழலை தருகிறதே இங்கு
Hey, along all the paths searched for a way,
Love
Appears everywhere as a guiding tree.
Even when standing on landless ground,
Love
Gives an indelible shadow even here.
ராவண தேசத்து ராஜா ராணி
பரிவாரம் இல்லாமல் வருதே பவனி
தாய் மண்ணின் சொந்தம் தான்
தாயோடு போனாலும்
தாயாக தாங்கும் காதல் தான்
King and Queen of Ravana's land,
Proceeding in procession without a royal retinue.
Even if the bond with the motherland
Goes away along with the mother,
Love supports and protects like a mother.
கண்ணுக்குள்ள நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள கள்ளம் இல்ல
ஓ ஓ ஓஓஓ
என்ன புள்ள சொன்ன புள்ள தூக்கம் இல்ல

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Aagayam ambuttaiyum from the movie Freedom (2025) paints a poignant, emotional portrait of two displaced souls who find solace, love, and home in each other amidst adversity. Describing themselves as wandering birds, innocent wooden dolls, or royalty without a kingdom from Ravana's land (referencing Sri Lankan Tamil roots), the couple leans on their pure affection to survive immense grief and displacement. Love acts as a guiding tree, a persistent shadow, and a motherly shield when everything else is lost. Sung soulfuly by Pradeep Kumar with lyrics by Snehan, the song celebrates guileless devotion that heals deep trauma.
