| Aagayam irangiya iravallava | Is this not the night when the sky descended? |
| Nam anbinil nanainthidum nilavallava | Is this not the moon soaked in our love? |
| Imaigalil inikkindra kanavallava | Is this not a dream that tastes sweet on the eyelids? |
| Ithu iranthaalum uyirkkindra uravallava | Is this not a relationship that survives even after death? |
| Female | |
| Vittu vittu iruthayam | Is the heart intermittently |
| Thudikkiratha | Beating fast? |
| Ithu innum innum vendum | Is it yearning, wanting |
| Endru thavikkiratha | More and more of this? |
| Intha thinam intha idam | On this day, in this place, |
| Unai naan konjam kolvenada | I will playfully kill you a little, my dear. |

ஆகாயம் இறங்கிய இரவல்லவா
நம் அன்பினில் நனைத்திடும் நிலவல்லவா
இமைகளில் இனிக்கின்ற கனவல்லவா
இது இருந்தாலும் உயிர்க்கின்ற உறவல்லவா
Is this not the night when the sky descended?
Is this not the moon soaked in our love?
Is this not a dream that tastes sweet on the eyelids?
Is this not a relationship that survives even after death?
விட்டு விட்டு இருதயம் துடிக்கிறதா
இது இன்னும் இன்னும் வேண்டும்
என்று தவிக்கிறதா
இந்த தினம் இந்த இடம்
உன்னை நான் கொஞ்சம் கொல்வேனடா
ஹ்ஹஹ்ம்ம்
Is the heart intermittently
Beating fast?
Is it yearning, wanting
More and more of this?
On this day, in this place,
I will playfully kill you a little, my dear.
Hmmmhaha

என்னிடம் உன் காதலை
சொல்லிவிடாமல் போய் விடு
சொல்லிவிட்டால்
இன்னும் இன்னும் வேண்டும் என்றே
தோன்றுதே
Without speaking your
Love to me,
Just leave without expressing it.
For if you say it out loud, wanting it
More and more keeps occurring.
சொல்லாமலே என் நெஞ்சிலே
உள் ஓடிடும் உணர்வுகள்
உன் பார்வையால்
நீ வாசித்தால் எல்லாமே
உன் கவிதைகள் நீ எனைவிட்டு
உரைத்து நகர்ந்தாலே போதும்
உன்னை நான் கொஞ்சம் கொல்வேனடா
Without being spoken, inside my heart
The emotions that run deep within,
If you read them through your gaze,
They all become your poetry.
ஆகாயம் இறங்கிய இரவல்லவா
நம் அன்பினில் நனைத்திடும் நிலவல்லவா
இமைகளில் இனிக்கின்ற கனவல்லவா
இது இருந்தாலும் உயிர்க்கின்ற உறவல்லவா
If you move even one step
Away from me, that is enough,
I will playfully kill you a little, my dear.
நான் வசிக்கும் இதயத்தின்
அகலத்தை கூட்டிகொள்
அங்கும் இங்கும் நகர்ந்திட இடம் உண்டா
பார்த்துக்கொள்
என் கண்ணிலே உன் இமைகள் நீ மூடினால்
தூங்குவேன்
Is this not the night when the sky descended?
Is this not the moon soaked in our love?
Is this not a dream that tastes sweet on the eyelids?
Is this not a relationship that survives even after death?
உன் கடலில் பொன் நதியாய்
எப்போதுமே தேங்குவேன்
நம் பகலுக்குள் நீளுகின்ற
பொல்லாத இரவில்
உன்னை நான் கொஞ்சம் கொல்வேனடா
Expand the width of the heart
Where I reside;
Check if there is room
To move here and there.
ஆகாயம் இறங்கிய இரவல்லவா
நம் அன்பினில் நனைத்திடும் நிலவல்லவா
இமைகளில் இனிக்கின்ற கனவல்லவா
இது இருந்தாலும் உயிர்க்கின்ற உறவல்லவா
In my eyes, if you close
Your eyelids, I will sleep.
Like a golden river in your ocean,
I will always remain immersed.
விட்டு விட்டு இருதயம் துடிக்கிறதா
இது இன்னும் இன்னும் வேண்டும்
என்று தவிக்கிறதா
இந்த தினம் இந்த இடம்
உன்னை நான் கொஞ்சம் கொல்வேனடா
ஹ்ஹஹ்ம்ம்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses a deeply passionate and intimate declaration of love. The speaker describes an overwhelming sensation of romantic bliss where nature itself seems to bend for their affection—the sky descending and the moon soaking in their warmth. She speaks of a connection so immortal that even death cannot sever it, mixed with a playful possessiveness where she threatens to 'kill' her lover with affection if he strays even a step away. Throughout the track, the lyrics highlight silent understanding and eternal closeness: reading unsaid thoughts through glances, expanding heart spaces to fit each other, and merging like a golden river into an expansive ocean. Na. Muthu Kumar's poetry paints love not just as an emotion, but as an all-consuming experience where time and distance blur.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Iyaibu (End Rhyme / Epiphora)
“Aagayam irangiya iravallava”
The rhetorical suffix '-allava' repeats at the end of consecutive lines (iravallava, nilavallava, kanavallava, uravallava), giving a poetic rhythmic questioning refrain.
Uruvagamm (Metaphor)
“Un kadalil pon nathiyaai”
The lover's heart/presence is metaphorically framed as an ocean ('Un kadalil') and the speaker's love as a golden river ('pon nathiyaai') merging into it.
Uyarvu Navitchi (Hyperbole)
“Ithu iranthaalum uyirkkindra uravallava”
Describing the sky descending to earth and a romantic bond staying alive even beyond death elevates romantic feeling to grand, cosmic proportions.
Adukkuthodar (Reduplication)
“Sollivittaal innum innum”
Words like 'innum innum' (more and more) and 'vittu vittu' (intermittently) are repeated sequentially to emphasize intensity and rhythmic urgency.
