Today is the very beginning,
with no experience at all... Ah... ah... aah... ah... aah... ah...
Today is the very beginning,
with no experience at all...
Yet your eyes send a message of pure joy,
a message your eyes convey.
Your playful eyes put on a show and tease gently,
while your walking feet hesitate to take a step.
Your playful eyes put on a show and tease gently,
while your walking feet hesitate to take a step.
On this bed where a thousand flowers smile,
on this bed where a thousand flowers smile,
let heaven's joyful doors open a little,
let them open a little.
Today is the very beginning,
with no experience at all...
Yet your eyes send a message of pure joy,
a message your eyes convey.
Heart merging with heart—
is this that very moment?
What classical Tamil poetry calls the soul's peaceful sleep—
is this that tender feeling?
A stage where neat garments begin to sway,
your freshly bathed form appears like gentle flowing water,
it appears like flowing water.
Today is the very beginning,
with no experience at all...
Yet your eyes send a message of pure joy,
a message your eyes convey.
Bringing your beautiful face close to the lit lamp,
bathed in the freshness of spring, blooming with a new fragrance,
bringing your beautiful face close to the lit lamp,
bathed in the freshness of spring, blooming with a new fragrance,
bringing along the breeze of a blooming garden,
my darling, the way you walk in is a dance of supreme bliss, a dance of supreme bliss.
Today is the very beginning,
with no experience at all...
Yet your eyes send a message of pure joy,
a message your eyes convey.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This romantic track captures the sweet anxiety, anticipation, and passion of a newlywed couple's first night together. The lyricist highlights the delicate balance between nervous hesitation and overwhelming love through tender sensory metaphors. As the bride hesitates to step forward, her eyes communicate non-verbal affection that promises heavenly bliss. Throughout the song, nature imagery—blooming flowers, soft spring breezes, and gentle lamps—is woven together to elevate physical intimacy into a refined aesthetic experience. Kannadasan poetically frames union as a sacred awakening of the soul, rendered masterfully through T. M. Soundararajan's vocal modulation.
