Haa..ha haa..ha ah ha ah
Aasai enbadhu pen dhaanae
Mayakkam kolbavar aan dhaanae
Andha aasai mayakkathilae
Naan enai muzhudhaai arindhenae
Azhagu enbadhu aan dhaanae
Rasikka therinthaval pen dhaanae
Unnai rasikkum pozhuthinilae
Ennai muzhuthaai tholaithenae
Kalla guname unakkenna vendum
Rasigai naanum uthavida vendum
Ohoo hoo heii
Mullai kodiyae nam perum kaadhal
Malar theril valam vara vendum
Noolagathil naanum neeyum
Oodum kadhaiyai paadida vendum
Rasikka therindhaval pen dhaanae
Male :Mayakkam adaindhavan naan dhaanae
Both :Namathu aasai mayakkathilae
Naam namai muzhudhaai arindhomae
Naam namai muzhudhaai arindhomae
Ha.. ha ha.. ha ah ha ah
Desire is a woman, isn't she?
And the one captivated is a man, isn't he?
In that spell of desire,
I truly discovered who I am.
Beauty is a man, isn't he?
And the one who knows how to appreciate it is a woman, isn't she?
In the moments I admire you,
I completely lost myself.
O mischievous soul, what do you need?
As your admirer, I should help you out.
Oho ho hey
O jasmine vine, our great love
must parade in celebration on a chariot of flowers.
Together in the library, you and I
should sing about the story that unfolds.
The one who knows how to appreciate is a woman, isn't she?
Male: And the one captivated is me, isn't it?
Both: In this spell of our desire,
we discovered who we truly are.
We discovered who we truly are.

Through vivid imagery of flower chariots and quiet libraries, the lovers express how their adoration allows them to both lose and fully discover their true selves within each other.

Trivia

The web series 'Kaiyum Kalavum' features a soundtrack by Satish Raghunathan that deliberately mimics the nostalgic, lush orchestral soundscapes of 1970s and 1980s Tamil cinema, reminiscent of classic compositions by M. S. Viswanathan and early Ilaiyaraaja.
