அதிகாலையில் பனிக் காற்றுகள்
வீசிட கண்டேன் குளிரே தீண்டாதிரு
அதிகாலையில் பனிக் காற்றுகள்
வீசிட கண்டேன் குளிரே தீண்டாதிரு
Early in the morning, misty breezes
I saw them blow, oh coldness do not touch me!
Early in the morning, misty breezes
I saw them blow, oh coldness do not touch me!
பூக்கள் விழித்து கண்கள் துடைத்து
காலை வணக்கம் சொல்லும்
தூங்கி கிடந்த சூரியன் எழுந்து
சோம்பல் முறித்து கொள்ளும்
The flowers wake up, wipe their eyes
And wish a good morning.
The sleeping sun rises
And stretches away its laziness.
குளிக்கும்போது தெறிக்கும் துளியில்
கோடி வைரங்கள் மின்னும்.........
குளிக்கும்போது தெறிக்கும் துளியில்
கோடி வைரங்கள் மின்னும்.........
In the water droplets splashing while bathing,
A crore diamonds shine!
In the water droplets splashing while bathing,
A crore diamonds shine!
அதிகாலையில் பனிக் காற்றுகள்
வீசிட கண்டேன் குளிரே தீண்டாதிரு
Early in the morning, misty breezes
I saw them blow, oh coldness do not touch me!
அம்மா கொடுப்பாள் காப்பி கலந்து
என்றும் அதுதான் இனிப்பு மருந்து

Mother will mix and give coffee,
Always, that is the sweet cure.

The dosas will get cold and their taste will change,
Hurry to grab it first... aahahaa!

வீசிட கண்டேன் குளிரே தீண்டாதிரு
Early in the morning, misty breezes
I saw them blow, oh coldness do not touch me!
பார்த்து புளித்து கசந்த போதும்
பழகி போன பந்தம்
உயிரில் நிறைந்து மனதில் வழிந்து
சுகங்கள் வளர்க்கும் சொந்தம்
Even when relations turn sour or bitter through familiarity,
It is a long-accustomed bond.
Filled in the soul, overflowing in the heart,
A relationship that nurtures happiness.
கூட்டி பெருக்கி கழித்து பார்த்தால்
வாழ்வில் அன்பே மிஞ்சும் ஆ...ஆ...
கூட்டி பெருக்கி கழித்து பார்த்தால்
வாழ்வில் அன்பே மிஞ்சும்
When you add, multiply, and subtract it all,
Only love remains in life, aa... aa...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Adhikaalaiyil Pani Kaattrugal from Kalyana Kalam is a cheerful morning song that celebrates the beauty of dawn and the warmth of family life. It personifies nature waking up—flowers wiping their eyes to greet the day, the sun stretching away its sleep, and water droplets shining like diamonds in the morning light. The song captures simple home joys like enjoying mother's coffee and rushing to eat hot dosas. Beyond morning routines, lyricist Vairamuthu reflects on human relationships. Even when family bonds experience moments of bitterness or weariness, love is the ultimate essence that remains when life's math is calculated.
