காதல் பூதம்
Without expressing, it won't decrease
The distance, the distance
Even if told, it won't listen
The ghost of love
சரிதானே இன்னும் இன்னும்

கட்டழகில் உருவாகும் காதல் வேறு
உன்ன விட மகராசி ஊரில் யாரு
Love that stems from mere physical beauty is different
Who in this town is a luckier woman than you?
தர நானும் பயந்தாலே
வந்து நீ முத்தம் கேப்பியா
If I am afraid to give it
Will you come and ask for a kiss?
அடி போடி முத்தம் இல்ல

Will you always remain?
Once I come and unite with you
Will you change, oh ho ho?
இங்கிதமே தெரியாத
பேச்ச மாத்து
உன்னை விட்டா கிடையாது
மூச்சு காத்து
Change this talk
That lacks propriety
Without you, there is no
Breath of air for me
வயதாகி விடும்போது
என்னை நீ தள்ளிப் போவியா
When we grow old
Will you push me away?
என் உயிர் நீயே தள்ளிப் போனா
செத்துப் போவேன்
You are my life, if you push me away

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Aiththaanae Aiththaanae is a playful and romantic Tamil folk duet from the movie Mudhal Idam. The female protagonist inquisitively teases her maternal cousin (Aiththan), asking him to confess who occupies his heart and questioning whether his devotion will stand the test of time as they age together. In response, the male protagonist affectionately assures her that she is the sole owner of his heart, emphasizing that his love transcends superficial charm and that she is as essential to him as the air he breathes.
