கர்நாடிக் :
........................
Oh my, I don't know what is happening to me
I can no longer comprehend the sky or the earth
In this world, you are the true definition of a woman
I saw God in your eyes
அம்மாம்மா என்னானு தெரியல
ஆகாயம் பூலோகம் புரியல
பொண்ணுன்னா நீதானே உலகுல
உன் கண்ணில் பார்த்தேனே கடவுள
In the beauty of your words sweet as rock sugar
In the moment when the cactus flower loses its thorns
Under your shadow, does a cool beetle rest?
My soul lies in penance to taste your sweet nectar
கல்கண்டா நீ பேசும் அழகுல
கள்ளிப்பூ முள் நீக்கும் நொடியில
சில் வண்டோ உன்னோட நிழலுல
தேன் உண்ண தவம் கிடக்கு உசுருல
Like lighting ten million lamps along a single path
Who can conquer you when you glow like that?
You are like a cascading mountain waterfall
An angel who showers pure affection
ஒரு வழியில கோடி விளக்க
கொளுத்துற உன்ன யாரு ஜெயிக்க
மலை அருவிய போல நீயும்
பாசம் காட்டும் தேவத
To admire you every single day
Everyone marvels as the day breaks
All the princesses in the world
Are no match for you, my dear
தினசரி உன்னை பார்த்து ரசிக்க
பகல் வருவது எல்லாரும் வியக்க
இளவரசிகள் எல்லாம் உனக்கு
இல்ல இல்ல ஈடம்மா
On the rock where peacocks dance
The cuckoo bird walks gracefully
Singing a song dedicated to you
Under the rising midday sun
நீ மயிலாடும் பாறையில
நடைபோடும் பூங்குயிலு
உன்ன பாட்டா பாடுது
ஏறு வெயிலு
When you reach the mountain temple
Won't hands fold together in reverence?
Ancient Tamil language itself
Must stand guard to protect you
நீ மலக்கோயில் சேரயில
குவியாதோ கை விரலு
உன்ன காவல் காக்கணும்
ஆதி தமிழு
Oh my, I don't know what is happening to me
I can no longer comprehend the sky or the earth
In this world, you are the true definition of a woman
I saw God in your eyes
அம்மாம்மா என்னானு தெரியல
ஆகாயம் பூலோகம் புரியல
பொண்ணுன்னா நீதானே உலகுல
உன் கண்ணில் பார்த்தேனே கடவுள
Hey, high up in the sky
Did the silver moon become your eyes?
In shyness upon seeing you
Did it tilt upside down?
ஏய் உச்சி உச்சி
வெள்ளி நிலா கண்ணானதோ ஹோய்
உன்ன கண்ட வெக்கத்துல
மல்லாந்ததோ ஹோ ஹோய்
Oh blessed woman, your radiant face
Brings joy like a gushing mountain stream
Even grass and weeds bloom into flowers at your words
மகராசி உன்னோட முகமே
மலை ஊத்தா சந்தோசம் தருமே
புல் பூண்டும் உன் பேச்சில் பூவாகுமே
Inside an uninhabited forest
You are a shower of pure joy
To express all the love you give
Who can lend me the words required?
ஆளில்லா காட்டுக்குள்ள
ஆனந்த தூறல் தானே
உன் அன்ப நானும் சொல்ல
தருவார் யார் வார்த்தை கடனே
On the rock where peacocks dance
The cuckoo bird walks gracefully
Singing a song dedicated to you
Under the rising midday sun
நீ மயிலாடும் பாறையில
நடைபோடும் பூங்குயிலு
உன்ன பாட்டா பாடுது
ஏறு வெயிலு
When you reach the mountain temple
Won't hands fold together in reverence?
Ancient Tamil language itself
Must stand guard to protect you
நீ மலக்கோயில் சேரயில
குவியாதோ கை விரலு
உன்ன காவல் காக்கணும்
ஆதி தமிழு
Like lighting ten million lamps along a single path
Who can conquer you when you glow like that?
You are like a cascading mountain waterfall

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song is a deeply expressive, romantic duet celebrating profound love, divine beauty, and overwhelming affection between lovers. The lyrics utilize rich poetic imagery from nature—referencing mountain waterfalls, cuckoo birds, peacocks, rock sugar sweetness, and the silver moon—to illustrate how the beloved's presence elevates everyday existence into a state of divine wonder. Towards the final stanzas, the perspective shifts as the female vocalist reflects the same adoration back to the male protagonist, showing a mutual, soul-deep veneration.
