Anaikondu thaduthaalum nillaa
Punal idhu pudam potta thangakkanal idhu kanal idhu kaadhal (3)
Inavaadham pesaadhu kaadhal

Inampuriyaa sandhosham kaadhal.. Kaadhal!
Pagaliravu nokkaadhu kaadhal
Palapoorgal undaakkum kaadhal
Palaperkku puriyaadhu kaadhal.. Kaadhal!
Yenendru theriyaamal varume

Pudhiraana maanuda pudhaiyale kaadhal kaadhal kaadhal!

Nin idhazhgalin sezhippinil

Inimaigal muzhuvadhum
Unil mattum kandida
Enaiye marandhidum
Eriporul thedida
Kallaiyum kaviyaai aakkum kaadhale
Kadal kollum nilam pola unnil
Kalandhene enai naanum kanne
Marandhene marandhene unnaale
Oh… (2)
Nilam kollum kadal pola unnil kalandhene
Enai naanum kanne marandhene
Irai nilai kondene!
Irai nilai kondene! (2)
Even if blocked by a dam, it will not stop,
This is a rushing stream, a refined golden flame, this flame is love! (x3)
Love speaks no racial divide,
Love sees no barrier of language,
Love is an indescribable joy... love!
Love cares not for day or night,
Love wages many wars,
Love is a mystery to so many... love!
It arrives without letting you know why,
For if you knew, the mystery would fade,
Love is humanity's wondrous, mysterious treasure!
Even if blocked by a dam, it will not stop,
This is a rushing stream, a refined golden flame, this flame is love! (x2)
Even if blocked by a dam, it will not stop,
This is a rushing stream, a refined golden flame, this flame is love! (x2)
Even if blocked by a dam, it will not stop,
This is a rushing stream, a refined golden flame, this flame is love! (x2)
In the lush richness of your lips,
In the beckoning of your eyes,
To discover all sweetness
Only within you,
Forgetting my very self
As I search for the spark,
Oh love, you turn even stone into poetry!
Like the land swallowed by the sea,
I merged into you, my darling,
And completely forgot myself because of you.
Oh... (x2)
Like the sea embraced by the land, I merged into you,
My darling, I forgot my very self,
I attained a divine state!
I attained a divine state! (x2)

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Anai Kondu Thaduthaalum is an energetic and poetic ode to the unstoppable, transcendent power of love from the series Uppu Puli Kaaram. The song opens with vivid imagery of love as a dam-bursting river and a refined golden flame that disregards artificial human divisions like race, language, or time. It portrays love as a baffling, beautiful human treasure that remains a mystery—one that can spark conflicts yet transform even cold stone into art.
