அன்பே என் கனவு காதலனே
என் நிழலின் நிஜமானாய்
என் நிலவின் ஒலியானாய்
My beloved dream lover
As the reality of my shadow
As the light of my moon
ஏன் என் வாழ்வில் நீ வந்தாய்
என் வாழ்வே நீ ஆனாய்
விழி ஓரம் நீர் தந்தாய்
Why did you enter my life?
You became my very life
You brought tears to the edge of my eyes
எதிர்பார்க்கிறேன் நான் தேடினேன்
உன் காதலை தினமும்
உயிர் போகவே நான் வாழ்கிறேன்
உனக்காகவே இன்றும்
I wait and search
For your love every day
Even as my life departs, I live
For you alone, even today
கண்மூடி பார்க்கிறேன் இன்று
நீ என் கண் முன் நின்றாய்
கண்ணீரை துடைக்கவே உந்தன்
கைகளை தேடினேன் என்றும் நீ என்
I close my eyes and look today
Why do you stand before my eyes?
To wipe away my tears
I always searched for your hands
காதலே என் காதலே
வானெங்கும் உன் சுவாசமே
காதலே என் காதலே
வானெங்கும் உன் சுவாசமே
My love
My love
Your breath fills the entire sky
Oh love
My love
Your breath fills the entire sky
கவியே
என் மனதின் மன்மதனே
என் உறவே நீ ஆனாய்
எனக்காக உயிர் தந்தாய்
Oh poem
Oh Cupid of my heart
You became my soulmate
You gave your life for me
ஒரு நாள்
இந்த வாழ்க்கை முடிந்துவிடும்
நம் உறவும் தொடங்கிவிடும்
நம் கண்கள் இணைந்து விடும்
One day
This life will come to an end
Our bond will truly begin
Our eyes will meet and unite
நம்மை பிரிக்கவே இந்த உலகிலே
இந்த ஜாதி மதம் இருந்தும்
நான் மறந்திட உன்னை வெறுத்திட
முடியாதே என்றும்
Though caste and religion exist in this world
To separate us
For me to forget you or hate you
It will never be possible...
கண்மூடி பார்க்கிறேன் இன்று
நீ என் கண் முன் நின்றாயே
கண்ணீரை துடைக்கவே உந்தன்
கைகளை தேடினேன்
என்றும் நீ என்
I close my eyes and look today
Why do you stand before my eyes?
To wipe away my tears
I always searched for your hands
காதலே என் காதலே
வானெங்கும் உன் சுவாசமே
காதலே என் காதலே
வானெங்கும் உன் சுவாசமே
I close my eyes and look today
Why do you stand before my eyes?
To wipe away my tears
I always searched for your hands
ஜாதி மதம் நம் பிரித்தாலும்
சொந்த பந்தம் நம் வெறுத்தாலும்
ஜோடியாகவே இணைவோமே
அந்த வானில் சிறகுடன் பறப்போமே
My love
My love
Your breath fills the entire sky
Oh love
My love
Your breath fills the entire sky
யார் எதிர்த்தாலும் இல்லை தடுத்தாலும்
நம்மை அழித்தாலும் அவர் சிரித்தாலும்
நம் காதல் என்றும் வாழ்ந்திடும் நெஞ்சே
கலங்கதே
Even if caste and religion separate us
Even if our own relatives despise us
We will unite as a couple
We will fly in that sky with wings
காதல் ஆழியாதே
இந்த வலியாலே
நான் துடிக்கிறேன் தனியே
தவிக்கிறேன் உன்னை
நினைகிறேன் என்னை
வெறுக்கிறேன் இனி
என் கனவு கலைந்திடவே
வாழ்த்தி முடிந்திடவே
மரணம் அழைத்தது
No matter who opposes or stops us
Even if they destroy us and laugh
Our love will forever
Live on; do not despair, oh heart
மறுமுறை வாழ்ந்திட
மனித மிருகங்கள்
மதிகெட்ட அரசியல்
மதங்கள் ஒழிய
மத நீதி அழிய
மனிதாபம் இணைய
மருரூபம் அடைய
மனம் கதறி ஏங்கிடுதே
Love never perishes
Through this unbearable pain
I writhe in loneliness
I yearn for you, while thinking
I despise myself
From now on
As my dream dissolved
As life came to an end
Death called out to me
காதலே என் காதலே
வானெங்கும் உன் சுவாசமே
காதலே என் காதலே
வானெங்கும் உன் சுவாசமே
To live once again
Human beasts
Senseless politics
May religions disappear
May religious dogma perish
May humanity unite
To take a reborn form
My heart cries out in longing
My love
My love
Your breath fills the entire sky
Oh love
My love
Your breath fills the entire sky

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Navayuga Kannagi' is a deeply emotional and poignant song depicting a tragic tale of love shattered by societal evils such as caste discrimination, religious divisions, and honour violence. The speaker mourns the loss of her beloved, who sacrificed his life for their love. Despite the tragic end of their earthly journey, she finds solace in the belief that true love transcends death, promising that their bond will endure in another realm beyond societal barriers. The track culminates in a powerful social commentary calling for the destruction of inhuman dogmas, senseless politics, and bigotry, urging humanity to unite above caste and creed.
