அன்பே வா அருகிலே
என் வாசல் வழியிலே
உல்லாச மாளிகை மாளிகை
இங்கே ஓர் தேவதை தேவதை
நீ தானே வேண்டும் என்று ஏங்கினேன்
நாள் தோறும் முள்ளின் மீது தூங்கினேன்
My love, come closer
Through the entrance of my doorway
A palace of joy, a palace
Here is an angel, an angel
I longed only for you
Every day, I slept on a bed of thorns
அன்பே வா அருகிலே
என் வாசல் வழியிலே
My love, come closer
Through the entrance of my doorway
போர் சதங்கை சத்தமிட
சிற்பம் ஒன்று பக்கம் வர
ஆசை தோன்றாதோ......
As golden anklets make sound
As a living sculpture approaches near
Won't desire awaken?
விர்புருவம் அம்புவிட
வட்ட நிலா கிட்ட வர
ஆவல் தூண்டாதோ
As bow-like eyebrows shoot arrows
As the full moon comes close
Won't longing be stirred?
வானம் நீங்கி வந்தா
மைனர் கோலம் நானே
அங்கம் யாவும் மின்னும்
தங்க பாலம்தானே
Having descended from the sky
I am a design made of lightning
Glowing across every limb
I am indeed a golden bridge
தினம் தினம் உனக்கென
உருகிடும் என் இதயமே
Day after day, for you
My heart melts away
அன்பே வா அருகிலே
என் வாசல் வழியிலே
உல்லாச மாளிகை மாளிகை
இங்கே ஓர் தேவதை தேவதை
நீ தானே வேண்டும் என்று ஏங்கினேன்
நாள் தோறும் முள்ளின் மீது தூங்கினேன்
My love, come closer
Through the entrance of my doorway
A palace of joy, a palace
Here is an angel, an angel
I longed only for you
Every day, I slept on a bed of thorns
அன்பே வா அருகிலே
என் வாசல் வழியிலே
My love, come closer
Through the entrance of my doorway
மந்திரமோ தந்திரமோ
அந்தரத்தில் வந்து நிற்கும்
தேவி நான்தானே
Whether by magic or spellcraft
Standing mid-air in the sky
I am indeed the goddess
மன்னவனே உன்னுடைய
பொன்னுடலை பின்னி கொள்ளும்
ஆவி நான்தானே
Oh king, around your
Golden body that entwines
I am indeed the spirit
என்னை சேர்ந்த பின்னால்
எங்க போகக்கூடும்
இங்கே வந்த ஜீவன்
எந்தன் சொந்தம் ஆகும்
After uniting with me
Where else could one go?
The soul that arrives here
Will become my very own
தினம் தினம் உனக்கென
உருகிடும் என் இதயமே
Day after day, for you
My heart melts away
அன்பே வா அருகிலே
என் வாசல் வழியிலே
உல்லாச மாளிகை மாளிகை
இங்கே ஓர் தேவதை தேவதை
நீ தானே வேண்டும் என்று ஏங்கினேன்
நாள் தோறும் முள்ளின் மீது தூங்கினேன்
My love, come closer
Through the entrance of my doorway
A palace of joy, a palace
Here is an angel, an angel

Every day, I slept on a bed of thorns

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Anbae Vaa Arugilae from Kilipetchu Ketkava (1993) is a hauntingly romantic and seductive song expressing deep desire and longing. The speaker portrays herself as an angelic celestial being dwelling in a palace of joy, inviting her beloved to step through her doors. She conveys the pain of separation by describing her days prior to his arrival as sleeping on a bed of thorns. Through vivid metaphors comparing her form to lightning, sculptures, and a heavenly goddess, the lyrics invoke a hypnotic, enchanted aura where love transcends the ordinary realm.
