அன்புள்ள சந்தியா
உன்னை நான் காதலிக்கிறேன்
நீ சொல்லும் ஒரு வார்த்தை
அதற்காக நான் காத்திருப்பேன்
Dear Santhiya, I love you.
Just one word spoken by you,
I will be waiting for that.
என்னை எனக்குத்
தருவாயா இல்லை காட்டில்
விடுவாயா உன் பதிலை
எதிர்ப்பார்த்து இங்கே எனது
இதயம் எங்கே எனது இதயம்
Will you return myself to me,
Or will you leave me abandoned in the forest?
Awaiting your reply,
Here is my heart,
Where is my heart?
அன்புள்ள சந்தியா
உன்னை நான் காதலிக்கிறேன்
நீ சொல்லும் ஒரு வார்த்தை
அதற்காக நான் காத்திருப்பேன்
Dear Santhiya, I love you.
Just one word spoken by you,
I will be waiting for that.
........................................
எந்த பக்கம் நீ
செல்லும் போதும் எந்தன்
காதல் ஆகாயம் ஆகும்
கண்ணை மூடிக்கொண்டாலும்
மறையாதே
Whichever direction you go,
My love will expand like the sky.
Even if I close my eyes, it does not fade away.
தூரல் வந்தால்
கோலங்கள் அழியும்
காதல் வந்தால் கல்வெட்டும்
அழியும் என்றும் பெண்ணே
என் காதல் அழியாதே
If rain drizzles, rangoli patterns get erased.
With time, even stone inscriptions erode.
But girl, my love will never be destroyed.
அடி கோயில்
மூடினால் கூட கிளி
கவலைப்படுவதே இல்லை
அந்த வாசல் கோபுரம் மீது
அதன் காதல் குறைவதே
இல்லை உந்தன் காலடி எந்தன்
வாழ்வின் வேரடி
Hey, even if the temple doors are closed,
The parrot doesn't worry at all.
Perched on the entrance tower,
Its love never diminishes.
The place your feet touch is the root of my life.
அன்புள்ள சந்தியா
உன்னை நான் காதலிக்கிறேன்
நீ சொல்லும் ஒரு வார்த்தை
அதற்காக நான் காத்திருப்பேன்
Dear Santhiya, I love you.
Just one word spoken by you,
I will be waiting for that.
தாயைக் கண்டால்
தன்னாலே ஓடும் பிள்ளைப்
போலே என் காதல் ஆகும்
அன்பே அதை உன் கண்கள்
அறியாதா
Like a child that runs automatically upon seeing its mother,
My love becomes just like that.
My love, don't your eyes realize that?
என்றோ யாரோ
உன் கையை தொடுவார்
இன்பம் துன்பம் எல்லாமே
அறிவான் அன்பே அது
நானாக கூடாதா
Someday, someone will hold your hand,
Knowing all your joys and sorrows.
My love, why couldn't that person be me?
உன் காதல்
என்னிடம் இல்லை
நான் கரைக்க நினைக்கிறேன்
கல்லை இந்த காதல் என்பதே
தொல்லை உயிரோடு எரிக்குதே
என்னை உன்னை நீங்கினால்
எங்கே போவேன் நானடி
Your love is not mine,
I feel like I am trying to melt a stone.
This phenomenon called love is pure trouble,
It burns me alive!
If I part from you, where will I go, my girl?
அன்புள்ள சந்தியா
உன்னை நான் காதலிக்கிறேன்
நீ சொல்லும் ஒரு வார்த்தை
அதற்காக நான் காத்திருப்பேன்
Dear Santhiya, I love you.
Just one word spoken by you,
I will be waiting for that.
என்னை எனக்குத்
தருவாயா இல்லை காட்டில்
விடுவாயா உன் பதிலை
எதிர்ப்பார்த்து
Will you return myself to me,
Or will you leave me abandoned in the forest?
Awaiting your reply.
Anbulla santhiya unnai naan kaadhalikiren
Dear Santhiya, I love you.
Nee sollum oru vaarthai
Just one word spoken by you,
Atharkaaga naan kaathirupen
I will be waiting for that.
Ennai enaku tharuvayaa
Will you return myself to me,
Illai kaatil viduvaya
Or will you leave me abandoned in the forest?
Un bathilai ethir paarthu
Awaiting your reply,
Ingae enathu idhayam
Here is my heart,
Engae enathu idhayam
Where is my heart?
Anbulla santhiya unnai naan kaadhalikiren
Dear Santhiya, I love you.
Nee sollum oru vaarthai
Just one word spoken by you,
Atharkaaga naan kaathirupen
I will be waiting for that.
……………………………………
Enthapakkam nee sellumbothum
Whichever direction you go,
Enthan kaadhal aagaayam aagum
My love will expand like the sky.
Kannai moodi kondaalum maraiyaadhae …..ae
Even if I close my eyes, it does not fade away.
Thooral vanthaal kolangal azhiyum
If rain drizzles, rangoli patterns get erased.
Kaalam vanthaal kalvettum azhiyum
With time, even stone inscriptions erode.
Endrum pennae en kaadhal azhiyaadhae ….ae
But girl, my love will never be destroyed.
Adi koyil moodinaal kooda
Hey, even if the temple doors are closed,
Kili kavalai paduvadhae illai
The parrot doesn't worry at all.
Antha vaasal gopuram meethu
Perched on the entrance tower,
Athan kaadhal kuraivadhae illai
Its love never diminishes.
Unthan kaaladi enthan vaazhvin veradi
The place your feet touch is the root of my life.

Nee sollum oru vaarthai

Atharkaaga naan kaathirupen

Like a child that runs automatically upon seeing its mother,
Pillaipolae en kaadhal aagum
My love becomes just like that.
Anbae athai un kangal ariyaathaa ….
My love, don't your eyes realize that?
Endro yaaro un kaiyai thoduvaar
Someday, someone will hold your hand,
Inbam thunbam ellamae arivaan
Knowing all your joys and sorrows.
Anbae athu nanaaga koodatha ….
My love, why couldn't that person be me?
Un kaadhal ennidam illai
Your love is not mine,
Naan karaika ninaikiren kallai
I feel like I am trying to melt a stone.
Intha kaadhal enbadhae thollai
This phenomenon called love is pure trouble,
Uyirodu erikudhae ennai
It burns me alive!
Unnai neenginaal engae poven naanadi
If I part from you, where will I go, my girl?
Anbulla santhiya unnai naan kaadhalikiren
Dear Santhiya, I love you.
Nee sollum oru vaarthai

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poignant song expresses an aching, unrequited declaration of love from a young man named to a girl named Santhiya. The lover vulnerability waits for a single response, unsure if she will accept him or leave him heartbroken and lost. He compares his enduring affection to timeless cosmic and natural elements—unlike fragile rain-washed patterns or weathered stone inscriptions, his love is eternal like the sky and unwavering like a bird devoted to a temple tower. In the second stanza, his emotion deepens into desperation and longing. He compares his pure love to an innocent child running towards its mother and asks why he cannot be the companion who shares her life's ups and downs. Facing her indifference, he feels as though he is trying to melt a stone, expressing how love burns him alive from within while remaining unable to picture a life without her.
