அறுபது ஆயிடுச்சு
மணி விழா முடிஞ்சிடுச்சு
ஆனாலும் லவ் ஜோடி தான்
We have turned sixty,
The 60th milestone celebration is over,
Yet we are still a love couple,
இருவதில் ஆரம்பிச்சோம்
இன்னுமும் முடியலயே
நம்மோட லவ் ஸ்டோரி தான்
We started at twenty,
And it hasn't ended yet,
Our love story!
இது வேலன்டைன் திருநாள்தான்
புது உற்சாகம் வரும் நாள்தான்
பெண் : நாம்ம எந்நாளும்
லவ்பேர்ட்ஸ்சு தான்
வா தலைவா கும்மாளம் அடிப்போமே...
This is Valentine's Day,
A day that brings fresh energy and enthusiasm.
Female: We are forever
Lovebirds,
Come leader, let us celebrate and make merry!
அறுபது ஆயிடுச்சு
மணி விழா முடிஞ்சிடுச்சு
ஆனாலும் லவ் ஜோடி தான்
We have turned sixty,
The 60th milestone celebration is over,
Yet we are still a love couple,
இருவதில் ஆரம்பிச்சோம்
இன்னுமும் முடியலயே
நம்மோட லவ் ஸ்டோரி தான்
We started at twenty,
And it hasn't ended yet,
Our love story!
என் கண்ணான குமரி
உன் ஆட்டம் அழகி
நாடெங்கும் பார்த்தேன் கிடையாது
Oh my precious young girl,
Beautiful is your dance,
I haven't seen anyone like you anywhere in the country.
Female: Oh my dear young man,
My affectionate companion,
Our relationship will never break.
அட என் ஆசை குமரா
அன்பான தோழா
நம்மோட உறவு உடையாது
Strong love never dies,
It never strays in the wrong path.
Female: As we dance with joy,
And dance holding hands,
The heart sways and flies like a kite!
அடி ஸ்ட்ராங்கான காதல் சாகதது
அது ராங்காக என்றும் போகாதது
நாம் கூத்தாடவும்
கை கோர்த்தாடவும்
மனம் காத்தாடி போல் ஆடுதே
We have turned sixty,
The 60th milestone celebration is over,
Yet we are still a love couple,
அறுபது ஆயிடுச்சு
மணி விழா முடிஞ்சிடுச்சு

We started at twenty,
And it hasn't ended yet,
Our love story!
இருவதில் ஆரம்பிச்சோம்
இன்னுமும் முடியலயே
நம்மோட லவ் ஸ்டோரி தான்
The spark that a woman
Ignites in your heart,
If it burns ceaselessly, that is love.
Female: Marrying her,
Holding both her hands,
And the joy of celebrating life together is love.
உன் உள்ளத்தில் ஒருத்தி
வைக்கின்ற ஒரு தீ
ஓயாமல் எறிஞ்சால் காதல்தான்
Now everyone, go fall in love,
Nurture it so it never fades!
Female: As long as we live here,
Until we fall to the earth,
If you can protect it till the end, go ahead and love!
அவள கல்யாணம் முடிச்சு
கை ரெண்ட புடிச்சு
கொண்டாடும் சுகமும் காதல்தான்
We have turned sixty,
The 60th milestone celebration is over,
Yet we are still a love couple,
இனி எல்லோரும் காதல் செய்யுங்கடா
அத வாடாமல் வாழ வையுங்கடா
இங்கு வாழும்வரை
மண்ணில் வீழும்வரை
அத காப்பாத்த முடிஞ்சா காதலி……
We started at twenty,
And it hasn't ended yet,
Our love story!
அறுபது ஆயிடுச்சு
மணி விழா முடிஞ்சிடுச்சு
ஆனாலும் லவ் ஜோடி தான்
This is Valentine's Day,
A day that brings fresh energy and enthusiasm.
We are forever lovebirds,
Come leader, let us celebrate and make merry!
இருவதில் ஆரம்பிச்சோம்

நம்மோட லவ் ஸ்டோரி தான்
இது வேலன்டைன் திருநாள்தான்
புது உற்சாகம் வரும் நாள்தான்
நாம்ம எந்நாளும் லவ்பேர்ட்ஸ்சு தான்
வா தலைவா கும்மாளம் அடிப்போமே...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Aruvathu Aayiduchu' from 'Mounam Pesiyadhe' (2002) is a vibrant, upbeat track celebrating everlasting love across a lifetime. The couple reflects on how their journey began when they were twenty years old and continues with the same passion and romance even after reaching sixty (Sashtiabdhapoorthi). Set around Valentine's Day, the lyrics express that true love never dies, grows stronger over decades, and brings endless joy when sustained with care and commitment.

Emona / Rhyme (Monai and Ethirai)
“Aruvathu aayiduchu / Iruvathil aarambichom”
Vaali uses classic Tamil rhyming patterns like 'Aruvathu' and 'Iruvathil' across lines for rhythmic flow.
Simile (Upamai)
“Manam kaathaadi pol aaduthae”
The heart swaying freely with happiness is compared to a kite flying in the wind ('kaathaadi pol').
Metaphor (Uruvagaim)
“Unn ullathil oruthi vaikkindra oru thee oiyaamal erinjaal kaadhaluthaan”
Love is metaphorically described as an unextinguishable flame lit in the heart.
