O beauty, to Lord Brahma,
I had gone to submit a petition,
Praying that you should become my wife.
"You must wait for many years,"
He told me so.
"I will wait until my life's end,"
I told him and returned.
Will my desire come true, my
Friend, won't you tell me?
It will happen, it will happen, I
Too say so.
O beauty, to Lord Brahma,
I had gone to submit a petition,
Praying that you should become my wife.
...
Because I carry you within me,
My heart itself has become a womb.
In my mind, I too am a mother,
I will never ever forget you.
I was like a seed in the desert,
You came like the seasonal rain.
And a flower blossomed on my plant of love...
If your eyes remain open,
There is no need for a dawn.
If I were ever to forsake you,
My life would no longer belong to me.
Will all of this be mine now?
You will get it, you will get it, I too say so.
O beauty, to Lord Brahma,
I had gone to submit a petition,
Praying that you should become my wife.
...
"Why was I born into this world?"
I used to wonder until now.
My life, the moment I saw you,
The world became entirely new.
The God who created me,
The divine mother who carried me,
I see both of them in your eyes...
Seasons will pass away,
Physical forms will change,
But the love I hold for you
Will live on beyond life itself.
Will everything that was said come true?
It will happen, it will happen, I too say so.
O beauty, to Lord Brahma,
I had gone to submit a petition,
Praying that you should become my wife.
"You must wait for many years,"
He told me so.
"I will wait until my life's end,"
I told him and returned.
Will my desire come true, my
Friend, won't you tell me?
It will happen, it will happen, I
Too say so.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Azhagae Brahmanidam' from the movie Devathayai Kanden (2004) is a romantic melody expressing deep devotion and eternal love. The male protagonist poetically claims he went to Brahma, the Creator, to petition for his beloved to become his wife, affirming that he is ready to wait a lifetime for her. He describes how his heart feels like a mother's womb carrying her, and how her arrival revived his dry life like seasonal rain nurturing a seed in a desert.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Simile (Uvamai)

“Naan paalaivanathil vidhai pol / Nee paruvam thantha malai pol”

Compares the protagonist to a seed in a desert and the beloved to life-giving seasonal rain.

Metaphor (Uruvagam)

“Idhayamum karuvarai thaan”

Metaphorically equates the male lover's heart to a womb (karuvarai) carrying the beloved.

Hyperbole (Atisayokthi)

“Azhagae brahmanidam / Manu koduka poi irunthen”

Exaggerates the romantic devotion by claiming to have submitted a written petition directly to Lord Brahma.

Moonaal / Assonance

“Azhagae brahmanidam... / Aandu pala kaathiruka... / Aayul varai kaathirupen”

Initial sound matching across consecutive lines (Azhagae / Aandu / Aayul).
