அழகின் காலடியில்
அமைதி காண வந்தேன்
அழகின் காலடியில்
அமைதி காண வந்தேன்
இன்பம் எங்கே என்னை அங்கே
இன்பம் எங்கே என்னை அங்கே
அழைத்து செல்ல உங்கள் அருகில் வந்தேன்
At the feet of beauty
I have come to find peace

At the feet of beauty
I have come to find peace
ஒரு பொழுதேனும் துயரமில்லாத
உலகமொன்றிருந்தால் எனக்கது வேண்டும்
அஹ ஹா ஹா.....ஆஅ......ஆ....ஆ....
நினைவுகளாலே துடித்தவன் நெஞ்சை
மயங்கிட வைத்தால் நிம்மதி தோன்றும்
நிம்மதி தோன்றும் நிம்மதி தோன்றும
If there is a world without grief
Even for a moment, I want that world for myself
Aha haa haa....aaa....aa....aa…
The heart of one tormented by memories
If mesmerized into oblivion, peace will emerge
Peace will emerge, peace will emerge
எந்தெந்த இடத்தில்
என்னென்ன சுகமோ
எந்தெந்த இடத்தில்
என்னென்ன சுகமோ
அந்தந்த இடத்தில்
அடைக்கலம் வேண்டுகின்றேன்
In whichever places
Whatever pleasures lie
In whichever places
Whatever pleasures lie
In those very places
I seek refuge
அழகின் காலடியில்
அமைதி காண வந்தேன்
At the feet of beauty
I have come to find peace
இறைவனைக் கேட்டேன்
எனக்கொரு உறவை
கொடுத்தவன் கொடுத்தான்
வேறொரு துணையை
I asked God
For a loving relationship for myself
The Giver gave
A different companion altogether

மணவறைக் கோலம்
தனியறைப்பாடல்
மறந்திட வந்தேன் மனம் விரும்பாமல்
மனம் விரும்பாமல் மனம் விரும்பாமல்
The wedding decor pattern
The song of the private chamber
I came to forget, unwillingly
Unwillingly, unwillingly
ஊரென்ன பேச உறவென்ன சொல்ல
ஊரென்ன பேச உறவென்ன சொல்ல
ஒரு நெஞ்சம் இங்கே எரிகின்ற நேரத்திலே
What will the town speak, what will relatives say
What will the town speak, what will relatives say
While a heart is burning here in grief
அழகின் காலடியில்
அமைதி காண வந்தேன்
இன்பம் எங்கே என்னை அங்கே
அழைத்து செல்ல உங்கள் அருகில் வந்தேன்
At the feet of beauty
I have come to find peace
Wherever happiness is, take me there
I have come near you to lead me there

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This emotional song depicts a heartbroken soul seeking solace and peace at the altar of beauty. Tormented by painful memories and forced into a life path different from what was prayed for, the protagonist surrenders to the comfort of music and aesthetics to drown out inner turmoil. The lyrics mourn the irony of fate, where prayers for a true soulmate resulted in an unwanted match, leaving the heart in flames while fearing societal judgment.
