| Male | |
| Kannae en kadhal siragae | My eye, my wing of love |
| Ennullae vanthu vizhunthaai | You came and fell within me |
| Munnaalil naanum ariyaa | A state which I never knew in the past |
| Mounaththai neeyae koduththaai | You yourself gave me this peaceful silence |
| Male | |
| Kanneerin kaattai eriththae | Burning down the forest of tears |
| Vinmeenai vaari iraiththaai | You scattered a handful of stars |
| Thanneeril vizhum mazhaiyaai | Like rain falling directly into water |
| Ennodu neeyum inaiththaai | You merged yourself inextricably with me |
| Male | |

கண்ணே என் காதல் சிறகே
என்னுள்ளே வந்து விழுந்தாய்
முன்னாளில் நானும் அறியா
மௌனத்தை நீயே கொடுத்தாய்
My eye, my wing of love
You came and fell within me
A state which I never knew in the past
You yourself gave me this peaceful silence
கண்ணீரின் காட்டை எரித்தே
விண்மீனை வாரி இறைத்தாய்
தண்ணீரில் விழும் மழையாய்
என்னோடு நீயும் இணைந்தாய்
Burning down the forest of tears
You scattered a handful of stars
Like rain falling directly into water
You merged yourself inextricably with me
கண்மணியே...ஏ.... நீ யாரோ
உன்னுடனே...ஏ.....வாழ்வேனோ
Oh my darling... who are you...
Will I spend my life together with you...
தீராத காதல் தந்து
தீயில் என்னை தைத்த தீயே
Giving me endless, unquenchable love
Oh fire that stitched me inside fire!
தியா தியா ஓ தியா தியா
தியா தியா ஆராதியா
ஹே தியா தியா ஓ தியா தியா
ஓ தியா தியா ஓ ஆராதியா ஹே.....ஏ........ஆ...
Diya diya oo diya diya
Diya diya aaraadiyaa
Hey diya diya oo diya diya
Oh diya diya oo aaraadiyaa hae...ae...aa...
கண்ணே என் காதல் சிறகே
என்னுள்ளே வானம் வரைந்தாய்
முன்னாளில் நானும் அறியா....ஆ.....
மௌனத்தை நீயே கொடுத்தாய்
My eye, my wing of love
You drew a vast sky within me
A state which I never knew in the past...
You yourself gave me this peaceful silence
ஓர் இலைமேல் பேரொளிபோல்
நீ விழுந்தாய் நான் விடிந்தேன்
கூன் பிறை நான் நீ எடுத்தாய்
ஓர் நிலவாய் நான் நிலைதேன்
Like a brilliant light falling on a leaf
You fell, and I awakened like a new day
I was a bent crescent moon, you picked me up
And I stood tall, becoming a full moon
மாயவிழி காட்டும் வழி
போகுதடி காதல் நதி வா.....
உயிரே......ஏ.....ஊழே வரமே......ஏ.....
Along the path shown by your magical eyes
The river of love flows on, come
Oh my life... oh fate, oh divine gift...
தீராத காதல் தந்து
தீயில் என்னை தைத்த தீயே
Giving me endless, unquenchable love
Oh fire that stitched me inside fire!
தியா தியா ஓ தியா தியா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This evocative track from the film 'Bun Butter Jam' (2025) expresses a profound, transformative love where the presence of the beloved reshapes the protagonist's emotional landscape. The lyrics portray love as a divine force that burns away past sorrows ('forest of tears') and transforms a incomplete soul (a crescent moon) into a complete, shining entity (a full moon). Filled with wonder and tender vulnerability, the speaker reflects on the mystery of destiny and ponders whether he will be fortunate enough to spend his entire life journey with his soulmate.
