| Edhira pudhira pudhidhaa | Is it an opposing riddle, something brand new? |
| Adhira kaadhal idhuvaa | Is this a soul-shaking love? |
| Kadalil oru naan karaiyil oru nee | I am in the ocean, you are on the shore, |
| Idhu ondraaga serumaa | Will these two unite as one? |

எதிரா புதிரா புதிதா
அதிரா காதல் இதுவா
கடலில் ஒரு நான் கரையில் ஒரு நீ
இது ஒன்றாக சேருமா
இது ஒன்றாக சேருமா
இது ஒன்றாக சேருமா
Is it an opposing riddle, something brand new?
Is this a soul-shaking love?
I am in the ocean, you are on the shore,
Will these two unite as one?
Will these two unite as one?
Will these two unite as one?

புத்தனின் அறையில்
அத்தரின் மனமா
சித்தனின் இரவில்
சித்திரை நிலவா
கண்ணாடி போல் நானடி
பிம்பம் நீ ஆகிறாய்
கல் மீறும் வேர் போலவே
எண்ணில் நீ பூக்கிறாய்
யாரிடம் யார் மனம்
யார் சொல்வதோ
Inside Buddha's quiet room,
Is that the fragrance of attar perfume?
In the night of an ascetic sage,
Is that the bright moonlight of Chithirai?
I am like a mirror, my dear,
And you become the image reflected within.
Just like a root piercing through a rock,
You blossom within my inner self.
Whose heart belongs to whom,
Who can ever tell?
எதிரா புதிரா புதிதா
அதிரா காதல் இதுவா
கடலில் ஒரு நான் கரையில் ஒரு நீ
இது ஒன்றாக சேருமா
இது ஒன்றாக சேருமா
இது ஒன்றாக சேருமா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This soulful track delves into the enigmatic and contrasting nature of romantic attraction. The narrator contemplates whether two fundamentally different individuals—symbolized as the vast sea and the steadfast shore—can overcome their differences to form a single, unified bond. Through vivid poetic imagery of unexpected beauty, such as rich fragrance in a serene room or a plant blooming through hard stone, the lyrics capture the quiet yet irresistible power of love that seamlessly reflects one soul in another.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Edhugai (Second Letter Rhyme)
“Edhira pudhira pudhidhaa / Adhira kaadhal idhuvaa”
The second consonant 'dh' in 'Edhira' and 'Adhira' creates a melodious Tamil poetic rhythm across the opening lines.
Simile (Uvamai)
“Kannadi pol naanadi / Bimbam nee aagiraai”
The speaker explicitly compares himself to a mirror ('Kannadi pol') while portraying the beloved as the dynamic image inside it.
Metaphor & Imagery
“Kal meerum ver polave / Ennil nee pookkiraai”
The line 'Kal meerum ver' uses powerful natural imagery comparing love's persistence to a plant root overcoming a hard rock to bloom.
Juxtaposition / Contrast
“Kadalil oru naan karaiyil oru nee”
Contrasts the vastness and motion of the sea ('Kadalil oru naan') with the static shore ('karaiyil oru nee') to highlight contrasting personalities.
