உள்ளத்தில் காதலரை
சுமப்பேனா உலகினும் பெரிதாய்
நினைப்பேனா கனவிலும்
அவனது முகம்தானா
நினைக்க நினைக்க சுகம்தானா
I will carry my beloved within my soul
I will cherish them greater than the entire world
Is it his face alone that appears even in dreams?
Is it pure bliss to think of him again and again?
காலை மாலை
வருவதெல்லாம் காதலர்கள்
சந்திக்கத்தானா கனநேரம்
கிடைத்தால் கூட காதல்
பற்றி சிந்திக்கத்தானா
Do morning and evening arrive only
For lovers to meet each other?
Even if just a fraction of a second is found
Is it only to ponder about love?
{ சொர்க்கம் இருவர்
அன்பில்தானா நரகம் காதல்
பிரிவில்தானா } (2)
Is heaven found in the mutual love of two?
Is hell found in the separation of lovers?

காதல் என்றால்
ஆழம்தானா விழுந்தால்
எழுவது கடினம்தானா
காதலர்கள் வேலை
தவிப்பது தானா கயவர்கள்
வேலை பிரிப்பதுதானா
லைலா மஜ்னு
மறைந்தார்கள் என்றால்
புதைந்தது அந்த உடல்கள்
தானா இன்றும் அவர்கள்
ஞாபகம் என்றால் வாழ்வது
அந்த காதல் தானா
Is love truly deep?
Is it difficult to rise once fallen into it?
Is the work of lovers only to yearn?
Is the work of evil ones only to separate them?
{ காலம் கூட
மாறும்தானா காதல்
அழிவதில்லைதானா } (2)
Though Laila and Majnu passed away
Was it only their bodies that were buried?
If they are remembered even today
Is it not that love itself living forever?
உலகம் உள்ளமட்டும்
காதல் வாழ்வது மெய் தானா
Even time itself may change
Love never dies, isn't that true?
என் மனசில்
என் மனசில் நீயே
தானா உன் மனசில்
நானே தானா நம் மனசில்
காதல்தானா சொல் அன்பே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This romantic track from 'Kadhal Azhivathillai' explores the profound depth and immortality of true love. The song takes the form of rhetorical questions exchanged between lovers, pondering whether their connection is destiny, whether distance can diminish affection, and how love brings both heavenly joy and unbearable heartache during separation. The lyrics emphasize that while villainous obstacles and time itself may attempt to tear lovers apart, true love endures beyond death, using historical tragic lovers like Laila and Majnu to illustrate that physical death cannot bury immortal love.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Refrain / Epanalepsis
“En manasil neeyae thaana / Un manasil naanae thaana”
The phrase 'thaana' is appended as an emphatic ending to almost every line throughout the song to reinforce certainty and rhetoric.
Antithesis
“Sorkam iruvar anbil thaana / Naragam kaadhal pirivil thaana”
Contrasts Heaven (Sorkam) created by mutual affection with Hell (Naragam) brought by separation.
Allusion
“Laila majnu marainthaargal yendral / Puthainthathu antha udalgal thaana”
References the legendary Arabic tragic lovers Laila and Majnu to prove that true love lives on beyond physical death.
