என் நெஞ்சுக்குள் வீசிய பூங்காற்று
நீயே லல லாலா
என் நினைவுக்குள் ஊறிய தேனூற்று
நீயே லல லாலா
The gentle breeze blowing inside my heart
It is you, lala laalaa
The fountain of honey soaked in my memory
It is you, lala laalaa
என் கனவுக்குள்
தோன்றிய வானவில்
என் மனதுக்குள் தூறிய மழைத்துளி
அது நீயே அது நீயே அது நீயே
In my dreams
The rainbow that appeared
The raindrop that drizzled inside my heart
That is you, that is you, that is you
காதலியே காதலியே
என் காதலை சொல்ல மொழி இல்லையே
கண்கள் தொடும் வானத்தையே
என் கைகளில் தீண்டிட
வழி இல்லையே வழி இல்லையே...
Oh beloved, oh beloved
There are no words to express my love
The sky that my eyes can touch
To touch with my hands
There is no way, there is no way
என் நெஞ்சுக்குள் வீசிய பூங்காற்று
நீயே லல லாலா
என் நினைவுக்குள் ஊறிய தேனூற்று
நீயே லல லாலா
The gentle breeze blowing inside my heart
It is you, lala laalaa
The fountain of honey soaked in my memory
It is you, lala laalaa

உனைப் பார்த்தால்
உனைப் பார்த்தால்
உள்ளம் உற்சாகத்தில்
துள்ளி குதிக்கிறதே
When I look at you
When I look at you
My heart with enthusiasm
Jumps and leaps in excitement
உனை நினைத்தால்
உனை நினைத்தால்
உயிர் சந்தோசத்தில்
காற்றில் மிதக்கிறதே...
When I think of you
When I think of you
My soul with happiness
Floats in the air
காலடி சுவடுகள்
ஹைக்கூ கவிதைகள்
கண்ணே நான்தான் வாசகனே
காற்றில் கலைகிற
கூந்தல் வரைகிற
ஓவியமெல்லாம் அதிசயமே....
Your footprints
Are Haiku poems
My dear, I am the reader
Scattering in the wind
Drawn by your tresses
All those paintings are a wonder
என்னவளே.......ஏ....
என்னவளே நெஞ்சு துடிப்பதை
நான் சத்தம் என்றே நினைத்திருந்தேன்
சத்தம் என்றே நினைத்திருந்தேன்
நீ சொல்லும் வார்த்தை மந்திரமே
எனக்குள் கேட்க்கும் தினம் தினமே
Oh my woman...
Oh my woman, my heartbeat
I had thought it was merely a sound
I had thought it was merely a sound
The words you speak are a sacred chant
That echoes within me every single day
என் நெஞ்சுக்குள் வீசிய பூங்காற்று
நீயே லல லாலா
என் நினைவுக்குள் ஊறிய தேனூற்று
நீயே லல லாலா
The gentle breeze blowing inside my heart
It is you, lala laalaa
The fountain of honey soaked in my memory
It is you, lala laalaa
நீ சிரித்தால் நீ சிரித்தால்
நெஞ்சில் வெயிலும் மழையும்
ஒன்றாய் பொழிகிறதே....
If you smile, if you smile
In my heart, sunshine and rain
Pour down together at once
நீ முறைத்தால் நீ முறைத்தாள்
நிலநடுக்கம் எனக்குள்
தினமும் நிகழ்கிறதே
If you glare, if you glare
An earthquake inside me
Happens every single day
ஒவ்வொரு அசைவிலும்
என் நிலை குழையுது
இரக்கம் காட்டடி பெண்மணியே
உம் என்ற மௌனங்கள்
ஆயிரம் பொருள்படும்
வேண்டாம் வேண்டாம் கண்மணியே
என்னுயிரே....ஏ...
With your every movement
My composure falls apart
Show some mercy, my lady
The silence containing 'mhm'
Conveys a thousand meanings
Please don't, please don't, my precious one
Oh my life...
என்னுயிரே என்னை
நான் மறந்தேன்
உன்னை நினைத்தே உயிர் சுமந்தேன்
உன்னை நினைத்தே உயிர் சுமந்தேன்
இத்தனை அருகினில் இமை இருந்தும்
என் விழி அதனை காணலையே
Oh my life, myself
I forgot
Thinking of you, I carry my soul
Thinking of you, I carry my soul
Even though the eyelash is so close
My eyes cannot see it
என் நெஞ்சுக்குள் வீசிய பூங்காற்று
நீயே லல லாலா
என் நினைவுக்குள் ஊறிய தேனூற்று
நீயே லல லாலா
The gentle breeze blowing inside my heart
It is you, lala laalaa
The fountain of honey soaked in my memory
It is you, lala laalaa

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This romantic track from 'Sundara Travels' expresses the protagonist's profound and helpless love for his beloved. He compares her presence to a soothing breeze, a fountain of honey, a dreamlike rainbow, and a refreshing raindrop. Expressing how words fail to capture his intense emotions, he compares his adoration to reaching for the sky—visible to the eyes yet impossible to grasp physically.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Uruvam (Metaphor)
“En nenjukkul veesiya poongaatru”
The lyrics metaphorically compare the lover to nature's elements like a gentle breeze (Poongaatru), a honey fountain (Thaenoottru), and a rainbow (Vaanavil).
Metaphor / Visual Imagery
“Kaaladi suvadugal Haikkoo kavithaigal”
Comparing footprints to short Haiku poems (Haikkoo kavithaigal) elevates the lover's grace and subtlety.
Paradox / Proverbial Analogy
“Iththanai aruginil imai irunthum En vizhi adhanai kaanalaiyae”
The poet uses the Tamil idiom/analogy that even though lashes are right next to the eye, the eye cannot see them, signifying intimacy so intense that one loses objective vision.

Trivia
Music composer Bharani scored the music for 'Sundara Travels', a slapstick comedy film starring Murali and Vadivelu. While the movie is predominantly known for its iconic comedy scenes, songs like 'En Nenjukkul Veesiya Poongaatru' rendered by P. Unnikrishnan added a melodious and soulful touch to the album.
