எச காத்தா நெஞ்சுல நெஞ்சுல நீ
சுதி ஏத்த
நிறை மாச அம்புலி அம்புலியா
தெனம் பூத்த
முத்து நவ ரத்தினமா
தூறல் கொட்டுதம்மா
Like a cool breeze in my heart, inside my heart, you...
...swirl and rise.
Like a full moon blooming,
blooming every single day.
Like precious pearls and nine gems,
a gentle shower falls, oh dear.
ஆச கத்திரி போல வெட்டுது
தேகம் கூச
ஆத்தி வெக்க படாம
எப்படி நானும் பேச
Desire cuts like a sharp pair of scissors,
making my body shiver.
Oh Lord, without feeling shy,
how can I even speak?
உன் கண்ணுல பூந்து பூந்து
நான் என்னையும் தேட
யார் எங்கிட்டு போன போதும்
வா நிக்குறேன் கூட
Entering deep into your eyes,
I search for myself.
No matter where anyone goes,
come, I stand right beside you.
உன் கண்ணுல பூந்து பூந்து
நான் என்னையும் தேட
யார் எங்கிட்டு போன போதும்
வா நிக்குறேன் கூட
Entering deep into your eyes,
I search for myself.
No matter where anyone goes,
come, I stand right beside you.
ஹூ ஊ ஊ ஊ ஊ ஊ ஊ ஊ ஊ ஊ
Huu uuu uuu uu uu huu uu
அன்புல ஊஞ்சல் ஆடி
நெஞ்சுல தூங்க வேணும்
கண்டத பேசுனாலும்
மந்திரம் போல தோணும்
Swinging in the cradle of love,
I want to sleep on your chest.
Even if you talk nonsense,
it feels like a sacred chant.
பாவி உன நானும்
பார்த்தா பசி தீரும்
ஊமை வெயில் கூட
ஓசியில் மழை தூவும்
Sinful as I am, just by...
...looking at you, my hunger is sated.
Even the silent, scorching heat,
will sprinkle free rain.
வேகம் வெக்கையிலும்
சோகம் தைக்கயிலும்
அன்பு தான் எப்பவும்
வைக்குதே ஒத்தடம்
In burning heat,
and when sorrow weighs down,
love alone always
applies a soothing warm compress.
உன் கண்ணுல பூந்து பூந்து
நான் என்னையும் தேட
யார் எங்கிட்டு போன போதும்
வா நிக்குறேன் கூட
Entering deep into your eyes,
I search for myself.
No matter where anyone goes,
come, I stand right beside you.
சந்திரனோட சாயல்
உன் முகம் தானே தாயி
உன்னையும் தாண்டி வேற
சொல்லிடுமோ என் வாயி
With the beauty of the moon,
your face shines, my dear.
Beyond you, would my mouth...
...ever speak of anyone else?
கூட்டி கழிக்காத
காதல் வரம்மாகும்
கோட்டை முனியா நீ
கூட இரு போதும்
Without calculations or trade-offs,
I want the divine boon of love.
Oh Guardian Deity Kotta Muniyane,
just stay with us, that is enough.
பாசம் பொங்கி வரும்
கோயில் தங்க ரதம்
இன்பமே கொட்டுதே
கண்ணையே கட்டுதே
Affection overflows,
like a golden temple chariot.
Pure joy showers upon us,
dazzling my very eyes.
எச காத்தா நெஞ்சுல நெஞ்சுல நீ
சுதி ஏத்த
நிறை மாச அம்புலி அம்புலியா
தெனம் பூத்த
முத்து நவ ரத்தினமா
தூறல் கொட்டுதம்மா
Like a cool breeze in my heart, inside my heart, you...
...swirl and rise.
Like a full moon blooming,
blooming every single day.
Like precious pearls and nine gems,
a gentle shower falls, my lord.
ஆச கத்திரி போல வெட்டுது
தேகம் கூச
ஆத்தி வெக்க படாம
எப்படி நானும் பேச
Desire cuts like a sharp pair of scissors,
making my body shiver.
Oh Lord, without feeling shy,

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a soul-stirring folk-pop duet celebrating unconditional love, deep emotional intimacy, and comforting companionship. The lyrics utilize rich rural Tamil imagery—such as cool winds ('Esa kaathu'), full moons ('Ambuli'), and gentle rain showers—to depict how the presence of a beloved brings immense solace, transforming even intense heat and sorrow into moments of healing. The lovers express that searching into each other's eyes helps them find their true selves, and that even mundane words spoken by the loved one sound like sacred chants ('manthiram'). As the song unfolds, the narrative blends romantic expression with spiritual devotion. The lyrics seek the blessings of local guardian deities ('Kotta Muniyane') for a love that remains unadulterated and free of calculation. Ultimately, the piece portrays affection as a soothing balm ('othadam') and a golden temple chariot ('koyil thanga radham') overflowing with endless joy.
