Hey, I love you, I love you, I love you
பசும்புல் பாய்கள் விரிக்கும்
பனியில் பூக்கள் குவிக்கும்
இதயமே மதுவிலே நனையுமே
Green grass spreads out like mats
Flowers bathe in the fresh dew
The heart gets soaked in sweet nectar
இதுதான் மாலை விருந்து
மலரே நீயும் அருந்து
இரவிலே மயங்கலாம் நிலவிலே
This is an evening feast
Oh flower, you drink it too
We can swoon in the night under the moonlight
காதோரம் மெல்ல கூறும் சேதி
தேன் போலே பாயாதோ
The news whispered softly near the ear
Won't it flow like sweet honey?
நீராடும் வண்ண பூவும் நாளை
பூமஞ்சம் போராடுதோ
Tomorrow, the colorful flower bathing in water
Won't it lay out a bed of flowers?
லா.....லல லா.....லல லா......
Laa… lala laa…. lala laa….

மலையோ முத்தம் கொடுக்கும்
இயற்கையின் காதலால் மயங்குது
The garment gently moves aside
The hand touches and grows familiar
Dreams grow in paradise
தேனூறும் கன்னி பூவைச் சூடும்
பூங்காற்றும் நான் தானே
Clouds float in the sky
The mountain gives a kiss
Even nature swoons in romantic love
போராடும் பள்ளிக்கூட தேனும்
பூச்செண்டும் நான் தானே
Adorning the young virgin flower oozing nectar
I am that gentle breeze
லா லலலா.....லாலா......
Seeking the nuptial chamber filled with sweet struggle
I am that flower bouquet

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Hey I Love You' from the movie 'Unnai Naan Sandhithaen' (1984) is a romantic track celebrating youth, love, and intimacy. Set during the golden hour of twilight, the lyrics describe lovers surrendering to the divine spell cast by Manmadhan, the Hindu god of love. The song portrays nature—dew-soaked flowers, soft winds, floating clouds, and moonlight—as an active participant in their romance. The emotional progression moves from exuberant vocal declarations of love to evocative imagery of touch, warmth, and shared dreams. Rich in sensory details, the lyrics capture the intoxicating bliss of young love where time seems to slow down under the magic of the evening breeze.
