....................................
என் காலைகள் மாறி போனது
என் மாலைகள் நீண்டு போகுது
உன் வருகையால் ஏதோ ஆனது
நல்ல கவிதையாய் எல்லாம் மாறுது
My mornings have changed
My evenings stretch on longer
Because of your arrival, something magical happened
Everything is turning into beautiful poetry
என் எண்ணங்கள் எல்லை தாண்டுது
என் தாபங்கள் என்னை சீண்டுது
உன்னை தொட கூடாதென்று தோணுது
இருந்தும் தொடுவதை ஏதோ தூண்டுது
My thoughts are crossing all boundaries
My desires are teasing me
I feel like I shouldn't touch you
And yet, something prompts me to touch you
ஹே லவ் ஜோஷ்வா
உன்னுள் நான் சென்று பார்க்கவா
சோ வாட்ஸ் தி டீல்
ஆர் யூ கோன்ன பீ ஜஸ்ட் மைன்.....
Hey love Joshua
Shall I step inside you and explore?
So what’s the deal
Are you gonna be just mine…?
வோ ஹோ.....
Wo hooo..
ஹே லவ் ஜோஷ்வா
எந்தன் உலகத்தை காணவா
There’s lotta chaos but trust me
Its divine….
Hey love Joshua
Come see my world
There’s lotta chaos but trust me
Its divine….
கண் அடிகடி உன்னை காட்டுது
உன் பார்வையுள் என்னை மாட்டுது
உன் நிழலினுள் நிற்க தோணுது
புது கனவினுள் காலை ஊன்றுது
My eyes keep showing you to me constantly
Your gaze traps me within it
I feel like standing in your shadow
Stepping into a brand new dream
என் சட்டை மேல் உந்தன் வாசனை
அதை பற்றியே எந்தன் யோசனை
அவ் வாசனை எப்போதும் வீச வை
நல்ல தமிழிலே என்னை பேச வை
Your fragrance lingers on my shirt
My thoughts revolve around it alone
May that fragrance blow around forever
Make me speak in pure, sweet Tamil
ஹே லவ் ஜோஷ்வா
உன்னுள் நான் சென்று பார்க்கவா
சோ வாட்ஸ் தி டீல்
ஆர் யூ கோன்ன பீ ஜஸ்ட் மைன்.....?
Hey love Joshua
Shall I step inside you and explore?
So what’s the deal
Are you gonna be just mine…?
ஹோ ஹோ......
Hoo hoo..

எந்தன் உலகத்தை காணவா
There’s lotta chaos but trust me
Its divine….
Hey love Joshua
Come see my world
There’s lotta chaos but trust me
Its divine….
கண்கள் போல் நான் என்றும் உனக்கு
இமைபோல நீ என்றும் எனக்கு
இடையே இடைவெளிகளும் எதற்கு
வேறேதும் தேவையா நமக்கு......
I will forever be like the eyes to you
And you will forever be like the protective eyelids to me
Why should there be any distance between us?
Do we need anything else?
சொல்வாயா.....நீ.....
Will you tell me...?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Hey Love' from 'Joshua Imai Pol Kaakha' is a soothing romantic track expressing the transformative power of love and the urge to protect one's beloved. The narrator describes how love alters everyday life—mornings feel fresh, evenings stretch longer, and mundane thoughts turn into poetic feelings. Despite inner hesitations and sensory distractions, the love feels deep, pure, and almost divine. The emotional core of the song revolves around mutual care and intimacy, beautifully summed up in the lines comparing the lovers to eyes and eyelashes ('Kangal' and 'Imai'). This directly mirrors the film's title, symbolizing a protective shield that guards the beloved against a chaotic world.
