| Idai kaiyirandil aadum… | The waist sways between two hands... |
| Siru kannirandum moodum | Both small eyes close |
| Uyir thannai neengi | Leaving its own life force |
| Aasaiyil thaavi odudhe…. | It leaps and runs in desire... |
| Kaadhal geetham paadumae… | It sings a song of love... |
| Female | |
| Vizhi moodum podhum paarkkum | It sees even when the eyes are closed |
| Idhazh thoongum podhum pesum | It speaks even when the lips are sleeping |
| Idai saayum podhum | Even when the waist leans |
| Kaadhalin saaram koorudhe | It conveys the essence of love |
| Aasai geetham paadume | It sings a song of desire |
| Female | |
| Andhi neram vandhaale | When the evening time arrives |
| Kaadhal vegam undaagum | The intensity of love arises |
| Petra thaayai kanda podhum | Even upon seeing one's birth mother |
| Nenjil kobam undaagum | Anger arises in the heart |
| Male | |
| Pirar paarththu vittaalum | Even if others happen to look |
| Penmai naannam kondaadum | Womanhood celebrates shyness |
| Adhai paarkka paarkka | Watching that again and again |
| Kaalai nenjil bodhai undaagum | Intoxication arises in the young man's heart |
| Adhai paarkka paarkka | Watching that again and again |
| Kaalai nenjil bodhai undaagum | Intoxication arises in the young man's heart |

இடை கையிரெண்டில் ஆடும்...
சிறு கண்ணிரெண்டும் மூடும்...
உயிர் தன்னை நீங்கி ஆசையில் தாவி ஓடுதே...
காதல் கீதம் பாடுமே...
The waist sways between two hands...
Both small eyes close
Leaving its own life force
It leaps and runs in desire...
It sings a song of love...
விழி மூடும் போதும் பார்க்கும்..
இதழ் தூங்கும் போதும் பேசும் ......
இடை சாயும் போது காதலின் சாரம் கூறுமே....
ஆசை கீதம் பாடுமே...
It sees even when the eyes are closed
It speaks even when the lips are sleeping
Even when the waist leans
It conveys the essence of love
It sings a song of desire
அந்தி நேரம் வந்தாலே
காதல் வேகம் உண்டாகும்
பெற்றத் தாயை கண்ட போதும்
நெஞ்சில் கோபம் உண்டாகும்
When the evening time arrives
The intensity of love arises
Even upon seeing one's birth mother
Anger arises in the heart
அந்தி நேரம் வந்தாலே
காதல் வேகம் உண்டாகும்
பெற்றத் தாயை கண்ட போதும்
நெஞ்சில் கோபம் உண்டாகும்
Even if others happen to look
Womanhood celebrates shyness
Watching that again and again
Intoxication arises in the young man's heart
Watching that again and again
Intoxication arises in the young man's heart
பிறர் பார்த்துவிட்டாலும்
பெண்மை நாணம் கொண்டாடும்
அதை பார்க்க பார்க்க
காளை நெஞ்சில் போதை உண்டாகும்
அதை பார்க்க பார்க்க
காளை நெஞ்சில் போதை உண்டாகும்
The waist sways between two hands...
Both small eyes close
Leaving its own life force
It leaps and runs in desire...
It sings a song of love...
இடை கையிரெண்டில் ஆடும்...
சிறு கண்ணிரெண்டும் மூடும்...
உயிர் தன்னை நீங்கி ஆசையில் தாவி ஓடுதே...
காதல் கீதம் பாடுமே...
Without even a small separation
With wings of joy
We will fly endlessly
Like birds
சிறு பிரிவுமில்லாமல்
இன்ப சிறகுகளாலே
ஒரு முடிவுமின்றி பறந்து செல்வோம்
பறவைகள் போலே
Without even a small separation
With wings of joy
We will fly endlessly
Like birds
சிறு பிரிவுமில்லாமல்
இன்ப சிறகுகளாலே
ஒரு முடிவுமின்றி பறந்து செல்வோம்
பறவைகள் போலே
Without any difference between us
Through the love that united us
Forming a deep bond
We merged our souls as if we were one
Forming a deep bond
We merged our souls as if we were one
ஒரு பேதமில்லாமல்
சேர்ந்த காதலினாலே
நாம் உறவுக் கொண்டு
உயிர் கலந்தோம் ஒருவரைப் போலே
நாம் உறவுக் கொண்டு
உயிர் கலந்தோம் ஒருவரைப் போலே
இனி காலம் எங்கள் காலம்..
சுக வாழ்வு எங்கள் வாழ்வு
உயர் பூமியெல்லாம் காதலின் கீதையாகுமே...
தென்றல் கீதம் பாடுமே..
ஆஅ.....ஆஅ.....ஆ.....ஆ.....ஆ.....
ம்ம்ம்....ம்ம்ம்..ம்ம்ம்..ம்ம்....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This romantic song captures the intoxicating and transcendent nature of deep love and intimacy. The opening lines depict the sensory trance of romance, where love transcends physical state—seeing through closed eyes and speaking through silent lips. As twilight falls, passion intensifies to the point where any external intrusion, even from a mother, is felt as an unwanted distraction. In the second half, the theme shifts from passionate longing to eternal union. The lovers envision flying boundlessly on 'wings of joy' like birds, free from separation or inequality. Ultimately, their physical and emotional connection merges their distinct souls into a single unified existence.
