இதயம் என்னும் இவளின் செடியில்
இலைதான் முளைக்கிறதே
அடடா அதிசயம் ஆனால் உன்மை
முதல் பூ பூக்கிறதே
In the plant that is her heart,
A leaf is sprouting.
Oh, what a wonder, but it is true,
The very first flower is blooming.
இதயம் என்னும் இவளின் செடியில்
இலைதான் முளைக்கிறதே
அடடா அதிசயம் ஆனால் உன்மை
முதல் பூ பூக்கிறதே
In the plant that is her heart,
A leaf is sprouting.
Oh, what a wonder, but it is true,
The very first flower is blooming.
இவன் இவளது சொந்தம்
இது இறைவனின் பந்தம்
கவி கம்பனும் சொல்ல
அந்த காதலை மிஞ்சும்
அட உப்பும் இனிக்குது
சர்க்கரை கசக்குது
சுவையும் மறக்குது
நீ சொல் நிஜமா நீ சொல் நிஜமா
He belongs to her,
This is a divine bond from God,
Surpassing even the epic love,
Described by the great poet Kambar.
Ah, even salt tastes sweet,
Sugar tastes bitter,
And the sense of taste itself is forgotten,
You tell me, is this true? Is this true?
இதயம் என்னும் இவளின் செடியில்
இலைதான் முளைக்கிறதே
அடடா அதிசயம் ஆனால் உன்மை
முதல் பூ பூக்கிறதே
In the plant that is her heart,
A leaf is sprouting.
Oh, what a wonder, but it is true,
The very first flower is blooming.
இது வரை பார்த்த ஆண்களால்
சலனம் இருந்ததில்லை
ஒரு காதல் வாசம் ஏதுமே
இவளும் அறிந்ததில்லை
வேலி போட்டது வாழ்ந்ததால்
இதயம் திறந்ததில்லை
இன்று காற்று போல மோதினான்
இவள் வசம் இவளும் இல்லை
By the men she saw until now,
There was no temptation or flutter in her.
Any fragrance of love,
She had never known before.
Because she lived behind a protective fence,
Her heart had never opened.
Today he struck like the wind,
And she is no longer under her own control.
அவனின் உலகத்திலே இவளே ஒளியானால்
பாலைவனதினிலே பொழியும் மழையானால்
ஏனோ கொஞ்சம் பேதை நெஞ்சில்
புது வெட்கம் வருதே புது வெட்கம் வருதே
In his world, she became the guiding light,
She became the rain pouring over a dry desert.
Why, in this innocent heart,
A new shyness arrives, a new shyness arrives.
இதயம் என்னும் இவளின் செடியில்
இலைதான் முளைக்கிறதே
அடடா அதிசயம் ஆனால் உன்மை
முதல் பூ பூக்கிறதே
In the plant that is her heart,
A leaf is sprouting.
Oh, what a wonder, but it is true,
The very first flower is blooming.

கோலம் போடும் வாசலில்
காதல் வரைகிறதே
இனி தானாய் பேசும் காரணம்
இவனால் நிகழ்கிறதே
கோவில் போன போதிலும் கடவுள் மறக்கிறதே
கண்கள் மூடி நின்றாலும்
மனம் இவனை நினைகிறதே
At the doorstep where rangoli is drawn,
Love itself is drawing art.
The reason she talks to herself now,
Is happening because of him.
Even when going to the temple, God is forgotten,
Even standing with eyes closed,
The mind thinks only of him.
எங்கோ இருந்தவனை இருப்பிடம்
அழைத்து வந்தால்
அவனே சுவாசம் என காற்றை
மறுத்து விட்டால்
ஏனோ கொஞ்சம் பேதை நெஞ்சில்
புது வெட்கம் வருதே புது வெட்கம் வருதே
The one who came from nowhere,
She brought him into her realm.
Considering him as her breath, the air itself,
She refused to breathe.
Why, in this innocent heart,
A new shyness arrives, a new shyness arrives.
இதயம் என்னும் இவளின் செடியில்
இலைதான் முளைக்கிறதே
அடடா அதிசயம் ஆனால் உன்மை
முதல் பூ பூக்கிறதே
In the plant that is her heart,
A leaf is sprouting.
Oh, what a wonder, but it is true,
The very first flower is blooming.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Idhayam Ennum Ivalin Sediyil' from the film Pudhiya Payanam (2009) portrays the enchanting experience of a young woman discovering love for the very first time. Metaphorically comparing her heart to a young plant blooming its first flower, the lyrics capture her internal transformation. A woman who was previously reserved and guarded behind emotional walls finds her world upended as love enters like a gust of wind.
