Idhazhin oru oram sirithaai anbae
Nijamaai ithu pothum sirippaai anbae
En naadiyai silirka vaithaai
En iravellaam velicham thanthaai
En aan garvam maranthindru
Un munnae paniya vaithaai
Sollu nee i love you
Nee thaan en kurinji poo
En kaadhal endrum true
Will make sure you never feel go
Oh ellaam marathu un pinnaal varuven
Nee sammathithaal naan nilavaiyum tharuven
Un nizhal tharai padum dhooram nadanthen
Antha nodiyai thaan kavithaiyai varainthen
Oh pennae en kannae senthenae vaa munnae
En uyirukkul peyarai vaithai

Sollu nee i love you
Nee thaan en kurinji poo
En kaadhal endrum true
Will make sure you never feel go
Sollu nee i love you..oh penne
Nee thaan en kurinji poo..oh penne
En kaadhal endrum true..oh penne
Will make sure you never feel go
You smiled with just the corner of your lips, my love
Truly, this is enough; keep smiling, my love
You sent shivers through my veins
You brought light into all my nights
Forgetting my male pride today
You made me bow before you
Just say "I love you"
You are my Kurinji (rare blooming flower)
My love is forever true
I will make sure you never feel cold
Oh, forgetting everything, I will follow you
If you say yes, I will even bring you the moon
I walked as close as where your shadow falls upon the ground
That very moment, I painted into a poem
Oh girl, the apple of my eye, my sweet honey, come to me
You etched your name inside my soul
You sent shivers through my veins
You brought light into all my nights
Forgetting my male pride today
You made me bow before you... made me bow...
{Oh girl, the apple of my eye, my sweet honey, come to me
You etched your name inside my soul} (2)
Just say "I love you"
You are my Kurinji (rare blooming flower)
My love is forever true
I will make sure you never feel cold
Just say "I love you", oh girl
You are my Kurinji (rare blooming flower), oh girl
My love is forever true, oh girl
I will make sure you never feel cold

Overall song meaning

Idhazhin Oru Oram is a deeply romantic song from the movie 3 (2012) that captures the tender, transformative power of love. The protagonist expresses how a single subtle smile from his beloved illuminates his world, dispelling darkness and melting away his male pride and ego to leave him in complete surrender.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Metaphor (Uvamai)

“Nee thaan en kurinji poo”

Compares the beloved to the rare 'Kurinji Poo', a flower that blooms only once every 12 years in the Western Ghats, symbolizing how precious and rare she is to him.

Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navirtchi)

“Nee sammathithaal naan nilavaiyum tharuven”

Exaggerates romantic devotion by offering to bring down the moon if the lover agrees.

End Rhyme / Iyaibu

“Sollu nee i love you / Nee thaan en kurinji poo / En kaadhal endrum true”

Uses English-Tamil hybrid rhyming words at line ends ('you', 'poo', 'true', 'go') to create a rhythmic, catchy cadence.
