உன்னைக் காணத் துடிக்குதே
ஒரு காலம் நேரம் இன்றி என்றும்
உன்னைத் தேடித் தவிக்குதே
கண்ணனின் காதிலே ராதையின் பாடலே
சென்று தான் சேருமா அந்த நாள் கூடுமா
ஒரு காதல் விரக
நோயின் நிலையைச் சொல்லவா
இந்த நோய்க்கு மருந்து உனது வரவு
உனக்கது தெரியும் அல்லவா

In the kingdom named Love, on that very day
He became the minister of the department of love
Ohoho ho... ho... oo... oo...

The cure for this disease is your arrival
You know that very well, don't you?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from the movie Ajantha celebrates the awakening of youth and romance. It portrays a young man discovering love like a tribal caveman discovering a beautiful bloom, stepping into the realm of romance as if appointed as its primary leader or minister. The lyrics express the intense longing of separation (viragam), comparing the lover's plea to Radha's devotional and romantic song seeking Krishna's presence as the ultimate cure for heartbreak. The composition blends playful storytelling with classic Carnatic swaras and solkattu rhythms, echoing the breeze carrying messages of love.

The lover's pain of separation is metaphorically described as an illness ('viraga noyi') whose only cure ('marundhu') is the beloved's presence.
