ஹ்ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம்
ஹ்ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம் இதுவரை
இல்லாத உணர்விது
இதயத்தில் உண்டான
கனவிது பலித்திடும்
அந்நாளை தேடிடும்
பாடல் கேட்டாயோ
Hmm Hmm…..
Hmm Hmm….
This is a feeling never felt before
This is a dream born inside the heart
Did you hear the song searching for the day it comes true?
இதுவரை
இல்லாத உணர்விது
இதயத்தில் உண்டான
கனவிது பலித்திடும்
அந்நாளை தேடிடும்
பாடல் கேட்டாயோ
This is a feeling never felt before
This is a dream born inside the heart
Did you hear the song searching for the day it comes true?
மூடாமல் மூடி
மறைத்தது தானாக பூத்து
வருகுது தேடாமல் தேடி
கிடைத்தது இங்கே
That which was hidden without being formally covered
Is blooming all on its own
Found here without even searching
மூடாமல் மூடி
மறைத்தது தானாக பூத்து
வருகுது தேடாமல் தேடி
கிடைத்தது இங்கே
As a joy comes and overflows here
When will my true state be understood?
Unbearable and sleepless,
The days pass by...
இங்கே ஒரு
இன்பம் வந்து நிறைய
எப்போது என் உண்மை
நிலை அறிய தாங்காமலும்
தூங்காமலும் நாள் செல்லுதே
A dream that comes daily out of nowhere
It torments sweetly without killing
How do I describe this bliss?
You must come as my companion
My journey is along a long road, oh...
இல்லாமலே
நித்தம் வரும் கனவு
கொல்லாமல் கொள்ள
சுகம் என்னென்று சொல்ல
நீ துணை வர வேண்டும்
நீண்ட வழி என் பயணம் ஓ....
Coming together and blending there
Like the white cloud and the white moon
Who will understand the thoughts of my heart...
அங்கே அங்கே
வந்து வந்து கலக்கும்
வெண்மேகமும்
வெண்ணிலவும் போல
எந்தன் மன எண்ணங்களை
யார் அறிவார்
My heart is not like yours
Some kind of change
An appearance whose state isn't understood
என் நெஞ்சமோ
உன் போல அல்ல ஏதோ
ஓர் மாற்றம் நிலை புரியாத
தோற்றம்
This is not permanent
It is just a state of mind that will change, oh...
இது நிரந்தரம்
அல்ல மாறிவிடும் மன
நிலை தான் ஓஓ
Three hundred feelings in the heart
Pearl-like relationships have blossomed
Doors have opened on their own
Right before us
{ மனதிலே
முன்னூறு உணர்வுகள்
மலர்ந்ததே முத்தான
உணர்வுகள் திறந்ததே
தன்னாலே கதவுகள்
நமக்கு முன்னாலே } (2)
The body has now awakened
The gentle breeze spread over me
Infatuation moves forward ahead
{ தேகம் இப்போது
உணர்ந்தது தென்றல் என்
மீது படர்ந்தது மோகம்
முன்னேறி வருகுது முன்னே } (2)

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This iconic track 'Idhu Varai' from the film Goa (2010) captures the gentle awakening of deep love and attraction between two individuals. The lyrics articulate how new feelings take root without effort, comparing the emotional shift to blossoming flowers, passing breezes, and the ethereal coming together of clouds and the moon. The song delves into the duality of love—how it brings both sleepless restlessness and profound inner bliss.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Moonaai (Initial Alliteration)
“Moodamal moodi maraithadhu”
Repetition of the 'M' sound ('Moodamal', 'moodi', 'maraithadhu') creates a rich, rhythmic cadence in the line.
Upamai (Simile)
“Venmeghamum vennilavum pola”
Compares the seamless meeting of two lovers/souls to the natural union of white clouds and the moon.
Edhukai (Second Letter Rhyming)
“Manadhilae munnooru unarvugal / Malarndhadhae muthaana uravugal”
Harmonious second-letter rhyming pattern across successive lines ('Manadhilae', 'Malarndhadhae', 'Thirandhadhae').
