இரவாக நீ
நிலவாக நான்
உறவாடும் நேரம்
சுகம் தானடா
You as the night
Me as the moon
The time when we connect
Is pure bliss, my dear
தொலையும்
நொடி கிடைத்தேனடி
இதுதானோ காதல்
அறிந்தேனடி
At the moment I was lost
I found myself, my girl
Is this what love is?
I realized it, my girl
கரை நீ பெண்ணா
உன்னை தீண்டும்
அலையாய் நானே
Are you the shore, my girl?
That touches you
I am like the wave
ஓ நுரையாகி
நெஞ்சம் துடிக்க ஒன்றோடு
ஒன்றாய் கலக்க என்னுயிரே
காதோரம் காதல் உரைக்க
Oh, turning into foam
With heart beating fast
To merge into one another as one
Oh my life
To whisper love in your ear
ஓ ஒரு பாா்வை
வேண்டும் இறக்க என்னுயிரே
மறு பாா்வை போதும் பிறக்க
Oh, one glance
Is needed to show mercy
Oh my life, another glance
Is enough for me to be reborn
இரவாக நீ
நிலவாக நான்
உறவாடும் நேரம்
சுகம் தானடா
You as the night
Me as the moon
The time when we connect
Is pure bliss, my dear
தொலையும்
நொடி கிடைத்தேனடி
இதுதானோ காதல்
அறிந்தேனடி
At the moment I was lost
I found myself, my girl
Is this what love is?
I realized it, my girl
விழி தொட்டதா
விரல் தொட்டதா எனதாண்மை
தீண்டி பெண்மை பூ பூத்ததா
Did the eyes touch, or did the fingers touch?
Touching my masculinity, did femininity
Bloom like a flower?
அனல் சுட்டதா
குளிா் விட்டதா அடடா
என் நாணம் இன்று
விடை பெற்றதா
Did the heat burn, or did the cold release?
Oh my, has my shyness today
Taken leave and departed?
நீ நான் மட்டும்
வாழ்கின்ற உலகம் போதும்
உன் தோள் சாயும்
இடம் போதுமே
Just you and me
The world we live in is enough
Leaning on your shoulder
That place alone is enough
உன் போ்
சொல்லி சிலிா்க்கின்ற
இன்பம் போதும் இறந்தாலும்
மீண்டும் பிழைப்பேன்
Saying your name
The bliss of getting thrill is enough
Even if I die, I will survive again
ஒன்றோடு
ஒன்றாய் கலக்க என்னுயிரே
காதோரம் காதல் உரைக்க
To merge into one another as one
Oh my life
To whisper love in your ear
மழை என்பதா
வெயில் என்பதா பெண்ணே
உன் பேரன்பை நான்
புயல் என்பதா
Shall I call it rain?
Shall I call it sunshine?
Girl, your great love
Shall I call it a storm?
மெய் என்பதா
பொய் என்பதா மெய்யான
பொய் தான் இங்கே
மெய் ஆனதா
Shall I call it truth?
Shall I call it a lie?
Only a truthful lie here
Has become the truth
அடியே பெண்ணே
அறியாத பிள்ளை நானே
தாய் போல் என்னை
நீ தாங்க வா
Oh my girl
I am an innocent child
Like a mother
Come to hold and support me
மடி மேல் அன்பே
பொன் ஊஞ்சல் நானும் செய்தே
தாலாட்ட உன்னை அழைப்பேன்
On my lap, my love
Making a golden swing
I will invite you to sing a lullaby

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a tender and intimate romantic duet that expresses the deep emotional and physical connection between two lovers. They describe their relationship using vivid natural imagery, contrasting and pairing themselves as the night and the moon, or the shore and the wave that foam upon contact. The lyrics articulate how love brings rebirth, dissolves shyness, and creates a cozy world where only the two of them exist. Written with poetic depth by Na. Muthukumar, the song captures the paradoxes of love—how it can feel like both a gentle rain and a fierce storm, or how a playful fantasy becomes the ultimate reality. The couple expresses mutual comfort, viewing each other as sanctuary, comfort, and life itself.
