Two birds
All across the hills
Flew here and everywhere
Hidden behind the leaves
Two sweet fruits
Ripened right over there
This is a secret told by the eyes
You are a wonder gifted by God
Two birds
All across the hills
Flew here and everywhere
La, la la la la la la, la la la
La la la, la la, la la la la la la la, la la la
The clouds drizzling gentle rain
The flowers singing in sweet rhythm
The clouds drizzling gentle rain
The flowers singing in sweet rhythm
The joyful rush of a fresh stream
The sky moving like a chariot under a canopy of flowers
As the river runs like a graceful deer
They watched and enjoyed a thousand wonders
Two birds
All across the hills
Flew here and everywhere
La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la laa
La la la la la la la, la la la la la laa
The colors overflowing in the blossoms
The forests where flowers sway and dance
Everywhere I look, I see him
Everywhere he looks, he sees me
From now on, as 'you' and 'I'
We can never be addressed apart or separated
Two birds
All across the hills
Flew here and everywhere
Hidden behind the leaves
Two sweet fruits
Ripened right over there
This is a secret told by the eyes
You are a wonder gifted by God
La la la la la la, la la la la la laa
La la la la la la, la la la la la laa

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Iru Paravaigal' from Niram Maaratha Pookkal poetically captures the blossoming of romance set against a pristine, misty mountain landscape. Kannadasan compares the two lovers to a pair of birds freely soaring across hills and sweet fruits quietly ripening amidst lush foliage. The lyrics depict love as a divine wonder that transforms how the lovers perceive the natural world around them. As their affection deepens, the boundaries between the lovers dissolve entirely. They begin seeing each other reflected everywhere in nature—in the drizzle on bamboos, the blooming flowers, and the sky—ultimately realizing that their individual identities have merged so completely that they can no longer be separated.
