இவன் தான் என்
கனவோடு வருபவனோ
என் மனதோடு வாழ்பவனோ
என் உயிரோடு கலந்தவனோ
என் வயதோடு கரைந்தவனோ
He is the one...
Is he the one who enters my dreams?
Is he the one who lives within my heart?
Is he the one who has merged with my soul?
Is he the one who has dissolved into my age?
இவன் தான்.....
என் இதழோடு சிரிப்பவனோ
என் இரவோடு விழிப்பவனோ
என் இமையாக துடிப்பவனோ
என் சுமையாக இருப்பவனோ
He is the one...
Is he the one who smiles through my lips?
Is he the one who stays awake through my nights?
Is he the one who flutters like my eyelids?
Is he the one who will become my sweet burden?
என் கூந்தல் காட்டில்
தொலைந்திடுவானோ என்னை
கூறு போட வருபவனோ இந்த
சிறுக்கி மனசை பிடித்திடுவானோ
என் ஆசை பொறுக்கி ஆயுள் வரை
இவன் இவன் தான்
In the forest of my hair,
Will he get lost?
Is he coming to tear me into pieces?
Will he win over the heart of this mischievous girl?
My desirable rogue, until the end of my life...
He, he is the one,
இவன் தான்
என் பாவாடை பூக்களிலே
ஒரு தேன் தேட பிறந்தவனோ
என் தேய்கின்ற நினைவுகளை
தேன் நிலவாக்க பிறந்தவனோ
He is the one,
Among the floral patterns on my skirt,
Was he born to search for honey?
My fading memories,
Was he born to turn them into a honeymoon?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song captures the blissful inner monologue of a young woman who is falling deeply in love and wondering if her lover is truly her destined soulmate. She playfully questions whether he is the one who occupies her dreams, thoughts, soul, and daily life, expressing a romantic surrender to his presence.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Anaphora (Mondhai / Refrain)
“En kanavodu varubavano / En manadhodu vaazhbavano / En uyirodu kalandhavano”
Repeated use of 'En' (My) at the beginning of consecutive lines creates a rhythmic, introspective, and highly personal tone.
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“En koondhal kaatil”
'Koondhal kaatil' (Forest of hair) metaphorically compares dense, long hair to a thick forest where one can get lost.
End Rhyme (Iyaibu)
“En idhazhodu siripavano / En iravodu vizhipavano / En imaiyaaga thudipavano”
Uniform poetic ending '-vano' across multiple lines enhances the musical cadence and rhetorical questioning.
