Oh oh oh oh
Once June is gone, the July breeze arrives
When eyes meet, the breeze of love arrives
When a flower blooms, sweet honey arrives
When a girl looks at you, a spark of fire arrives
I can't figure out what happened
Something happened, but I don't know what
It turned into friendship, there is no love
It turned into love, there is no friendship
Yesterday is not in our hands
Tomorrow is not in our bag
Only today is left in our hearts
My friend, who is all this drama for?
It is just for the grand drama of this entire earth
My love...
Yesterday is not in our hands
Tomorrow is not in our bag
Only today is left in our hearts
My friend, who is all this drama for?
It is just for the grand drama of this entire earth
Oh my love... my love
Once June is gone, the July breeze arrives
When eyes meet, the breeze of love arrives
When a flower blooms, sweet honey arrives
When a girl looks at you, a spark of fire arrives
Will rain ever fall inside a closed room?
Come outside with joy and cheer!
This ball of an earth
is our basketball
Even the vast sky
has become our roof today
Wash away the stains
from the spotted moon
Set the imprisoned minds free
like birds in flight
No flower has ever been seen
shedding tears
Once June is gone, the July breeze arrives
When eyes meet, the breeze of love arrives
When a flower blooms, sweet honey arrives
When a girl looks at you, a spark of fire arrives
I can't figure out what happened
Can't figure it out
Something happened, but I don't know what
It turned into friendship, there is no love
There is no love
It turned into love, there is no friendship
...........................
Shall we live open and free?
Shall we smile like an umbrella of flowers?
A sculptor's fingers can carve a statue
A woman's eyes can sculpt who we are
So many love stories
this earth has witnessed
So many changes have come
and gone
In this world, no one
is Rama (the perfect man)
I can't figure out what happened
Can't figure it out
Something happened, but I don't know what
It turned into friendship, there is no love
There is no love
It turned into love, there is no friendship...
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yesterday is not in our hands
Tomorrow is not in our bag
Only today is left in our hearts
My friend, who is all this drama for?
It is just for the grand drama of this entire earth
My love...
Yesterday is not in our hands
Tomorrow is not in our bag
Only today is left in our hearts
My friend, who is all this drama for?
It is just for the grand drama of this entire earth

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'June Ponaal July Kattrae' is a vibrant, youth-centric song from the 2007 romantic film Unnale Unnale. Written by veteran lyricist Vaali and composed by Harris Jayaraj, the song serves as a philosophy for urban youth. It emphasizes carpe diem—living in the present moment—by contrasting the non-existent past ('Netru enbathum kayil illai') and unpredictable future ('Naalai enbathum payil illai') with the vibrant reality of today.
