ஹோ ஓ
காதல் கண்ணாடி…
ஹோ ஓ
காதல் கண்ணாடி…
Ho ooo oo
Mirror of love
Ho ooo oo
Mirror of love
அழகே மாய திமிரே
நீ இருந்தால் அது போதும்
அடியே நீ சிரித்தால்
ஆழம் வரை தடுமாறும்
Oh beauty, magical pride!
Having you around is enough
Oh girl, if you smile
It stumbles to the very depths
ஓஹோ! பட பட பட வென
அடை மழை அடிக்குது
நினைக்கும் நேரத்துல
நிலவும் தரையில்
Oho.. pitter-patter…
Rapidly
Heavy rain pours down
The moment I think of you
இறங்கி வருதே
நெருங்கும் தூரத்துல
Even the moon comes down
To the ground
Within reachable distance
ஓஹோ… தொடா தொடா தொடா
ஒரு ஆசை அலையுது
மனதின் ஓரத்துல
தொடவும் அஞ்சி விடவும் அஞ்சி
தொலைந்தேன் மௌனத்தில
Oho.. to touch, to touch, to touch
A desire wanders
At the edge of the heart
Afraid to touch
Afraid to let go
I got lost in silence
ஓ! ஏதேதோ ஆகி போனேன்
எல்லாமே மாறி போனேன்
நீதானே என் காதல் கண்ணாடி
Oho.. I became something else
Everything within me changed
You alone are my mirror of love
ஓ! ஏதேதோ ஆகி போனேன்
எல்லாமே மாறி போனேன்
நான் உன் மூச்சில்
நொறுங்கி போகும் காதல் கண்ணாடி
Oho.. I became something else
Everything within me changed
I am the mirror of love
Shattering to pieces
In your breath
ஹோ ஓ
காதல் கண்ணாடி…
ஹோ ஓ
காதல் கண்ணாடி…
Ho ooo oo

Oooo..hooo..aaa
Even if I go near the seashore
Even if I go to see God
What my eyes see
Is only your face
ஓஓஓ… கடற் கரை
பக்கம் போனாலும்
கடவுளை பார்க்க போனாலும்
எந்தன் கண்கள் காணும்
உன் முகமே
Hoo…
Even if it is a long-distance journey
Even if I walk through rocks and thorns
What my breath needs
Is your fragrance…
ஹோ
நெடுவழி பயணம் ஆனாலும்
கல் முல் கடந்து போனாலும்
எந்தன் மூச்சில் வேண்டும்
உன் மனமே
Oh ho.. just once, just once
If I speak with you and leave
On both my ears
Wings sprout, I wonder why
ஹோய்! ஒரே முறை ஒரே முறை
உன்னோடு பேசி சென்றாலே
செவி இரண்டிலும்
சிறகுகள் முளைக்கும் ஏனோ
Oh ho.. just once, just once
If I touch your body and leave
Stars bloom on my fingernails
Why, oh why… why
ஏய்! ஒரே முறை ஒரே முறை
உன் தேகம் தொட்டு போனாலே
விரல் நாகங்களில்
விண்மீன் பூக்கும்
ஏனோ… ஏனோ… ஏனோ…
Separate dreams for you
And for me
Do not exist in this world anymore
Far away where no humans live
Shall we die together?
உனக்கென எனக்கென
தனி தனி கனவுகள்
உலகில் இனி இல்லையே
மனிதர் இல்லா தொலைவில் எங்கோ
மறைந்தே போவமா…
Right or wrong,
Big or small,
Differences no longer exist between us
I am for you,
You are for me,
Shall we live as shadows to each other?
சரியென தவறென
பெரிதன சிறிதன
நமக்குள் இனி இல்லையே
உனக்கு நானும் எனக்கு நீயும்
நிழலாய் வாழ்வோமா
Oho.. I became something else
Everything within me changed
You alone are my mirror of love
ஓஓ! ஏதேதோ ஆகி போனேன்
எல்லாமே மாறி போனேன்
நீதானே என் காதல் கண்ணாடி
Oho.. I became something else
Everything within me changed
I am the mirror of love
Shattering to pieces
In your breath
ஓ! ஏதேதோ ஆகி போனேன்
எல்லாமே மாறி போனேன்
நான் உன் மூச்சில்
நொறுங்கி போகும் காதல் கண்ணாடி

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Kaadhal Kannadi' is an evocative expression of deep, consuming love and poetic vulnerability. The protagonist describes how love transforms their inner world, comparing their lover to a reflective glass mirror through which they see their own true emotions. Simple moments—like seeing a smile, hearing a voice, or feeling a subtle touch—evoke grand surreal imagery, such as wings sprouting from ears, stars blossoming on fingernails, and the moon descending to Earth.
