காதல் மகராணி
கவிதை பூ விரித்தாள்
புதுக் கவிதை பூ விரித்து
கனவில் தேன் தெளித்தாள்
முத்துப் போல் சிரித்தாள்
மொட்டுப் போல் மலர்ந்தாள்
விழியால் இவள் கணை தொடுத்தாள்
The queen of love
Spread a flower of poetic verse
Spreading a flower of new poetry
She sprinkled honey in my dreams
She smiled bright like pearls
She blossomed like a melody
She shot an arrow with her eyes
இந்தக் காதல் மகராணி
கவிதை பூ விரித்தாள்
புதுக் கவிதை பூ விரித்து
கனவில் தேன் தெளித்தாள்
This queen of love
Spread a flower of poetic verse
Spreading a flower of new poetry
She sprinkled honey in my dreams
பூவை நீ பூ மடல்
பூ உடல் தேன் கடல்
தேன் கடலில் தினமே
குளித்தால் மகிழ்வேன்...
Oh lady, you are like a flower petal
Your flower-like body is an ocean of honey
In this ocean of honey every single day
I will rejoice if I bathe
மான் விழி ஏங்குது
மையலும் ஏறுது
பூங்கொடியை பனி போல்
மெதுவாய் தழுவு.....
Her deer-like eyes are longing
Infatuation is steadily rising
Like dew falling on a flowering creeper
Embrace me gently
கண்ணே உந்தன் கூந்தல் ஓரம்
கண்கள் மூடித் தூங்கும் நேரம்
Oh dear, beside the edges of your hair
When eyes close and fall asleep
இன்பம் கோடி ஊஞ்சல் ஆடும்
உள்ளம் போகும் ஊர்வலம்
A million pleasures swing in a cradle
The heart goes on a joyous procession
காதல் மகராணி
கவிதை பூ விரித்தாள்
The queen of love
Spread a flower of poetic verse
ஹ்ம்ம்.....ம்ம்ம்.....ம்ம்ம்....ம்ம்....

பஞ்சணை கூடத்தில் பால் நிலா காயுதே
நான் எனையே மறந்தேன் கனவில் மிதந்தேன்
Inside the cozy bedchamber
The milky moonlight shines bright
I forgot my own self
I floated away in a dream
உன் முக தீபத்தில்
ஓவியம் மின்னுதே
உன் அழகால்
இரவைப் பகலாய் அறிந்தேன்
In the lamp-like glow of your face
A painting glimmers
Because of your ethereal beauty
I mistook the night for day
மண்ணில் உள்ள இன்பம் யாவும்
இங்கே இன்று நாமும் காண்போம்
All the pleasures found on this earth
We shall experience here today
அன்பே அந்த தேவலோக
சொர்க்கம் இங்கே தேடுவோம்
My love, that heavenly
Paradise, let us seek it right here
காதல் யுவராஜா
கவிதை பூ விரித்தான்
புதுக் கவிதை பூ விரித்து
கனவில் தேன் தெளித்தான்
முத்துப் போல் எடுத்தான்
தொட்டுத்தான் அணைத்தான்
விழியால் இவன் கணை தொடுத்தான்
இந்தக் காதல் யுவராஜா
கவிதை பூ விரித்தான்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Kaadhal Magaraani' from the 1987 movie Kadhal Parisu is a romantic duet expressing the deep passion, admiration, and dreamlike ecstasy shared between two lovers. The male protagonist compares his beloved to a royal queen of love whose beauty, soft touch, and captivating gaze light up his world like poetry and sweetness. The female protagonist responds with equal fervor, addressing him as her prince of love, describing how his presence transforms the night into bright daylight and brings heavenly bliss down to earth. Through lush imagery of honey oceans, soft dew on flowers, and moonlight in bedchambers, the song celebrates intimacy, devotion, and the surreal feeling of falling deeply in love.
