| Kaadhal thantha vali theerum | The pain given by love will heal, |
| Kangalinaalae | Through the eyes. |

| Kalanthathinaalae | Have blended together. |

காதல் தந்த
வலி தீரும் கண்களினாலே
கண்ணீரோடு முத்தங்கள்
கலந்ததினாலே
The pain given by love will heal,
Through the eyes.
Because kisses with tears,
Have blended together.
காயம் படும்
வேலை காதல் மருந்தாகும்
காதல் மடி மீது உயிரும்
புதிதாகும்
At the time wounds are suffered,
Love becomes the medicine.
Upon the lap of love,
Life itself becomes renewed.
Kaadhal thantha vali theerum
The pain given by love will heal,
Kangalinaalae
Through the eyes.
Kaneerodu muththangal
Because kisses with tears,
Kalanthathinaalae
Have blended together.
Kaayam padum velai
At the time wounds are suffered,
Kaadhal marunthagum
Love becomes the medicine.
Kaadhal madi meedhu
Upon the lap of love,
Uyirum pudhithaagum
Life itself becomes renewed.
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poignant stanza reflects on the healing power of love amidst emotional pain. It expresses how sorrow caused by love can be cured through intimate understanding—where tears of pain blend with affectionate kisses and tender gazes. It highlights that whenever a heart is wounded, love itself acts as the ultimate medicine. Resting on the comforting lap of love allows a person's spirit to be renewed and reborn.
