காதல் என்றால் ஆணும் பெண்ணும்
இருவர் வேண்டுமன்றோ
இல்லாமல் எதுவும் இல்லையன்றோ
இல்லாமல் எதுவும் இல்லையன்றோ
If it is love, a man and a woman,
Both of them are needed, isn't it?
Without that, nothing exists, isn't it?

காதல் என்றால் கடையில் வாங்கும்

If it is love, it is not a commodity
That can be bought in a shop, isn't it?
Prior entitlement is needed, isn't it?
Prior entitlement is needed, isn't it?
தூது சொல்வார் எனக்காருமில்லை
சொல்வதில் முன் பின் பழக்கம் இல்லை
நேரடியாகவே தேடி வந்தேன்
நேரிழையே நீ அருள் புரிவாய்
There is no messenger to speak on my behalf,
I have no prior experience in expressing love,
I came seeking you directly,
Oh jeweled maiden, shower your grace on me.
வாங்கிய பூசைகள் போதாதா
மங்கையின் பின்னால் வரலாமா
ஆயிரம் வேஷங்கள் போட்டாலும்
என் ஆசையும் அன்பும் கிடைக்காது
Are the scoldings you received not enough?
Is it right to follow a maiden like this?
Even if you put on a thousand disguises,
You will not win my affection and love.
ஆ ஹாஹஹாஹா ஹாஹாஹா
ஹா ஹா ஹா...

If you ask me to dance, I shall dance,
If you ask me to sing, I shall sing,
Oh maiden, in your love,
I have become like a madman.
ஆடச் சொன்னாலும் ஆடுகிறேன்
பாடச் சொன்னாலும் பாடுகிறேன்
பாவையே உந்தன் காதலிலே
பைத்தியம் போல் நான் ஆகிவிட்டேன்
Love madness is troublesome,
Hands and legs won't stay still.
Come, my madman,
I shall treat/cure your heart.

காதல் பைத்தியம் பொல்லாது
கையும் காலும் நில்லாது

காதலைப் படைத்தவன் பேர் வாழ்க
May the beach grove flourish every day!
அதை கண்களில் சேர்த்தவன் சீர் வாழ்க
If it is love, a man and a woman,
Both of them are needed, isn't it?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful and romantic duet from 'Bhagyalakshmi' explores the nature of mutual love and affection. The male protagonist approaches his beloved directly without any intermediary, expressing how love makes him do anything she desires, even driving him lovingly mad. The female protagonist playfully teases him at first, reminding him that love cannot be bought or forced, but eventually reciprocates his passion by offering to cure his love-madness with her affection.
