காடு திறந்து
கிடக்கின்றது காற்று
மலர்களை புடைக்கின்றது
கண்கள் திறந்தே கிடக்கின்றது
காதல் உயிர்களை உடைக்கின்றது
அடடா நெஞ்சில் வரும் காதல்
வலி பூவில் ஒரு சூறாவளியோ
ஓ ஓஹோ
The forest lies wide open
The wind sifts through the blossoms
The eyes lie wide open
Love breaks souls into pieces
Ah... the pain of love arising in the heart
Is it a cyclone brewing inside a flower? Oh...
நெஞ்சை விட்டு
வந்த வார்த்தை ஒன்று
தொண்டைக்குள் சூழ்
கொண்டதோ
உன்னை விட்டு
உடல் மீளவில்லை என்
கால்கள் வேர் கொண்டதோ
பூமிக்கு வந்த பனி
துளி நான் சூரியனே என்னை
குடித்துவிடு
யுகம் யுகமாய்
நான் எரிந்து விட்டேன்
பனி துளியே என்னை
அணைத்து விடு
A word that departed from the heart
Has it been trapped within the throat?
Male: My body hasn't returned after leaving you
Have my feet grown roots where I stand?
Female: I am a dewdrop that fell upon the earth
Oh Sun, drink me up completely
Male: For ages upon ages, I have been burning
Oh dewdrop, extinguish my fire
உறவே உயிரே
உணர்வே நெஞ்சில் வரும்
காதல் வலி பூவில் ஒரு
சூறாவளியோ ஓஹோ
Oh beloved relationship... oh soul... oh deep feeling...
The pain of love arising in the heart
Is it a cyclone brewing inside a flower? Oh...
.........................
La la la lalalala..La la la lalalala…
Ooooooooo……
சிற்றின்பத்தின்
சின்ன வாசல் வழி
பேரின்பம் நாம்
அடைவோம்
கால் தடங்கள்
அற்ற பூமியிலே காற்றாக
நாம் நுழைவோம்
சித்திரை மாதத்தை
நான் நனைத்து
கோடையில் உனக்கொரு
குளிர் கொடுப்பேன் மார்கழி
மாதத்தை நான் எரித்து முன்பனி
காலத்தில் அனல் கொடுப்பேன்
Through the narrow doorway of sensual joy
We shall attain supreme divine bliss
Female: In a world devoid of any footprints
We shall enter freely like the breeze
Male: Drenching the hot summer month of Chithirai
Female: I will offer you soothing cool comfort in summer
Male: Igniting the freezing winter month of Margazhi
I will offer you warmth in the early morning frost
அடியே சகியே
சுகியே நெஞ்சில் வரும்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Kaadu Thiranthu Kidakindrathu' is a deeply poetic and romantic duet exploring the overwhelming intensity and paradoxical nature of love. The lovers describe love as both delicate and destructive—likening its pain to a raging cyclone trapped inside a fragile flower blossom. The lyrics contrast elements of nature like dewdrops and the sun, summer heat and winter cold, to illustrate how love transcends physical sensations to unite two souls. Throughout the track, the characters express how love elevates earthly pleasure ('sitrinbam') into divine beatitude ('perinbam'). They vow to complement and comfort each other against the extremes of nature and life, entering a realm free of past burdens, floating effortlessly like the wind.
