காதல் போதும்
காதல் போதும்
எப்போது அள்ளி அணைப்பாய்
காதல் போதும்
காதல் போதும்
எப்போது முத்தமிடுவாய்
Love is enough,
Love is enough,
When will you gather me in an embrace?
Love is enough,
Love is enough,
When will you kiss me?
கண் மூடும்
கனவிலும் நுழைகின்றாய்
கை கூட எந்நாளும்
மறக்கின்றாய்
எனக்குள் விழுவாய் மழை துளியாய்
எனை நான் தருவேன் புது மலராய்
When eyes close,
You enter even my dreams.
Even an umbrella, every day,
You forget.
Fall inside me like a raindrop,
I shall give myself to you like a fresh flower.
காதல் போதும்
காதல் போதும்
எப்போது அள்ளி அணைப்பாய்
Love is enough,
Love is enough,
When will you gather me in an embrace?
இங்கே ஆண்களில்
நீதான் அழகு
உலகம் முழுதும் உரைத்தேன்
ரோஜா பூக்கள் உன்னிறம் தோற்கும்
இருளில்கூட ரசிப்பேன்
Here among men,
You alone are handsome.
I froze across the whole world.
Red roses will lose to your skin color,
I will admire you even in the dark.
ஐஸ்வர்யா உன்னிடத்தில்
ஆட்டோகிராப் வாங்குவாள்
சல்மான்கான் என்னிடத்தில்
ஒரு கம்ப்ளைன்ட் பண்ணுவான்
Aishwarya Rai herself,
Will get an autograph from you.
Salman Khan, to me,
Will file a complaint.
திறந்த மார்பில்
என் முகம் புதைப்பேன்
உன் இதய துடிப்பில்
என் பெயர் கேட்ப்பேன்
தள்ளி தள்ளி போகாதேடா
உன்னை வழங்கு
On your open chest,
I will bury my face.
In your heartbeat,
I will hear my name.
Do not move farther away, my dear,
Surrender yourself to me.
காதல் போதும்
காதல் போதும்
எப்போது அள்ளி அணைப்பாய்
Love is enough,
Love is enough,
When will you gather me in an embrace?
......................
...
உன் இதயம் நழுவி
என் வசம் விழுந்தால்
புதிதாய் நானும் பிறப்பேன்
உன் விழிகள் அசைத்து
சிக்னல் தந்தாள்
உலகை நானும் ரசிப்பேன்
If your heart slips away,
And falls under my control,
I will be born anew.
If you bat your eyes,
And give me a signal,
I will enjoy the whole world.
அழகான உன்னை கண்டால்
அஜித்யும் அஞ்சலாம்
ஸ்டைலாக நீ நடந்தால்
விஜயை மிஞ்சலாம்
Seeing how handsome you are,
Even Ajith might feel intimidated.
If you walk with style,
You could outshine Vijay.
நிலவுகூட
உன்னிடம் வெளிச்சம் கேட்க்கும்
சூரியன்கூட
உன்னிடம் வெப்பம் கேட்க்கும்
தள்ளி தள்ளி போகாதேடா
உன்னை வழங்கு
Even the moon,
Will ask you for light.
Even the sun,
Will ask you for warmth.
Do not move farther away, my dear,
Surrender yourself to me.
காதல் போதும்
காதல் போதும்
எப்போது அள்ளி அணைப்பாய்
காதல் போதும்
காதல் போதும்
எப்போது முத்தமிடுவாய்

When will you gather modularly in an embrace?
Love is enough,
Love is enough,

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song is a passionate expression of a woman's intense romantic feelings towards her lover. She expresses how deeply infatuated she is with his charm, style, and presence, noting how he invades her thoughts and dreams constantly. Through hyperbolic comparisons involving popular actors like Aishwarya Rai, Salman Khan, Ajith, and Vijay, as well as celestial bodies like the sun and moon, she playfully elevates his attractiveness and allure. The underlying emotion is a yearning for physical closeness, love, and emotional union.
