காதல் வெண்ணிலா கண்ணில் வந்தது
ஆசை பரிபாஷை பரிமாறிக் கொண்டது
காதல் வெண்ணிலா கண்ணில் வந்தது
ஆசை பரிபாஷை பரிமாறிக் கொண்டது
The moonlight of love arrived in the eyes
Exchanging the secret language of desire
The moonlight of love arrived in the eyes
Exchanging the secret language of desire
பூமியெங்கும் பூ வசந்தம்
நீ சிரித்தால் தேன் சுரக்கும்
எங்கும் இளமை விருந்தாய் இருந்தாய்
காவிரி சோலை நீ தொடும் வேளை
தேனும் பாலும் தூறல் போடும்
Springtime flowers blooming all over the earth
Honey flows whenever you smile
Everywhere, you existed as a feast of youth
When you touch the groves of the Kaveri river
காதல் வெண்ணிலா கண்ணில் வந்தது
ஆசை பரிபாஷை பரிமாறிக் கொண்டது
The moonlight of love arrived in the eyes
Exchanging the secret language of desire
நான் படிக்கும் பாசுரங்கள்
உன்னடிக்கு பூச்சரங்கள்
நந்தவனத்தின் மணத்தால் நினைத்தாள்
பூங்கொடியோடு நீ விளையாடு
புள்ளி எல்லாம் கோலம் ஆகும்
The devotional hymns that I recite
Are flower garlands for your feet
If thought of with the fragrance of a flower garden
You play along with the flowering creeper
Every dot transforms into a beautiful pattern
காதல் வெண்ணிலா கண்ணில் வந்தது
ஆசை பரிபாஷை பரிமாறிக் கொண்டது
காதல் வெண்ணிலா கண்ணில் வந்தது
ஆசை பரிபாஷை பரிமாறிக் கொண்டது
The moonlight of love arrived in the eyes
Exchanging the secret language of desire
The moonlight of love arrived in the eyes
Exchanging the secret language of desire
Kadhal vennilaa kannil vanthathu
The moonlight of love arrived in the eyes
Aasai paripaashai parimaari kondathu
Exchanging the secret language of desire
Kadhal vennilaa kannil vanthathu
The moonlight of love arrived in the eyes
Aasai paripaashai parimaari kondathu
Exchanging the secret language of desire
Bhoomiyengum poo vasantham
Springtime flowers blooming all over the earth
Nee siriththaal thaen surakkum
Honey flows whenever you smile
Engum ilamai virunthaai irunthaai
Everywhere, you existed as a feast of youth
Kaaviri cholai nee thodum podum
When you touch the groves of the Kaveri river
Kadhal vennilaa kannil vanthathu
The moonlight of love arrived in the eyes
Aasai paripaashai parimaari kondathu
Exchanging the secret language of desire
Naan padikkum paasurangal
The devotional hymns that I recite
Unnadikkum poocharangal
Are flower garlands for your feet
Nandhavanaththin manaththaal ninaiththaal
If thought of with the fragrance of a flower garden
Poongodiyodu nee vilaiyaadu
You play along with the flowering creeper
Pulli ellaam kolam aagum

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Kadhal Vennilaa from Lakshmi Vandhachu (1986) is a romantic melody expressing the gentle awakening of love and deep affection. The heroine describes how love shines like moonlight in her eyes and how unspoken feelings are exchanged through a tender, private language. Nature imagery—spring flowers, honey, and the fertile Kaveri groves—is woven together to illustrate the transformative joy brought by her beloved's presence.
