If you ask him for water to wash your feet,
he says he will give you the whole ocean.
If you ask this guy,
he says he will take you moonwalking on the moon.
That girl says, just like a donor,
she will give away her heart.
This girl says, "If you are not there,
I will slit my wrist and die."
Man, they just spin wild stories!
Ah, my ears hurt from hearing it!
Just bringing up love,
look, your dad is scolding you!
You didn't even
switch off the water pump,
look, your mom is shouting!
Even the washed clothes,
you haven't folded them.
Lost in your over-the-top fantasies,
you roam around spinning bundle after bundle of lies!
In this wholesome life,
if you wander around aimlessly without a goal,
and think having a lover is your entire life,
Ear plus nonsense...
Kadhol, Kadhol, Kadhol!
Kadhol, Kadhol, Kadhol!
They told you a thousand times,
they told you clearly so it would sink in.
No matter how much they try to set him straight,
this crazy fellow just keeps waiting around!
Just because you get free attention,
do not blindly fall for it and believe it!
After all, he is just a slacker,
an unemployed, good-for-nothing guy!
In this wholesome life,
if you wander around aimlessly without a goal,
and think having a lover is your entire life,
Ear plus nonsense...
Kadhol, Kadhol, Kadhol!
Kadhol, Kadhol, Kadhol!
Faith in God is devotion,
faith in a human is love.
Do you believe it?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

"Kaadhol" by Urban Thozha is a satirical commentary on modern romantic delusions, poking fun at the grand exaggerations lovers make while neglecting basic everyday responsibilities. The song contrasts theatrical romantic promises—such as gifting the ocean or taking someone for a moonwalk—with mundane household realities, like forgetting to turn off the water pump or folding washed clothes.

“Kaadhu koottal ol”

Combines 'Kaadhu' (ear) and 'ol' (slang for lies/nonsense) to coin the titular word 'Kaadhol' (nonsense whispered in the ear).
