Just touching you
with my hand is enough,
a flood of love surges in my heart.
Just touching you
with my hand is enough,
a flood of love surges in my heart.
Hearing your call,
I came running like a melody.
Hearing your call,
I came running like a melody.
If I trust you and come here,
is it only to find trouble? Tell me, hey!
Just touching you
with my hand is enough,
a flood of love surges in my heart.
Just touching you
with my hand is enough,
a flood of love surges in my heart.
Hearing your call,
I came running like a melody.
Hearing your call,
I came running like a melody.
If I trust you and come here,
is it only to find trouble? Tell me!
Hey, just touching you
with my hand is enough,
a flood of love surges in my heart.
Just touching you
with my hand is enough,
a flood of love surges in my heart.
My life, for your sake
I will do anything.
Female: Hahaan
Male: Even if you ask for my life,
I will give that too.
In a lonely heart,
when longing begins to stir,
they will say all kinds of things—
the minds of a hundred men!
O lips, without sharing
sweetness with you,
my youth cannot rest,
my heart cannot bear it.
If the words you speak
are truly honest,
then there is one thing I say
that you must listen to.
Following behind a girl—
forget that business and go on your way!
Aha, just touching you
with my hand is enough,
a flood of love surges in my heart.
Female: Huh
Male: Just touching you
with my hand is enough,
a flood of love surges in my heart.
Do not block my way,
do not feast your eyes on this fruit!
With a thief's heart,
do not look at me anymore, ah!
When looking at an orchard
at this lovely hour,
without plucking any fruit,
how can one just walk away this morning?
Do not cross your line,
or I will ruin your livelihood!
Do not make a choice
that leaves your back beaten sore!
When beautiful women
scold, it is a joy;
and when they strike,
it brings millions of pleasures!
Girl, why don't you
scold me a little more?
Female: Yeeeeee
Just touching you
with my hand is enough,
a flood of love surges in my heart.
Just touching you
with my hand is enough,
a flood of love surges in my heart.
Hearing your call,
I came running like a melody.
Hearing your call,
I came running like a melody.
If I trust you and come here,
is it only to find trouble? Tell me!
Hey hey, just touching you
with my hand is enough,
a flood of love surges in my heart.
Female: Aha ha
Male: Just touching you
with my hand is enough,
a flood of love surges in my heart.

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
Kaiyaalae Unnai Thottaal Podhum is a playful, romantic duet from the 1986 film Uyire Unakkaga. The song captures a lively conversation between two lovers where the male protagonist proclaims his unyielding devotion, claiming that mere physical proximity fills his heart with an overwhelming flood of love. He lightheartedly welcomes her rebukes and resistance as purely pleasurable encounters.
