Come to me, my bride, my darling
I am the garment wrapped around you
Do not speak with your lips, let your eyes speak
You must not sleep, listen to my song
Looking at you, my desire never ends
Come to me, my bride, my darling
I am the garment wrapped around you
Do not speak with your lips, let your eyes speak
You must not sleep, listen to my song
Looking at you, my desire never ends
Who said you are just a woman? You are an angel
Others must not look at you
Who called them eyes? They are shining stars
Even a graceful deer cannot match you
Shy and pleading,
Sweet and tender like a swan,
It captivates me through the night,
This single glance of yours
Do not speak with your lips,
Let your eyes speak
You must not sleep, listen to my song
Looking at you, my desire never ends
Don't run away, stop right there, my sweetheart
Even with a slight movement, my body cannot bear the thrill
Sing a lullaby to my baby right now
Without music, it will not sleep
Slowly and gently, five months will pass
Leaping with joy, a child will come and play
Come to me, my bride, my darling
I am the garment wrapped around you
Do not speak with your lips, let your eyes speak
You must not sleep, listen to my song
Looking at you, my desire never ends

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Kalyaan Pennae Vaadi Kannae is a lighthearted romantic track from the 1990 Tamil movie Pathimoonam Number Veedu. The protagonist playfully teases his newly wed bride, expressing his deep passion and fascination with her beauty. He asks her to communicate through her eyes rather than words and expresses how looking at her never satiates his desire. As the song progresses, he elevates her beauty to divine status, comparing her eyes to stars and her grace to a deer or swan. The lyrics playfully transition into domestic dreams, imagining their future life together, starting a family, and raising children filled with happiness.
