| Male | |
| Yei! kanjadai kal veesi neeyae | Hey! You threw a stone of winking eyes, |
| En lannadi kann koithaaiyae! | You harvested my eyes in front of me! |
| Yei! kankoosum minsaaram neeyae | Hey! You are a blinding spark of electricity, |
| En nenjoram poothaaiyae! | You bloomed in the corner of my heart! |
| Female | |
| En venmegam kai neettum podhu | When my white cloud reaches out its hand, |
| Mazhai moongilgal yosikaathu | The rain-drenched bamboos do not hesitate, |
| En venmeengal thoondil mel yeri | My white stars climbed onto the fishing hook, |
| Naan unnodu serthenae! | And I united with you! |
| Male | |
| Pudhu thee theevin manalil | On the sands of a newly ignited island, |
| Idhu karkaala mazhai thaanae! | This is indeed monsoon rain! |
| Nithamum saaral mazhaiyil | Every day in the gentle drizzle, |
| Uyir neerodu neeradumae! | The soul bathes along with the rain! |
| Female | |
| Vidhaiyin kaadhal mudichil | In the love knot of a seed, |
| Elai kaamangal urangadho! | Won't tender desires lie asleep? |
| Avilum kaalam varattum | Let the moment of unbinding arrive, |
| Mudhal muththangal poo pookumae! | And first kisses shall bloom like flowers! |

Hey! You threw a stone of winking eyes,
You harvested my eyes in front of me!
Hey! You are a blinding spark of electricity,
You bloomed in the corner of my heart!
ஏய்! கண்ஜாடை கால் வீசி நீயே என்
கண்ணாடி கண் கொய்தாயே!
ஏய்! கண்கூசும் மின்சாரம் நீயே
என் நெஞ்சோரம் பூத்தாயே!
When my white cloud reaches out its hand,
The rain-drenched bamboos do not hesitate,
My white stars climbed onto the fishing hook,
And I united with you!
என் வெண்மேகம் கை நீட்டும் போது
மழை மூங்கில்கள் யோசிக்காது
என் வெண்மீன்கள் தூண்டில் மேல் ஏறி
நான் உன்னோடு சேர்ந்தேனே!
On the sands of a newly ignited island,
This is indeed monsoon rain!
Every day in the gentle drizzle,
The soul bathes along with the rain!
புது தீ தீவின் மணலில்
இது கார்கால மழை தானே!
நிதமும் சாரல் மழையில்
உயிர் நீரோடை நீராடுமே!
In the love knot of a seed,
Won't tender desires lie asleep?
Let the moment of unbinding arrive,
And first kisses shall bloom like flowers!
விதையின் காதல் முடிச்சில்
இலை காமங்கள் உறங்காதோ!
அவியும் காலம் வரட்டும்
முதல் முத்தங்கள் பூ பூக்குமே!
Hey! You threw a stone of winking eyes,
You harvested my eyes in front of me!
Hey! You are a blinding spark of electricity,
You bloomed in the corner of my heart!
ஏய் கண்ஜாடை கல் வீசி நீயே என்
கண்ணாடி கண் கொய்தாயே!
ஏய்! கண்கூசும் மின்சாரம் நீயே
என் நெஞ்சோரம் பூத்தாயே!
As if the path has transformed,
Shall I come along joined on this path?
Without noticing any distance,
Come, let us go!

........................
If your fingers interlock with mine,
Even the vast sky comes within reach!
Riding upon the back of a rainbow,
Come, let us go!
பாதை மாறியது போலே
பாதை சேர்ந்து வரவா!
தூரம் யாவும் அறியாமல்
போவோம் வா!
You are like a soothing, cool flame,
Should I lose myself and extinguish in you?
Female: Does the Veena speak on its own,
Asking someone to play its strings?
உந்தன் கைவிரல் கோர்த்தால்
வானம் கூட வசம் தான்
வானவில்லின் முதுகின் மேல்
போவோம் வா
I wandered around all alone, my girl!
You joined me like a grand procession.
Female: I unfolded like a sheet of paper, my heart!
And you recited a beautiful poem upon it.
நீயே குளிர்ந்திடும் தீயாய்
நானே அணைத்திடவா!
வீணை இசைத்திட சொல்லி
தானே உறைத்திடுமா!
Hey! You threw a stone of winking eyes,
You harvested my eyes in front of me!
Hey! You are a blinding spark of electricity,
You bloomed in the corner of my heart!
நான் தனியாய் தீர்த்தேன் பெண்ணே
ஊர்வலமாய் இணைந்தாய்
காகிதமாய் விரிந்தேன் நெஞ்சே
ஓர் கவியாய் மொழிந்தாய்
When my white cloud reaches out its hand,
The rain-drenched bamboos do not hesitate,
My white stars climbed onto the fishing hook,
And I united with you!
ஏய்! கண்ஜாடை கல் வீசி நீயே என்
கண்ணாடி கண் கொய்தாயே!
ஏய்! கண்கூசும் மின்சாரம் நீயே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song is an evocative romantic duet expressing the sudden, overwhelming sensation of falling in love. The lovers describe their emotional connection using vibrant nature motifs—rain, stars, fire, clouds, and seeds. The male protagonist speaks of how a glance from his partner felt like electricity sparking in his heart, drawing him into a shared journey across infinite distances. The female protagonist responds with poetic metaphors, comparing herself to a instrument waiting to be played and a blank paper filled with poetry by her partner's presence.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uvamaani / Urvagathal)
“Yei! kankoosum minsaaram neeyae”
The lover is metaphorically compared to 'kankoosum minsaaram' (blinding electricity) and 'kulirnthidum thee' (a cooling fire), expressing contradictory, intense passionate feelings.
Edhugai (Second-letter Rhyming)
“Yei! kanjadai kal veesi neeyae”
Tamil poetic rhyming where the second consonant matches across adjacent lines ('kanjadai' and 'lannadi' / 'nenjoram').
Imagery & Personification
“Vaanavillin mudhukin mel”
Natural phenomena like clouds reaching out hands ('venmegam kai neettum podhu') and riding the rainbow ('vaanavillin mudhukin mel') create rich visual poetic imagery.
