கண்ணை காட்டி
ஆளை தூக்கும் ஆசை காதலி
உன்னைத்தானே
சுவாசம் தேடும் என் அழகி
உள்ளங்கையில் என்னை பூட்டும்
மாய பூங்கொடி
உன்னை தாண்டி
உலகில் ஏதும் இல்லையடி
Showing her eyes
My beloved lover who captures my soul
Only you
My breath searches for, my beauty
Locking me within her palm
Magical flowering vine
Beyond you
There is nothing in this world
உன்னை போலே அன்பில்தான்
என்னை ஆளும் பெண்கள்தான்
மண்ணில் இல்லை என்று
நானும் சொல்வேனே
With love like yours
Women who rule over me
Are not on this earth
I too shall say...
கண்ணே எந்தன் கண்கள் நீ
பெண்ணே எந்தன் பார்வை நீ
முத்தம் ஒன்றில் என்னை வென்ற
பூவும் நீ....
My darling, you are my eyes
Oh woman, you are my vision
Conquered me with a single kiss
You are also the flower...
தொலைஞ்சேன்டி உன் கண்ணால
கெடச்சேன்டி உன் சொல்லால
உயிரே என்னை நானே
மறந்தேன் உன்னால
I got lost because of your eyes
I found myself through your words
Oh my life, I myself
Forgot who I was because of you
தொலைஞ்சேன்டி உன் கண்ணால
கெடச்சேன்டி உன் சொல்லால
உயிரே என்னை நானே
மறந்தேன் உன்னால
I got lost because of your eyes
I found myself through your words
Oh my life, I myself
Forgot who I was because of you
பூமி மேலேதான்
வானம் கீழேதான்
காதல் வந்தாலே
வாழ்வே போதைதான்
Earth is above us
Sky is below us
When love arrives
Life itself becomes an intoxication
நீயும் நானும் சேர்ந்திட
நேரம் நீளுமே
நீலம் பூத்த வானமும்
வேர்வை சிந்துமே
When you and I unite
Time stretches endlessly
The blue blossomed sky
Will shed sweat
கைகள் நாலும் மௌனமாய்
கொஞ்ச வேண்டுமே
தீர தீர எல்லைகள்
மிஞ்ச வேண்டுமே
All four hands silently
Must cuddle and caress
Endless boundaries
Must be transcended
கண்ணே எந்தன் கண்கள் நீ
பெண்ணே எந்தன் பார்வை நீ
முத்தம் ஒன்றில் என்னை வென்ற
பூவும் நீ......
My darling, you are my eyes
Oh woman, you are my vision
Conquered me with a single kiss
You are also the flower...
தொலைஞ்சேன்டி உன் கண்ணால
கெடச்சேன்டி உன் சொல்லால
உயிரே என்னை நானே
மறந்தேன் உன்னால
I got lost because of your eyes
I found myself through your words
Oh my life, I myself
Forgot who I was because of you
தொலைஞ்சேன்டி உன் கண்ணால
கெடச்சேன்டி உன் சொல்லால
உயிரே என்னை நானே
மறந்தேன் உன்னால
I got lost because of your eyes
I found myself through your words
Oh my life, I myself
Forgot who I was because of you
Kannai kaatti

Aalai thookkum aasai kaadhali
My beloved lover who captures my soul
Unnai thaanae
Only you
Swasam thedum en azhagi
My breath searches for, my beauty

Magical flowering vine
Unnai thaandi
Beyond you
Ulagil yedhum illaiyadi
There is nothing in this world
Unnai polae anbil thaan
With love like yours
Ennai aalum pengal thaan
Women who rule over me
Mannil illai endru
Are not on this earth
Naanum solvenae……
I too shall say...
Kannae endhan kangal nee
My darling, you are my eyes
Pennae endhan paarvai nee
Oh woman, you are my vision
Mutham ondril ennai vendra
Conquered me with a single kiss
Poovum nee…………
You are also the flower...

Neram neelumae
Time stretches endlessly
Neelam pootha vaanamum
The blue blossomed sky
Vervai sindhumae
Will shed sweat
Kaigal naalum mounamaai
All four hands silently
Konja vendumae
Must cuddle and caress
Theera theera ellaigal
Endless boundaries
Minja vendumae
Must be transcended
Kannae endhan kangal nee
My darling, you are my eyes
Pennae endhan paarvai nee
Oh woman, you are my vision
Mutham ondril ennai vendra
Conquered me with a single kiss
Poovum nee…………
You are also the flower...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Kannai Kaatti' captures the euphoric intoxication and depth of emotion experienced by a lover. He expresses how his beloved's eyes, endearing words, and gentle love completely captivate his soul, turning his entire world upside down. Her love feels so sublime that time stands still, earthly boundaries fade away, and she becomes his vision and life force.

Exaggerates the disorientation of love where the earth feels above and the sky below.
Assonance / Rhyme (Monai and Edhugai)
