போதும் உந்தன் நாயனம்
எந்தன் ஊஞ்சலாகும்
நீங்கி போகும் துயரங்கள் எல்லாமே
போதும் இந்த பிறவி பயணம்
தீர்ந்து போகும்
நீயும் கொஞ்சம் புன்முறுவல் தந்தாலே
Your eyes are enough for me,
They become a swing for my heart.
All my sorrows will fade away.
This life's journey is enough,
It will come to a peaceful end,
If you offer just a gentle smile.
நினைவோடு பேச மனம் பழகியதே
அனலோடு நீங்கி உயிர் நனைகிறதே
ஏகாந்தம் என்னை தினம் சுடுகிறதே
ஹோ ஓ ஓ
ஓர் வார்த்தை பேசிவிடு அலைகிறதே
My mind has gotten used to talking to memories.
Leaving the heat behind, my soul gets drenched.
Loneliness burns me every single day.
Hoo oo oo
It wanders about, yearning for you to speak just one word.
கவி சொல்ல சொன்னால்
நொடி ஒன்றில் சொல்வேன்
என் காதல் சொல்ல காலம் போதாதே
கடல் கொண்டு போனால்
கரை நானும் சேர்வேன்
உன் காதல் வெள்ளம் நீந்த தீராதடி
If asked to compose a poem,
I will recite it in a single second.
To express my love, a lifetime will not be enough.
If carried away by the sea,
I will still find a way to reach the shore.
Swimming across the flood of your love is endless, my dear.
இடைவெளி தான் நீளாமல் தீராதா
இரு மனங்கள் சேராமல் போகாதா
Will this distance not shorten without stretching forever?
Will two hearts not unite eventually?
கவி சொல்ல சொன்னால்
நொடி ஒன்றில் சொல்வேன்
என் காதல் சொல்ல காலம் போதாதே
கடல் கொண்டு போனால்
கரை நானும் சேர்வேன்
உன் காதல் வெள்ளம் நீந்த தீராதடி
If asked to compose a poem,
I will recite it in a single second.
To express my love, a lifetime will not be enough.
If carried away by the sea,
I will still find a way to reach the shore.
Swimming across the flood of your love is endless, my dear.
மழை தீண்டி போனால்
நிலம் பேசும் பெண்ணே
எதை செய்வதோ உன்னுடன் பேச
குழல் தாண்டி போனால்
இசை ஆகும் காற்றே
எனை தாண்டி நீ போக நான் ஏங்கினேன்
When touched by the rain,
The land begins to speak, oh girl!
What must I do to be able to talk to you?
When it passes through a flute,
The wind turns into beautiful music.
I longed in despair as you passed right by me.
Podhum undhan nayanam
Your eyes are enough for me,
Endhan oonjalaagum
They become a swing for my heart.
Neengi pogum thuyarangal ellamae
All my sorrows will fade away.
Podhum indha piravi payanam

If you offer just a gentle smile.
Ninaivodu pesa manam pazhagiyadhae

Analodu neengi uyir nanaigiradhae
Leaving the heat behind, my soul gets drenched.
Yegaandham ennai dhinam sudugiradhae

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This soulful romantic ballad expresses the protagonist's profound devotion and longing for his beloved. He reflects on how even a small gesture from her, such as a gentle smile or a single word, possesses the power to erase all his life's grief and give meaning to his existence. Alone with his memories, he finds solitude painful yet poetically inspiring, describing his immense love as an ocean too deep and vast to fully articulate in words. Using poetic comparisons from nature, such as parched earth speaking when touched by rain and ordinary wind transforming into music when passing through a flute, he highlights the transformative effect she has on his life. Ultimately, he pleads for the bridging of distance between their hearts.
