கூடவா கூடவா
தூரத்தில் நீ இருந்தால் பாரமாய்
இதயமே
இதயத்தில் நீ இருந்தால் இறகினால் இதயமே
காதல் சொல்ல நாள் பார்க்க கண் மறைவில்
சிரிக்காதே
காதல் வந்ததும் நடிக்காதே
கூடவா கூடவா
Come along, come along
If you are far away, my heart feels heavy
If you are in my heart, my heart feels light like a feather
Do not smile from hiding while waiting for an auspicious day to express love
Do not pretend once love arrives
Come along, come along
காணவில்லையே வானவில் நேற்று வானிலே
ஓ
சாலை மாறியே சாலையில் இன்று வந்ததே
ஓ
சவகாசமாய் பேசுவேன் ஆசை கூடுதே
நாலு கண்களும் பேசியே போதவில்லையே
It wasn't a dream, yesterday's rainbow in the sky
Has changed its path and arrived on the street today
I will speak at leisure as my desire grows
Four eyes speaking together was not enough
ஓ நம் சிறகை நாம் விரிக்க ஓ
ஏன் தயக்கம் வா ரசிக்க
நீருக்குள்ள கை தட்டலாம் ஹோ
ஓசை இன்று காதில் போகுமா
யாருக்குள்ள யார் என்று தான்
காலம் கூறும் சொல்
Ooo, let us spread our wings
Why the hesitation? Come, let's relish this
We can clap hands under water
Will that sound reach the ears today?
Who is within whom?
Will time tell? Say
கூட வா... என் வீடே உன் வீடு
கூடுமோ... என் வாழ்வே உன்னோடு
கூட வா... என் வீடே உன் வீடு
கூடுமோ... என் வாழ்வே உன்னோடு
Come along... my house is your home
Will it be possible... for my life to be with yours?
Come along... my house is your home
Will it be possible... for my life to be with yours?
வீட்டின் அரை உன் வாசனை கேட்க்குதே
கடிகாரம் கூட ஓட மறுக்கிறதே
The room in the house asks for your scent
Even the clock refuses to run
காத்திருப்பதே போதையே
காதலே நீ வா
நேற்று என்பதும் நாளையே
காதலே நீ தா
தோளில் சாயவே ஆசையே
தோற்று போகலாமே
தேனில் ஊறிய நாட்களை
நாமும் வாழலாமே
Waiting itself is an intoxication
Oh love, come to me
Yesterday feels like tomorrow as well
Oh love, grant this to me
It is my desire to lean on your shoulder
We can surrender and lose ourselves
The days soaked in honey
We too can live them
ஓ நம் சிறகை நாம் விரிக்க ஓ
ஏன் தயக்கம் வா ரசிக்க
Ooo, let us spread our wings
Why the hesitation? Come, let's relish this
கூட வா... என் வீடே உன் வீடு
கூடுமோ... என் வாழ்வே உன்னோடு
கூட வா... என் வீடே உன் வீடு
கூடுமோ... என் வாழ்வே உன்னோடு
Come along... my house is your home
Will it be possible... for my life to be with yours?
Come along... my house is your home
Will it be possible... for my life to be with yours?
கொஞ்சம் கெஞ்சும் புன்னகை
போதுமே
என்னை உன்னில் கண்டால் அது வரமே
A little pleading smile is enough
To see myself in you is a blessing
கூட வா... கூட வா
கூட வா... கூட வா
Come along... come along
Come along... come along
விரலோடு விரல் கோர்க்க
நகமெல்லாம் பேர் பூக்க
நிழலோடு நிழல் கோர்க்க
நகரெல்லாம் நான் பார்க்க
எந்தன் கனா உந்தன் கண்ணில்
வருமோ வருமோ
நம்மை தேடி நம் இடமே
தருமோ தருமோ
தேடாதே தேடாதே
நம்மை இங்கு வெளிய
ஓயாதே ஓயாதே இந்த காதல் அலையே
Intertwining finger with finger
Making all fingernails bloom with beauty
Intertwining shadow with shadow
For me to behold the entire city
In your eyes that I gaze into
Will it come, will it come?
Searching for us, our own place
Will it give, will it give?
Do not search, do not search
For us outside here
Unceasing, unceasing is this wave of love
கூட வா... என் வீடே உன் வீடு
கூடுமோ... என் வாழ்வே உன்னோடு
கூட வா... என் வீடே உன் வீடு
கூடுமோ... என் வாழ்வே உன்னோடு
Come along... my house is your home
Will it be possible... for my life to be with yours?
Come along... my house is your home
Will it be possible... for my life to be with yours?
கொஞ்சம் கெஞ்சும் புன்னகை போதுமே
என்னை உன்னில் காதல் அது வரமே
A little pleading smile is enough
To see myself in you is a blessing
கூட வா... கூட வா
கூட வா... கூட வா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Koodava Koodavaa is a tender and expressive romantic song composed and sung by Ghibran with lyrics written by Kathir Mozhi. The protagonist expresses a passionate yearning for companionship, describing how physical distance makes the heart feel heavy, whereas emotional closeness makes it feel light as a feather. The lyrics invite the lover to shed hesitation and build a shared home and life together. Rich in poetic imagery, the song captures the magical quality of love where time seems to stand still, mundane streets feel like rainbows, and simple moments become deeply intoxicating. It celebrates mutual belonging, romantic surrendering, and the serene joy found in seeing oneself reflected in the eyes of a loved one.
