Kaadhal pirakindra paruvam paruvam

This is the age when love is born,
This is the moment silence makes sense,
This is the minute our eyes meet,
This is the dance our feet follow,
My heart is lightly flying,
Something is happening to me at this age.
My anklet slips off so gently,
I do not know where it fell.
Like a mouse storing grain in its burrow, I gather your thoughts inside me.
Like a stone rippling a lily pond, your gaze struck me and left me spinning.
Even the little bird feels dizzy in love,
Every day it floats in dreams,
Now that love has arrived, it leaps with joy,
And strikes against the sky with its wings.
My heart is lightly flying,
Something is happening to me at this age.
My anklet slips off so gently,
I do not know where it fell.
Like a toddler taking tiny steps,
My heart was kept sheltered and safe.
Now I happily get lost in this festival crowd,
And no words can cross my throat.
My lips wanted to say so many things,
Yet the moment I see your look, my heart suddenly flutters.
Day and night, a giant wheel spins in my chest, girl.
Inside a locked house, a butterfly is flying anew, boy.
Even the little bird feels dizzy in love,
Every day it floats in dreams,
Now that love has arrived, it leaps with joy,
And strikes against the sky with its wings.
My heart is lightly flying,
Something is happening to me at this age.
The world is opening up like a flower,
Though it was lying barren until now.
Like a lone tree standing in the mud, I was stuck,
Only after seeing you did my life truly revive.
I will ask God to make you mine forever.
Wearing double braids, I used to skip and wander around,
Only after seeing you did I learn what shyness is.
Only for you, only for you was I born on this earth.
Like carrying a kavadi (a sacred ceremonial burden), my heart carries this love, boy.
You will come in my dreams, and so my eyes refuse to sleep, girl.
Even the little bird feels dizzy in love,
Every day it floats in dreams,
Now that love has arrived, it leaps with joy,
And strikes against the sky with its wings.
