Lyrics & meaning
| ♫ Tanglish lyrics | ↻ English translation |
|---|---|
| Female | |
| Malarukul malarukul marainthirukkum | Hidden deep inside a flower, |
| Vaasanai kaadhal olinthirukkum | Just like its fragrance, love remains concealed. |
| Unakullum enakullum anal veesum | A fiery warmth blows within you and me, |
| Swasangal kaatrinil pesi kollum | As our breaths converse with each other in the air. |
| Idhu dhaan kaadhal idhu dhaan kaadhal | This indeed is love, this indeed is love, |
| Idhudhaan kaadhal | This is love. |
| Female | |
| Toonga manamillai ninaivinil nee | My heart refuses to sleep as you fill my thoughts, |
| Toonginaal vizhikka manamillai kanavilum nee | And if I do sleep, I wish not to wake, for you are in my dreams too. |
மலருக்குள் மலருக்குள் மறைந்திருக்கும்
வாசனை காதல் ஒளிந்திருக்கும்
உனக்குள்ளும் எனக்குள்ளும் அனல் வீசும்
சுவாசங்கள் காற்றினில் பேசி கொள்ளும்
இதுதான் காதல் இதுதான் காதல்
இதுதான் காதல்
Hidden deep inside a flower,
Just like its fragrance, love remains concealed.
A fiery warmth blows within you and me,
As our breaths converse with each other in the air.
This indeed is love, this indeed is love,
This is love.
தூங்க மனமில்லை நினைவினில் நீ
தூங்கினால் விழிக்க மனமில்லை கனவிலும் நீ
My heart refuses to sleep as you fill my thoughts,
And if I do sleep, I wish not to wake, for you are in my dreams too.
Malarukul malarukul marainthirukkum
Hidden deep inside a flower,
Vaasanai kaadhal olinthirukkum
Just like its fragrance, love remains concealed.
Unakullum enakullum anal veesum
A fiery warmth blows within you and me,
Swasangal kaatrinil pesi kollum
As our breaths converse with each other in the air.
Idhu dhaan kaadhal idhu dhaan kaadhal
This indeed is love, this indeed is love,
Idhudhaan kaadhal
This is love.
Toonga manamillai ninaivinil nee
My heart refuses to sleep as you fill my thoughts,
Toonginaal vizhikka manamillai kanavilum nee
And if I do sleep, I wish not to wake, for you are in my dreams too.
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song portrays the subtle, profound nature of love that resides within two souls, comparing love's hidden presence to the sweet fragrance trapped inside a blossom. It highlights a deep spiritual and physical connection where even the lovers' breaths interact silently in the breeze, generating a fiery warmth of romance inside both of them. The lyrics beautifully capture the sweet obsession of being in love, where thoughts of the beloved keep one awake at night, and dreaming of them makes awakening entirely unwanted.
