When fire spreads through the forest,
why does the sound of a flute drift in the wind?
When fire spreads through the forest,
why does the sound of a flute drift in the wind?
Oh heart... oh heart, my heart,
oh heart...
Oh heart... oh heart, my heart,
oh heart...
In an unexpected direction,
is it right to turn? Is it right, is it right?
Oh heart... oh heart, my heart,
oh heart...
Oh heart... oh heart, my heart,
oh heart...
Without asking my permission,
is it right to fall for him?
Like a feather hesitating
to slowly soar into the sky, see what I have become!
Male: Is she the address
that my heart has been searching for?
When fire spreads through the forest,
why does the sound of a flute drift in the wind?
In this heart searching for its roots,
what is this change taking place?
When fire spreads through the forest,
why does the sound of a flute drift in the wind?
Oh heart... oh heart, my heart,
oh heart...
Female: Oh heart... oh heart, my heart,
oh heart...
Male: In an unexpected direction,
is it right to turn?
Female: Without asking my permission,
is it right to fall for him?
Oh heart... oh heart, my heart,
oh heart...
Oh heart... oh heart, my heart,
oh heart...
The moments that pass beside her,
why does my heart try to stretch them out?
In the pile of nervous rambling words,
why do I cherish the poetry that slips out?
In every direction her eyes turn,
I try to cast my shadow...
Hey, swallowed words
weighing upon the heart
reveal themselves every day
in my eyes and at my fingertips.
Without any sleep,
as my nights slip away, in her
thoughts I toss and turn.
What is happening to me? Is this intoxication?
Like a fresh wick hesitating
to catch fire, see what I have become...
Is she the address
that my heart has been searching for?
When fire spreads through the forest,
why does the sound of a flute drift in the wind?
In this heart searching for its roots,
what is this change taking place?
When fire spreads through the forest,
why does the sound of a flute drift in the wind?
Oh heart... oh heart, my heart,
oh heart...
Female: Oh heart... oh heart, my heart,
oh heart...
Male: In an unexpected direction,
is it right to turn?
Female: Without asking my permission,
is it right to fall for him?
Oh heart... oh heart, my heart,
oh heart...
Oh heart... oh heart, my heart,
oh heart...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Manamae' (Kaattilae Theeyum) from the film Gouravam (2013) explores the confusing, overwhelming, yet sweet nature of falling in love unexpectedly. The lyrics draw contrast between inner chaos—likened to a forest fire—and the soothing, gentle melody of love, likened to a bamboo flute playing in the breeze. Both protagonists question their heart's sudden shift in direction as their rational control slips away.
