The seconds spent near her,
Why does my heart try to stretch them out?
இவளருகில் நடக்கும் நொடிகளை
இழுத்துவிட இதயம் முயல்வதேன்...
In the heap of gibberish spoken by mouth,
Why do I enjoy the poems that turn up?
வாய்பேசும் உளறலின் குவியலில்
வாய்க்கின்ற கவிதைகள் ரசிப்பதேன்....
In the directions her eyes turn,
I try to establish my shadow...
இவள் விழிகள் திரும்பும் திசைகளில்
எனது நிழல் நிறுவப் பார்க்கிறேன்....
Hey, in swallowed words,
My mind sinks deeper,
In my eyes and fingers,
It reveals itself every day.
ஹே விழுங்கிடும் மொழிகளில்
அழுந்திடும் மனம்
என் விழிகளில் விரல்களில்
வெளிப்படும் தினம்
Without sleeping,
As my nights melt away, in her
Memories I toss and turn,
What is happening to me, is this an intoxication?
தூங்காமலே
என் இரவுகள் கரைகையில் இவளது
நினைவினில் புரள்கிறேன்
என்னாகிறேன் இது போதையா...
Thinking of catching fire anew,
Did you see that I became a wick?
புதிதாய் தீயேற யோசிக்கும்
திரியாய் ஆனேனே பார்த்தாயா....
Is she the address
That my heart was searching for... yeah, yeah, yeah?
இவள்தான் என் நெஞ்சம்
தேடி வந்த முகவரியா....யா யா யா....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
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.
