மனதுக்கு தெரியும் என்னை
என்ன
மறந்ததில்லை நான் உன்னை
ஓஹ்ஹோ
இதுவரை இலையுதிர்காலம்
இனிமேல் தளிர் விடும் கோலம்
My heart knows about me
Female: What?
Male: I have never forgotten you
Female: Oohho
Male: Until now, it was autumn
From now on, it is a blooming season
மனதுக்கு தெரியும் என்னை
நான் மறந்ததில்லை என்றும் உன்னை
My heart knows about me
I have never forgotten you
கை மேல் உண்டான காயம்
ஒரு பொய்யாய் உண்டான மாயம்
ஆஹ்ஆஹ்ஹஹா
நெஞ்சில் உண்டாகும் காயம்
அந்த மஞ்சம் வந்தாலே ஆறும்
A physical wound on the hand
Is an illusion created like a lie
Female: Aahaahhahaa
A wound that arises in the heart
Will heal once that nuptial bed arrives
கண்ணன் பின்னோடு ராதை
இந்த ராமன் பின்னோடு சீதை....
Rathi following Krishna
Female: Sita following this Rama
மனதுக்கு தெரியும் என்னை
நான் மறந்ததில்லை என்றும் உன்னை
My heart knows about me
I have never forgotten you
அங்கே செவ்வானம் சிரிக்கும்
அது இங்கே என் கன்னம் பலிக்கும்
கண்ணே என் கிண்ணம் பதிந்தால்
இன்னும் மென்மேலும் சிவக்கும்
கேட்கின்ற நேரத்தில் ஒன்று
நான் கேட்க்காமல் ஆயிரம் உண்டு
There, the red sky smiles
It mocks my cheek here
Male: My dear, if my cup touches it
It will turn even redder
Female: One thing when asked
Male: There are a thousand things even without asking
மனதுக்கு தெரியும் என்னை
நான் மறந்ததில்லை என்றும் உன்னை
My heart knows about me
I have never forgotten you
தொடரட்டும் இதுபோல் உறவு
நீ தொட்டதும் ஆனந்த நினைவு
ஆஹ்ஆஹ்ஹஹா
மலரட்டும் கண்களில் அழகு
மனம் மயங்கட்டும் நீ அள்ளி தழுவு
வளரட்டும் இது போல் இனிமை
இனி வருவதுண்டோ சொல் தனிமை....
Let a relationship like this continue
Female: The moment you touch me, it brings blissful memories
Male: Aahaahhaha
Let beauty bloom in the eyes
Female: Let the mind be entranced, embrace me tightly
Male: Let sweetness like this grow
Female: Will loneliness ever come again, tell me
மனதுக்கு தெரியும் என்னை
ஆஹ்ஹா
மறந்ததில்லை நான் உன்னை
ஓஹ்ஹோ
இதுவரை இலையுதிர்காலம்
இனிமேல் தளிர் விடும் கோலம்
My heart knows about me
Male: Aahhaa
Female: I have never forgotten you
Female: Until now, it was autumn
Male: From now on, it is a blooming season
மனதுக்கு தெரியும் என்னை
நான் மறந்ததில்லை என்றும் உன்னை

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This romantic duet depicts two lovers expressing their enduring affection and excitement for their shared future.

Through playful banter, metaphors of nature, and devotion, the song captures their joy, deep emotional bond, and eagerness to embrace love without any lingering loneliness.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uvamai)
“Idhuvarai ilaiyuthirkaalam / Inimael thalir vidum kolam”
Autumn (ilaiyuthirkaalam) symbolizes past hardships or separation, while spring (thalir vidum kolam) represents a new beginning filled with love.
End Rhyme (Iyaibu)
“Malarattum kankalil azhagu / Manam mayangattum nee alli thazhu / Valarattum idhu pol inimai”
The suffix '-attum' repeated at the line endings ('Malarattum', 'mayangattum', 'Valarattum') forms Iyaibu, emphasizing wishful expression and lyrical rhythm.
Alliteration & Rhyme (Monai)
“Angae sevvaanam sirikkum / Adhu ingae en kannam pazhikkum”
Use of similar sounding words ('sevvaanam sirikkum' and 'kannam pazhikkum') creates melodic rhythm and poetic harmony.
