மௌனமே பார்வையாய்
பேசி கொண்டோம் நாணமே
வண்ணமாய் பூசி கொண்டோம்
With silence as our gaze
We spoke to each other
With shyness as our color
We painted ourselves
புன்னகை புத்தகம்
வாசிக்கின்றோம் என்னிலே
உன்னையே சுவாசிக்கின்றோம்
A book of smiles
We are reading
Within myself, you
We are breathing
இது உள்ளம் பல
வண்ணங்களை அள்ளும்
சில எண்ணங்களை சொல்லும்
துள்ளும் கண்ணம்மா
This heart
Gathers many colors
Expresses a few thoughts
Leaps with joy… my dear Kannamma
மௌனமே பார்வையாய்
பேசி கொண்டோம்
ஹ்ம்ம்
நாணமே வண்ணமாய்
பூசி கொண்டோம்
கண்ணம்மா
With silence as our gaze
We spoke to each other… Female: Hmmm…
With shyness as our color
We painted ourselves
My dear Kannamma…
ஹ்ம்ம்
ஹ்ம்ம்
ஆஹா ஆஆ
Hmmm…
Female: Hmmm…
Male: Ahaa…aaaaa…….
ஜனனம் தந்தால்
சலனம் தந்தால் காதல்
மொழியில்
She gave birth
She gave agitation
In the language of love
மரணம் கொஞ்சம்
மயக்கம் கொஞ்சம் உந்தன்
தரவில்
A little bit of death
A little bit of trance
In your giving
என்றும் வாழ்க வாழ்க
இந்த நேரங்கள் சுகம் சேர்க
சேர்க வரும் காலங்கள் மலர்
சூழ்க சூழ்க இவர் பாதைகள்
தினம் வெல்க வெல்க
இளம் ஆசைகள்
May they live long forever
These moments
May pleasure accumulate
The coming times
May flowers surround
Their paths
May they conquer every day
Young desires
ஒரு செய்தி அடி
நீ என்பது என் பாதி இனி
நான் என்பது உன் மீதி
தேதி சொல்லம்மா
A piece of news
Listen girl, 'you' means half of me
From now on, 'I' means the rest of you
Tell me the date, my dear…
மௌனம் பார்வையாய்
மௌனமே பார்வையாய்
பேசி கொண்டோம்
நாணமே வண்ணமாய்
பூசி கொண்டோம் கண்ணம்மா
Silence as a gaze…
With silence as our gaze
We spoke to each other
Male: With shyness as our color
We painted ourselves
Kannamma
இலக்கணம் உடைத்ததும்
கவிதை வரும் இரவினை
துடைத்ததும் கனவு வரும்
When grammar is broken
Poetry emerges
When the night is wiped away
A dream arrives
ஸ்வரங்களை திறந்ததும்
இசை மலரும் உணர்விலே
கரைந்ததும் கலை வளரும்
When notes are unlocked
Music blossoms
When dissolved in feelings
Art grows
மொழி தோன்றாத
காலத்தில் நுழைந்தால் என்ன
விழி ஜாடைகள் பேசியே
நடந்தால் என்ன
In an era before language existed
What if we enter?
Speaking through eye signals
What if we walk along?
என்றும் வாழ்க வாழ்க
இந்த நேரங்கள் சுகம் சேர்க
சேர்க வரும் காலங்கள் மலர்
சூழ்க சூழ்க இவர் பாதைகள்
தினம் வெல்க வெல்க
இளம் ஆசைகள்
May they live long forever
These moments
May pleasure accumulate
The coming times
May flowers surround
Their paths
May they conquer every day
Young desires
ஒரு வெல்லினத்தை
வல்லினமும் கை சேர உன்
காம்பியதை தோழி உந்தன்
கண்ணாலே பேசு
A soft consonant class
Joining hands with a hard consonant class
Your epic poem, my dear friend
Speak it through your eyes
மௌனமே பார்வையாய்
பேசி கொண்டோம்
நாணமே வண்ணமாய்
பூசி கொண்டோம்
With silence as our gaze
We spoke to each other
Female: With shyness as our color
We painted ourselves

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poetic duet depicts a profound romance that transcends spoken words, celebrating unspoken communication between lovers. The song describes how silence becomes a gaze, shyness becomes a palette of colors, and a smile becomes a book to be read. Through gentle metaphor, the lyrics suggest that true love communicates through glances and emotion rather than formal language.
