நீ எனதருகினில் நீ
இதை விட ஒரு கவிதையே கிடையாதே
நீ எனதருகினில் நீ
இதை விட ஒரு புனிதமும் இருக்காதே
You, near me, you
There is no poem greater than this
You, near me, you
There is nothing more sacred than this
காற்றில் பூ போல நெஞ்சம்
கூத்தாடுதே
கண்கள் பாக்காத வெக்கம்
பந்தாடுதே
இது வரை தீண்டாத
ஓர் இன்பம் கை நீட்டுதே
Like a flower fluttering in the wind, my heart
Is dancing in joy
A shyness unseen by any eyes
Is tossing me around like a ball
Untouched until now
A sweet bliss extends its hand towards me
கனவா நிஜமா
இது இரண்டும் தானா
விட ஆராய்கின்ற தேடல்கள்
தேவை தானா
வெயிலா மழையா இது வானவில்லா
இதை அணைக்கின்ற ஆகாயம்
நானே நானா
Is it a dream or reality?
Or is it a blend of both?
Searches that demand a resolution
Are they really necessary?
Is it sunshine, rain, or a rainbow?
The sky that embraces all of these
Is it me, is it really me?
காதல் பாடிடும் பாடல்
நெஞ்சோரம் கேக்கின்றதே
அடடா ஒரு வித மயக்கம்
கண்ணோரம் பூக்கின்றதே
The song sung by love
Is heard in the corner of my heart
Oh, a strange kind of spellbound trance
Is blooming at the edge of my eyes
போகாதது சாகாதது
உன்னோடு என் யோசனை
ஓ ஹோ மூழாதது வாளானது
என்னோடு உன் வாசனை
இதுவரை உணராத உறவொன்று உறவானது
That which never leaves, that which never dies
Are my thoughts connected with you
Oh ho, that which never sank, that which came alive
Is your fragrance lingering with me
A bond unfelt until now has formed between us
கனவா நிஜமா
இது இரண்டும் தானா
விட ஆராய்கின்ற தேடல்கள்
தேவை தானா
வெயிலா மழையா இது வானவில்லா
இதை அணைக்கின்ற ஆகாயம்
நானே நானா
Is it a dream or reality?
Or is it a blend of both?
Searches that demand a resolution
Are they really necessary?
Is it sunshine, rain, or a rainbow?
The sky that embraces all of these
Is it me, is it really me?

Kaattril poo pola nenjam
Like a flower fluttering in the wind, my heart
Koothaadudhae
Is dancing in joy
Kangal paakaadha vekkam
A shyness unseen by any eyes
Pandhadudhae
Is tossing me around like a ball
Idhu varai theendaadha
Untouched until now

A sweet bliss extends its hand towards me

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song captures the overwhelming joy, wonder, and blissful confusion of falling deeply in love. The protagonist expresses that having her beloved close to her is the purest form of poetry and holiness. She feels an uncontainable happiness that makes her heart flutter like a flower in the breeze and her shyness bloom near her eyes. She questions whether this ethereal state is a dream or reality, ultimately deciding that seeking logical answers is unnecessary when love feels as expansive as the sky encompassing rain, sunshine, and rainbows.
