ஓ......டிவா காதலே
சிறு காற்றாய் தலை கோத வா
தேடிடும் போதிலே
என்னை பின்னாலே
கண் மூட வா
Come running, my love
Come stroke my hair like a gentle breeze
While searching for you
From behind me
Come cover my eyes
தொலை தூரம்
கேக்கும் இசையினிலே
என் தூக்கம் கொஞ்சம் கலைகிறதே
In the music heard
From far away
My sleep is a bit
Disturbed
அதை மீட்டும்
உந்தன் விரல் தொடுவே
நான் விழித்திருப்பேன் அன்பே
To play that melody again, your
Fingertip's touch is needed
I will stay awake, my love
On nights when the power goes out
Expressing its love is the
Street light
The brief moment when you blink your eyelids
Is all I need to express my love
மின்சாரம் தொலையும் இரவினிலே
தன் காதலை சொல்லும் தெருவிளக்கு
நீ இமைகள் மூடும் இடைவெளிதான்
என் காதல் சொல்வதற்கு
If your love wins
It feels as though my love might lose
Female: Why?
Male: Because there's only one date fruit!
உன் காதல் ஜெய்ச்சா
என் காதல் ஜெய்க்காது போல இருக்கே
ஏன்
ஒரு பேரிச்சம்பழம்தான இருக்கு
Come singing, my love
You come, my lullaby
I myself am a lullaby
பாடி வா காதலே
நீ வா ராரீரீ........
நானே ராரரீ.........
யார் முகம் காணிலும்
உன் முகம் தோணுதே
இமை தூங்குமா
Whosever face I look at
Your face appears to me
Will my eyelids ever sleep?
அதிகாலை கண்ணால் விலக்கயிலே
சில பூக்கள் சிரிக்கிறதே.....
அறை நுழையும் பட்டாம் பூச்சி
என உன் ஞாபகம் வருகிறதே
When my eyes open early in the morning
A few flowers are smiling
Like a butterfly fluttering into the room
Your memory comes to me
வெயிலோடு மழை வரும்
நாட்களிலே அந்த பூக்கள் பூக்கிறதே
அந்த காட்டுப் பூவுக்கு
உன் பெயரை சூட்டிவிட்டேன் அன்பே
On days when rain falls
Along with sunshine
Those special flowers bloom
To that wild flower, your name
I have bestowed today, my love…
ஹா.....ஆஆ....ஹா....ஆஅ....
ஹா....ஆ....ஹா.....ஆஅ......

Come running, my love
Siru kaatraai thalai kodha vaa
Come stroke my hair like a gentle breeze
Thedidum pothilae
While searching for you

To play that melody again, your
Viral thodavae
Fingertip's touch is needed

Will my eyelids ever sleep?
Adhikaalai kangal thirakaiyilae
When my eyes open early in the morning
Sila pookkal sirikirathae
A few flowers are smiling
Arai nuzhaiyum pattam poochi ena
Like a butterfly fluttering into the room
Un gnyabagam varugirathae
Your memory comes to me
Veyilodo mazhai varum
On days when rain falls
Naatkalilae
Along with sunshine
Andha pookkal pookirathae
Those special flowers bloom
Andha kaatu poovukku un peyarai
To that wild flower, your name
Indru sootti vitten anbae…
I have bestowed today, my love…
Haa…aa…haa…aaa….

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from 'Azhagai Irukkirai Bayamai Irukkirathu' (2006) captures the tender, playful, and comforting emotions of deep romantic affection. The protagonist calls out to love, comparing it to gentle breezes caressing hair, sweet music interrupting sleep, and quiet streetlights shining during power outages. The track beautifully depicts how love transforms small everyday moments into magical experiences. Throughout the track, subtle playful interactions—such as the humorous line about a single date fruit—contrast with deeply evocative imagery like butterflies drifting into a quiet room or wildflowers blooming during sun-showers. Ultimately, the song expresses a sweet, unpretentious yearning where every element of nature becomes a reflection of the beloved.
