Come running to me, my love,
come caress my hair like a gentle breeze.
While I am looking for you,
from behind me,
come cover my eyes.
To the melody heard
from far away,
my sleep is gently
disturbed.
Just to touch your fingers
that strum those notes,
I will stay awake, my love.
On nights when the power goes out,
the lone street lamp
confesses its love.
The tiny pause when you blink your eyes
is enough time for me to tell you my love.
If your love wins,
it feels like mine will lose.
Female: Why?
Male: Because there is only one date fruit, isn't there?
Come singing to me, my love.
You come singing a lullaby,
and I will hum along.
Whosever face I look at,
only your face appears before me.
Can my eyes ever sleep?
When I open my eyes at dawn,
a few flowers are smiling.
Like a butterfly fluttering into my room,
memories of you drift in.
On those days when rain falls
together with bright sunshine,
those flowers bloom.
To that wild flower,
I gave your name today, my love...
Haa... aa... haa... aah...
Haa... aa... haa... aah...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.
