காலைக் குயில்களே கவிதை பாடுதே
கண்ணில் காணும் யாவும் நெஞ்சில் இன்பமாகும்
பனித் துளியில் மலர்க் கொடிகள்
குளிக்கிற பொழுதல்லவா
பசும் கிளிகள் சிறகடித்தே பறக்கிற பொழுதல்லவா
Ohoho….
Morning cuckoos are singing poetry
Everything seen by the eyes turns into joy in the heart
In dew drops, flowering vines...
...are bathing at this hour, isn't it?
Is this not the hour when green parrots flap their wings and fly?

The mountain breeze arrives at the beautiful flower
And wipes its face to give pearl-like kisses, why is that so?
Upon seeing that, in the heart of this young maiden...
...why does a new emotion bloom?
எழில் கொஞ்சும் பூவில் மலைத் தென்றல் வந்து
முகம் துடைத்தே முத்து முத்தத்தை தருவது ஏனடியோ
அதைக் காணும் வேளை இளம் கன்னிப் பாவை
மனதினிலே புது உணர்ச்சி மலர்வதும் ஏனடியோ
Is this magic, or is this an illusion?
Is this magic, or is this an illusion?
Is it love or desire? Tell me the reason, my dear friend
இது என்ன மாயம் இது என்ன ஜாலம்
இது என்ன மாயம் இது என்ன ஜாலம்
காதலா ஆசையா காரணத்தை நீயும் சொல்லடி
Ohoho….

In this moment, at the corner of a young heart
Shyness builds a stage and dances like lightning
மலைச் சாரல் காற்று உடையோடு சேர்த்து
மலருடலை தழுவையிலே மணி விழி மயங்குதடி
எனைத் தூண்டும் பாட்டோ சுகம் பொங்கும் ஊற்றோ
என்ன என்னவோ உணர்வுகளை தொட்டுத் தொட்டு எழுப்புதடி
Everything seen by the eyes turns into joy in the heart
In dew drops, flowering vines...

Is this not the hour when green parrots flap their wings and fly?
இதில் இந்த நேரம் இளம் நெஞ்சின் ஓரம்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Kaalai Kuyilgal' from the 1992 film 'Unnai Vaazhthi Paadugiren' is a joyful morning song celebrating the beauty of nature and the sudden awakening of romantic feelings in a young woman. The song vividly captures a scenic morning where morning cuckoos sing like poets, flowering vines bathe in dew drops, and green parrots soar through the sky. Nature's gentle interactions—like the mountain breeze kissing flowers and embracing the protagonist—mirror the inner stirrings of youthful love and bashfulness, making her question whether this newfound bliss is love, desire, or magic.
