பூவிது தீ என்றால்
பூ என்ன செய்யும்
வலி தானே என்றும்
If this flower turns out to be fire,
What can the flower do?
It is always pain that remains.
உன் மீது என் தூக்கம்
விழி என்ன செய்யும்
கண்ணீரை தான் மிஞ்சும்
My sleep rests upon you,
What can my eyes do?
Only tears will remain.
நான் இங்கு கண்டேன் பொய் தூக்கமாய்
நாள் தோறும் கண்டேன் நானும் மாற்றம்
நீதானே வேண்டும்
நீ என்னை நீங்காதே
Here I have fallen into a fake slumber.
Every day, I witnessed a change within me.
You are the one I want,
Do not leave me.
காதலை காற்றோடு தொலைத்தேனே நான்
ஆசைகளை நேற்றோடு புதைத்தேனே நான்
காலமெல்லாம் காயங்கள் ஆராதோ
வானவில்லை என் வாழ்க்கை மாறாதோ
My love,
I lost it to the wind.
I buried my desires yesterday.
Will my wounds never heal for a lifetime?
Will my life not change like a rainbow?
போதும் ம்ம்
ஏன் இந்த சோகம்
எப்போது தீரும்
Enough... mm.
Why this sadness?
When will it end?
உன் மீது என் தூக்கம்
விழி என்ன செய்யும்
கண்ணீரை தான் மிஞ்சும்
My sleep rests upon you,
What can my eyes do?
Only tears will remain.
நான் இங்கு கண்டேன் பொய் தூக்கமாய்
நாள் தோறும் கண்டேன் நானும் மாற்றம்
நீதானே வேண்டும்
நீ என்னை நீங்காதே
Here I have fallen into a fake slumber.
Every day, I witnessed a change within me.
You are the one I want,
Do not leave me.
கைகளிலே வரமாக கிடைத்தாயே நீ
கனவுகளை என்னுடன் கலந்தாயே நீ
காலமெல்லாம் வலியோடு வாழ்ந்தேனே
நூறு ஜென்மம் என்னோடு வாராயோ
In my hands,
You came to me as a boon.
You carried dreams along with me.
I lived with pain all my life,
Won't you join me for a hundred lifetimes?
வாழ்வில் நீ வந்தால் போதும்
வேறு என்ன வேண்டும்
It is enough if you enter my life,
What else could I need?
பூங்காற்றே என் வாழ்வில்
நீ தானே வந்தாய் ஆனந்தம் தந்தாய்
நான் இங்கு ஆனேன் பூந்தோட்டமாய்
உன்னாலே கண்டேன் நானும் காதல்
எந்நாளும் அன்பே நான்தானே உன் மீது
Like a gentle breeze in my life,
You alone came,
And gave me joy.
Here I turned into a flower garden.
Because of you, I discovered love.
Forever, my love, I am yours.

Forever, my love, I am yours.
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song expresses the deep pain of heartbreak alongside an unyielding yearning for lost love. The protagonist uses delicate yet striking imagery—comparing gentle flowers to burning fire and restful sleep to a deceptive illusion—to capture the agony of emotional wounds. Despite burying past desires and enduring endless sorrow, the singer questions if time will ever bring healing and color back into life like a rainbow. Amidst the grief, there is a profound celebration of the joy the beloved once brought. Described as a gentle breeze ('Poongaatrae') that transformed the singer's life into a flourishing flower garden ('Poonthottamaai'), the loved one is viewed as a precious blessing. Ultimately, the song serves as an earnest plea for eternal reunion, declaring that love endures beyond pain across a hundred lifetimes.

Poetic devices
Metaphor
“Poovidhu thee endraal”
Compares a delicate flower to a burning fire to signify how love, which should bring comfort, causes immense pain.
Simile
“Vaanavillaai en vaazhkai maaradho”
Compares the desired transformation of life to a vibrant rainbow ('Vaanavillaai').
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Kaatrodu tholaithenae naan / Aasaigalai naetrodu pudhaithenae naan”
The deliberate ending of consecutive lines with 'tholaithenae naan' and 'pudhaithenae naan' creates a rhythmic, melancholic cadence.
Monai (Initial Alliteration)
“Kaadhalai / Kaatrodu / Kaalamellaam”
Repetition of the initial consonant 'Kaa' across lines 11, 12, and 14 establishes Tamil acoustic harmony.
Metaphor
“Naan ingu aanen poonthottamaai”
The protagonist compares their heart filled with happiness to a blooming flower garden ('poonthottamaai').
