| Male | |
| Oru kan jaadai seidhaalae | If she makes a subtle glance with her eye |
| Manam panjaagum thanaalae | My heart automatically turns light as cotton |
| Idai vidadha anbaalae | With her unrelenting love |
| Enai venmegam seidhaalae | She turned me into a floating white cloud |
| Male | |
| Tharaiyil pogum megam ivala | Is she a cloud walking on the ground? |
| Mayangi paarthenae.. | I watched her, utterly mesmerized.. |
| Uyirum koochal podum | My very soul cries out in excitement |
| Aval seiyum maayam oyaadhae.. | The magic she performs never ceases.. |

ஒரு கண் ஜாடை
செய்தாலே மனம் பஞ்சாகும்
தன்னாலே இடைவிடாத
அன்பாலே எனை வெண்மேகம்
செய்தாளே
If she makes a subtle glance with her eye
My heart automatically turns light as cotton
With her unrelenting love
She turned me into a floating white cloud
தரையில் போகும்
மேகம் இவளா மயங்கி
பார்த்தேனே உயிரும்
கூச்சல் போடும் அவள்
செய்யும் மாயம் ஓயாதே
Is she a cloud walking on the ground?
I watched her, utterly mesmerized..
My very soul cries out in excitement
The magic she performs never ceases..
ஒரு கண் ஜாடை
செய்தாலே மனம் பஞ்சாகும்
தன்னாலே இடைவிடாத
அன்பாலே எனை வெண்மேகம்
செய்தாளே
If she makes a subtle glance with her eye
My heart automatically turns light as cotton
With her unrelenting love
She turned me into a floating white cloud
வானம் என்றால்
தலைக்கு மேலே இருக்கும்
என்று நினைத்திருந்தேன்
எந்தன் வானம் எதிரில் நின்று
புன்னகைத்தாள் மெய்மறந்தேன்
I used to think that the sky
Was something located high above our heads
My sky stood right in front of me
And when she smiled, I forgot myself completely
ஆசை எல்லாம்
பூட்டி வைத்தேனே சாவி
உந்தன் விழிகளிலே
அனுமதிக்கும் பார்வை
வந்தாலே அள்ளிக்கொள்வேன்
நிமிடத்திலே
I have locked away all my desires
And the key lies within your eyes
If a single permitting glance comes from you
I will gather you in my arms in a second
எந்நாளும் வேண்டுமே
உன்னோடு கைகள் சேர்த்து
போகும் நெடும் பயணம்
காதல் ஒன்றுதான் இறுதிவரை
வாழும் வாழ்வை அர்த்தமாக்கும்
I want this for all days
To walk holding hands with you
On a long journey
Only love alone
Lives on until the very end
And gives meaning to life
ஒரு கண் ஜாடை
செய்தாலே மனம் பஞ்சாகும்
தன்னாலே இடைவிடாத
அன்பாலே எனை வெண்மேகம்
செய்தாளே
If she makes a subtle glance with her eye
My heart automatically turns light as cotton
With her unrelenting love
She turned me into a floating white cloud
தொடரும் போட்ட
கதையை போல எந்தன்
மாலை முடிகிறதே உந்தன்
கண்கள் பார்க்கத்தானே எனது
காலை விடிகிறதே
Like a serialized ongoing story
My evening comes to a close
Just to see your eyes
My morning dawns
வாரம் ஏழு நாளும்
உன்னாலே வானவில்லாய்
தெரிகிறதே உன்னைக்காணா
நாட்கள் எல்லாமே கருப்பு
வெள்ளை ஆகிறதே
All seven days of the week, because of you
Appear bright like a rainbow
The days without seeing you
All turn into dull black and white
மின்சாரத் தோட்டமே
உன்மேனி பூக்கும் பூக்கள் ஒரு
அதிர்ச்சியடி காதல் செய்யலாம்
முழு பூமி பார்த்த மூச்சை ஆகும்படி
An electric spark garden
The flowers blooming on your body
Are like a shockwave
Let us make love
In a way that makes the whole earth
Hold its breath
கம் ஆன்
ஒரு கண் ஜாடை
செய்தாலே மனம் பஞ்சாகும்
தன்னாலே இடைவிடாத
அன்பாலே எனை வெண்மேகம்
செய்தாளே
Come on…
Male : If she makes a subtle glance with her eye
My heart automatically turns light as cotton
With her unrelenting love
She turned me into a floating white cloud
தரையில் போகும்
மேகம் இவளா மயங்கி
பார்த்தேனே உயிரும்
கூச்சல் போடும் அவள்
செய்யும் மாயம் ஓயாதே
Is she a cloud walking on the ground?
I watched her, utterly mesmerized..
My very soul cries out in excitement
The magic she performs never ceases..

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Kadhal Aasai' captures the ethereal and overwhelming feeling of falling deeply in love. The protagonist describes how a mere glance from his beloved lightens his heart to the weight of cotton and transports him into a state of blissful weightlessness, as if he were a white cloud floating in the sky. He views her as his ultimate heaven standing right before him, making his entire existence revolve around her presence. Throughout the track, the lyrics depict love as the ultimate force that gives life true meaning. When he is with her, his week blossoms into vivid colors like a rainbow, whereas days spent without her turn into monochromatic black and white. It celebrates both the tender emotional connection and the electrifying romantic passion shared between the two lovers.
