He is my brother
What a lovely soul
In a drizzle of milky rain,
A rainbow that has grown a tail,
When he leaps onto you,
He becomes a living painting.
In the breeze of passing time,
Like a song that has grown legs,
When he rushes and pounces upon you,
He becomes your soothing comfort.
With love that can melt stone,
Like affection that has sprouted teeth,
Holding your heart in his mouth,
He will soar high into the sky,
Joining together with you,
He will become your very life.
Holding your heart in his mouth,
He will soar high into the sky,
Joining together with you,
He will become your very life.
He yearns for a gentle touch,
He falls asleep on my chest,
Just like a mother,
He bosses me around!
Taking up half my bed,
Taking half the food on my plate,
He rules over my life.
He paints a sweet smile on my face,
He shows me a whole new world,
Whenever I try to walk away,
He turns into my shadow.
(Carnatic humming...)
A four-legged hero,
Pure as a gentle drizzle,
A little magician who
Turns my world upside down,
In the morning, he is my baby child,
In the evening, my loyal helper,
The protector of my love.
Whenever I have to leave,
He wets my feet with his tears,
And just for my return,
He waits faithfully every day.
With a gaze like no one
Has ever looked at me before,
In baby talk like no one
Has ever pampered me with before,
He touches my heart,
He fills me with pride,
And when the corner of my eye
Gets wet with tears,
He wilts in sadness too.
In a drizzle of milky rain,
A rainbow that has grown a tail,
When he leaps onto you,
He becomes a living painting.
With love that can melt stone,
Affection that has grown teeth,
He is my brother,
What a lovely soul!

Poetic devices

Uruvagaimai (Metaphor)

“Kaalamenum kaatrile / Kaal mulaitha gaanamai”

Describing time as wind ('Kaalamenum kaatrile') and affection as something that grows teeth or legs, metaphorically attributing physical traits to abstract feelings.

Edhugai (Second-letter Assonance)

“Kallurugum nesamaai / Pal mulaitha paasamaai”

Matching of the second consonant sound 'll' in adjacent poetic lines ('Kallurugum' and 'Pal mulaitha').

Monaif (Initial Rhyme / Alliteration)

“Irudhayam athai kavvi / Avan vaaneruvaan”

Repetition of initial letters and sounds such as 'I' in 'Irudhayam' and 'A' in 'Avan' creating melodic flow.

Oxymoron / Contrast

“Kaalaiyil seiavan / Maalayil sevagan”

Contrasting morning and evening roles ('seiavan' - child/doer vs 'sevagan' - servant) to highlight versatility in devotion.
