பால் மழையின் தூரலில்
வால் முளைத்த வானவில்
உன் மீது தாவிடும் போது
ஓவியம் ஆவான்
In the drizzle of milky rain,
A rainbow without a tail,
When it pounces upon you,
He will become a painting.
காலமெனும் காற்றிலே
கால் முளைத்த கானமாய்
உன் மேலே பாய்ந்திடுபோது
ஆறுதல் ஆவான்
In the wind called time,
Like a song that has grown legs,
When it rushes upon you,
He will become solace.
கல்லுருகம் நேசமாய்
பல் முளைத்த பாசமாய்
இருதயம் அதை கவ்வி
அவன் வானெருவான்
உனை உனை உனை சேர்ந்தே
உயிராய் மாறுவான்
As love that melts even stone,
As affection that has grown teeth,
Seizing the heart,
He will rise to the sky.
Joining with you, you, you,
He will become your very life.
இருதயம் அதை கவ்வி
அவன் வானெருவான்
உனை உனை உனை சேர்ந்தே
உயிரை மாறுவான்
Seizing the heart,
He will rise to the sky.
Joining with you, you, you,
He will become your very life.
தீண்டலுக்கு ஏங்குவான்
மார்பிலே தூங்குவான்
அவன் தாய் போல் என்னை
வேலை வாங்குவான்
He yearns for a gentle touch,
He sleeps on the chest,
Like a mother, from me,
He gets his work done.
கட்டிலில் பாதியாய்
என் தட்டிலே பாதியாய்
என் வாழ்வை ஆளுவான்
Half of the bed,
Half of my plate,
He will rule over my life.
குறுஞ்சிரிப்பு தீட்டுவான்
வேருலகைக் காட்டுவான்
நான் விலகி போகையில்
என் நிழல் என்றாகுவான்
He strokes a subtle smile,
He shows a whole new world,
When I move away,
He becomes my shadow.

[Carnatic swara passage]
நாலுகால் நாயகன்
தூறலாய் தூயவன்
தலைகீழாய் என்னை
மாற்றும் மாயவன்
The master of all days,
A pure soul like a soft drizzle,
Turning me completely upside down,
A magician who transforms me.
காலையில் சேயவன்
மாலையில் சேவகன்
என் காதல் காவலன்
A mischievous child in the morning,
A devoted servant in the evening,
The protector of my love.
நான் பிரியும்போதிலே
என் கால்நனைப்பவன்
என் வருகைக்காகவே
தினம் காத்திருப்பவன்
Whenever I depart,
He wets my feet with his tears,
Just for my arrival,
He waits eagerly every day.
இது வரை எனை யாரும் யாரும்
காணாத விழிகளிலே
இது வரை எனை யாரும் யாரும்
கொஞ்சாத மொழிகளிலே
With eyes that no one until now,
Has ever looked at me with,
With sweet words that no one until now,
Has ever pampered me with,
மனதை தொடுவான்
மமதை தருவான்
எனது விழியோரம்
ஈரம் நேரும்போது
தானும் வாடுவான்
He will touch my heart,
He will fill me with pride and joy.
At the corner of my eyes,
When tears begin to well up,
He too will wither in sadness.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This soulful song from 'Shot Boot 3' expresses deep, unconditional love and affection towards a beloved companion and brother figure (specifically portrayed through a pet dog / younger sibling bond in the film context). Lyricist Madhan Karky paints vivid imagery of how this innocent soul transforms everyday life into magic, sharing every aspect of existence—from half the bed and plate to being a constant shadow and emotional anchor.
