Looking at you without speaking
Talking to you without sleeping
Without even feeling like sleeping
I thought about you
பார்த்து கொண்டே பேசாமல்
பேசிக்கொண்டே தூங்காமல்
தூங்கும் எண்ணம் தோன்றாமல்
உன்னை யோசித்தேன்
Time and occasion not being enough
Without saying 'enough'
Unchanging as much as possible
I read you like a book
நேரம் காலம் போதாமல்
போதும் என்று கூறாமல்
கூடும் வரை மாறாமல்
உன்னை வாசித்தேன்
In your strange gaze
You make me breathless for a few seconds
Just to have an argument
To talk frequently
வினோத பார்வையிலே
சில விநாடி மூச்சடைப்பாய்
விவாதம் நடத்துவேன்
அடிக்கடி பேச
Looking at you without speaking
Talking to you without sleeping
Without even feeling like sleeping
I thought about you
பார்த்து கொண்டே பேசாமல்
பேசிக்கொண்டே தூங்காமல்
தூங்கும் எண்ணம் தோன்றாமல்
உன்னை யோசித்தேன்
Inside my heart, so many things
Are gathered and lying around
Just to express all of them
Is my desire
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே என்னென்னவோ
சேர்ந்து கிடக்கு
அத்தனையும் சொல்லிடத்தான்
ஆசை எனக்கு
Those eyes through the window
Lie watching constantly
The distance where I can hear your anklet sound
Is heaven to me
ஜன்னல் வழி கண்கள் அது
பார்த்து கிடக்கு
உன் கொலுசொலி கேட்கும் தூரம்
சொர்க்கம் எனக்கு
More than in your love, in your anger
There is greater affection
That brings your sense of entitlement into the light
உன் அன்பை விட கோபத்தில்தான்
பாசம் அதிகம்
அது உரிமையை வெளிச்சத்தில்
காட்டிடுமே
Oh, I bent like a question mark
I floated in your dream
I fell without falling
To you, I too
ஹோ வினாவை போல் வளைந்தேன்
உன் கனாவில் நான் மிதந்தேன்
விழாமல் விழுந்தேன்
உன்னிடம் நானும்
Haa... aaa... aaa...
My mind that saw your face in childhood
As a child
Looked for that same face
In my bride
ஹா......ஆஅ......ஆ.....
மழலையில் உந்தன் முகம்
பார்த்த மனது
மன பெண்ணில் அந்த முகம்
தேடியதே
Your house to me
Is not far away
My house does not leave me
Nor separate from me
உந்தன் வீடு எனக்கது
தூரம் இல்லை
எந்தன் வீடும் என்னை விட்டு
பிரிவதில்லை
My shadow has more love
Than I do myself
It overtakes me and leans
Upon you
என் நிழலுக்கு என்னை விட
காதல் அதிகம்
அது என்னை முந்தி உந்தன் மீது
சாய்ந்திடுமே
In your strange gaze
You make me breathless for a few seconds
Just to have an argument
To talk frequently
வினோத பார்வையிலே
சில விநாடி மூச்சடைப்பாய்
விவாதம் நடத்துவேன்
அடிக்கடி பேச
Looking at you without speaking
Talking to you without sleeping
Without even feeling like sleeping
I thought about you
பார்த்து கொண்டே பேசாமல்
பேசிக்கொண்டே தூங்காமல்
தூங்கும் எண்ணம் தோன்றாமல்
உன்னை யோசித்தேன்
Aaaa... aaa... time and occasion
ஆஅ......ஆ....நேரம் காலம்
Saying 'enough'
போதும் என்று
Unchanging as much as possible
I read you
கூடும் வரை மாறாமல்
உன்னை வாசித்தேன்
Haa... I bent like a question mark
I floated in your dream
Female: In your strange gaze
You make me breathless for a few seconds (Overlap)
ஹா..... வினாவை போல் வளைந்தேன்
உன் கனாவில் நான் மிதந்தேன்
வினோத பார்வையிலே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Paarthu Kondae Pesaamal' captures the sweet nuances of falling in love and the delightful intoxication of being absorbed in someone's thoughts. The singer describes sleepless nights, the unspoken comfort of looking at one another, and the overwhelming desire to share every hidden emotion stored within the heart. Small everyday details—like hearing the sound of anklets or finding joy even in playful anger—are portrayed as ultimate bliss.
