பார்வை ஒன்றே போதுமே
பல்லாயிரம் சொல் வேண்டுமா
பார்வை ஒன்றே போதுமே
பல்லாயிரம் சொல் வேண்டுமா
A single glance is more than enough.
Are thousands of words really needed?
A single glance is more than enough.
Are thousands of words really needed?
பேசாத கண்ணும் பேசுமா
பெண் வேண்டுமா பார்வை போதுமா
Can silent eyes speak as well?
Do you want the woman herself, or is a glance enough?
பார்வை ஒன்றே போதுமே !
A single glance is more than enough.
காதல் திராட்சை கொடியிலே
கள்ளோடு ஆடும் கனியிலே
ஊறும் இன்பக் கடலிலே
உன்னோடு நானும் ஆடவா
In the grapevine of love,
In the fruit swaying with sweet wine,
In the overflowing ocean of bliss,
Shall I sway and dance along with you?
அப்போது நெஞ்சம் ஆறுமா
எப்போதுமே கொண்டாடுமா
Will the heart find peace then?
Will it celebrate forever and ever?
பார்வை ஒன்றே போதுமே
A single glance is more than enough.
ஆசை கைகள் அழைப்பிலே
அஞ்சாமல் சேரும் அணைப்பிலே
வாழை மேனி வாடுமே
அம்மம்மா போதும் போதுமே
In the welcoming call of yearning hands,
In the fearless embrace that unites us,
My tender plantain-like body wilts in passion,
Oh my, enough, this is enough!
இல்லாமல் நெஞ்சம் ஆறுமா
இல்லாவிட்டால் பெண் ஆகுமா
Without that embrace, would the heart find peace?
Without it, is a woman truly complete?
பார்வை ஒன்றே போதுமா
A single glance is more than enough.
காலம் என்னும் காற்றிலே
கல்யாண வாழ்த்துப் பாட்டிலே
ஒன்று சேர்ந்து வாழலாம்
உல்லாச வானம் போகலாம்
In the breeze called time,
In the songs of wedding blessings,
இருவரும் :
அப்போது நெஞ்சம் ஆறுமே
எப்போதுமே கொண்டாடுமே
We can live together as one,
And soar into the sky of joy.
பார்வை ஒன்றே போதுமே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This romantic duet from the 1966 film Yaar Nee explores the interplay of silent glances and romantic longing between lovers. The lyrics emphasize that non-verbal expression often conveys deeper emotions than thousands of spoken words, while teasingly questioning whether love can be satisfied by looks alone or requires full emotional and physical union. Through vivid poetic imagery of grapevines, wine, tender embraces, and wedding tunes, Kannadasan captures the passion, sweetness, and excitement of romance.
