பருவம் போன பாதையிலே
என் பார்வையை ஓட விட்டேன்
அவன் உருவம் கண்ட நாள் முதலாய்
என் உள்ளத்தை ஆட விட்டேன்
Along the path where my youth traversed
I let my gaze wander
From the day I caught sight of his form
I let my heart dance with joy
பருவம் போன பாதையிலே
என் பார்வையை ஓட விட்டேன்
அவன் உருவம் கண்ட நாள் முதலாய்
என் உள்ளத்தை ஆட விட்டேன்
Along the path where my youth traversed
I let my gaze wander
From the day I caught sight of his form
I let my heart dance with joy
காதல் என்றொரு நாடகத்தை
என் கண் விழி மேடையில் நடித்ததில்லை
அதை கற்றுத் தந்தவன் திரு முகத்தை
கன்னியின் நெஞ்சம் மறப்பதில்லை
The drama known as love
Had never been staged through the eyes of mine
The divine face of the one who taught it to me
A maiden's heart shall never forget
பருவம் போன பாதையிலே
என் பார்வையை ஓட விட்டேன்
அவன் உருவம் கண்ட நாள் முதலாய்
என் உள்ளத்தை ஆட விட்டேன்
Along the path where my youth traversed
I let my gaze wander
From the day I caught sight of his form
I let my heart dance with joy
இதழில் வைத்த ஒரு புன்னகையில்
என் இதயத்தை அளந்து விட்டான்
இதழில் வைத்த ஒரு புன்னகையில்
என் இதயத்தை அளந்து விட்டான்
இரவில் வந்த பல கனவுகளில்
என் இறைவன் வளர்ந்து விட்டான்
இரவில் வந்த பல கனவுகளில்
என் இறைவன் வளர்ந்து விட்டான்
With a gentle smile placed upon his lips
He measured and captured my heart
With a gentle smile placed upon his lips
He measured and captured my heart
Through the many dreams that arrived at night
My lord grew into a prominent figure in my thoughts
Through the many dreams that arrived at night
My lord grew into a prominent figure in my thoughts
எனக்கு எனக்கென்று இருந்த இளமையை
தனக்கென்று கேட்டு விட்டான்
இல்லை இல்லை என்று சொல்ல முடியாமல்
என்னைக் கொடுத்து விட்டேன்
என்னைக் கொடுத்து விட்டேன்
ஆஆஹ்..ஓஓஹ்...ம்ம்ம்...லலல லா....
The youthfulness that belonged exclusively to me
He asked entirely for himself
Unable to say 'No, no'
I surrendered myself to him
I surrendered myself to him
பருவம் போன பாதையிலே
என் பார்வையை ஓட விட்டேன்
அவன் உருவம் கண்ட நாள் முதலாய்
என் உள்ளத்தை ஆட விட்டேன்
Along the path where my youth traversed
I let my gaze wander
From the day I caught sight of his form
I let my heart dance with joy
கொடியின் இடையில் ஒரு பாரமில்லை
என் வழியில் நடந்து வந்தேன்
குழந்தை மனதில் ஒரு கலக்கமில்லை
என் காலம் கடந்து வந்தேன்
There was no heavy burden on my slender waist
I walked peacefully along my own way
There was no distress in my child-like mind
I spent my days in tranquility
மாலைப் பொழுதில் இளம் தென்றல் தொடாத
மலராய் நானிருந்தேன்
மன்னன் வந்த அந்த வேளையிலே
அவன் மடியில் ஏன் விழுந்தேன்
மடியில் ஏன் விழுந்தேன்
ஆஆஹ்..ஓஓஹ்...ம்ம்ம்...லலல லா....
Like a blossom untouched by even the evening breeze
I remained pure and unblemished
The moment my king arrived
Why did I fall helpless into his lap?
Why did I fall into his lap?
Aahaa…ohoo…mmmm..lalalalala…
பருவம் போன பாதையிலே
என் பார்வையை ஓட விட்டேன்
அவன் உருவம் கண்ட நாள் முதலாய்
என் உள்ளத்தை ஆட விட்டேன்
உள்ளத்தை ஆட விட்டேன்....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This classic romantic track captures a young woman's poetic reflections on falling in love and surrendering her heart to her beloved. She reminisces about her carefree, innocent past—a life as unburdened as a slender creeper and as untouched as a flower oblivious to the evening breeze. Everything changes when her beloved enters her life; his gentle smile and subtle charm captivate her completely, turning her nightly dreams into a sanctuary of love. Unable to resist his irresistible charm, she willingly gives away her youth and devotion. The lyric beautifully balances innocent hesitation with profound emotional surrender, painting love as a captivating drama taught by her king.
