{ பட்டாம்பூச்சி
கூப்பிடும்போது பூவே

When the butterfly calls, oh flower, do not run away

When tasting the honey of love, do not speak
யானை தந்தத்தின்
சிலை நீயே தினம் ஏறும்
தங்கத்தின் விலை நீயே
You are a sculpture made of ivory
You are like the daily rising price of gold
காதல் வீசிய
வலை நீயே என்னைக்கட்டி
இழுக்காதே
You are the net cast by love
Do not bind me and pull me

எதைத்தருவது நான்
என்று எதைப்பெறுவது தான்
என்று குறுக்கும் நெடுக்கும்
குழந்தைப்போல இதயம்
குதித்தோட
Wondering what I should give
Wondering what I should receive
My heart leaps around like a restless child
தலை அசைக்குது
உன் கண்கள் தவி தவிக்குது
என் நெஞ்சம் ஒருத்திப்போல
ஒருத்தி வந்து உயிரைப்பந்தாட
Your eyes nod in agreement
My heart yearns restlessly
Coming like no one else
To play with my life like a ball
ஞாபகம் உன்
ஞாபகம் அது முடியாத
முதலாகும்
Memories, your memories
They are an endless beginning
பூ முகம் உன் பூ
முகம் அது முடியாத
முதல் பாகம்
Flower face, your flower-like face
That is an endless first chapter
பெண் கவிதை
இவள்தானே உன் இதழால்
படிப்பாயோ கண் இமையால்
என்னை காதல் திறப்பாயோ
She is a female poem, will you read her with your lips?
Will you open love by transforming me with your eyelids?
பட்டாம்பூச்சி
கூப்பிடும்போது பூவே
ஓடாதே
When the butterfly calls, oh flower, do not run away
ஹோய் ஹோய்
காதல் தேனை
சாப்பிடும்போது
பேசக்கூடாதே
Hoi hoi, when tasting the honey of love, do not speak
அலைவரிசையில்
நீ சிரிக்க தொலை தொடர்பினில்
நான் இருக்க உதடும் உதடும்
பேசும்பொழுது உலகை
மறந்தேனே
When you laugh across the airwaves
While I am on the telecommunication line
When lips talk to lips, I forgot the world
உனது அருகினில்
நான் இருக்க உயிர் குளத்தினில்
பூ முளைக்க இரண்டாம் முறையாய்
இதயம் துடிக்க புதிதாய் பிறந்தேனே
When I am near you
As a flower blooms in the pond of life
My heart beats for the second time, and I am born anew

பொன் மாலையில்
உன் மடிமீது விழுவேனே
In the rain, in the golden rain
I will fall upon your lap
மார்பினில்
உன் மார்பினில் நான்
மருதாணி மழைதானே
On your chest, on your chest
I am a rain of henna
வெண்ணிலவோ
நெடுந்தூரம் பெண் நிலவோ
தொடும் தூரம் உன் மழையில்
நனைந்தாலே காய்ச்சல் பறந்தோடும்
The white moon is far away
The woman moon is within touching distance
If I get drenched in your rain, the fever will fly away
பட்டாம்பூச்சி
கூப்பிடும்போது பூவே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Pataampoochi Kupidum Bothu from the film Kaavalan is a playful and deeply affectionate romantic duet. The song metaphorically portrays lovers as a butterfly and a flower enjoying the silent nectar of love. Through imagery of phone calls, golden rain, and reachable moons, the track captures the joy, restlessness, and intimate rebirth that love brings to both protagonists.
