பூவே இது காற்றின் கீதம் உயிர் பாடும் வேதம்
பூவே இது காற்றின் கீதம் உயிர் பாடும் வேதம்
கண்ணோரம் காதல் சேர்த்து
கண்ணே உன்னைப் பார்க்கின்றேன்
நெஞ்சோட நெஞ்சம் பேச நேரம்தானே கேட்கின்றேன்
மௌனம் விடு மல்லிகையே மாலை கோர்க்கின்றேன்

இரவா பகலா தெரியாதிருந்தேன்
இமை எங்கும் தேவியே உன் கனவை சுமந்தேன்
சரியோ தவறோ மனதை இழந்தேன்
உலகங்கள் மாறினாலும் உனை நான் மறவேன்
I remained unaware whether it was night or day.
Oh goddess, across my eyelids I carried your dreams.
Right or wrong, I have surrendered my heart.
Even if worlds change, I will never forget you.
வாழ்வினில் ஒரு நாள் வருவது உறுதி
காதலின் கடலை கடப்பதும் உறுதி
நீயெந்தன் கோயில் தேவதை
கேள் எந்தன் நெஞ்சின் பாடலை
It is certain that one day will come in life.
It is certain that we will cross the ocean of love.
You are the deity in my temple,
Listen to this song of my heart.
பூவே இது காற்றின் கீதம் உயிர் பாடும் வேதம்

நிலவாய் நடந்தாய் நிலழலாய் தொடர்ந்தேன்
ஒரு வார்த்தை போதும் எந்தன் உயிரை தருவேன்
மலராய் சிரித்தாய் பனியாய் குளிர்ந்தேன்
தடையென்ன வந்தபோதும் துணையாய் வருவேன்
You walked like the moon, and I followed like a shadow.
Just one word is enough, I will give my life.
You smiled like a flower, and I felt chilled like the dew.
Whatever obstacles arise, I will come as your companion.
இளமையில் காதல் இயற்கையின் நடனம்
ஏனிந்த மௌனம் இது உந்தன் தருணம்
நீயாக உன் நெஞ்சினை கொடு
இல்லை என் மூச்சினை எடு...
Love in youth is the dance of nature.
Why this silence? This is your moment.
Give your heart willingly,
Or else, take away my breath.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Poovae Idhu Kattrin Geedham' is a deep, romantic declaration of love where the protagonist compares his beloved to a delicate flower and a temple deity. He expresses how consumed he is by her thoughts, losing track of day and night as her dreams dwell on his eyelids. He promises unconditional devotion, asserting that no matter what obstacles or changing circumstances arise, his love and companionship will remain steadfast.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uvamaani)
“Poovae idhu kattrin geedham uyir paadum vedham”
The beloved is addressed directly as 'Poovae' (Flower) and 'Malligaiyae' (Jasmine), while the song of love is equated to a 'vedham' (sacred script/chant) sung by the soul.
Simile (Uvamai)
“Nilavaai nadanthaai nilazhalaai thodarnthaen”
The lover compares her graceful movement to the moon ('Nilavaai nadanthaai') and his devoted presence to a shadow ('nilazhalaai thodarnthaen').
Contrast / Hyperbole
“Neeyaaga un nenjinai kodu / Illai en moochchinai edu”
The ultimate devotion is highlighted through dramatic extremes—demanding her heart voluntarily or taking his breath entirely.
