King, my great king, where are you?
Has your kingdom fallen? Tell me!
You were right before my eyes,
Why did you close your eyes and fly away?
My king, you are my rose...
Queen, my great queen, my lovely muse,
I have lost my night's sleep, my henna girl,
Into your precious golden ears,
I whispered my love.
My queen, you are my honeybee.
...
Did you say even a single word?
Did you go and befriend the god of death?
Oh, my precious king,
Won't you wake up?
King, my king, my king...
You must come just for me,
You must give me a place in your heart.
Just one word from you
Is a whole new life for me,
For you and me to unite...
What does morning or evening matter,
To keep waiting?
What does time or hour matter,
To blossom in love?
To hold each other and intertwine,
For epic love stories to stand
And speak our names,
No reasons at all
Are needed here,
There is nothing to hold us back.
It is an illness that does not spread by touch, my dear,
Yet even if you try to leave it, it won't let go, look!
It locks up the body,
It shakes up the whole land,
Is love ever a simple thing?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Parody / Dramatic Irony

“Nee emanoda uravaada ninnaaiyo”

Edhugai (Second-letter Rhyme)

“Thegatha pooti vaikkum / Thesatha aatti vaikkum”

Rhyming of the second letter across lines ('Thegatha' and 'Thesatha').

Metaphor (Uruvagam)

“Thotaalum paravaatha noiyammaa”

Comparing love to an intriguing, incurable disease that locks the body and shakes the land.
