கனவு கனவு பூக்களை
நினைவில் நுகர்ந்து பார்க்கிறேன்
என் நாவில் நானே என் தேனாகிறேன்
I smell dream-like flowers
in my thoughts and memories.
On my own tongue, I become my own honey.
சிறகு சிறகு மேகத்தை
அணிந்து பறந்து போகிறேன்
நான் அற்ற நானாக நானாகிறேன்
Wearing wings made of clouds,
I fly away into the sky.
I become a self devoid of 'ego'.
ஆண் மற்றும் பெண் :
Ohoo.. in the blowing white wind,
to see my breath depart,
weaving a garment in the fire of my body,
I locked it away.
ஆஅ...அஹா..ஓ ஓ ஓ ஓ..
In that faded sky,
like a vibrant rainbow,
adding colors to my life,
I fell in love with you.
ஓஹோ.. வீசும் வெள்ளை காற்றில்
என் சுவாசம் நீங்க பார்க்க
என் தேக தீயில் ஆடை நெய்து
பூட்டி வைத்தேனே
Upon my chest,
at that moment when your breath flows,
a teardrop at the corner of my eye,
I saw it fall.
அந்த சாயம் போன வானில்
ஒரு வானவில்லை போலே
என் வாழ்வில் வண்ணம் சேர்த்த
உன்னை காதல் கொண்டேனே
Yeh..yeh yeh yehiyeh
In the blowing white wind,
to see my breath depart,
weaving a garment in the fire of my body,
I locked it away.
என் மார்பிலே
உன் மூச்சு பாயும் அந்த வேளையில்
கண்ணின் ஓரம் நீர் துளி
வீழ கண்டேனே
In that faded sky,
like a rainbow,
adding color to my life,
I fell in love with you.
ஏ.. ஏ ஏ..ஏஹி ஏ..
வீசும் வெள்ளை காற்றில்
என் சுவாசம் நீங்க பார்க்க
என் தேக தீயில் ஆடை நெய்து
பூட்டி வைத்தேனே
Like the serene silence on snowy mountains,
you lived,
until I arrived.
I attacked like a storm,
I hurled random lightnings,
I spoke incessantly like heavy rain.
அந்த சாயம் போன வானில்
ஒரு வானவில்லை போல
என் வாழ்வில் வண்ணம் சேர்த்த
உன்னை காதல் கொண்டேனே
Flowing down from tree branches,
rain drops
before touching the ground,
as if freezing in mid-air,
every single word you spoke,
I saw them freeze.
பனி மலைகளில் அமைதியை
போலே நீ வாழ்ந்தாய்
நான் வரும் வரையிலே
புயலென நான் தாக்கினேன்
ஏதேதோ மின்னல்கள் வீசினேன்
ஓயாமல் ஜோவென்று பேசினேன்
Do not lock this emotion
inside the small word called love.
மரக்கிளைகளில் வழிந்திடும்
மழை துளி
தரை விழும் முன்னே
உறைவதை போல
நீ உதிர்க்கும் வார்த்தை ஒவ்வொன்றும்
உறைந்து போக கண்டேனே
In the blowing white wind,
to see my breath depart,
weaving a garment in the fire of my body,
I locked it away.
இதை காதல் என்ற சின்ன சொல்லில்
பூட்டி வைக்காதே
In that faded sky,
like a rainbow,
adding color to my life,
I fell in love with you.
ஆண் மற்றும் பெண் :
Upon my chest,
at that moment when your breath flows,
a teardrop at the corner of my eye,
I saw it fall.
ஆஅ...அஹா..ஓ ஓ ஓ ஓ..

Pyaar, Prema, Kaadhal
வீசும் வெள்ளை காற்றில்
என் சுவாசம் நீங்க பார்க்க
என் தேக தீயில் ஆடை நெய்து
பூட்டி வைத்தேனே
அந்த சாயம் போன வானில்
ஒரு வானவில்லை போலே
என் வாழ்வில் வண்ணம் சேர்த்த
உன்னை காதல் கொண்டேனே
என் மார்பிலே
உன் மூச்சு பாயும் அந்த வேளையில்
கண்ணின் ஓரம் நீர் துளி
வீழ கண்டேனே
பியார் பிரேமா காதல்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'High On Love' portrays an intoxicating, dreamlike state of romance and deep emotional ecstasy. The protagonist describes feeling weightless and losing her ego in the sheer happiness of loving her partner, who brought vibrant colors to her previously bland and faded world. The lyrics contrast the quiet, peaceful nature of the lover with the whirlwind, passionate energy of the protagonist, comparing their dynamic to a storm hitting a serene snow-capped mountain. Ultimately, it expresses that the profundity of their connection transcends conventional boundaries and cannot be confined to just a simple word like 'love'.
