While I am living in Madurai,
And you reside in Salem city,
When will we ever unite together?
Hmmm... uuu... uu...

A flower-like heart that thrives in love
Must be reached before it fades away, my Kannaa.
In the swaying wind...
Like a creeper swaying restlessly in the breeze,
Will you leap over and embrace me, my Kannaa?
Run to me... come singing...
Come to celebrate me in my life!
ஆடும் காற்றில்.....ஆடும் காற்றில்
அலைபாயும் கொடியை
தாவி வந்து தழுவாயோ கண்ணா
ஓடி வா.... பாடி வா
வாழ்விலே என்னை கொண்டாடவா

Singing a melody...
The life you gave me by singing a melody,
Must remain golden for all eternity.
Shall I say more?
Oh Goddess, may my heart become pure honey!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This classic song expresses the deep pain of separation and the yearning for emotional and spiritual union. Set against the backdrop of nature's morning cycle—dawn breaking and flowers blooming—the protagonist compares her restless heart to a creeper caught in a gale and a spotted deer crying out for its mate. She pleads with her beloved not to let their sacred bond dissolve away like kohl in water, praying for a reunion that turns her life golden.
