வானம் வழிவிட மண்ணும் நடமிட
சிந்தை மயங்கிட தெய்வம் வழிபட
As the sky makes way and the earth dances,
As the mind is entranced and God Himself pays homage,
காலம் நமதென கானம் நமதென
வாழ்வும் நமதென ஆடும் மயிலென
ஆனந்தம் வேறென்ன தேவை
Declaring that time is ours and music is ours,
Declaring life is ours, dancing like a peacock,
What other joy is ever needed?

An evening where the clouds lull you to sleep.
முத்துக்கள் பூவாக உதிரும்
முத்தங்கள் தேனாக மலரும்
பெண் : கனிகள் ஆராத்தி எடுக்கும்
கல்லெல்லாம் சங்கீதம் இசைக்கும்
Pearls shower down like blossoms,
Kisses bloom sweet like honey.
Fruits perform a welcoming ritual,
Even all the stones play melodies.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Ulagam Neeyaadum Chozhai is a romantic duet from the film Paattum Bharadhamum that celebrates the divine union of love, music, and dance. The lyrics portray a joyous atmosphere where nature itself participates in the couple's celebration—clouds sing lullabies, stones produce music, and the earth dances along with them. Kannadasan conveys that when two hearts become one through artistic and emotional harmony, life becomes an endless experience of bliss where no further happiness is required.
