தூரத்து காதல் ஓ
என் கோப்பை தேநீர்
அல்ல விண் முத்தம்
ஏதும் உன் மெய் முத்தம்
போலே அல்ல
Long-distance love, oh
Is not my cup of tea
No kiss from the sky
Is like your true physical kiss
நேரில் நீ நிற்பாயா
என் ஆசை எல்லாமே
கேட்பாயா என் கை
கோர்ப்பாயா
Will you stand in front of me in person?
Will you listen to all my desires?
Will you hold my hands?
ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ
காதலி நீ என்னோடு வா
உலவிரவு ஹோ ஹோ
ஹோ காதலி நீ என்னோடு
வா உலவிரவு
Ho ho ho, my beloved woman
Come with me for a night date
Ho ho ho, my beloved woman
Come with me for a night date
காலத்தை கொஞ்சம்
ஹே பின் நோக்கி ஓட
சொல்லு வேகங்கள்
வேண்டும் ஹே பெண்ணே
நீ கொஞ்சம் நில்லு
Ask time
Hey, to run backwards a little
No need for speed
Hey girl, stop for a moment
என் கண்ணை
பார்ப்பாயா என் காதல்
கோரிக்கை கேட்பாயா
என் கை கோர்பாயா
Will you look into my eyes?
Will you listen to my love request?
Will you hold my hands?
ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ
காதலி நீ என்னோடு வா
உலவிரவு ஹோ ஹோ
ஹோ காதலி நீ என்னோடு
வா உலவிரவு
Ho ho ho, my beloved woman
Come with me for a night date
Ho ho ho, my beloved woman
Come with me for a night date
பேருந்தில் ஏறி
பெருந்தூரம் சென்று
தெரியாத ஊரில்
நடப்போமே இன்று
Boarding a bus
Going a great distance
In an unknown town
Shall we walk today?
நமக்கு பிடிக்க
கலைகள் ரசித்து
வேதியல் இயற்பியல்
கணிதம் படித்து
Enjoying art
That we both like
Studying chemistry, physics
And mathematics
விழியில் சுடர்
ஆட ஒலி நாடா பாட
உன் விழியில் நானும்
என் வாழ்க்கையினை
தேட
As a spark dances in the eyes
As light and sound sing
In your eyes, I too
Search for my life
ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ
காதலி நீ என்னோடு வா
உலவிரவு ஹோ ஹோ
ஹோ காதலி நீ என்னோடு
வா உலவிரவு
Ho ho ho, my beloved woman
Come with me for a night date
Ho ho ho, my beloved woman
Come with me for a night date
கூடாரம் போட்டு
குளிர் காய்ந்த பின்னே
விண்மீன்கள் எண்ணி
துயில்வோமா பெண்ணே
Pitching a tent
After warming up from the cold
Counting the stars
Shall we sleep, my girl?
கொட்டும் அருவியில்
கட்டி கொண்டே குளிப்போம்
நீர் வலை பிடித்து தீயில்
வாட்டி சமைப்போம்
In the cascading waterfall
We will bathe holding each other tightly
Catching fresh water fish
We will roast on fire and cook
குறும் பார்வை
வேண்டும் குறும் செய்தி
அல்ல கை பேசி வீசி நாம்
கை வீசி செல்ல
I want a short glance from you
Not a short text message
Throwing away the mobile phone
Let us walk swinging our hands
ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ
காதலி நீ என்னோடு வா
உலவிரவு ஹோ ஹோ
ஹோ காதலி நீ என்னோடு
வா உலவிரவு
Ho ho ho, my beloved woman
Come with me for a night date
Ho ho ho, my beloved woman
Come with me for a night date
தூரத்து காதல்
ஹே என் கோப்பை
தேநீர் அல்ல விண்
முத்தம் ஏதும் உன்
மெய் முத்தம் போலே
அல்ல
Long-distance love, hey
Is not my cup of tea
No kiss from the sky
Is like your true physical kiss
நேரில் நீ நிற்பாயா

கோர்ப்பாயா என் கை
கோர்ப்பாயா என் கை

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Ulaviravu (meaning 'Night Date' or 'Romantic Night Stroll') expresses the longing of a lover tired of virtual, long-distance communication. The protagonist rejects digital texts and distant affection, yearning instead for physical presence, heartfelt eye contact, and simple real-world adventures like taking a random bus journey, pitching a tent under the stars, or walking hand in hand without smartphones.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Wordplay / Repetition
“Kai pesi veesi / Naam kai veesi chella”
Clever contrast using 'Kai pesi' (mobile phone) and 'kai veesi' (swinging hands), urging to throw away the phone and walk together hand in hand.
Metaphor / Adaptation
“En kopai thaeneer alla”
Direct translation and adaptation of the English idiom 'not my cup of tea' into Tamil as 'En kopai thaeneer alla'.
Monai (Alliteration)
“Kurum paarvai vendum / Kurum seithi alla”
Repetition of initial sounds in consecutive words or lines, such as 'Kurum paarvai' and 'Kurum seithi'.
