உன் அழகை ரசித்து பார்க்க
ஒரு கனவு உலகம் தோன்றுதே
மயங்கி மயங்கி மாயமாகிறேன்
To admire your beauty and behold,
A dream world appears before me.
Swooning and swooning, I turn into magic.
உன் அருகில் சிரித்து பேச
பல யுகங்கள் கணங்கள் ஆகுதே
தயங்கி தயங்கி நேரம் ஓடுதே
To laugh and talk right beside you,
Many ages turn into mere moments.
Hesitating and hesitating, time runs away.
அழகாய் இந்த மயக்கம்
என்னை கொஞ்ச கொஞ்ச கிள்ளுதே
அடடா இந்த பழக்கம்
என்னை மெல்ல மெல்ல கொல்லுதே
Beautiful is this spellbound state,
It gently pinches me bit by bit.
Oh my, this sweet habit,
Is slowly, slowly killing me.
என்னை மறந்து பார்த்தே
பல நிஜங்கள் மறந்து
பார்க்கிறேன் நெருங்க நெருங்க
தொலைந்து போகிறேன்
Looking, having forgotten myself,
Forgetting many realities,
I look; as I draw closer and closer,
I get completely lost.
மனக்கதவு திறந்து பார்த்தேன்
அதில் புதிய உணர்வு தோன்றுதே
பெறுக பெறுக காதல் ஓடுதே
I opened and looked at the door of my heart,
A new feeling blossoms within it.
Overflowing and overflowing, love flows.
அங்கிருந்தும் எங்கிருந்தும்
என்னை நீயும் மறைந்து பார்க்க
இப்பொழுதும் எப்பொழுதும்
உன்னை நானும் ரசித்து பார்க்கிறேன்
From there and from everywhere,
As you hide and gaze at me,
Right now and forever,
I keep admiring and gazing at you too.
நெருங்க நெருங்க
தொலைந்து போகிறேன்
முடிவில்லாமல் மௌனமாகிறேன்
Drawing closer and closer,
I get completely lost.
Endlessly, I become silent.
நிஜங்கள் தோன்றுதே
நிழலும் தோன்றுதே
நிஜமும் நிழலும் சேரும் தருணம்
நிறங்கள் மாறுதே
Realities begin to appear,
Shadows appear as well.
The moment reality and shadow meet,
Colors begin to change.
தனிமை தோளிலே மயங்கி வாடினேன்
தவறை திருத்த மனங்கள் இரண்டும்
தயங்கி வாழுதே
Fainting and wilting on the shoulder of loneliness,
Two minds trying to correct a mistake,
Are living in hesitation.
கலைந்து போன காதல் இரண்டும்
கரையை சேருமா
தொலைந்து போன
பாதை மீண்டும் கலக்க கூடுமா
Will the two loves that were scattered,
Ever reach the shore?
That path which was lost,
Will it ever merge together again?
பல வலிகள் தந்த காதல் இங்கு
காலந்தோறும் காயமாக்குமா ஓ....ஓஹ்....ஓ....
புது வழிகள் தோன்றும்
பாதை மாறும் காயம் ஆறுமா
Love here, which gave so much pain,
Keeps wounding through time, oh...
New ways will appear,
The path will change, but will the wound ever heal?
Aa….aah…aa…aah…aa…..
Aa….aah…aa…aah…aa…..

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Pon Ondru Kanden' captures the bittersweet spectrum of romantic love, moving from the euphoric enchantment of attraction to the aching melancholy of rift and longing. The speaker describes a dreamlike world where being near the beloved makes ages feel like fleeting moments, filling the heart with sweet intoxication. However, as reality and shadows collide, the lyrical tone transitions into deeper introspection about broken love, loneliness, and past mistakes. The song concludes on a poignant note, wondering if time and new paths can truly heal deep emotional wounds and bring separated lovers back together.

Poetic devices
Adukkuthodar (Repetition for emphasis)
“Mayangi mayangi maayamaagiraen”
Duplicated words like 'Mayangi mayangi' (swooning and swooning) and 'mella mella' (slowly, slowly) intensify the emotional weight and continuous nature of the actions.
Monai (Initial Alliteration)
“Nijangal thondruthae / Nizhalum thondruthae”
The repetition of the initial 'Ni' sound across lines creates a fluid, rhythmic cadence.
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Manakkadhavu thiranthu paarthaen”
'Manakkadhavu' compares the human mind/heart to a door that opens to welcome fresh emotions.
Rhyme (Ethirai & Internal Rhyme)
“Angirunthum engirunthum”
Matching rhyming structures ('Angirunthum engirunthum' and 'Ippozhuthum eppozhuthum') enhance the musicality of the lyric.
