It is melting, it is melting
The frozen ice is melting
I myself, in a single night
Became a river in the dark night
Flowers along the path are immersed in water
உருகுது உருகுது
உறைபனி உருகுது
நானே ஓர் இரவில்
நதியானேன் காரிருளில்
வழி எங்கிலும் பூக்கள் நீரில்
It is distressed, it is distressed
The sweet fragrance is yearning
I know not why, in my case
I dissolved in the milky moonlight
Every coming day burns in fire

Male: In the coming days, the flowers of the heart
Will bloom for you, will bloom
மருகுது மருகுது
மடமனம் மருகுது
ஏனோ என் வரையில்
கரையானேன் பால் நிலவில்
வரும் ஒவ்வொரு நாளும் தீயில்
[Humming]
அலாதி சுகம்
அது என்ன ரகம்
அதாக வரும்
அது என்னை சுடும்
I relish the sound of your words
I blossom under the gaze of your eyes
The time of being a guest is over
I view you now as a member of this home
வரும் நாட்கள் மனப் பூக்கள்
உனக்காக பூக்கும் பூக்கும்
For you to be cheerful
Oh, just to hear you laugh
Whatever price needs to be paid
I am ready to pay it
யஹ் யஹ் யஹ்

Because of the sun that dispels the darkness

Only after seeing you, did I let my guard down
I was a dry fallen leaf, but I became a prized fan

[Humming]
நிறைய பேச நினைக்குறேன்
குறைய பேசி முடிக்குறேன்
இடைப்பட்ட நேரம் உன்னை
பார்த்துக்கொண்டே நிற்கிறேன்
It is melting, it is melting
The frozen ice is melting
I myself, in a single night
Became a river in the dark night
Flowers along the path are immersed in water
உனது பேச்சை ரசிக்கிறேன்
ஹ்ம்ம்
விழியின் வீச்சை தெளிக்கிறேன்
ஹ்ம்ம்
விருந்தோம்பல் காலம் தீர்ந்து
வீட்டின் ஆளாய் பார்க்கிறேன்
It is melting, it is melting
The frozen ice is melting
I myself, in a single night
Became a river in the dark night
Flowers along the path
Female: Are in water
நீ கலகலப்பாக ஓ சிரிப்பதற்காக
என்ன விலை தர வேண்டும் என்றாலும் நான் தர போகிறேன்
இருள் விலகிடும் சூரியனாலே
முகம் மலர்ந்திடும் தாமரை ஆனேன்
எதைப் பார்த்தும் யாரை பார்த்தும்
நெருங்கா நான்
உனை பார்த்த பின்புதானே தளர்வானேன்
சருகாய் இருந்தேன் சாமரம் ஆனேன்
யஹ் யஹ் யஹ்
யஹ் யஹ் யஹ்
யஹ் யஹ் யஹ்
யஹ் யஹ் யஹ்
உருகுது உருகுது
உறைபனி உருகுது
நானே ஓர் இரவில்
நதியானேன் காரிருரில்
வழி எங்கிலும் பூக்கள் நீரில்
உருகுது உருகுது
உறைபனி உருகுது
நானே ஓர் இரவில்
நதியானேன் காரிருரில்
வழி எங்கிலும் பூக்கள்
நீரில்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poetic romantic track captures the transformative power of love and intimacy. The song uses vivid natural imagery like melting ice, rivers flowing through dark nights, and lotus blooming under the morning sun to depict how an emotionally guarded person softens and blossoms when love enters their life. The protagonists share a deep realization of warmth, moving away from being distant strangers to cherishing each other as an integral part of their lives.
