வா வா இதயமே
என் ஆகாயமே
உன்னை நாளும் பிரியுமோ
இப்பூ மேகமே
கடல் கூட வற்றி போகும்
கங்கை ஆறும் பாதை மாறும்
இந்த ராகம் என்றும் மாறுமோ
வா வா இதயமே என் ஆகாயமே
Come, come, my heart!
My sky!
Will it ever separate from you,
This flower-like cloud?
Even the sea may dry up,
Even the Ganges river may change its course,
Will this melody ever change?
Come, come, my heart, my sky!
தேவலோக பாரிஜாதம்
மண்ணில் வீழ்தல் என்ன ஞாயம்
எந்தன் பாதம் முள்ளில் போகும்
மங்கை உந்தன் கால்கள் நோகும்
வான வீதியில் நீயும் தாரகை
நீரில் ஆடும் நான் காயும் தாமரை
காதல் ஒன்றே ஜீவனென்றால்
தியாகம் உந்தன் வாழ்க்கை என்றால்
ஏழை வாசல் தேடி வா
A celestial Parijatha flower of the heavens,
Is it fair for it to fall onto the earth?
My feet walk on thorns,
O maiden, your feet will ache!
You are a star in the pathway of the sky,
I am a dried lotus dancing in the water.
You said love alone is life,
If sacrifice is your life,
Seek the poor man's doorstep and come!
வா வா இதயமே
என் ஆகாயமே
உன்னை நாளும் வாழ்த்துமே
இப்பூ மேகமே
Come, come, my heart!
My sky!
Will praise you every day,
This flower-like cloud!
வான வில்லும் வண்ணம் மாறும்
வெள்ளி வேரும் சாய்ந்து போகும்
திங்கள் கூட தேய்ந்து போகும்
உண்மை காதல் என்றும் வாழும்
காற்று வீசினால் பூக்கள் சாயலாம்
காதல் மாளிகை சாய்ந்து போகுமோ
ராமன் பின்னே மங்கை சீதை
எந்தன் வாழ்வோ உந்தன் பாதை
காதல் மாலை சூட வா
Even the rainbow changes its colors,
Even the silver peak may collapse,
Even the moon wanes away,
But true love lives forever!
If the wind blows, flowers may bend,
Will the palace of love ever collapse?
Lady Sita followed Lord Rama,
My life is the path you walk!
Come to wear the garland of love!
வா வா இதயமே
என் ஆகாயமே
உன்னை நாளும் பிரியுமோ
இப்பூ மேகமே
Come, come, my heart!
My sky!
Female: Will it ever separate from you,
This flower-like cloud?
கடல் கூட வற்றி போகும்
கங்கை ஆறும் பாதை மாறும்
இந்த ராகம் என்றும் மாறுமோ
இருவர் :
வா வா இதயமே என் ஆகாயமே
Even the sea may dry up,
Female: Even the Ganges river may change its course,
Male: Will this melody ever change?
Both: Come, come, my heart, my sky!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Vaa Vaa Idhayame' is a soulful romantic duet that explores the eternity, selflessness, and depth of true love. The lovers address each other through grand cosmic metaphors—referring to one another as the sky, a celestial flower, and a guiding star—while reflecting on the beauty of their eternal bond. They express that while natural phenomena like rivers, seas, and the moon may change, wane, or dry up, their emotional harmony and love will remain forever unshaken.
