காதல் இது போதும் இனி
ஏதும் கைக் கூடும் இனி
This love is enough now
Everything will fall into place now
வாடகையில் கூடு ஒண்ணு....
சொந்தத்துல வானம் ஒண்ணு
வேறென்ன வேணும் கண்ணு
A single nest on rent..
An entire sky of our own
What else do we need, my sweet?
ஜன்னல் தொறந்தா
விசிறி ஓடும்....
நிலவு இருந்தா
வெளிச்சம் கூடும்
நீயும் இருந்தா
சொர்கம்தான் வீடும்
If the window opens
The hand-fan flees away..
If the moon is present
The light increases
If you are present
Home itself becomes heaven
ஊரு விட்டு ஊரு வந்து
வேற ஒண்ணு வேரு வைக்கப் போறேம்
வைக்கப் போறேம்
காலம் இனி மாறும்
Leaving our town and coming to another
We are going to take root in a new soil
Going to take root
Times will change from now on
கையில் ஒத்தக் காசும் இல்ல
ஊரு விட்டா சொந்தம் இல்ல
காதல் இது போதும்
வேணா வேறேதும்.....ம்ம்ம்
Not even a single coin in hand
No relatives once we leave our town
This love alone is enough
Don't need anything else... mmm
அன்பில் நிறஞ்சோமே இதை
கண்ணில் புது காதல் கனா
A heart where desires bloom daily
A garden blooming with requested blessings
ஆசை தினம் பூக்கும் மனம்
கேட்கும் வரம் பூக்கும் வனம்
Is it a flower string?
You spread your wings in the sky
You gently embraced and snatched my heart
பூ நாரையா
நீ வானில் ரெக்க விரிச்சாயே
லேசாக நெஞ்ச கவ்வி பறிச்சாயே....ஏ.....
Oh my sky.. ae..
As a light drizzle falls continuously
Coming into my heart every day
Come inside and get trapped
My heart is a dead-end street
என் வானமே...ஏ....
தூரல் ஒண்ணு சிந்த சிந்த
என் மனசில் நாணம் வந்து
உள்ள வந்து மாட்டிக்கிட
என் மனசு முட்டுச் சந்து
Like a beetle trapped inside honey
I got trapped inside your heart
I have no intention of coming out....
தேனுக்குள்ள வண்ட போல
மாட்டிக்கிட்டேன் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள
வெளிய வர எண்ணம் இல்ல
Is it just a house? No, this is a home
Where is the boundary for this bliss...
வீடா இல்ல இல்லம் இது
இனபம் அதுக்கெல்லை ஏது....
Like a flowerpot, you brought me
Into this house
Love like nourishing water alone
You gave to me.. ae..
பூ ஜாடியா எனை
வீட்டில் கொண்டு வந்தாயே
நீராக காதல் மட்டும்
தந்தாயே....ஏ.....
Blooming flowers... aa..
பூ பூக்குற.......ஆஅ....
Planting a kiss plant
Asking it to bloom all at once
And issuing an order
Is truly not fair
முத்த செடி நட்டு வச்சு
மொத்தமாக பூக்கச் சொல்லி
உத்தரவு போடுறது
சத்தியமா நியாயம் இல்ல
A single nest on rent..
An entire sky of our own
What else do we need, my sweet?
வாடகையில் கூடு ஒண்ணு
சொந்தத்துல வானம் ஒண்ணு
வேறென்ன வேணும் கண்ணு
If the window opens
The hand-fan flees away..
If the moon is present
The light increases
If you are present
Home itself becomes heaven
ஜன்னல் தொறந்தா
விசிறி ஓடும்.....
நிலவு இருந்தா
வெளிச்சம் கூடும்
நீயும் இருந்தா
சொர்கம்தான் வீடும்.....
Leaving our town and coming to another
We are going to take root in a new soil
Going to take root
Times will change from now on
ஊரு விட்டு ஊரு வந்து
வேற ஒண்ணு வேரு வைக்கப் போறேம்
வைக்கப் போறேம்
காலம் இனி மாறும்
Not even a single coin in hand
No relatives once we leave our town
This love alone is enough
Don't need anything else... mmm
கையில் ஒத்தக் காசும் இல்லை
ஊரு விட்டா சொந்தம் இல்லை
காதல் இது போதும்
வேணா வேறேதும்.....ம்ம்ம்
This love is enough now
Everything will fall into place now
காதல் இது போதும் இனி
ஏதும் கைக் கூடும் இனி
வாடகையில் கூடு ஒண்ணு
சொந்தத்துல வானம் ஒண்ணு
வேறென்ன வேணும் கண்ணு
Kaadhal ithu pothum ini
This love is enough now
Yethum kai koodum ini
Everything will fall into place now
Vaadagaiyil koodu onnu..
A single nest on rent..
Sonthathula vaanam onnu
An entire sky of our own
Verenna venum kannu
What else do we need, my sweet?
Jannal thorantha
If the window opens
Visiri oodum..
The hand-fan flees away..
Nilavu iruntha
If the moon is present
Velicham koodum
The light increases
Neeyum iruntha

This love alone is enough
Venaam verethum…mmm
Don't need anything else... mmm

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Kaadhal Ithu Pothum is a soothing, optimistic romantic song from the film Nalanum Nandhiniyum. The song articulates the feelings of a newlywed couple who have left their native town to start a new life together in a new city. Despite having no money or relatives nearby, they find complete contentment and strength in their mutual affection, viewing their simple rented room as a heavenly sanctuary.
