O eyes, O eyes, write a letter,
Your glance is love's mother tongue.
O eyes, O eyes, write a letter,
Your glance is love's mother tongue.
A festival of love’s art, a celebration of romance!
On soft lips like a red hibiscus flower,
In the sweet joy of tasting honeyed poetry...
O eyes, O eyes, write a letter,
Your glance is love's mother tongue.
A festival of love’s art, a celebration of romance!
On soft lips like a red hibiscus flower,
In the sweet joy of tasting honeyed poetry...
What is this lightning in your eyes? Is it the rainy season?
Is this skipping breeze a procession of the heart?
The breeze behaves just like a man—caressing my shoulders,
Parting my clothes and embracing my waist,
I am feeling this new thrill.
Riding upon the wind, singing a melody of love,
We will glide across the skies and discover their farthest edges.
Never pulling away, never parting,
We shall rule over a kingdom of pure joy.
A sculpture came alive and turned into glowing gold.
Touched by your hands, it turned into gold.
These water-lily cheeks long to be tenderly pinched,
The time has come to drink from an ever-overflowing bowl of nectar.
Hands that reach out to touch,
Eyes that gaze at me with longing warmth...
Mmm, mmm...
A heart that longs to gather you close
Is a bed waiting for its swan.
A sweet melody of pleasure will be unveiled,
As love is celebrated in the quiet midnight hours.
O eyes, O eyes, write a letter,
Your glance is love's mother tongue.
O eyes, O eyes, write a letter,
Your glance is love's mother tongue.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The lyrics describe their silent look as the native language of love, equating their romantic connection to a grand cultural festival of Kamadeva (the god of love) and the sweet nectar of classic poetry.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Metaphor (Uruvagam)

“Un paarvaiyae kaadhalin thaaimozhi”

Compares a lover's gaze directly to the 'mother tongue' of love, suggesting that glances are the primary language of passion.

Simile (Upamai)

“Sembaruthi poopol chinna udhattil”

Compares small red lips to a hibiscus flower using 'pool' (like).

Ethugai (Second-letter Rhyming)

“Thottu paarkkum kaigal / Enai suttu paarkkum kangal”

The second letter 't' (ட்) in 'Thottu' and 'Suttu' creates a rhythmic Tamil sound harmony.

Monai (Initial Alliteration)

“Kaadhalin kalaivizha kaamanin thiruvizha”

Repetition of the initial 'Ka' sound across words creates melodic rhythm.

Trivia

The lyrics were written by legendary poet Vaali for the 1990 Tamil movie 'Vazhkkai Chakkaram'. Vaali frequently used classical literary references—such as 'Kambarasa thaen' (referencing poet Kamban) and 'Amudha surabhi' (the mythological inexhaustible vessel of divine food)—to elevate erotic duets into refined poetic art.
