யாரது யாரது
கனவிலே வந்து போனது
நீயுமே எனதானதால்
மாற்றங்கள் வந்து
போனது
Who is that, who is that?
The one who came and went in my dream?
Because you became mine,
Changes have come and gone.
எனது போர்வையில்
உனது வாசனை அருகிலே
இனி நீயடா
In my blanket,
Your fragrance lingers.
You are nearby now, my dear,
இதயமே தடுமாறுதே
முழு நிலவை போலே தேயுதே
காதல் மழையினில் சேர்ந்து
நனைந்திட கவிதை ஊறியதே
My heart stumbles.
It wanes like a full moon.
In the rain of love,
To get drenched together,
Poetry seeped through.
யாரது யாரது
கனவிலே வந்து போனது
நீயுமே எனதானதால்
மாற்றங்கள் வந்து
போனது
Who is that, who is that?
The one who came and went in my dream?
Because you became mine,
Changes have come and gone.
காதலே நீ காதலா
இல்லை கடவுளா என
பார்க்கிறேன்
காதலே இங்கு நீ
என எந்நேரமும் உன்னை
பார்க்கிறேன்
Oh love, are you love,
Or are you God? I wonder as I watch.
Female: Saying that you are love here,
I look at you all the time.
கனவே கனவே
போதுமே இது போதுமே
அருகிலே நீ வேண்டுமே
இனி வேண்டுமே
Oh dream, oh dream, it is enough!
This is enough.
I want you near me, I want you now.
எனை ஏனோ
உன்னில் தேட உன்னை
ஏனோ என்னில் தேட ஏன்
இந்த புது வித பூகம்பம்
Why do I search for myself in you?
Why do I search for you in myself?
Why this new kind of emotional earthquake?
யாரது யாரது
கனவிலே வந்து போனது
நீயுமே எனதானதால்
மாற்றங்கள் வந்து போனது
Who is that, who is that?
The one who came and went in my dream?
Because you became mine,
Changes have come and gone.
காற்றிலே ஒரு
பூவை போல விழுகிறேன்
உன் மடியிலே
விழுகையில்
உன்னை தாங்கி பிடித்து
சாய்கிறேன் உன் தோளிலே
Like a flower drifting in the wind,
I fall into your lap.
Male: As you fall, I hold and catch you,
And lean on your shoulder.
கனவுகள் நிஜமானதே
நிஜமானதே கதைகளும்
கொஞ்சம் பேசுதே கொஞ்சி
பேசுதே
Dreams have come true,
They have come true.
Even stories speak a little,
Speaking affectionately.
இமையோரம்
நீரும் நீயே இமைக்கின்ற
கண்கள் நீயே இதய
துடிப்பும் நீயடி
You are the tear drop at the corner of my eye,
You are the blinking eyes,
You are my heartbeat itself, my girl.
யாரது யாரது
கனவிலே வந்து போனது
நீயுமே எனதானதால்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Yaaradhu Yaaradhu' from the movie 'Kalari' is an intimate romantic duet that expresses the surreal and transformative feeling of falling deeply in love. The lovers reflect on how their world has changed ever since their dreams manifested into reality. They share quiet moments of romance, noticing subtle details like a partner's scent on a blanket or the feeling of leaning on each other's shoulders. As the song progresses, the lyricist highlights the complete intertwining of their souls. They express wonder at whether love itself is divine and describe how they search for pieces of themselves in one another. Ultimately, the beloved is elevated from a dreamlike figure to an essential part of existence—equated directly to the eyes, the tears, and the very heartbeat of life.
