என் நெஞ்சம்
சிதறுது என் கண்கள்
பதறுது காத்தாடி போலே
ஆனேனே
My heart scatters in excitement
My eyes tremble in anticipation
I became like a soaring kite
என் காதல்
தேவதை தன் நெஞ்சை
தந்தது காற்றாகி மேலே
போனேனே
My angel of love
Gave her heart to me
I turned into wind and floated high
காதல் ஒரு
அழகிய கவிதை
அடடா அதை
சொல்லிவிட்டாள்
கடலில் ஒரு மழைத்துளி
போலே உனக்குள் வந்து
கலந்துவிட்டாளே
Love is a beautiful poem
Ah, once it is expressed
Like a drop of rain falling into the ocean
If she comes and merges inside you...
விழிகளிலே
வந்து கலந்துவிட்டாள்
வாழ்க்கை எல்லாம்
உந்தன் பின்னாலே
உயிரினிலே வந்து
நிறைந்துவிட்டாள்
உனை ஜெய்ப்பேன்
எந்தன் அன்பாலே
If she merges into your eyes
Your whole life follows behind you
If she comes and fills your soul
I will win you over with my love
வேருக்குத்
தெரியாமல் பூக்கள்
மலரும் விந்தையை
உன்னால் இன்று நான்
அறிந்தேன் வண்ணத்துப்
பூச்சி ஒன்றை கையில்
பிடித்தேன் தருதே
நெஞ்சில் வண்ணம்
Flowers bloom without the roots ever knowing
Because of you, I learned of this wonder today
I caught a butterfly in my hand
It paints... colors upon my heart
என் நெஞ்சம்
சிதறுது என் கண்கள்
பதறுது காத்தாடி போலே
ஆனேனே
My heart scatters in excitement
My eyes tremble in anticipation
I became like a soaring kite
என் காதல்
தேவதை தன் நெஞ்சை
தந்தது காற்றாகி மேலே
போனேனே
My angel of love
Gave her heart to me
I turned into wind and floated high
நிலா முகம்
அதை மூடிடும் திரை
என நானும் மாறவா
உன்னை தொடும் நிமிடம்
அன்பே நான் வாழும் தருணம்
இதயம் ரெண்டு இணைந்திட
தானே மதங்கள் எல்லாம்
இங்கு தடை இல்லையே
To veil her moon-like face
Shall I transform into that veil myself?
The moment I touch you
My love, that is the moment I truly live
Just to unite two hearts
Religions pose no barrier here
என் நெஞ்சம்
சிதறுது என் கண்கள்
பதறுது காத்தாடி போலே
ஆனேனே
My heart scatters in excitement
My eyes tremble in anticipation
I became like a soaring kite
என் காதல்
தேவதை தன் நெஞ்சை
தந்தது காற்றாகி மேலே
போனேனே
My angel of love
Gave her heart to me
I turned into wind and floated high
உன்னை என்னை
இந்த பூமியில் படைத்ததே
நாம் வாழத்தான் உனக்கென
இருப்பேன் நீ இன்றி எங்கே
இருப்பேன்
You and me on this earth
Were created for us to live together
I will exist only for you
Without you, where would I even be?
இதுவரை நான்
வாழ்ந்ததை மறந்தேன்
காதல் சொன்னாய் அடி
மீண்டும் பிறந்தேன்
Until now, I
Forgot the life I lived before
Girl, once you spoke of love
I was born all over again
என் நெஞ்சம்
சிதறுது என் கண்கள்
பதறுது காத்தாடி போலே
ஆனேனே
My heart scatters in excitement
My eyes tremble in anticipation
I became like a soaring kite
என் காதல்
தேவதை தன் நெஞ்சை
தந்தது காற்றாகி மேலே
போனேனே
My angel of love
Gave her heart to me
I turned into wind and floated high
விழிகளிலே
வந்து கலந்துவிட்டாள்
வாழ்க்கை எல்லாம்
உந்தன் பின்னாலே
உயிரினிலே வந்து
நிறைந்துவிட்டாள்
உனை ஜெய்ப்பேன்
எந்தன் அன்பாலே
If she merges into your eyes
Your whole life follows behind you
If she comes and fills your soul
I will win you over with my love

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses the boundless joy, euphoria, and emotional rebirth experienced by a young man upon falling in love. He feels lighthearted and weightless, comparing his emotional state to a kite soaring in the wind or a raindrop joining the vast ocean. Love is celebrated as a transformative wonder that breathes vibrant color into his world, making his past life seem irrelevant compared to this newly discovered bliss. The lyrics also touch upon the narrative backdrop of the film, which deals with an interfaith romance. The protagonist asserts that when two hearts truly connect, religious and societal boundaries vanish. Through evocative imagery of nature—blooming flowers, butterflies, and moonlit veils—the song underscores love's quiet yet unstoppable power to redefine one's existence.
