என் அன்பே காதலே
எந்நாளும் மாறாதே
காயம் தந்த காதலே
காயமது மாறாதே
My beloved love,
It will never change.
The love that inflicted wounds,
Those wounds will never change.
முடிந்த கதைகள் கேட்ட பின்பும்
உன்னை உள்ளம் வேண்டுதே
உன் கைகள் தந்த வெப்பம்
காய்ச்சலாக மாறுதே
Even after hearing stories that have ended,
My heart still desires you.
The warmth given by your hands,
Is turning into a fever.
காதல் ஒரு கண்ணாடியாய்
இறுதியில் உடைந்து போகுதே
காதல் ஒரு காத்தாடியாய்
தூர விலகிப் போகுதே
Love, like a glass mirror,
Shatters in the end.
Love, like a kite,
Drifts far away.
காதல் ஒரு நிலவொளியாய்
சிறு பொழுதில் போகுதே
காதல் ஒரு நீர் வீழ்ச்சியாய்
கண்ணீரும் அருவியாய் ஆகுதே
Love, like moonlight,
Fades in a short moment.
Love, like a waterfall,
Turns tears into a flowing stream.
வலி கூடுதே உயிர் போகுதே
வலி கூடுதே உயிர் போகுதே
போகுதே போகுதே போகுதே
போகுதே போகுதே போகுதே
போகுதே போகுதே
Pain increases, life slips away,
Pain increases, life slips away.
It fades, it fades, it fades,
It fades, it fades, it fades,
It fades, it fades.
கண்களால் கானல் நீரை
பார்ப்பதும் பார்வையாலே
கண்ணத்தில் வீழும் நீரை
ஏற்பதும் காதலாலே
Seeing a mirage with the eyes,
Just by looking at it,
The tears falling on the cheek,
Are endured only because of love.
கண்கள் காதல் நிறைந்து
உருகுதே பிரிவாலே
கண்ணத்தில் ஓய்ந்த முத்தம்
காய்ந்ததே நினைவாலே
Eyes filled with love,
Melt due to separation.
The kiss resting on the cheek,
Has dried up into mere memories.
நீ தூரம் போகையில்
என் உயிரும் விலகுதடி
என் உயிரை தேடையில்
நீ இங்கு இல்லையடி
When you go far away,
My life slips away too, my dear.
When searching for my life,
You are not here, my dear.
காதல் ஒரு நிலவொளியாய்
சிறு பொழுதில் போகுதே
காதல் ஒரு நீர் வீழ்ச்சியாய்
கண்ணீரும் அருவியாய் ஆகுதே
Love, like moonlight,
Fades in a short moment.
Love, like a waterfall,
Turns tears into a flowing stream.
உன் விரல் இடையே
ஒரு விரல் வருடும்
உன் இதழ் இடையே
ஒரு மீசை வருடும்
Between your fingers,
A finger caresses.
Between your lips,
A mustache caresses.
உன் கைகள் உள்ளே
ஒரு உடல் தழுவும்
அவை யாவும் எனதில்லை என்றால்
உன் மனம் ஏற்குமா
அன்பே அன்பே அன்பே
அன்பே அன்பே அன்பே
Inside your hands,
A body embraces.
If all of that isn't mine,
Will your heart accept it?
My love, my love, my love, my love...
நீ இருக்கும் இந்த இடத்தில்
வேறொருவன் இருந்தால்
என் மனம் தாங்காதடா
உடல் ஏற்காதடா
உன் உயிர் இருக்காதடா
உன் உயிர் இருக்காதடா
காதலா காதலா காதலா
In this place where you reside,
If another man stands,
My heart cannot bear it,
My body will not accept it,
My life will cease to exist,
My life will cease to exist.
Oh lover, oh lover,
காதல் ஒரு கண்ணாடியாய்
இறுதியில் உடைந்து போகுதே
காதல் ஒரு காத்தாடியாய்
தூர விலகிப் போகுதே
Love, like a glass mirror,
Shatters in the end.
Love, like a kite,
Drifts far away.
காதல் ஒரு நிலவொளியாய்
சிறு பொழுதில் போகுதே
காதல் ஒரு நீர் வீழ்ச்சியாய்
கண்ணீரும் அருவியாய் ஆகுதே
Love, like moonlight,
Fades in a short moment.
Love, like a waterfall,
Turns tears into a flowing stream.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song portrays the excruciating heartbreak and lingering grief that follows a painful breakup. The lyrics vividly describe how romantic memories, once warm and comforting, distort into a emotional fever. Love is depicted as fragile and transient—like a mirror that shatters, a kite drifting out of reach, short-lived moonlight, and a waterfall that transforms into endless tears.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Simile (Uvamai Ani)
“Kaadhal oru kannadiyaai”
Love is directly compared to a mirror ('kannadiyaai') that inevitably shatters at the end.
Metaphor (Uruvagak Ani)
“Kaneerum aruviyaai aagudhae”
The speaker's tears are poetically metaphorized as a cascading waterfall ('aruviyaai').
Anaphora / Repetition (Adukku Thodar)
“Pogudhae pogudhae pogudhae”
The word 'Pogudhae' (it goes/slips away) is repeated consecutively to emphasize the slipping away of life and love.
Ethugai (Second-letter Rhyme)
“Kangalaal kaanal nerai / Kannathil vilum neerai”
The second consonant sound 'n/ng' aligns across these lines, creating a rhythmic Tamil poetic structure.
