Idhayathai Kaanavillai

Vaanil irundhu vaanavil ondru Mannil irangi vandhadhuvo
Mangai avalathu mandhira kangal Chandhira sooriyan aanadhuvo
Kanden azhaghiya kolusu kolusu Thirugani aanadhu manasu manasu
Innaal anubavam pudusu pudusu Aval paadhakolusoli ketkum podhu
Idhayathai kaanavillai Adhu tholaindhum naan thedavillai
Sittukuruviyin siragu vaangi Ada parakanum pola irukku
Vettukiliyin kaalgal vaangi Ada gudhikanum pola iruku
Kodi jenmam vazhndhen innaalae Idhu unmai thaanae
Idhayathai kaanavillai Adhu tholaindhum naan thedavillai
Pournami nilavai Miga aruginil paarthen
Paravasa kadalil Naan padagaai aanen
Devadhai kannil Iru thoondilai paarthen
Maattiya meenaai Naan aanen aanen
Pallavan oligal koodi Sedhukiya silai thaana
Brahman silayai paarthu Jeevanai koduthaana
Theendamal thirudachonnana Ennai indru
Idhayathai kaanavillai Adhu tholaindhum naan thedavillai
Oru mile thooram Idhu
Kaadhalbkaditham Avaluku ezhudhi Naan anjal seithen
Iniaval mutham Adhai semithu vaithu

Sorgathil ennai pooti Saaviyai tholaithaalae
Pookalin thottilil pottu Laaligal padithaalae
Paarai meedhu poovai poothalae Ennil indru
Idhayathai kaanavillai Adhu tholaindhum naan thedavillai
Sittukuruviyin siragu vaangi Ada parakanum pola irukku
Vettukiliyin kaalgal vaangi Ada gudhikanum pola iruku
Kodi jenmam vazhndhen innaalae Idhu unmai thaanae
Idhayathai kaanavillai Adhu tholaindhum naan thedavillai

Idhayathai Kaanavillai

From the sky came a rainbow, did it descend to the earth
O lady, the eyes of that rainbow, oh moon and sun, are they happy
I saw a beautiful anklet, oh my heart is so happy
This feeling is new, when I listen to your anklets
I cannot see my heart, but I will not search for it
Like flying with the wings of a parrot, it seems
Like dancing with the legs of a peacock, it seems
I have lived for a hundred births, this is true today
I cannot see my heart, but I will not search for it
I saw the full moon, very close
In the ocean of ecstasy, I became a boat
In your bright eyes, I saw two drops of honey
I became a fish, I became a fish
The stone carved by the Pallavas, the enticing statue
Seeing the stone of the Brahmins, I gave my life
Today, you gave me the sacred ash, without hesitation
I cannot see my heart, but I will not search for it
One mile away, it is
I wrote a love letter to you, I folded my hands in prayer
Your sweet lips, I placed a kiss there
Throughout my body, I heard a roar
If you throw me into heaven and take away my breath
If you put me in a cradle of flowers and make the birds sing
If flowers bloom on the earth
I cannot see my heart, but I will not search for it
Like flying with the wings of a parrot, it seems
Like dancing with the legs of a peacock, it seems
I have lived for a hundred births, this is true today
I cannot see my heart, but I will not search for it
