Kannukkul nooru nilava idhu oru kanava
Are there a hundred moons inside my eyes, or is this all a dream?
Kaikuttai kaadhal kaditham ezhuthiya urava
A bond that wrote a love letter on a handkerchief
Kannukkul nooru nilava idhu oru kanava
Are there a hundred moons within my eyes, is this a dream?
Kaikuttai kaadhal kadidham ezhuthiya urava
A relationship that penned love softly on a handkerchief
Naanam vidavillai thodavillai
Shyness hasn’t left me, I haven’t dared to touch
Yeno vidai innum varavillai
Somehow, the answer hasn’t arrived yet
Aiyar vanthu sollum thedhiyil thaan vaarthai varuma
Will words come only on the date the priest announces?
Aiyar vandhu sollum thedhiyil thaan vaarthai varuma
Will the truth be spoken only on the priest’s chosen day?
Guru brahma guru vishnu
The guru is Brahma, the guru is Vishnu
Guru devo maheshwaraha
The guru himself is Maheshwara
Guru sakshaath para brahma
The guru is the supreme Brahman incarnate
Thasmai sree guravae namaha
Salutations to that revered guru
Ommm sahana bhavathu
Om, may we be protected together
Ommm sahana bhavathu
Om, may we be nurtured together
Sahanau bhunakthu
May we enjoy learning together
Sahanau bhunakthu
May we grow together
Saha veeryam karavavahai
May we gain strength together
Saha veeryam karavavahai
May our efforts be united
Kannukkul nooru nilava idhu oru kanava
Are there a hundred moons in my eyes, or is this a dream?
Kaikuttai kaadhal kaditham ezhuthiya urava
A tender bond that wrote love on a handkerchief
Kannukkul nooru nilava idhu oru kanava
Are there countless moons in my eyes, is this an illusion?
Kaikuttai kaadhal kadidham ezhuthiya urava
A relationship stitched together by a love letter
Naanam vidavillai thodavillai
My shyness hasn’t faded, I haven’t crossed the line
Yeno vidai innum varavillai
Still, the answer refuses to come
Aiyar vanthu sollum thedhiyil thaan vaarthai varuma
Will words be spoken only on the priest’s announced day?
Aiyar vandhu sollum thedhiyil thaan vaarthai varuma
Will love be named only on that chosen date?
Kannukkul nooru nilava idhu oru kanava
Are there a hundred moons in my eyes, or is it a dream?
Kaikuttai kaadhal kaditham ezhuthiya urava
A silent love written softly on cloth
Ambha sambhavi chandramouli rabhala
O divine mother, consort of the moon-crested lord
Aparna uma parvathi
You are Aparna, Uma, Parvati
Kaali haimavathi shiva thrinayanaa
Kali, daughter of the Himalayas, beloved of three-eyed Shiva
Kaathyayani bhairavi
You are Katyayani, fierce Bhairavi
Savithri navayowvana subhaghari
Savitri, the eternal youthful giver of blessings
Saam rajya lakshmi pradha
Bestower of prosperity and divine grace
Thendral thottadhum mottu vedithaal
If a bud blooms at the touch of a breeze
Kodigal enna kutram solluma
Can vines be blamed for it?
Kollai thulasi ellai kadanthaal
If sacred basil grows beyond boundaries
Vedham sonna sattangal vittuviduma
Will the rules spoken by scriptures be broken?
Vaanukku ellai yaar pottathu
Who set boundaries for the sky?
Vaazhkaikku ellai naam pottadhu
We are the ones who set limits for life
Saathiram thaandi thappi selvathedhu
What is wrong in crossing rules for love?
Kannukkul nooru nilava idhu oru kanava
Are there a hundred moons in my eyes, or is this a dream?
Kaikuttai kaadhal kaditham ezhuthiya urava
A bond shaped by a love letter
Poove… pen poove…
O flower… O woman-flower…
Idhil enna adhisayam ilamaiyin avasiyam
What’s so strange here? It’s youth’s natural need
Idhu enna ragasiyam ivan manam puriyalaya…
What secret is this, can’t you understand his heart?
Aanin thavippu adangi vidum
A man’s longing eventually settles
Pennin thavippu thodarnthu vidum
A woman’s longing continues
Ullam enbathu ullavaraikkum
As long as there is a heart
Inba thunbam ellaamae iruvarukkum
Joy and pain belong to both
Ennullae yedho undaanathu
Something happened deep within me
Pen ullam indru rendaanathu
A woman’s heart has split into two today
Renda ? yedhu ? ondru patta podhu…
Two? Which two? When they finally become one…
Kannukkul nooru nilava idhu oru kanava
Are there a hundred moons in my eyes, or is it a dream?
Kaikuttai kaadhal kaditham ezhuthiya urava
A love written softly, silently
Naanam vidavillai thodavillai
Shyness hasn’t left, I haven’t touched
Yeno vidai innum varavillai
The answer still hasn’t come
Aiyar vanthu sollum thedhiyil thaan varthai varuma
Will words come only on the priest’s chosen day?
Aiyar vanthu sollum thedhiyil thaan varthai varuma
Will love be spoken only then?
Kannukkul nooru nilava idhu oru kanava
Are there a hundred moons in my eyes, or is this a dream?
Kaikuttai kaadhal kaditham ezhuthiya urava….
A bond that wrote love quietly… forever.
