Oru Paadhi Kadhavu

Nee enbadhey naan thaanadi
nan enbadhey naam thaandai..
'you' means me only
'me' means us only

Oru paadhi kadhavu neeyadi
maru paadhi kadhavu naanadi
you are one half of the door, I am the other half of the door
paarthukonde pirindhirundhom
serthu vaika kathirundhom
After seeing each other we were separated, and were waiting to be reunited 

Oru paadhi kadhavu neeyada
maru paadhi kadhvu naanada
you are one half of the door, I am the other half of the door
thaazh thirandhe kaathirundhom
kaatru veesa paarthirundhom
we were waiting to be opened, we were expecting the wind's breeze 

Nee enbadhey naan thaanadi
nan enbadhey naam thaandai..

Oru paadhi kadhavu neeyadi
maru paadhi kadhavu naanadi

Iruvu varum thiruttu bayam
kadhavugalai serthuvidum
At the fear of trouble when dark approaches, we close the doors
Oh kadhavugali thirudi vidum
adhisayathai kaadhil seiyum
Oh the doors will open, love causes wonders 

Irandum kaikorthu serndhadhu
idayil poi pootu ponadhu
The two are joined holding hands, and locked at the hearts
Vaasal thallaadudhe
thindaadudhe kondaadudhe
The treshold wavers, trembles, celebrates 

Oru paadhi kadhavu neeyadi
maru paadhi kadhavu naanadi

Idi idithum mazhai adithum
asayamal nindrirundhom
Even though the thunder struck and rain hit, we stood without moving
Indreno nam moochin
men kaatril ninaidhuvittom
From here on out we let our breathe out into the wind

Idhayam onraagi ponadhe
kadhave illaamal aanadhe
the hearts have become one and without doors
Inimel nam veetile
poongaatru thaan dhinam veesume
Hereafter in our house, the flowery breeze will blow 

Oru paadhi kadhavu neeyadi
maru paadhi kadhavu naanadi
paarthukonde pirindhirundhom
serthu vaika kathirunthom

Oru paadhi kadhavu neeyadi
maru paadhi kadhavu naanadi
paarthukonde pirindhirundhom
serthu vaika kathirundhom

Oru paadhi kadhavu neeyada
maru paadhi kadhvu naanada
thaazh thirandhe kaathirundhom
kaatru veesa paarthirundhom

Nee enbadhey naan thaanadi
nan enbadhey naam thaandai..
