Kaattu Rani’s Kaattu Pura Onnu Lyrics Translation
The lyrics compare the couple’s bond to wind mixing with itself, an invisible but felt connection. This idea of unseen unity is followed by a direct statement. The song notes that once a man and woman give their consent, secrets between them no longer exist.
Katu Pura Onnu Jodiyai ParthuA wild pigeon, seeing its mate
Kalangudhu ThannaleIs overcome with feeling all on its own
Kalakkathai Matra Siragai VirithuTo soothe that emotion, it spreads its wings
Azhaikkudhu MunnaleAnd calls its partner forward
Kottukull Irandum Odi OlinjiInside the nest, the two of them run and hide
Konjuthu VayaleSharing sweet affections
Kulukulu Kathukku KadhakadhappagaFor warmth against the chilling breeze
Midhakkudhu KalaleThey drift in a state of bliss
Kulukulu Kathukku KadhakadhappagaFor warmth against the chilling breeze
Midhakkudhu KalaleThey drift in a state of bliss
Katu Pura Onnu Jodiyai ParthuA wild pigeon, seeing its mate
Kalangudhu ThannaleIs overcome with feeling all on its own
Katrum Katrum Kalandhu MagizhvadhuThe way the wind delights in mixing with itself
Kannukku TheriyadhuIs something the eyes can’t see
Kanavanai Thavira Veroru UlagamBeyond her husband, another world

The duet uses the initial image of two pigeons to introduce a conversation about absolute trust. It moves from observing nature to defining the terms of a committed human relationship. The song presents love as an endless ocean, a journey of shared discovery with no hidden parts.
