Kaattu Rani’s Ottraiyadi Paadhaiyile Lyrics Translation

She explains that she swam in a “pool of love’s wine” and the resulting daze has not cleared. He responds by telling her that a time for understanding will come if she is patient. This exchange shows her innocent confusion and his gentle wisdom.

Ottraiyadi PadhaiyileOn a single, narrow path
Oruthi Manam BodhaiyileA woman’s heart is in a trance
Pettra Sugam TheeravillaiThe bliss I felt still hasn’t faded
Pedhai Manam AravillaiThis innocent heart isn’t at peace
Aravillai Un ManadhuYour heart hasn’t found its calm
Adangavillai En ManadhuAnd my heart can’t be tamed
Podhavillai Indha MadhuThis wine is not enough
Pogavillai Kadhal MadhuAnd the wine of love won’t go away
Kadhal Madhu KulathinileIn the pool of love’s wine
Kal Eduthu Neendhi VandhenI stepped in and began to swim
Kalai Varai Neendhi VittenI swam all the way until morning
Kalakkam Innum TheeravillaiAnd this daze still hasn’t cleared
Kadhalukku Oru ManadhuA heart meant only for love
Kal Eduthu Neendhi VandhenI stepped in and began to swim
Kalai Varai Neendhi VittenI swam all the way until morning
Kalakkam Innum TheeravillaiAnd this daze still hasn’t cleared
Aravillai Un ManadhuYour heart hasn’t found its calm
Adangavillai En ManadhuAnd my heart can’t be tamed
Eppadiyoo Nan IrundhenSomehow, I was living my life
Ilangodiyai VazhnthiruppenI would have lived as a tender vine
Apapdi Nee Enna ThandhaiWhat is this you have given me?
Ammamma PuriyavillaiOh my, I just don’t understand
Purivadharkkum Kalam VarumA time for understanding will come
Poruthirundhal Neram VarumIf you’re patient, the moment will arrive
Anubhavathin SayalileIn the shadow of this experience
Avvalavum Therindhu VidumYou will come to know everything

Oruthi Manam BodhaiyileA woman’s heart is in a trance
Pettra Sugam TheeravillaiThe bliss I felt still hasn’t faded
Pedhai Manam AravillaiThis innocent heart isn’t at peace
Aravillai Un ManadhuYour heart hasn’t found its calm
Adangavillai En ManadhuAnd my heart can’t be tamed
