About the song, Ennavale adi ennavaley.
The song “Ennavale Adi Ennavaley” from the Tamil movie Kadhalan (1994) is an A. R. Rahman musical, written by Vaali and sung by Unnikrishnan and Sujatha Mohan. I present that as a tribute to the song and as it is in the small hut named heaven; as it is in Caseta Caelum.
Oh, my dear, I’ve lost my heart,
And where it lies, I cannot trace.
I search the places it might reside,
Yet find no sign, no resting place.
I thought it hid within your anklets’ chime,
So I traced the path where your footsteps stream.
But seeing you, I learned in time,
That love can wound, can burn, can sin.
I drown in waves of endless yearning,
My tears a river, my soul adrift.
This ache inside, relentless, turning,
A gift of love, yet such pain it brings.
An orb of doubt rolls through my core,
A knot of fear I cannot name.
My tongue, once rich, now feels so poor,
For every word whispers emptiness, the same.
When I wait for you, each second crawls,
An eternity stretched thin, unkind.
My heart trembles, my spirit stalls,
Fearful, the world will read my mind.
Is this a heaven, pure and bright,
Or hell’s abyss, devouring light?
Your words alone can seal my fate—
To live in love or to fade.
Oh, Cuckoo, call my tender name,
And I’ll kneel before you, unafraid.
Oh, Divine, I’ll cradle you near,
Your hair like silk beneath my hand.
Oh, Moon, I’ll soothe your knuckles,
And lull you to sleep, as you command.
I’ll send the winds to kiss your face,
And whisper love in your gentle ear.
In your steps, I’ll always find,
A poem of love, a heart confined.
Caseta Caelum
