Pothavillaye is a Tamil song from the movie Mudinja Ivana Pudi, which sells out the intensity of love. The English translation of the song, “Pothavillaye,” translates to “it’s not enough,” further emphasizing the song’s message that love and time spent together are insufficient. The songwriter Madhan Karky talks about love and the internal strength one has developed to spend together eternity. Kiccha Sudeep and Nithya Menen are the actors in this song, which is for the film. The song features the vocals of Shreya Ghoshal and Sakthi Amaran.
Madhan Karky, who authored the lyrics of Pothavillaye, uses his language in painting a picture of a lover who wants love to grow old, but in the love they share are fleeting moments. The chorus and the repeated line “Pothavillaye Pothavillaye Unnaipola Pothai Edhum Illaiye” translate to “it’s not enough; it’s not enough; there’s no intoxication like you.” Similarly, another catchy line of the song “90 Aandugal Nee Ketkirai” translates to “you ask for 90 years.” The remaining lyrics consist of brief moments that the lovers steal from each other during their passionate conversations, aiming to slow down the pace of their love.

Pothavillaiye Pothavillaiye
It’s not enough, it’s not enough!
Unnaipola Pothai Yedhum Illaiye
No intoxication compares to you.
Nalmuzhuk Unnai Kangal Thindra Pinnum
Even after my eyes feast on you all day,
Undhan Sorgal Peithu Naan Nanaintha Pinnum
Even after being drenched by your words,
Innum Innum Pakkam Vandhum Kittathatta Ottikondum
Even as you come closer and nearly cling to me,
Moochil Theeyum Patrik Kondum…Mmm
Even as the fire of desire ignites within my breath…
Pothavillaiye Pothavillaiye
It’s not enough, it’s not enough!
Unnaipola Pothai Yedhum Illaiye
No intoxication compares to you.
Theneerai Naam Urinjchum Maalai Pothathe
The evening we sip tea together isn’t enough.
Kai Korthu Poga Indha Saalai Pothathe
This road we walk hand-in-hand isn’t long enough.
Ennenna Vingalam Naan Sollave, Kaipesi Mingalam Pothathadi
No matter how many spaceships I count, my phone battery dies before I can finish talking about you.
Un Azhagai Paruga En Kangal Pothathadi
My eyes aren’t enough to drink in your beauty.
En Nilaiyai Ezhutha Vaanangal Pothathadi
The sky isn’t vast enough to write about my feelings for you.
Neramullai Pin Izuthum, Vaaram Ettu Naal Koduthum
Even if time moved backward, even if a week had eight days,
Suttrum Bhoomiyai Thaduthume…Hey…
Even if the spinning Earth stood still… it wouldn’t be enough!
Pothavillaiye Pothavillaiye
It’s not enough, it’s not enough!
Unnaipola Pothai Yedhum Illaiye
No intoxication compares to you.
Kuzhangal Koovuginra Kaanam Pothathe
The song of the koel bird is not enough.
Koosamal Kooduginra Naanam Pothathe
The shyness that draws us together isn’t enough.
Thonnuru Aandugal Nee Kedkiraai
Even after ninety years, you still ask,
Jenmamgal Aayiram Pothathada
But even a thousand lifetimes wouldn’t be enough!
Nam Kanavai Sethukka Perandam Pothathada
The universe isn’t vast enough to sculpt our dreams.
Ivulagil Irukkum Deivamgal Pothathada
All the gods in this world aren’t enough to bless our love.
Kuttikutti Kobam Kondum, Katti Mutti Modik Kondum
Even after our little quarrels, our playful fights,
Tittititti Theertha Pinnum…Mmm
Our endless teasing… it’s still not enough!
Pothavillaiye Pothavillaiye
It’s not enough, it’s not enough!
Unnaipola Pothai Yedhum Illaiye
No intoxication compares to you.
Svaasap Paiyil Undhan, Vaasam Pootti Vaithum
Even after sealing your fragrance in my breath,
Nenja Ettil Engum Un Perai Theetti Vaithum
Even after etching your name all over my heart,
Paadal Theerndhu Pona Pinnum
Even after the song ends,
Mownam Kooda Theerndha Pinnum
Even after the silence fades,
Kodi Mutham Vaitha Pinnum…Mmm
Even after a million kisses… it’s still not enough!
Pothavillaiye Pothavillaiye
It’s not enough, it’s not enough!
Unnaipola Pothai Yedhum Illaiye
No intoxication compares to you.
