Core Theme and Lyrics Meaning

The title "Paattu Oru Paattu" translates simply to "A song, just one song." The lyrics, written by the legendary Kannadasan, describe how this "one song" (symbolizing love or a beloved) affects the senses:

Intoxication in Writing: The female lead sings that when she tries to write this song (love) in her books or records, it causes a sense of "mayakkam" or dizziness/intoxication.

Restlessness: The male lead responds that this same song makes him wander through gardens in search of something and keeps him sleepless at night, causing him to roam restlessly.

Unity: The recurring refrain emphasises that despite all other songs in the world, there is only "one song" that truly matters to them—the melody of their mutual affection.
