I was once a wild soul,

Now I have made love my home.

Ready to break your prisons,

Love lives inside me.

I am a soul full of desire,

And I have become your captive.

Upon the lap of my soul,

I will hold and shelter you.

Just to rescue an angel

like you,

I will gladly become prey to a wild beast.

If the white moon

ever imprisons you,

I will tear the sky in two.

I was once a wild soul,

Now I have made love my home.

Ready to break your prisons,

Love lives inside me.

I am a soul full of desire,

And I have become your captive.

Upon the lap of my soul,

I will hold and shelter you.

Do not worry, my girl,

I will be the vision for your eyes.

Breaking past strict guards,

I will reach you and hold your hand.

What do I lack when I have you?

There is no fear in my heart.

Even if I stand in fire,

it does not burn me.

In both of my eyes,

a lamp's flame will burn,

So that on your paths,

you will clearly see the way.

I was once a wild soul,

Now I have made love my home.

Ready to break your prisons,

Love lives inside me.

I am a soul full of desire,

And I have become your captive.

Upon the lap of my soul,

I will hold and shelter you.

If you are not with me,

my entire life is loneliness.

Even worse than death,

is that painful moment.

With my blood as the ink

and my flesh as the paper,

I will carve out letters,

using my nerves as a chisel.

Across the four yugas (cosmic ages),

this earth endures,

And far beyond even that,

our love will live on.

I was once a wild soul,

Now I have made love my home.

Ready to break your prisons,

Love lives inside me.

I am a soul full of desire,

And I have become your captive.

Upon the lap of my soul,

I will hold and shelter you.

Just to rescue an angel

like you,

I will gladly become prey to a wild beast.

If the white moon

ever imprisons you,

I will tear the sky in two.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Aadhi Vaasi Naanae from the movie Kedi (2006) is an intense, passionate love song that portrays a lover's raw and primal devotion. The protagonist compares himself to a primitive person whose wild spirit has been conquered and transformed by love. He pledges unconditional protection and fearlessness in the face of any adversity, expressing a readiness to sacrifice his life and defy nature itself for his beloved.

Poetic devices

Wordplay / Rhyme (Iyaibu)

“Aadhi vaasi naanae / Oru kaadhal vaasi aanen”

Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navitchi Ani)

“Vaanathai rendaai udaipenae”

Exaggeration used to emphasize the strength of his love, claiming he will split the sky in two if the moon attempts to imprison his lover.

Metaphor (Uruvakam)

“Udhiramae maiyaaga / Sadhaigalae yedaaga / Narambugal uliyaaga”

Metaphorically comparing blood to ink, flesh to paper, and nerves to a chisel to express deeply felt emotions.
