ஆதிவாசி நானே
ஒரு காதல் வாசி ஆனேன்
உன் சிறைகள் உடைக்கும்
காதல் என்னுள்ளே
I am a primitive inhabitant
I became a resident of love
Breaking your prisons
Is the love inside me
ஆசைவாசி நானே
உன் அடிமை வாசி ஆனேன்
என் உயிரின் மடியில்
உன்னை தாங்குவேன்
I am a resident of desire
I became a resident who is your slave
In the lap of my soul
I will hold you safe
தேவதை உன்னை மீட்க்கத்தான்
மிருகத்தின் இரையாய் ஆவேனே
வெண்ணிலவு உன்னை
சிறைவைத்தால்
வானத்தை இரண்டாய் உடைப்பேனே
To rescue you
Who is a divine angel
I will even become prey to a wild beast
If the bright white moon
Imprisons you
I will break the sky in two
ஆதிவாசி நானே
ஒரு காதல் வாசி ஆனேன்
உன் சிறைகள் உடைக்கும்
காதல் என்னுள்ளே
I am a primitive inhabitant
I became a resident of love
Breaking your prisons
Is the love inside me
ஆசைவாசி நானே
உன் அடிமை வாசி ஆனேன்
என் உயிரின் மடியில்
உன்னை தாங்குவேன்
I am a resident of desire
I became a resident who is your slave
In the lap of my soul
I will hold you safe
கலங்காதே பெண்ணே
உன் கண் பார்வை நானே
கடுங்காவல் மீறி
உன்னை கைசேருவேனே
Do not worry, my girl
I am your vision
Defying strict security
I will reach you and hold your hand
எனக்கென நீ உண்டு
இதயத்தில் பயமில்லை
நெருப்பினில் நின்றாலும்
எனக்கு அது சுடவில்லை
What do I lack when I have you
There is no fear in my heart
Even if I stand amidst fire
It will not burn me
எனது விழி இரண்டில்
விளக்கு திரி எரியும்
உனது பாதைகளில்
உனக்கு வழி தெரியும்
இருவர் :
ஜென்மம் மரணம்
எல்லாம் உன்னாலே
In both my eyes
A lamp wick burns
On your paths
The way will be lit for you
ஆதிவாசி நானே
ஒரு காதல் வாசி ஆனேன்
உன் சிறைகள் உடைக்கும்
காதல் என்னுள்ளே
I am a primitive inhabitant
I became a resident of love
Breaking your prisons
Is the love inside me
ஆசைவாசி நானே
உன் அடிமை வாசி ஆனேன்
என் உயிரின் மடியில்
உன்னை தாங்குவேன்
I am a resident of desire
I became a resident who is your slave
In the lap of my soul
I will hold you safe
நீ இல்லையென்றால்
என் வாழ்வே தனிமை
மரணத்தை விடவும்
அந்த நொடிதானே கொடுமை
If you are not there
My life is sheer loneliness
More painful than death itself
Is that single moment
உதிரமே மையாக
சதைகளே ஏடாக
கடிதங்கள் செதுக்கிடுவேன்
நரம்புகள் உளியாக
With blood as ink
With flesh as pages
I will carve love letters
With nerves as a chisel
நான்கு யுகங்கள்
இந்த பூமி வாழ்கிறது
அதையும் தாண்டி
நம் காதல் வாழுமே
இருவர் :
கூடும் உயிரும்
உன்னை தேடுதே
Across four eras
This earth lives on
Beyond even that
Our love will endure
ஆதிவாசி நானே
ஒரு காதல் வாசி ஆனேன்
உன் சிறைகள் உடைக்கும்
காதல் என்னுள்ளே
I am a primitive inhabitant
I became a resident of love
Breaking your prisons
Is the love inside me
ஆசைவாசி நானே
உன் அடிமை வாசி ஆனேன்
என் உயிரின் மடியில்
உன்னை தாங்குவேன்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
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”
Repetition of the suffix '-vaasi' (inhabitant/resident) across lines to build a rhythmic cadence connecting 'Aadhi vaasi' (primitive inhabitant), 'Kaadhal vaasi' (resident of love), and 'Adimai vaasi' (resident slave).
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.
