ஆகாய சூரியனை
ஒற்றை ஜடையில் கட்டியவள்
நின்றாடும் விண்மீனை நெற்றி
சுட்டியில் ஒட்டியவள்
She who tied the celestial sun into a single braid,
She who stuck a twinkling star onto her forehead ornament,
ஆகாய சூரியனை
ஒற்றை ஜடையில் கட்டியவள்
நின்றாடும் விண்மீனை நெற்றி
சுட்டியில் ஒட்டியவள் இவள்
தானே எரிமலை அள்ளி
மருதாணி போல் பூசியவள்
She who tied the celestial sun into a single braid,
She who stuck a twinkling star onto her forehead ornament,
Is she not the one who scooped up a volcano,
And applied it like henna?
கொடி நான் உன்
தேகம் முற்றும் சுற்றி
கொண்ட கொடி நான் என்
எண்ணம் எதுவோ கிளி தான்
உன்னை கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சம்
கொத்தி தின்னும் கிளி நான்
உன்னை கொஞ்சும் என்னமோ
I am a vine, a vine that has wrapped around your entire body,
Whatever my intention might be...
I am a parrot, a parrot that slowly pecks and eats you,
Is it my intention to caress you?
ஆஆ ஆஆஆ ஆஆ
ஆஆஆ ஆஆ ஆஆஆ ஆஆ
ஆஆஆ
Aahhhh... aaaahhhhh... aaaaaa... aaaaaa...
Aahhhh... aaaahhhhh... aaaaaa... aaaaaa...
ஆகாய சூரியனை
ஒற்றை ஜடையில் கட்டியவள்
நின்றாடும் விண்மீனை நெற்றி
சுட்டியில் ஒட்டியவள் நீதானே
எரிமலை அள்ளி மருதாணி
போல் பூசியவள்
She who tied the celestial sun into a single braid,
She who stuck a twinkling star onto her forehead ornament,
You are the one who scooped up a volcano,
And applied it like henna.
அடியே என் தேகம்
முற்றும் சுற்றி கொண்ட
கொடியே உன் எண்ணம்
என்னவோ சகியே என்னை
கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சம் கொத்தி
தின்னும் கிளியே என்னை
கொல்லும் என்னமோ
Oh girl, you are the vine that has wrapped around my whole body,
What is your intention?
Oh beloved, you are the parrot that slowly pecks and eats me,
Is it your intention to kill me?
காதல் பந்தியில்
நாமே உணவுதான் உண்ணும்
பொருளே உன்னை உண்ணும்
விந்தை இங்கேதான்
In the feast of love, we ourselves are the food,
The wonder here is that the item being eaten eats you back!
காதல் பார்வையில்
பூமி வேறு தான் மார்கழி
வேர்க்கும் சித்திரை குளிரும்
மாறுதல் இங்கேதான்
In the eyes of love, the earth itself is different,
Here is the shift where winter sweats and summer chills.
உன் குளிருக்கு
இதமாய் என்னை அடிக்கடி
கொளுத்து
To comfort your chill, light me up frequently,
என் வெயிலுக்கு
சுகம் தா உன் வேர்வையில்
நனைத்து
To soothe my heat, drench me in your sweat.
காதல் மறந்தவன்
காமம் கடந்தவன் துறவை
துறந்ததும் சொர்கம் வந்தது
He who forgot love and transcended lust,
Once he abandoned asceticism, heaven arrived!
ஆகாய சூரியனை
ஒற்றை ஜடையில் கட்டியவள்
நின்றாடும் விண்மீனை நெற்றி
சுட்டியில் ஒட்டியவள் நீதானே
எரிமலை அள்ளி மருதாணி
போல் பூசியவள்
She who tied the celestial sun into a single braid,
She who stuck a twinkling star onto her forehead ornament,
You are the one who scooped up a volcano,
And applied it like henna.

என்னை கண்டதும்
ஏன் நீ ஒளிகிறாய் டோரா
போரா மலை சென்றாலும்
துரத்தி வருவேனே
Why do you hide upon seeing me?
Even if you go to the Tora Bora mountains, I will chase and follow you!
உன்னை நீங்கி
நான் எங்கே செல்வது
உன் உள்ளங்கையில்
ரேகைக்குள்ளே ஒளிந்து
கொல்வேனே
Where would I go away from you?
I will hide inside the lines of your palm!
அடி காதல்
வந்தும் ஏன் கண்ணாமூச்சி
Hey, why play hide-and-seek when love has arrived?
நீ கண்டு கண்டு
பிடித்தால் பின் காமன்
ஆட்சி
If you find me, then begins the reign of Cupid!
கத்தி பறித்து நீ
பூவை தெளிக்கிறாய்
பாரம் குறைந்தது
ஏதோ நிம்மதி
You snatch away the sword and sprinkle flowers instead,
The burden is lightened, bringing a sense of peace...
ஆகாய சூரியனை
ஒற்றை ஜடையில் கட்டியவள்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Aagaaya Suriyanai from Samurai (2002) is a passionate romantic duet composed by Harris Jayaraj with lyrics by Vairamuthu. The song uses cosmic hyperbole and vivid imagery to portray a woman of divine, breathtaking beauty—describing her as one who can braid the sun, wear a star as an ornament, and apply volcanic lava like henna. The lovers exchange expressions of intimate devotion, viewing love as an all-consuming experience where they willingly become each other's food and refuge. The lyrics explore how love reshapes perception and reality itself, turning cold winter into sweat and summer into cool relief. It balances playful hide-and-seek banter with intense sensual longing, reflecting a transcendent connection where even weapons are replaced with flowers, bringing profound peace to the soul.
