பேரழகி என்றேதான்
பெண் அவளை சொன்னாலோ
சூாியனை பிறை என்று
சொல்லுவதை போலாகும்
If one calls that woman a ultimate beauty
Calling her a ultimate beauty
Is like calling the sun
A crescent moon
{ ஆஹா என்பாா்கள்
அடடா என்பாா்கள் அவளை
பாா்த்த எல்லோரும் மூன்றே
வினாடி அவளை கண்டாலே
நெஞ்சை தாக்கும் மின்சாரம் } (2)
"Aaha", they will say
"Adada", they will say
Everyone who sees her
Within just three seconds
If they see her
An electric shock strikes the heart
மூச்சு விடும்
ரோஜா பூ பாா்த்ததில்லை
யாரும்தான் அவளை வந்து
பாா்த்தாலே அந்த குறை தீரும்தான்
A breathing rose flower
No one has ever seen
But if they come and look at her
That shortcoming will be resolved
யா
Yeah
ஆஹா என்பாா்கள்
அடடா என்பாா்கள் அவளை
பாா்த்த எல்லோரும் மூன்றே
வினாடி அவளை கண்டாலே

"Adada", they will say

ஹே பதினேழு வயது
முதல் வரும் பதினெட்டு
வயது வரை பெரும் மாற்றங்கள்
அத்தனையும் அவள் அழகை
கூட்டி விடுதே
Hey, seventeen
Starting from the age of seventeen
Until the age of eighteen, all
பாா்வைக்கு பட்ட
இடம் அங்கும் பாா்க்காமல்
விட்ட இடம் எங்கும் பாதாமின்
வண்ணம் அது பொங்கும்
கண்களுக்குள் சுடுதே
All the changes that occur
Only enhance her beauty
ஒரு ஐந்நூறு நாளான
தேன் ஆனது அவள் செந்தூரம்
சோ்கின்ற இதழ் ஆனது
Where the eyes look
Leaving those places aside
In all the untouched places
.................................
Almond's
Rich color overflows
Burning inside the eyes

Five hundred
Days turned into honey
She becomes the vermilion-adorned
Lips
ஹே ஹே ஹே
போா்கப்பல் போல இரு
இமை மீன் தொட்டி போல
இரு விழி பால் சிற்பி போல
இரு இதழ் சோ்ந்த அழகி அவள்தான்

மின் காந்தம் போல
ஒரு முகம் ஊசி பூ போல
ஒரு இடை தங்கத்தூண் போல
ஒரு உடல் கொண்ட மங்கை
அவள்தான்

"Adada", they will say
Everyone who sees her
Within just three seconds
If they see her
An electric shock strikes the heart
அவள் அழகென்ற
வாா்த்தைக்கு அகராதிதான்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Perazhagi' from the movie 'Vaseegara' (2003) is a hyperbolic celebration of extraordinary female beauty. The protagonist describes the heroine's captivating appearance, noting that calling her merely beautiful is an understatement comparable to underestimating the sun as a mere crescent moon. Anyone who catches a glimpse of her is instantly mesmerized, receiving a metaphorical electric shock within three seconds. Through elaborate similes, her eyelids are compared to warships, her eyes to fish tanks, her lips to milky seashells, her waist to delicate flowers, and her body to a golden pillar. The lyrics portray her as the definitive dictionary meaning of beauty itself, emphasizing that any attempt to describe her in words falls short.
