Aaraathi kannukulla
Mmm mm mm mm hm mm mm
Hmm mm hmm mmm hmm mm
In your eyes, like an aarathi (welcoming prayer),
you show such tender warmth,
and when I stand in wonder,
you soothe me with a lullaby.
Drenching drop by drop, I soaked in it... yeah
Spellbound, I melted away... yeah
Like a shower of blossoms,
you look at me,
and inside your flower-like eyes,
new flowers bloom.
Drenching drop by drop, I soaked in it... yeah
Spellbound, I melted away... yeah
When you look at me so tenderly,
my heart sings out like a prayer.
When you reach out your hand as a blessing,
my soul shivers with delight... yeah
Drenching drop by drop, I soaked in it... yeah
Spellbound, I melted away... yeah
In your eyes, like an aarathi (welcoming prayer),
you show such tender warmth,
and when I stand in wonder,
you soothe me with a lullaby.
I came into this world all alone,
yet seeing you, I melt and smile.
I was standing broken and ruined,
yet I cherish you as my own, like joyous rain.
I was a stray lamb that broke its tether,
yet you scoop up love and shower it on me.
I am an ordinary man with no good fortune,
yet you came to me like a hidden treasure.
A song that no one else cared to hear—
that is who I was, girl,
yet you listened to me closely
and gently nodded along.
A man whom no one in town ever cared for,
just a nobody, yet you,
just like a mother,
cradle me in your lap.
A clear path now opens before my eyes!
In your eyes, like an aarathi (welcoming prayer),
you show such tender warmth,
and when I stand in wonder,
you soothe me with a lullaby.
Drenching drop by drop, I soaked in it... yeah
Spellbound, I melted away... yeah
When you look at me so tenderly,
my heart sings out like a prayer.
When you reach out your hand as a blessing,
my soul shivers with delight... yeah
Drenching drop by drop, I soaked in it... yeah
Spellbound, I melted away... yeah
In your eyes, like an aarathi (welcoming prayer)...
Mmm mm mm mm hmm mm mm
Hmmm mm hmmm mmm hmmm mm

Poetic devices

Adukkuthodar (Repetition / Reduplication)

“Sotta sotta nenajaen..yee eeyyy”

The words 'Sotta sotta' (drop by drop) and 'Sokki sokki' (captivated repeatedly) use Tamil reduplication to emphasize the intensity of emotions and sensation.

Edhugai (Second-letter Rhyme)

“Sotta sotta nenajaen / Sokki sokki karanjaen”

Rhyming of second letters in consecutive lines: 'Sotta' and 'Sokki' share the 'tt/kk' rhythm and structure, creating poetic harmony.

Metaphor (Uruvagaim)

“Esa padikkuthu manase”

Comparing the protagonist's inner feelings to music ('Esa padikkuthu manase') and the lover's touch to a divine blessing ('Varama nee neetta').

Simile (Upamai)

“Adi thaaiyattam”

Comparing the heroine's unconditional, comforting warmth to maternal affection ('Adi thaaiyattam').
