| En pakkam ponavala | The girl who passed by my side |
| Thedamella moochu thalla | Searching for her left me completely out of breath |

| Pera ketka thonna villa | I didn't even think of asking for her name |
| Male | |
| En vekkam thira enna | What is this curtain of shyness around me? |
| Thoonga nenjam thookathula | In a sleep where my heart shouldn't be slumbering |
| Un siripu maara villa | Your sweet smile never seems to fade away |
| Naala parthu mellam thulla | Looking forward to tomorrow, my heart gently leaps |

என் பக்கம் போனவள
தேட மெல்ல மூச்சு தள்ள
என் தலைக்கும் ஏறவில்லை
பேர கேக்க தோணவில்லை
The girl who passed by my side
Searching for her left me completely out of breath
It still hasn't registered in my mind
I didn't even think of asking for her name
என் வெக்கம் தீர என்ன
தூண்ட நெஞ்சம் தூக்கத்திலே
உன் சிரிப்பும் மாறவில்ல
நாள பாத்து மேளம் துள்ள
What is this curtain of shyness around me?
In a sleep where my heart shouldn't be slumbering
Your sweet smile never seems to fade away
Looking forward to tomorrow, my heart gently leaps
என் பக்கம் போனவன
தேட மெல்ல மூச்சு தள்ள
என் தலைக்கும் ஏறவில்லை
பேர கேக்க தோணவில்லை
The girl who passed by my side
Searching for her left me completely out of breath
It still hasn't registered in my mind
I didn't even think of asking for her name
திக்கும் மனமே போட்ட திட்டமா? ஆ ஆ
உன் பாதம் தாளம் போட
என் பார்வை மேலோட
நீ பேச லைட்டா ஆச கூட வாசம் வீசும் காத்த தேட
ஆழம் கூடிட மேகம் தூவிட
Is this a calculated plan made by my confused heart?
As your feet step to the rhythm, my eyes stay fixed on you
When you speak even a little, my affection grows
Searching for the breeze that carries your fragrance
Let the depth increase as clouds drizzle down
நீ பேச லைட்டா ஆச கூட வாசம் வீசும் ... தேட
ஓரம் சாஞ்சிட தேகம் சேர்ந்திட
When you speak even a little, my affection grows
Searching for the breeze that carries your fragrance
Leaning closer together as our bodies merge
ஆலோலம் ஆழும் தூவானம் தூவும்
கேளாமல் கேட்டாலும் எண்ணம் என்னாகும்?
ஆலோலம் ஆழும் தூவானம் தூவும்
கேளாமல் கேட்டாலும் மின்னும் விண்ணாகும்
சேராமல் சேரும் தீராமல் தீரும்
மோதாமல் மீண்டொடும் மீண்டொடும்
A gentle sway while a soft drizzle falls
Even without asking, if given, what else will unfold?
A gentle sway while a soft drizzle falls
Even without asking, if given, what else will unfold?
Uniting without officially meeting, resolving without truly ending
Rebounding again and again without directly colliding
என் பக்கம் போனவள
தேட மெல்ல மூச்சு தள்ள
என் தலைக்கும் ஏறவில்லை
பேர கேக்க தோணவில்லை
The girl who passed by my side
Searching for her left me completely out of breath
It still hasn't registered in my mind
I didn't even think of asking for her name
என் வெக்கம் தீர என்ன

உன் சிரிப்பும் மாறவில்ல

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Katchi Sera' is a vibrant contemporary indie-pop track by Sai Abhyankkar depicting the exhilarating feelings of love at first sight and infatuation. The song captures the internal euphoria and breathlessness experienced when encountering someone captivating. The protagonist navigates feelings of shyness, fascination, and sweet anticipation, describing how the love interest's smile lingers in memory and alters their daily thoughts. With poetic metaphors comparing love to a soft drizzle (thoovaanam) and gentleness, the song portrays the blossoming of affection and the magnetic pull between two people.
