ஆசை ஓவியம் பேசும் ஓவியம்
உன்னை வரையவேண்டும்படி வருவாயா
ஓவியம் வரைய உன்னிடம் இருந்து
வர்ணங்கள் கொஞ்சம் தருவாயா
Desired portrait, speaking portrait
Will you come so I can draw you?
To draw a painting, from you
Will you give me a few colors?
கை விரல் என்பது தூரிகையானால்
காய்கிதமாகவும் வருவேனே
வர்ணங்கள் என்ன நீ வந்துக்கேட்டால்
உயிரை வழித்து தருவேனே
If my finger becomes a paintbrush
I will come as the paper canvas
If you come and ask for colors
I will scrape and give my very soul
அடடா அடடா உலகத்தில் இல்லை
எவனும் இதுபோல் வரைந்ததுமில்லை
காதலியே நீ நிறங்களின் பிள்ளை
காதலியே நீ நிறங்களின் பிள்ளை
Oh my, oh my, there is no one in this world
No one has ever painted like this
My lover, you are the child of colors
My lover, you are the child of colors
ஆசை ஓவியம் பேசும் ஓவியம்
உன்னை வரையவேண்டும்படி வருவாயா
Desired portrait, speaking portrait
Will you come so I can draw you?
ஹ்ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்
ஹ்ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்
Hmm hmm hmmm mmm mmm
Hmm hmm hmmm mmm mmm
விண்ணை விழுங்கிய
விழிகளில் இருந்து
நீல வர்ணம் தருவாயா
Which swallowed the sky
From those eyes
Will you give me blue color?
நீல வர்ணம்
இருந்த விழியில்
நீயே விழுந்து விடுவாயா
Blue color
In those very eyes
Will you fall into them yourself?
உதடுகள் என்னும்
செவ்வந்தி நிலத்தில்
சிவப்பு வர்ணம் தருவாயா
In the red flower field
Called lips
Will you give me red color?
உதட்டில் வர்ணம்
எதுக்கும் நேரம்
உடம்பே சிவக்க வைப்பாயா
Color on the lips
When taking it
Will you make my whole body blush red?
கூந்தல் நெளிவில்
கூச்சம் மறந்து
கருப்பு வர்ணம் தருவாயா
In the curves of hair
Forgetting shyness
Will you give me black color?
கூந்தலின் நிறத்தில்
கண் தெரியாமல்
நீயே தொலைந்து போவாயா
In the dark shade of hair
Without eyes being able to see
Will you get lost yourself?
அடடா அடடா உலகத்தில் இல்லை
எவனும் இதுபோல் வரைந்ததுமில்லை
என்னவளே நீ ஓவிய சோலை
Oh my, oh my, there is no one in this world
No one has ever painted like this
My girl, you are a grove of paintings
மகரந்தம் ஊறும்
மேனியில் இருந்து
மஞ்சள் வர்ணம் தருவாயா
Oozing with pollen
From your body
Will you give me yellow color?
மஞ்சள் வர்ணம்
பொங்கும் மேனியில்
நீயே கரைந்து விடுவாயா
Yellow color
In the overflowing body
Will you dissolve yourself?
இச்சை நிலவே
பச்சை நரம்பில்
பசுமை வர்ணம் தருவாயா
Moon of desire
In the green vein
Will you give me green color?
நரம்பு வழியே
கசிய கசிய
காதல் வழிய செய்வாயா
Through the veins
Slowly trickling
Will you make love flow out?
வளையும் வயசே
மனசில் இருந்து
வெள்ளை வர்ணம் தருவாயா
Curving age of youth
From the heart
Will you give me white color?
வெள்ளை வர்ணம்
இருக்கும் மனசை
கொள்ளையடித்து செல்வாயா
White color
The heart that exists
Will you rob it and go?
அடடா அடடா உலகத்தில் இல்லை
எவனும் இதுபோல் வரைந்ததுமில்லை
இனியவளே நீ அழகுக்கு எல்லை
Oh my, oh my, there is no one in this world
No one has ever painted like this
Sweet girl, you are the boundary of beauty
ஆசை ஓவியம் பேசும் ஓவியம்
உன்னை வரையவேண்டும்படி வருவாயா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Aasai Oviyam is a deeply romantic song centered on the metaphor of creating a masterpiece painting. The lover requests various colors directly from his beloved's body and soul—blue from her expressive sky-like eyes, red from her flower-like lips, black from her cascading hair, yellow from her glowing skin, green from her passionate veins, and white from her pure heart. In response, the beloved surrenders completely, offering her body as the canvas and her very soul as the paint, celebrating an artistic union of unconditional love.
