ஓஹோ ஓஹோ
ஓஹோ ஓஹோ ஓஹோ
ஓஹோ ஓ ஹோ .......
Oh, vocalizing...
Oh, vocalizing...
Oh, vocalizing...
Oh, vocalizing...
அடடா என்ன
அழகு என்னை அழகாய்
கடத்தும் அழகு அழித்தே
நொறுக்கும் அழகு
பிழைப்பேனா தெரியல
Ah, what beauty!
A beauty that beautifully abducts me!
A beauty that crushes and destroys me!
I don't know if I will survive!
கண்கள் நிலவின்
அழகு அவள் கன்னம்
வெயிலின் அழகு கூந்தல்
மழையின் அழகு
தொலைந்தேனே கிடைக்கல
Her eyes possess the beauty of the moon,
Her cheeks possess the beauty of sunshine,
Her hair possesses the beauty of rain,
I am lost, I cannot be found!
சிரிக்கிறாளோ
கொஞ்சம் சிதைகிறேன்
நடக்கிறாளோ பின்னால்
அலைகிறேன் தெரிந்துமே
ஹோ ஐயோ தொலைகிறேன்
காதலின் கைகளில்
விழுகிறேன்
When she smiles...
I shatter a little.
When she walks...
I wander behind her.
Even knowing it all,
Alas, I get lost!
I fall straight into the hands of love!
அடடா என்ன
அழகு என்னை அழகாய்
கடத்தும் அழகு அழித்தே
நொறுக்கும் அழகு
பிழைப்பேனா தெரியல
ஹோ
Ah, what beauty!
A beauty that beautifully abducts me!
A beauty that crushes and destroys me!
I don't know if I will survive...
எதையோ
சொல்ல வார்த்தை
ஒன்று நான் கோர்க்கிறேன்
எதிரே உன்னை பார்த்த
உடனே ஏன் வேர்க்கிறேன்
To say something,
I try to string a word together.
Right in front of me,
the moment I see you, why do I sweat?
பெண்ணே உன்
பார்வையாலே அலை
பாய்கிறேனே ஆஹா
இந்த நேரம் நானும்
குடை சாய்கிறேன்
Girl, because of your gaze,
I am tossed around like waves.
Aah, at this moment, I too am
leaning like a tilted umbrella...
காதோரமாய்
ஊஞ்சல் கொடு காதோரமாய்
ஊஞ்சல் கொடு பெண்ணே
உன் கம்மல் போல் நான்
ஆடுவேன் கால் ஓரமாய்
சிறையில் இடு பெண்ணே
உன் கொலுசாக நான்
மாறுவேன்
Give me a swing beside your ear,
Give me a swing beside your ear,
Girl, I will swing like your earring!
Imprison me near your feet,
Girl, I will turn into your anklet!
அடடா என்ன
அழகு என்னை அழகாய்
கடத்தும் அழகு அழித்தே
நொறுக்கும் அழகு
பிழைப்பேனா தெரியல
ஹோ ஓ
Ah, what beauty!
A beauty that beautifully abducts me!
A beauty that crushes and destroys me!
I don't know if I will survive...
Ohoooo..ooohooo…
Oh, vocalizing...
Ohoooo..ooohooo…
Oh, vocalizing...
Ohoooo..ooohooo…

Ohhhh…hooo..

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Adadaa Enna Azhagu' from the movie Pugazh (2016) is a romantic song expressing the protagonist's total captivation and romantic helplessness when beholding the stunning beauty of his beloved. He metaphorically compares her facial features to elements of nature—her eyes to the moon, her cheeks to warm sunshine, and her long hair to rain clouds. Surrendering to his feelings, he desires to be as close to her as her everyday ornaments, such as her earrings and anklets. Written by Na. Muthu Kumar, the lyrics capture the intoxicating joy, nervousness, and sweet surrender of falling deeply in love.
