அடியே… அடியே…
அடியே… அடியே…
அஞ்சல எதிர வந்து
நெஞ்சுல இறங்கி நின்னு
சக்கர கண்ணுல என்ன
கொஞ்சி போறாளே
Hey girl... hey girl...
Hey girl... hey girl...
She came fearlessly right in front of me
Stepped down into my heart and took her place
With sweet, sugar-like eyes, she...
Fondled me and walked away
கையில விலங்க மாட்டி
இழுத்தா அவ பின்னாடி
கம்பித்தான் எண்ணுரெண்டா அவ
இதயத்தில் மாட்டி
Putting handcuffs on my wrists
She dragged me behind her
I am counting prison bars now
Trapped inside her heart
அடியே… அடியே…
என்ன பாக்காம போறா
அடியே… அடியே…
ஏதும் பேசாம போறா
Hey girl... hey girl...
Why do you walk past without looking at me?
Hey girl... hey girl...
Why do you leave without speaking a word?
நெசமா… நெசமா…
ஆச வெச்சேனே ஜோரா
ரவுசா… ரவுசா…
என்ன பாக்காம போறா
Truly... truly...
I fell in love with you so deeply
With style... with swagger...
Why do you walk past without looking at me?
அடியே…
அடியே…
Hey girl...
Hey girl...
மிஞ்சுற மனசு இப்ப
கெஞ்சுதே உனக்கு எப்போ
மத்தளம் தட்டுது சும்மா
நெத்திக்குள்ளார
My heart that once stood tall
Is now begging you—when will you notice?
A drum beats uncontrollably
Inside my forehead
கொழுத்தும் வெயிலு கூட
ஐஸ்-ஆ ஒரசிகிட்டு
நெனப்பில் கலர் அடிக்குது
அய்யோ தன்னால
Even the burning hot sun
Rubs against ice
And colors my thoughts
Oh my, all on its own!
வர வர
கண்ணா பின்ன ஆச
என் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளரா
பேச்சு நின்னு போச்சு
நீ பக்கம் வந்தாலே
As time goes by...
Wild and chaotic desires grow
Deep within my chest
I lost my voice
Whenever you came close to me
அடிகடி ஓரக்கண்ணில் பாத்த
அத நீ கூட பாத்த
தள்ளி தள்ளி போனக்கா
தள்ளாடுறேன் தன்னால
I glanced out of the corner of my eye
And you saw that too
If you move away from me
I stumble and lose balance on my own
அடியே… அடியே…
என்னா பாக்காம போறா
அடியே… அடியே…
எதும் பேசாம போறா
Hey girl... hey girl...
Why do you walk past without looking at me?
Hey girl... hey girl...
Why do you leave without speaking a word?
நெசமா… நெசமா…
ஆச வெச்சேனே ஜோரா
ரவுசா… ரவுசா…
என்ன பாக்காம போறா
Truly... truly...
I fell in love with you so deeply
With style... with swagger...
Why do you walk past without looking at me?
அடியே… அடியே…
என்ன பாக்காம போறா
அடியே… அடியே…
எதும் பேசாம போறா
Hey girl... hey girl...
Why do you walk past without looking at me?

Anjala edhura vandhu
She came fearlessly right in front of me
Nenjula erangi ninnu
Stepped down into my heart and took her place
Sakkara kannula enna
With sweet, sugar-like eyes, she...
Konji poralae
Fondled me and walked away
Kaiyila velanga maati

Minjura manasu ipo
My heart that once stood tall
Kenjudhae unakku epo
Is now begging you—when will you notice?
Mathalam thattudhu summa
A drum beats uncontrollably
Nethikkullaara
Inside my forehead
Koluthum veyilu kooda
Even the burning hot sun
Ice-ah orasikittu
Rubs against ice
Nenappil colour adikudhu
And colors my thoughts
Ayyo thannaala
Oh my, all on its own!
Vara vara
As time goes by...
Kanna pinna aasa
Wild and chaotic desires grow
En nenjukullara
Deep within my chest
Pechu ninnu pochu
I lost my voice
Nee pakkam vandhalae
Whenever you came close to me
Adikadi orakannil paatha
I glanced out of the corner of my eye
Adha nee kooda paatha
And you saw that too
Thalli thalli ponaakka
If you move away from me
Thalladuren thannala
I stumble and lose balance on my own
Adiyae… adiyae…
Hey girl... hey girl...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Adiyae' from the movie Nandhivarman is a lively, rhythmic romantic track expressing the protagonist's overwhelmed state of being captivated by his love interest. He whimsically compares her charm to being arrested and imprisoned inside her heart, describing how her playful indifference leaves him mesmerized and flustered.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uvamai / Uruvagarn)
“Sakkara kannula enna / Kambidha ennurenda ava idahayathil maati”
Compares love captivity to counting prison bars ('Kambidha ennurenda') and sweet gazes to sugar ('Sakkara kannula').
Second-letter Rhyme (Edhukai)
“Anjala edhura vandhu / Nenjula erangi ninnu”
The second consonant sound matches across adjacent lines ('Anjala' / 'Nenjula').
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navortchi)
“Koluthum veyilu kooda / Ice-ah orasikittu”
Exaggerating the heat and cooling effect as 'scorching sun rubbing against ice' inside his thoughts.
