{ அடியே கொல்லுதே
அழகோ அள்ளுதே உலகம்
சுருங்குதே இருவாில் அடங்குதே
{ Oh girl, it kills me
Her beauty sweeps me away
The world shrinks down
And fits within the two of us
உன்னோடு நடக்கும்
ஒவ்வொரு நொடிக்கும்
அா்த்தங்கள் சோ்ந்திடுதே
என் காலை நேரம் என் மாலை
வானம் நீயின்றி காய்ந்திடுதே } (2)
Walking alongside you
For every single moment
Meaning gets added to life
இரவும் பகலும்
உன்முகம் இரையைப்
போலே துரத்துவதும்
ஏனோ முதலும் முடிவும்
நீயென தொிந்த பின்பு
தயங்குவதும் வீணோ
My morning time
My evening sky
Dries up without you } (2)
வாடைக் காற்றினில்
ஒரு நாள் ஒரு வாசம் வந்ததே
உன் நேசம் என்றதே உந்தன்
கண்களில் ஏதோ மின்சாரம்
உள்ளதே என் மீது பாய்ந்ததே
Day and night
Your face, like prey
Why does it keep chasing me?
மழைக்காலத்தில்
சாியும் மண் தரை போலவே
மனமும் உனைக் கண்டதும்
சாியக் கண்டேனே
The beginning and the end
After knowing that you are both
Is hesitating in vain?
அடியே கொல்லுதே
அழகோ அள்ளுதே உலகம்
சுருங்குதே இருவாில் அடங்குதே
In the chilly northern breeze
One day a fragrance arrived
And declared it was your love
உன்னோடு நடக்கும்
ஒவ்வொரு நொடிக்கும்
அா்த்தங்கள் சோ்ந்திடுதே
என் காலை நேரம் என் மாலை
வானம் நீயின்றி காய்ந்திடுதே
In your eyes
There is some electricity
That pounced upon me
.......................................
During the rainy season
Just like a muddy ground sliding
My heart too, upon seeing you
I saw it collapse completely
அழகின் சிகரம்
நீயடி கொஞ்சம் அதநால்
தள்ளி நடப்பேனே
Oh girl, it kills me
Her beauty sweeps me away
The world shrinks down
And fits within the two of us
ஒரு சொல் ஒரு
சொல் சொல்லடி இந்தக்
கணமே உன்னை மணப்பேனே
Walking alongside you
For every single moment
Meaning gets added to life
சொல்லா வாா்த்தையின்
சுகமே மயில் தோகை போலவே
என் மீது ஊருதே எல்லா வானமும்
நீலம் சில நேரம் மாத்திரம்
செந்தூரம் ஆகுதே
My morning time
My evening sky
Dries up without you
எனக்காகவே வந்தாய்
என் நிழல் போலவே நின்றாய்
உனைத் தோற்று நீ என்னை வென்றாயே
...................
அடியே கொல்லுதே
அழகோ அள்ளுதே உலகம்
சுருங்குதே இருவாில் அடங்குதே
The peak of beauty
You are, my girl, so a little bit
I walk at a distance from you
உன்னோடு நடக்கும்
ஒவ்வொரு நொடிக்கும்
அா்த்தங்கள் சோ்ந்திடுதே
என் காலை நேரம் என் மாலை
வானம் நீயின்றி காய்ந்திடுதே
Just one word
Say just one word, girl, and in this
Very moment, I will marry you
.......................................
The pleasure of unspoken words
Like a soft peacock feather
Crawls gently over me
The entire sky
Is blue, but at times
It turns into a vibrant crimson
Just for me
You came like my shadow
You stood by, and losing yourself to me
You conquered me...
Oh girl, it kills me
Her beauty sweeps me away

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Adiye Kolludhe' is an intense romantic rock ballad from the movie Vaaranam Aayiram. The song portrays the overwhelming emotions of young love, capturing the protagonist's profound infatuation with his partner. He expresses how her presence brings purpose to his days, making the universe feel small enough to center entirely around the two of them. Her beauty, gaze, and silence affect him so deeply that he feels completely captivated and overwhelmed. Throughout the track, vivid imagery compares love to electricity, a sudden mudslide during rains, and a peacock feather gently touching the skin. He feels helpless against the tide of his feelings and declares his willingness to commit to her instantly if she speaks just one comforting word.
