Ammamma ennaanu theriyala
Aagayam boologam puriyala
Ponnunna neethanae ulagula
Un kannil paarthenae kaduvula
Kalkanda nee pesum azhagula
Kalli poo mull neekkum nodiyila
Sil vando unnoda nizhalula
Thean unna thavam kidakku usurula
Oru vazhiyila kodi vizhakka
Kozhuthura unna yaaru jeikka
Mala aruviya pola neeyum
Paasam kaattum devadhai
Dhinasari unnai paarthu rasikka
Pagal varuvadha ellaarum viyakka
Ilavarasigal ellaam unakku
Illai illai eedamma
Nee mayil aadum paaraiyila
Nada podum poonguyilu
Unai paatta paaduthu
Yeru veyilu
Nee malakkoyil serayila
Kuviyadho kai viralu
Unai kaaval kaakkanum
Aadhi tamizhu
Ammamma ennaanu theriyala
Aagayam boologam puriyala
Ponnunna neethanae ulagula
Un kannil paarthenae kaduvula
Hey uchchi uchchi
Velli nilla kannaanadho hoi
Unnai kanda vekkathula
Mallandhadho ho hoi
Magarasi unnoda mugamae
Mala ooththa sandhosam tharumae
Pul poondum un pechil poovaagumae
Aalillaa kaattukkulla
Anandha thooral thaanae

Tharuvaar yaar vaarthai kadanae

Oh my, I don't know what's happening to me,
I can't make sense of the sky or the earth anymore.
If anyone is a true woman in this world, it is only you,
and in your eyes, I have seen God.
In the sweet charm of your words like sugar candy,
in the moment a cactus blossom sheds its thorns,
a tiny beetle resting in your shadow
yearns with all its soul to taste the sweet nectar.
Lighting millions of lamps along your path,
who could ever win against someone like you?
Just like a rushing mountain waterfall,
you are an angel overflowing with pure affection.
Just to look at you and admire you every day,
everyone wonders if the daylight breaks only for that.
All the royal princesses in the world
are simply no match for you at all!
On the rocks where peacocks dance,
you are the sweet cuckoo strolling gracefully,
and singing a song in your praise
is the rising morning sunshine!
When you reach the mountain temple,
don't everyone's hands fold in devotion?
Standing guard to protect you
should be ancient Tamil itself!
Oh my, I don't know what's happening to me,
I can't make sense of the sky or the earth anymore.
If anyone is a true woman in this world, it is only you,
and in your eyes, I have seen God.
Hey, high up at the mountain peak,
has the silver moon turned into your shining eyes?
Feeling shy after looking at you,
did it lean back in awe?
Blessed woman, your lovely face
brings pure joy like a mountain spring!
Even wild grass and weeds bloom into flowers at your words!
In an empty, lonely forest,
you are like a shower of joyful rain.
To describe all the love you give,
who could ever lend me enough words?
On the rocks where peacocks dance,
you are the sweet cuckoo strolling gracefully,
and singing a song in your praise
is the rising morning sunshine!
When you reach the mountain temple,
don't everyone's hands fold in devotion?
Standing guard to protect you
should be ancient Tamil itself!
Lighting millions of lamps along your path,
who could ever win against someone like you?
Just like a rushing mountain waterfall,
you are an angel overflowing with pure affection.
Just to look at you and admire you every day,
everyone wonders if the daylight breaks only for that.
All the royal princesses in the world
are simply no match for you at all!
On the rocks where peacocks dance,
you are the sweet cuckoo strolling gracefully,
and singing a song in your praise
is the rising morning sunshine!
When you reach the mountain temple,
don't everyone's hands fold in devotion?
Standing guard to protect you
should be ancient Tamil itself!
Oh my, I don't know what's happening to me,
I can't make sense of the sky or the earth anymore.
If anyone is a true man in this world, it is only you,
and in your eyes, I have seen God.
In the sweet charm of your words like sugar candy,
in the moment a cactus blossom sheds its thorns,
a tiny beetle resting in your shadow
waits in deep prayer to taste the sweet nectar,
waits in deep prayer with all its soul!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song is a deeply expressive, romantic duet celebrating profound love, divine beauty, and overwhelming affection between lovers. The lyrics utilize rich poetic imagery from nature—referencing mountain waterfalls, cuckoo birds, peacocks, rock sugar sweetness, and the silver moon—to illustrate how the beloved's presence elevates everyday existence into a state of divine wonder. Towards the final stanzas, the perspective shifts as the female vocalist reflects the same adoration back to the male protagonist, showing a mutual, soul-deep veneration.
