Oh my, oh my, your eyes, oh dear!
The moment my eyes saw yours, everything went wild, oh dear!
Oh my, oh my, oh my goodness, oh dear!
The moment you looked at me, it felt like electricity, oh dear!
With burning eyes and radiant beauty,
You touch me, oh dear!
In the middle of the night, in my dreams,
You consumed me, oh dear!
Your image is everywhere on my eyelashes,
My eyes wouldn't close, oh my!
Your bliss is everywhere on my lips,
My mouth wouldn't speak, oh my!
When fingers pinch all over the waist,
It feels so pleasant, oh dear!
As the heart leaps without restraint,
It grows tender, oh dear!
Oh my, oh my, your eyes, oh dear!
The moment my eyes saw yours, everything went wild, oh dear!
…………………………………………….
When you touch me in the morning, oh my,
When you touch me in the evening, oh my,
If you touch me late at night, in the middle of the night, oh dear!
Oh, the fragrance of kumkum, oh my,
The fragrance of sandalwood, oh my,
I smell your fragrance on me, oh my, oh dear!
Saying 'give, give, give',
My cheek asks, oh dear!
With trembling anticipation,
A kiss enters, oh dear!
Near the earlobe, oh my,
Poetry of styled hair, oh dear!
When speaking with love, oh my,
What if one forgets to speak, oh dear?
Why does the cold remain even after the rain stops?
Is it because you came and left?
Haa.. why is there pleasure even if life burns?
Are you a scorpion of sweet bliss?
Oh my! Female: Oh dear!
Male: Oh my! Female: Oh dearrr..
Oh my, oh my, your eyes, oh dear!
Female: Oh dear!
Male: The moment my eyes saw yours, everything went wild, oh dear!
Female: Hooo..hooooooo…
………………………………..
When you speak Tamil, oh my,
When I listen to it, oh my,
Glances of eyes in love, oh my, oh dear..ho
When you search for me, oh my,
When I search for you..oh dear,
If one gets lost in love, in true love, oh dear!
Ringing sweetly like a chime,
The eyes speak, oh dear!
Cool and soothing,
The hands heat up with excitement, oh dear!
In the sound of anklets, oh my,
The language of your soft murmurs, oh dear!
To the fullest extent possible, oh my,
Serving all six tastes of delight, oh dear!
Why does the cold remain even after the rain stops?
Is it because you came and left?
Haa.. why is there pleasure even if life burns?
Are you a scorpion of sweet bliss?
Thara nan nan nan thara nan naa

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This playful and energetic love duet captures the overwhelming sensory rush of romantic attraction. The protagonists describe how every glance, touch, and voice inflection from their partner induces an electric thrill and a delightful agony, playfully expressed through the repeated exclamation 'Aiyo' (or 'Aiyayyo'). They reminisce about the intoxicating physical proximity, comparing the lover's touch to fragrances of sandalwood and vermilion, and their presence to a blissful sting.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Anaphora / Repetitive Refrain

Aiyo aiyo un kangal aiyayyo

The repeated use of 'Aiyo' / 'Aiyayyo' at the end of almost every line creates a rhythmic rhythm and highlights emotional overwhelm.

Onomatopoeia (Erattai Kilavi)

Kala kala kalavenevae / Pesidum kangal aiyayyo

Tamil sound-words like 'Kidu kidu', 'Kala kala', and 'Kulu kulu' mimic the sounds of heartbeat, laughter, and cool tactile sensations.

Oxymoron / Paradox

Haa..uyir suttaalum sugam enna / Nee inbamaana thelaa

Describing the partner as a 'delightful scorpion' ('Inbamaana thelaa') pairs the pain of a sting with the sweetness of love.

Metaphor

Kaathu madal aruginilae aiyo / Punai mudi kavithai aiyayyo

Comparing loose strands of hair fluttering around the earlobe to written poetry.
