அழகான கொலைகாரி
கொலைகாரி சுகமான சதிகாரி
சதிகாரி உயிரே போகாமல் நீ
என்னை கொன்றாயே
Beautiful murderess
Murderess
Pleasurable conspirator
Conspirator
Without my soul actually leaving
You killed me
அசைந்தாடும் சிலையா
நீ மனம் பாக்கும் அலையா நீ
வலையே வீசாமல் என்னை
நீ அள்ளி சென்றாயே
Are you a swaying statue?
Are you a wave observed by the mind?
Without even casting a net
You gathered me up and carried me away
ஒரு நொடியில்
உன்னாலே எரிமலையில்
வெந்தேனே மறு நொடியில்
தன்னாலே பனி துளியில்
நின்றேனே
In a single second, because of you
I burned in a volcano
In the very next second, automatically
I stood inside a dewdrop
அழகான கொலைகாரி
கொலைகாரி சுகமான சதிகாரி
சதிகாரி உயிரே போகாமல் நீ
என்னை கொன்றாயே
Beautiful murderess
Murderess
Pleasurable conspirator
Conspirator
Without my soul actually leaving
You killed me
என்னை நானும்
தேடி தேடி காணாமல்
போனேன் உன்னை காணும்
நேரம் எல்லாம் நான் என்னை
கண்டேன்
Searching and searching for myself
I got lost completely
Whenever I catch sight of you
I found myself again
இமை ரெண்டும்
கண்ணை குத்தும் விந்தைகள்
பார்த்தேன் மழை தூறல் தீயாய்
தீண்டும் மாயங்கள் கண்டேன்
Both eyelids pierce the eyes
I witnessed such wonders
Drizzling rain feels like touching fire
I witnessed such illusions
பூவின் மீது இடியை
போலே நெஞ்சில் உந்தன்
எண்ணம் மோத நூறாய்
சுக்கு நூறாய் நானே ஆகி
போனேன்
Like thunder striking upon a delicate flower
When thoughts of you collide inside my heart
Into a hundred shattered pieces
I became broken into bits
இரவுகளில் ஏதேதோ
கலவரத்தில் வேர்த்தேனோ
இருதயத்தில் பூ பூக்கும்
அதிசயத்தை பார்த்தேனோ
Day and night, through all kinds of turmoil
Did I sweat in anxiety?
A flower blooming inside the heart
Did I witness that miracle?
அழகான கொலைகாரி
சுகமான சதிகாரி உயிரே
போகாமல் நீ என்னை
கொன்றாயே
Beautiful murderess
Pleasurable conspirator
Without my soul actually leaving
You killed me
ஆஆ ஆஆ
ஆஆ ஆஆ ஆஆ
Aaa…aaaa…..aa…
Aaa….aaa…
மலர் ஒன்று மனதை
கிள்ள நான் வாடி நின்றேன்
மயில் தோகை புயலை வீச
நான் ஆடி போனேன்
As a single flower pinches the heart
I stood there withered
As a peacock feather fans a hurricane
I was shaken away
ஆஹா கடிகார
முள்ளாய் உன்னை நான்
சுற்றி வந்தேன் கணம் நேரம்
மரணம் ஒன்றை கண் பார்க்க
கண்டேன்
Ahaa... like the hands of a clock, around you
I kept revolving endlessly
In a fraction of a second, a kind of death
My eyes witnessed
ஏக்கம் தந்து தூக்கம்
தின்றாய் தாகம் தந்து தள்ளி
நின்றாய் தேளாய் கொட்டும்
தேளாய் ஆனாய் நீயும் ஆனாய்
Giving me longing
You devoured my sleep
Giving me thirst, you stood at a distance
Like a stinging scorpion
You became, even you became
தனிமையிலே நான்
நின்று கதறும் படி செய்தாயே
கனவுகளில் நீ வந்து கன்னி
வெடி வைத்தாயே
Standing all alone in solitude
You made me cry out in anguish
Entering into my dreams
You planted landmines
அழகான கொலைகாரி
கொலைகாரி சுகமான சதிகாரி
சதிகாரி உயிரே போகாமல் நீ
என்னை கொன்றாயே
Beautiful murderess
Kolaikaari
Pleasurable conspirator
Sadhigaari
Without my soul actually leaving
You killed me
அசைந்தாடும் சிலையா
நீ மனம் பாக்கும் அலையா நீ
வலையே வீசாமல் என்னை
நீ அள்ளி சென்றாயே
Are you a swaying statue? Ah...
Are you a wave observed by the mind? Ah...
Without even casting a net

நின்றேனே
In a single second, because of you
I burned in a volcano
In the very next second, automatically
I stood inside a dewdrop

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Azhagaana Kolaikaari from Ninaithathu Yaaro expresses the intense, overwhelming emotional state of a lover captivated by his beloved. He addresses her metaphorically as a beautiful murderess and a sweet conspirator whose mere presence and actions drive him to emotional extremes, metaphorically killing him without taking his physical life away. Throughout the song, paradoxical feelings are highlighted—burning in a volcano one moment and finding solace in a dewdrop the next. The lyrics capture the sweet agony of love through vivid surreal imagery like landmines planted in dreams, peacock feathers fanning storms, and eyelids piercing eyes, illustrating how love destabilizes the protagonist's world while simultaneously making him feel complete.
