பூ பூ புன்னகையால்
நீ ப்ரோடீன் தருவாய்
வா வா வாா்த்தைகளால்
நீ விட்டமின் தருவாய்
With your flower-like smile
You provide protein
With your inviting words
You provide vitamins
நீயோ சாதனை செல்வன்
பெண்ணின் கண்களின் கள்வன்
நீ காதலில் கொம்பன்
ஆனால் கடவுளின் நண்பன்
You are an accomplished son
A thief of women's eyes
You are a master in love
Yet a friend of God
உந்தன் வேகமே கண்டேன்
நீயோ மின்னலின் பிள்ளை
அட மின்னலை வெட்ட
ஒரு வெட்டு கத்தி இல்லையே
I witnessed your speed
You are the child of lightning
Hey, to cut lightning
There is no sword in existence
அழகிய சூடான பூவே
என் சொந்தமான தீவே
உன்னை பாா்த்த போதே
என் உயரம் கூடி போனேன்
Beautiful, warm flower
My personal island
The moment I saw you
I grew taller in pride
இதுவரைக் காணாத
பெண்ணே இலக்கிய கவிதை
காட்டும் கண்ணே உன்னை
தோள் மீது ஏற்றி புது கோள்
கொண்டு சோ்ப்பேன்
O woman unseen until now
O eyes displaying literary poetry
Lifting you onto my shoulders
I will take you to a new planet
தொட தூண்டுதே
தூண்டுதே நிலா ஓ உன்னை
தீண்டினால் ஏனடி தடா
It entices me to touch
O moon, it entices me..
Oh.. if I touch you
Why is there an obstacle, my girl?
என் நெஞ்சிலே
முட்டுதே கிடா என்
அச்சமும் நாணமும் விடா
Inside my heart
A young goat butts in
Let my fear
And modesty be shed
வெள்ளை பொன்
மேனியை கொள்ளை
கொள்ள போகிறேன்
மெல்ல போய் தீண்டினால்
நானே கொள்ளை போகிறேன்
Your fair golden body
I am going to plunder
If I touch gently
I myself get plundered
முன்னே நீ வந்ததும்
முதுகு தண்டில் மழையடா
இன்ப தலைவா இடை தொட
இடைவெளி ஏன் உன் அணைப்பினில்
நரம்புகள் நொறுங்கட்டும்
When you came in front of me
Rain showered down my spine
O sweet leader, touch my waist
Why is there a gap? In your
Embrace, let the nerves shatter
அழகிய சூடான பூவே
என் சொந்தமான தீவே
உன்னை பாா்த்த போதே
என் உயரம் கூடி போனேன்
Beautiful, warm flower
My personal island
The moment I saw you
I grew taller in pride
இதுவரைக் காணாத
பெண்ணே இலக்கிய கவிதை
காட்டும் கண்ணே உன்னை
தோள் மீது ஏற்றி புது கோள்
கொண்டு சோ்ப்பேன்
O woman unseen until now
O eyes displaying literary poetry
Lifting you onto my shoulders
I will take you to a new planet
என்னை மத்தளம்
மத்தளம் அடி இதழ் புத்தகம்
புத்தகம் படி
Beat me like a drum
Beat the drum
Read the lip book
Read the book
ஓ விழும் முத்தமோ
முத்தமோ இடி அதை மொத்தமா
தாங்குமோ கொடி
Oh.. falling kiss
Kiss like thunder
Can a tender vine
Sustain all of it together?
நாட்டுக்குள் வன்முறை
வேண்டாம் என்பது உன்மையே
கட்டில் மேல் வன்முறை
வேண்டும் என்பது பெண்மையே
No violence inside the country
That is indeed true
But violence upon the bed
Is desired by womanhood
இன்பம் போல்
ஒரு துன்பமா துன்பம் போல்
ஒரு இன்பமா ஏழேல் பிறவியின்
சுகங்களை இன்றே வழங்கிடு
உயிரை தட்டி தட்டி திறந்திடு
Is it pain disguised as pleasure?
Is it pleasure disguised as pain?
The bliss of seven times seven births
Bestow it all today
Knock on my soul again and again to open it
{ அழகிய சூடான பூவே
என் சொந்தமான தீவே
உன்னை பாா்த்த போதே
என் உயரம் கூடி போனேன்
Beautiful, warm flower
My personal island
The moment I saw you
I grew taller in pride
இதுவரைக் காணாத
பெண்ணே இலக்கிய கவிதை
காட்டும் கண்ணே உன்னை
தோள் மீது ஏற்றி புது கோள்
கொண்டு சோ்ப்பேன் } (2)

அழகிய என் கண்ணே

அழகிய அழகிய அழகிய
தோள் மீது ஏற்றி புது கோள்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Azhagiya Soodana Poove from the 2017 Tamil film Bairavaa is a playful and passionate romantic duet between the lead characters. The song uniquely blends modern dietary terms like 'protein' and 'vitamin' with traditional Tamil poetic imagery of flowers, islands, lightning, and heavenly bodies to describe the energizing and overwhelming impact of love.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uvamai)
“Nee protein tharuvaai / Nee vitamin tharuvaai”
Compares smile and words to nutrition (protein and vitamin) that nourish the lover's soul.
Second-letter Rhyme (Ethugai)
“Thoda thoonduthae / Thoonduthae nilaa..”
Consonance of the second letter 'd' across successive lines creating a rhythmic cadence.
Oxymoron / Paradox (Muran)
“Imbam poloru thumbama / Thunbam poloru inbama”
Juxtaposes pain and pleasure to describe the intensity of intimacy.
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navortchi)
“Unai thol meedhu yetri / Pudhu koal kondu serpen”
Exaggerates the act of romance to lifting the lover to a new planet or shattering nerves in an embrace.
