Heart pounding nervously,
Every day with jittery anxiousness,
My heart beats lub-dub,
It beats so fast for me!

Wildly excited and fast,
Oh dear, crying out in frenzy,
My brain snaps and pops,
It is exploding inside me!
என் மண்டையோட
உச்சியில ஏதோ பண்ணுது
அது ஒன்னுமில்ல ஒரு
குத்தமில்ல அவ காதல்

At the top of my head,
Something strange is happening!
But there is nothing wrong, no fault at all,
It's just because she expressed her love!

உள்ளுக்குள்ள கட்டி
வெச்சேன் என் தங்கத்துக்கு
கோயில ஊருக்குள்ள இவள
போல யாருமில்ல அழகுல
Inside my heart, I built
A temple for my golden girl.
In this entire town, like her,
No one compares in beauty.
சம்மதத்த சொல்லுவானு
சத்தியமா நம்பல சங்கோஜமா
இருந்தா எனக்கு சந்தோசம்
தான் தாங்கல
That she would say yes to me,
I truly never expected or believed!
For me, who was once full of hesitation,
I cannot contain my joy now!
வளைச்சாலும் நான்
தான் வானவில்ல வளச்சேனே
சிரிச்சாலும் நான் தான் மொறைக்க
சொல்லி ரசிப்பேனே என்ன எண்ணி
நெத்தியில பொட்டு வெச்சாலே நான்
வாழ போற வாழ்க்கைக்கு தான்
வட்டம் போட்டாலே
Even if it needed bending,
I bent the rainbow itself!
Even when she smiles,
I ask her to frown and enjoy her moods!
Thinking of me, she placed a bindi on her forehead,
For the life I am going to live,
She has drawn a protective circle...
என்னை வெச்சி தச்சி
புட்டா காதல் என்னும் நூலுல
எங்கிருந்து வந்தா இவ
என்னுடைய தேவதை
She stitched me together
With the thread of love.
Where did she come from,
This angel of mine?
மந்திரம் தந்திரம்
பண்ணாமலே மயக்கி புட்டா
மாப்புள மன்மதன போல
என்ன மாத்தி புட்டா
ஷாக்குல
Without performing any magic tricks,
She captivated me so effortlessly!
Like Cupid himself,
She transformed me in utter shock!
திரிச்சாலும் மணல
கயிறாக திரிச்சேனே மெதந்தாலும்
நான் தான் சொர்கத்துல மிதந்தேனே
என்ன வேணும் சொல்லு புள்ள என்னை
தந்திட வா என்ன அள்ளி எப்போதும்
உன் கண்ணில் கண்ணில் கண்ணில்
தந்திடவா
Even if sand had to be twisted,
I twisted sand into a strong rope!
If anyone is floating in bliss, it is me,
Floating right in heaven!
Tell me what you want, girl, shall I surrender myself to you?
Shall I gather myself up and place myself
Always in your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes?
பக்கு பக்குன்னு ஐயோ
திக்கு திக்குன்னு ஹே லப்பு
டப்புன்னு மனசு அடிக்குது
அடிக்குது ஐயோ ஐயோ
பிரைன்னு எனக்கு வெடி
வெடி வெடி வெடிக்குது
Heart pounding nervously!
Oh my!
Jittery with excitement!
Hey, beating lub-dub!
My heart is beating, beating!
Oh my, oh my!
My brain...
Is bursting, bursting, bursting inside me!
மண்டையோட உச்சியில
எனக்கு ஏதோ பண்ணுது அது
ஒன்னுமில்ல ஒரு குத்தமில்ல
அவ காதல் சொன்னது
At the top of my crown,
Something is happening to me!
But there is nothing wrong, no fault at all,
It's because she confessed her love!
பக்கு பக்குன்னு
தெனமும் தெனமும் திக்கு
திக்குன்னு ஹார்ட்டு லப்பு
டப்புன்னு எனக்கு அடிக்கது
Heart pounding nervously!
Every single day!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Bakku Bakkunu from the Tamil movie Thodraa (2018) is an energetic track expressing the hyperactive joy and nervous excitement of a man whose crush has accepted his love. His heart beats wildly and his brain feels like it is bursting with overwhelming happiness. He poetically describes building a temple in his heart for her and feels capable of achieving impossible feats like bending rainbows or spinning rope out of sand now that she is in his life.
