Kannukulla dimmu dippu

Adikuthu adikuthu

Murachittu murachittu povadha

Nenjukulla lupp tapp

Vedikuthu vedikuthu

Nenappula nenappula novadha

Thimirula tappu tippu

Adikuthu adikuthu

Adangidu adangidu aadatha

Kitta vara tappu tippu

Adaikuthu adaikuthu

Veruppula veruppula paarkaadha

Kombu seeval angel neeyae

Vambu venaam podi paeiyae

Sonna kelu nanum rowdy thaan

Kannorama marantha

Kanneerthaan karantha

Konja nanja kaayam.. aarathae

Neeyum vittu ponaa

Aayiduven veena

Thitta thitta kovam.. theeradhae

Solla vandha sorry ellam

Solla solla podhavilla

Kaiya kaala kejurenae pon maanae

Kaala pokkil paarthathellaam

Konja konja pattu pogum

Kooda nillu kaalam ellaam poonthaenae

Maanae…

My eyes keep flickering on and off,

Beating and flashing continuously,

Don't glare at me and walk away,

Inside my chest, lub-dub,

My heart is pounding and bursting,

Don't let these thoughts hurt so much,

With sheer arrogance, a wild beat

Strikes hard again and again,

Calm down, settle down, don't act up,

When you come near, a sudden panic

Chokes my breath completely,

Don't look at me with endless hatred,

You are an angel with horns,

I don't want trouble, go away, you demon,

Listen to me, I'm a tough guy too,

The tears forgotten at the corner of my eyes,

You drew them all out of me,

This painful wound will not heal,

If you leave me and go away,

I will be completely ruined,

No matter how much you scold, your anger doesn't end,

All the apologies I came to offer

Are never enough, no matter how much I say,

I'm begging at your feet, my golden deer,

Everything we experienced over time

Will slowly wither and fade,

We couldn't stay together for life, my sweet flower nectar,

My beloved deer...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song captures a lover's playful yet desperate plea to his angry partner. He expresses the intense emotional and physical turmoil he experiences—his heart pounding frantically and his pulse racing—whenever she glares at him or walks away in frustration. Comparing her to a fiery, sharp-horned angel, he playfully boasts while pleading with her not to look at him with hatred. As the lyrics progress, the tone shifts into a deeper emotional plea. He acknowledges his vulnerability, admitting that past emotional wounds remain unhealed and that he would be lost without her. Begging for forgiveness, he asks her to stay by his side forever, trusting that time will heal their conflicts.
