ஆ ஆஆ என்
ஆசை எதிராளியே ஏய்
ஏய் என்னென்ன செய்வாய்
நீயே என் ஆசை எதிராளியே
ஏய் ஏய் என்னென்ன
செய்வாய் நீயே
Aah… aaaa…
Oh my desired adversary, hey hey,
What all will you do yourself?
Oh my desired adversary, hey hey,
What all will you do yourself?
உன் விலையென்ன
விலையென்ன வாங்குவேன்
நீ தலை தாழ்த்தி நின்றால்
நான் வாழ்த்துவேன்
What is your price, what is your price?
I will buy you.
If you bow your head low
And stand, I will bless you.
ஹே ராணி
நீயும் சொல்ல கூந்தல்
மீது சூட்டி கொள்ள நான்
ஒன்றும் ரோஜா அல்ல
போ போ போ விலகி மெல்ல
Hey queen, for you to say,
To wear on your tresses,
I am no rose flower.
Go, go, go, move away slowly.
வால் வீசி
பூவை கொல்ல நான்
ஒன்றும் கோழை அல்ல
திமிரே வோ வோ வோ
வோ
To brandish a sword and kill a flower,
I am no coward.
Oh arrogant one!
Woh woh woh woh…
என் ஆசை
எதிராளியே ஏய்
ஏய் என்னென்ன
செய்வாய் நீயே
Oh my desired adversary, hey hey,
What all will you do yourself?
ஹோ ஹோ
ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ
ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ
Ho… ho…hoo…hooo
Ho… ho…hoo…hooo
ஆயிரத்தில்
ஒருவன் உன்னை
ஆணவத்தின் மடியில்
வைத்து ஆடைகளில்
தீ பரவ செய்வேனே
One man in a thousand, putting you
In the lap of pride,
I will make fire spread across your clothes!
போதும் இந்த
சின்ன கனவு போர்க்களத்தில்
இல்லை உறவு உன்னை இனி
உன்னை இனி வெல்வேனே
Enough of this little dream,
There are no relationships on the battlefield.
You, from now on, you,
I will conquer!
சிறையில் வைத்து
உன்னை சிதிலம் ஆக்கி
தினம் எனது கால்
அடியில் கிடைத்தவா
Imprisoning you,
And destroying you into ruins,
Daily under my feet,
Shall I lay you down?
உடைகள் மூடி
வைத்த தடைகள் நீக்கி
விட்டு உனது ஆளுமையை
அடக்கவா
Removing the barriers
That clothes keep covered,
Your dominance and personality,
Shall I subdue?
கை தட்டி
கூப்பிட்டு பார் கார்மேகம்
தூறல் தருமா கண்ணே நீ
ஆணை இட்டால் ஆகாயம்
தரையில் விழுமா
Try clapping your hands and calling out,
Will dark rainclouds give a drizzle?
Darling, if you give a command,
Will the sky fall to the ground?
காற்றாடி
வெட்டுப்படலாம்
காற்றாலே கட்டுப்படுமா
அடியே நீ போ போ போ
A kite may get cut down,
But can it be controlled by the wind itself?
Hey girl,
You go, go, go!
நீ எனக்கு இல்லை
என்றால் நான் உனக்கு
வேண்டாம் என்றால்
யாரிடமும் சேர்ந்து
விட இம்சிப்பேனோ
If you are not mine,
If you do not want me,
Would I torment you by demanding
That you shouldn't join anyone else?
தேன் கொடுக்கும்
மலரும் உண்டு ஊன்
கெடுக்கும் மலரும் உண்டு
நீ எவளோ தூயவளோ
சந்திப்பேன்
There are flowers that give honey,
And there are flowers that destroy flesh.
Which one are you, or how pure are you?
I shall meet you.
எனக்கு
வேண்டியதை எனக்குள்
தூண்டியதை நிகழ்த்த
காத்திருக்கும் அடிமை நீ
What I require,
What has been stirred inside me,
Waiting to make it happen,
You are a slave!
எனது கைத்தளத்தை
எனது தேன் குடத்தை சுமக்க
வேண்டி நிற்கும் பதுமை நீ
To hold my hands,
To carry my pot of honey,
Standing waiting to bear it,
You are a doll!
ஹே பெண்ணே
உன்னை கண்டு பரிதாபம்
என்றும் உண்டு அழகான
பூவுக்குள்ளே அறிவில்லை
ஐயோ இன்று
Hey woman, seeing you,
I always feel pity.
Inside a beautiful flower,
Alas, today there is no wisdom!
ஆசைகள் தீரும்
அன்று ஆட்டங்கள் முடியும்
இங்கு சிலையே ஹே ஹே
ஹே ஹே
ஆ
The day desires come to an end,
The games will end right here,
Oh statue!
Hey hey hey hey…
Female : Aaah…
Aah…aaaa…

Nee thalai thaazhthi
If you bow your head low
Nindraal naan vaazhththuven
And stand, I will bless you.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'En Aasai Ethiraliye' is a high-octane duet centered around a battle of egos, attraction, and dominance between two strong-willed individuals. The male protagonist treats love as a conquest and a war where he seeks to subdue his partner's pride, while the female protagonist mockingly refutes his arrogance, asserting her independence and pointing out that love cannot be bought or commanded like a subjugated territory.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uruvagamm)
“En aasai ethiraliyae aei aei”
Refers to the romantic interest as 'En aasai ethiraliye' (my desired adversary), framing attraction as a strategic war.
Rhetorical Question
“Kannae nee aanai ittaal Aagaayam thariyil vizhuma”
Uses hyperbolic natural impossibilities to mock the male protagonist's exaggerated ego.
Contrast / Antimetabole (Edhirinaai)
“Thaen kodukkum malarum undu Oon kedukkum malarum undu”
Contrasts life-giving flowers with lethal ones to depict the dual nature of desire and danger.

Trivia
Composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja for the 2010 film 'Theeradha Vilaiyattu Pillai', this track features stylish vocals by Haricharan and Bella Raj. Pa. Vijay's lyrics capture the playful antagonism between the lead character Karthik (played by Vishal) and his headstrong female counterpart.
