My sweet little rogue,
You clever lady,
You dug into my heart
And entered it, girl!
In my world,
You are pure gold.
Because of you, I too
Have become bold.
என் செல்ல கேடி
கில்லாடி லேடி
என் நெஞ்ச தோண்டி
வந்திட்டியாடி
என்னோடு வேல்டில்
நீ தான் கோல்டு
உன்னாலே நானும்
ஆனேன் போல்டு

வாழ்க்கை உன்ன பாத்து
வளையுது யாரு நீ
என்னோட அலப்பட நீ

In praise of your beauty.
Why does my climate change
In deep thoughts of you?
ஹம்மிங் :
.................................
Why do you attack me
Without any sword or blood?
Unnecessarily locking me up,
Don't kill your desires,
Don't kill them, don't kill them, you!
பூபாளமும்
ஆலாபனை பாடும்
உன் அழகிலே
என் வானிலை ஏன் மாறுதோ
உன் ஆழ் நினைப்புல
Are you a sorceress?
Are you a sorceress?
The one who entered my life,
You are a massive wave!
ஏனோ நீ தாக்குற
கத்தி ரத்தம் ஏதும் இல்லாமலே
வீணா தாள் பூட்டுற
உன் ஆசைய வேணா
கொல்லாதே கொல்லாதே நீ
A life without you...
Why live such a life here?
Even across lifetimes,
Will you come to me?
மாயாவியா நீ
மாயாவியா நீ
என் வாழ்வில் நுழைஞ்சா
பேராளி நீ
Why did my unbending heart lean
Into your unalterable relationship?
It doesn't feel like enough,
Come close every single day.
நீ இல்ல வாழ்வ
வாழ்ந்திங்கு எதற்கு
ஜென்மங்கள் கடந்து
வருவாயா நீ
From now on, because of you,
My longings will be quenched.
Your desires will grow,
My path will change, it will change,
Because of you, it heals...
My heart heals through your love.
சாயா மனம்
ஏன் சாய்ந்ததோ
மாற உன் உறவிலே
போதும் என நீ தோனல
நாளும் வா அருகிலே
My sweet little rogue,
You clever lady,
You dug into my heart
And entered it, girl!
In my world,
You are pure gold.
Because of you, I too
Have become bold.
தீரும் உன்னாலே இனி
என் தாபங்கள்
கூடும் உன் ஆசைகள்
மாறும் என் பாதை மாறும்
உன்னால் ஆறும்
என் நெஞ்சம் உன் காதலால்
Oh girl, why is it that
The moment I see you, things change here?
My equilibrium...
Seeing you, my life
Bends towards you; who are you?
You are my boundless wave of emotion,
My life!
Come, come, my flower.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'En Chella Kedi' from the 2024 film 'Black' is an upbeat and soulful romantic track expressing a lover's intense fascination with his partner. The protagonist playfully addresses his beloved as a clever, sweet rogue who has completely shaken his world and brought out a bolder version of himself. He describes her presence as a mysterious force—like a sorceress or a powerful tidal wave—that subtly bends his life's path towards her and fills his heart with healing love across lifetimes. Composed and penned by Sam C.S. with vocals by Kapil Kapilan and Ranina Reddy, the song balances playful slang with poetic depth, contrasting the tranquil morning ragas and metaphoric weather changes with the fiery impact of passion.
