{ என் கண்ணுக்குள்ள
ஒரு சிறுக்கி கட்டிபோட்டாளே
என்ன இறுக்கி மனச கட்டி
போட மறுத்தாலே ஹையோ
ஹையயோ } (2)
A young girl living inside my eyes
Has bound me tightly
Yet refuses to bind her heart to mine
Oh my, oh my!
என் காதுல
இசை போல பேசுற
உன் குரலால் எசபோல
நீயும் பேசவே எப்போவுமே
ரசிக்கிற நானே ஏதோ ஏதோ
பாடுறேன் நானே
Like sweet music in my ears
With that voice of yours speaking
Speaking so gently and divine
I, who always admires you
Am singing something in bliss
என் கண்ணுக்குள்ள
ஒரு சிறுக்கி கட்டிபோட்டாளே
என்ன இறுக்கி மனச கட்டி
போட மறுத்தாலே ஹையோ
ஹையயோ
A young girl living inside my eyes
Has bound me tightly
Yet refuses to bind her heart to mine
Oh my, oh my!
குத்தாலத்து சாரல
போல் நல்லா சிரிக்க என்
தேன் மொழி கன்னங்குழி
போதாதுன்னு என்ன
மயக்கும் உன் மை விழி
Like the refreshing drizzle of Courtallam
My sweet-spoken girl laughs so beautifully
As if her dimples weren't enchanting enough
Your kohl-lined eyes entrance me completely
கருவா பய
கனவெல்லாம் கலர் படம்
ஆனதனால முழிச்சாலும்
மெதந்தானே காதல் எனும்
பல்லாக்கு மேல
All the dreams of this dark-complexioned boy
Have now turned into a vivid color film
Floating endlessly even while wide awake
Riding atop the palanquin of love
தடுமாறும் என்
மனசு கேக்குது எப்போ
உன்ன சேர்வது மானே
பித்தானாதன் ஆகுறேன்
நானே
My stumbling heart keeps asking
When will I finally unite with you, my dear?
I am turning completely mad in love
என் கண்ணுக்குள்ள
ஒரு சிறுக்கி கட்டிபோட்டாளே
என்ன இறுக்கி மனச கட்டி
போட மறுத்தாலே ஹையோ
ஹையயோ
A young girl living inside my eyes
Has bound me tightly
Yet refuses to bind her heart to mine
Oh my, oh my!
வெக்கத்துக்கே
வெக்கம் வரும் உன் மேனி
முழு பௌர்ணமி சொக்கனுக்கே
ஆச வரும் என்ன அழகு என்
கண்மணி
Shyness itself would feel shy seeing you
Your full body shines like a full moon
Even Lord Shiva would feel desire seeing you
What stunning beauty, my beloved!
தை மாசம் தேதி
குறிக்கவா தெனம் தெனம்
கேள்வி கேக்குது உன்
நெஞ்சுல ஊஞ்சல் ஆடவே
மஞ்சக்கயிற் ஏங்கி வாடுது
Should we fix a wedding date in the month of Thai?
This question asks itself every single day
To swing like a cradle in your heart
The sacred yellow thread longs eagerly
தடுமாறும் என்
மனசு கேக்குது எப்போ
உன்ன சேர்வது மானே
பித்தானாதன் ஆகுறேன்
நானே
My stumbling heart keeps asking
When will I finally unite with you, my dear?
I am turning completely mad in love
என் கண்ணுக்குள்ள
ஒரு சிறுக்கி கட்டிபோட்டாளே
என்ன இறுக்கி மனச கட்டி
போட மறுத்தாலே ஹையோ
ஹையயோ
A young girl living inside my eyes
Has bound me tightly
Yet refuses to bind her heart to mine
Oh my, oh my!
ஒருவா சோறும்
இறங்காம ஒரு நாளுமே
உறங்காம தடுமாறும் என்
மனசு கேக்குது எப்போ
உன்ன சேர்வது மானே
பித்தானாதன் ஆகுறேன்
நானே
Without a single morsel of rice going down
Without sleeping even for a single day
My stumbling heart keeps asking
When will I finally unite with you, my dear?
I am turning completely mad in love

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song is an expressive rural romantic melody from the movie Appuchi Gramam. The protagonist sings of his overwhelming obsession with his beloved, whose beauty and voice have completely captivated him. He compares her laughter to the cool rain showers of Courtallam and her physical grace to the radiant full moon. Her presence has transformed his plain life into a colorful dream, making him feel as though he is floating on a palanquin of love. Deeply smitten, he suffers from loss of sleep and appetite, consumed entirely by thoughts of her. He eagerly anticipates marrying her in the auspicious month of Thai, wishing to tie the sacred mangalsutra around her neck. Throughout the song, he playfully laments how his heart stumbles and goes crazy with intense longing as he waits for the day they will finally be united.
