என்ன தவம் செய்தேன்
என்னை தேடி வந்தாய்
அக மகிழ்வென ஆகிறாய்....
What penance did I perform,
That you came searching for me?
You have become the deep joy within my heart...
வீணை தந்தி என்னில்
வீசும் தென்றல் நீயோ
இசை அறிவித்து போகிறாய்....
On the strings of my inner veena,
Are you the blowing gentle breeze,
Announcing music as you pass by?
மாயா நீயே
என் இதழ் புதை வினா
ஓயா ஓயா....ஆ....
விழி முனை விழா
You are an illusion...
A riddle buried in my lips,
Unceasingly and endlessly...
A celebration at the tip of my eyes.
ஹே நல்லவை அல்லவை என்பவை நீங்கி
பல்லவி பல்லவி ஆனது நெஞ்சே
ஓ யெஹ் ஓ யெஹ்
பல்லவி பல்லவி ஆனது நெஞ்சே
Hey, leaving behind notions of good and bad,
My heart has turned into a musical refrain.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
My heart has turned into a musical refrain.
கல்லென கல்லென ஊறிய உள்ளம்
சில்லென சில்லென பாயுது பெண்ணே
ஓ யெஹ் ஓ யெஹ்
சில்லென சில்லென பாயுது பெண்ணே
My heart that had hardened like stone,
Is now flowing with a cool splash, oh girl!
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

On the strings of my inner veena,
Are you the blowing gentle breeze,
Announcing music as you pass by?
உன் பார்வை சரம்
நீங்காத வரம்
உன் பாதத் தடம்
என் பூமி படம்
The stream of your glances,
Is an everlasting boon.
The trail of your footprints,
Is the map of my world.
குழந்தை ஒளித்து வைக்கும் பொம்மையாய்
காதல் துரத்தி கொண்டு பார்த்திடும்
தினமும் முகம் மறையும் புள்ளியில்
காற்றில் நரை விழும்
என் தாபம் என்னை தோய்த்திடும்
Like a toy hidden away by a child,
Love chases and watches over us.
At the spot where the face vanishes every day,
Gray hair falls in the wind,
And my deep longing drenches me.
ஹே நல்லவை அல்லவை என்பவை நீங்கி
பல்லவி பல்லவி ஆனது நெஞ்சே

Is now flowing with a cool splash, oh girl!
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Is now flowing with a cool splash, oh girl!
உன் பேரை மனம் ரீங்காரம் இடும்
உன்னாலே வரும் சிங்கார சினம்
My mind continuously hums your name,
Beautiful, playful anger arises because of you.
உயிரில் தங்கி விடும் ஏக்கங்கள்
நிழலின் கருமை என பூத்திடும்
அழகில் வின்மினி தொடும் ஆற்றலை
பேதை புறா பெரும்
என் காதல் என்னை ஏந்திடும்
Longings that linger deep within the soul,
Bloom like the dark hue of a shadow.
The power to touch fireflies in beauty,
A naive dove shall receive.
My love will hold and lift me up.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This romantic song captures the protagonist's sense of wonder and overwhelming gratitude upon finding true love. Feeling unworthy yet blessed, he wonders what great spiritual penance he must have performed in a past life to earn the love of a person so extraordinary. He describes how her presence softens his once hardened heart and transforms all moral or binary thoughts into a sweet, melodic refrain that echoes within his soul.
