என்னை பந்தாடப் பிறந்தவளே
இதயம் ரெண்டாகப் பிளந்தவளே
ஓசை இல்லாமல் மலர்ந்தவளே
உயிரை கண்கொண்டு கடைந்தவளே
Oh girl born to play with my heart like a ball,
Oh girl who split my heart in two,
Aaaa... Oh girl who blossomed without a sound,
Oh girl who churned my soul with her eyes,
உன்னைக்கண்ட பின்
இந்த மண்ணை நேசித்தேன்
காலம் யாவும் காதல் கொள்ள
வாராயோ
After seeing you,
I fell in love with this earth.
Will you come to love me for all eternity?

செங்குயிலே...யே ......
சிறு வெயிலே.... சிறு வெயிலே
மண்ணிலுள்ள வளம் இன்னதின்னதென
செயற்கைக்கோள் அறியும் பெண்ணே
உன்னிலுள்ள வளம் என்னதென்னதென
உள்ளங்கை அறியும் கண்ணே
Oh red cuckoo bird...
Oh gentle sunshine... oh gentle sunshine...
What wealth lies within this earth,
A satellite might know, my girl,
What wealth lies inside of you,
My palm alone knows, my dear.
நீ அழகின் மொத்தமென்று சொல்லி
அந்த பிரம்மன் வைத்த முற்றுப்புள்ளி
செங்குயிலே செங்குயிலே
சிறு வெயிலே...யே....
வாய்திறந்து கேட்டுவிட்டேன்
வாழ்வை வாழவிடு அன்பே......
Declaring that you are the total sum of beauty,
Lord Brahma placed a final full stop.
Oh red cuckoo... oh red cuckoo...
Oh gentle sunshine...
I have asked you openly,
Let me live my life, my love... hey...
.................................................
இனியவனே ...யே ......
இணையவனே ...யே ......
உன்னைக் காணவில்லை என்னும்போது
நெஞ்சில் சின்னப் பைத்தியங்கள் பிடிக்கும்
பஞ்சு மெத்தைகளில் தூக்கமில்லை என்று
பற்கள் தலையணையைக் கடிக்கும்
Oh sweet man...
Oh my soulmate...
When I cannot see you,
Small moments of madness take over my heart.
Finding no sleep on soft cotton mattresses,
My teeth bite into the pillow.
உனைத் தொட்டுப் பார்க்க
மனம் துடிக்கும்
நெஞ்சில் விட்டுவிட்டு வெடி வெடிக்கும்
சின்னவனே ...யே ......
என்னவனே ...யே ......
மூக்குமீது மூக்கு வைத்து
நெற்றி முட்டிவிட வாராய்
My heart yearns to reach out and touch you,
Explosions keep bursting in my chest.
Oh young man...
Oh my dear...
Placing nose against nose,
Come close to touch foreheads.
என்னை பந்தாட பிறந்தவனே
இதயம் ரெண்டாகப் பிளந்தவனே
ஓசை இல்லாமல் நுழைந்தவனே
உயிரை கண்கொண்டு கடைந்தவனே
Oh man born to play with my heart like a ball,
Oh man who split my heart in two,
Aaaa... Oh man who entered without a sound,
Oh man who churned my soul with his eyes,
உன்னைக்கண்ட பின்
இந்த மண்ணை நேசித்தேன்
காலம் யாவும் காதல்கொள்ள
வாராயோ ....அன்பே....யே .......ஹே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a deeply romantic duet from the film 'Ullam Ketkumae' where two lovers express the intensity of their feelings for each other. The male and female stanzas mirror each other, illustrating how love transforms their perception of the world—making them appreciate the earth itself simply because their beloved inhabits it. The lyrics use rich, poetic imagery to depict the beloved as the ultimate creation of beauty and describe the playful madness and physical restlessness brought on by romantic longing.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor
“Antha bramman vaitha mutru pulli”
The lyricist compares the heroine's creation to Lord Brahma placing a 'full stop' (mutru pulli), metaphorically signifying that she is the absolute pinnacle and final word on beauty.
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Ennai panthada piranthavalae / Idhayam rendaaga pilanthavalae”
Both lines end with the rhyming suffix '-avalae', creating a pleasing lyrical rhythm characteristic of Tamil poetry.
Monai (First-Letter Alliteration)
“Unnil ulla valam ennadhennadhena / Ullankai ariyum kannae”
The repetition of the initial 'U' sound in 'Unnil' and 'Ullankai' forms a classic Monai alliteration.
Hyperbole
“Parkal thalaiyanaiyai kadikkum”
An exaggerated description of restless love-sickness where the lover bites the pillow due to sleeplessness.
