{ என்னமோ செய்தாய்
நீ என்னதான் செய்தாய் நீ } (2)
You did something to me,
Just what did you do to me?
எதிரில் யாரை
பார்க்கும் போதும் ஹோ
கண்கள் உன்னைய தானே
தேடும் கால்கள் தரையில்
இருக்கும் போதும் ம்ம்
மனசு பறந்து பார்க்க
தோன்றும்
Whenever I look at anyone in front of me, ho,
My eyes automatically search only for you.
Even when my feet are planted on the ground... mm,
My mind feels like flying high to look around.
என்னமோ செய்தாய்
நீ என்னதான் செய்தாய் நீ
You did something to me,
Just what did you do to me?
குடைகள் கையில்
இருக்கும் போதும் ம்ம் ஓ
மழையில் நனைந்து பார்க்க
தோன்றும் கொஞ்சம் நெருங்கி
பார்க்க தோன்றும் ம்ம் கொஞ்சம்
விலகி பார்க்கத் தோன்றும்
Even with umbrellas in hand, mm.. oh,
I feel like getting drenched in the rain.
I feel like looking at you closer... mm,
I feel like stepping back and looking from afar.
உன்னை பார்க்கும்
முன்னே உலகம் சிறியதடி
உன்னை பார்த்த பின்னே
உலகம் பெரியதடி ஜன்னல்
திறந்து பார்க்க வைத்தாய்
ஹோ என்னை உணர்ந்து
பார்க்க வைத்தாய்
Before seeing you, the world felt so small, my dear,
After seeing you, the world feels so vast, my dear.
You made me open the window and look out, ho,
You made me realize and look into myself.
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஓ
ஓ ஓ நீ பார்க்கும் பார்வை
ஒருநாள் நான் பார்க்கும்
பார்வையாகும்
Ho oh oh... The way you look at the world will one day,
Become the way I see everything too.
எப்படி எப்படி எப்படி
எனக்குள் வந்தாய் எந்தன்
நெஞ்சை கேட்டுப் பார்த்தேன்
எத்தனை எத்தனை எத்தனை
தடவைக் கேட்டும் பதில்கள்
இல்லையே
How, how, how did you enter within me?
I asked my own heart,
No matter how many times I ask, there are no answers.
நதியில் மிதிக்கும்
விளக்கு எல்லாம் நதியின்
ஆழம் தெரியவில்லை
தெரிவதில்லை காதல்
எந்த நிமிடம் பிறக்கும்
கடவுள் மனதும்
அறிவதில்லை
All the lamps floating on a river,
Do not know the depth of the river.
At which exact moment love is born,
Even God's mind does not know.
என்னமோ செய்தாய்
நீ என்னதான் செய்தாய் நீ
You did something to me,
Just what did you do to me?
..................................
குழந்தை சிரிப்பினிலே
உள்ளம் திருடுகிறாய் மெதுவாய்
மயில் இறகாய் மனதை வருடுகிறாய்
காலம் உறைந்து போக வைத்தாய்
கனவில் கரைந்து போக வைத்தாய்
With a child's smile, you steal my heart,
Gently like a peacock feather, you stroke my mind.
You made time freeze in its tracks,
You made me melt into a dream.
ஓ ஓ ஓ ஓ ஓ ஓ பூலோகம்
முழுதும் பூ பூத்து பூக்கோலம்
ஆனது உன்னாலே
Oh oh... the whole world bloomed with flowers,
And turned into a floral art because of you.
எப்படி எப்படி எப்படி
எனக்குள் வந்தாய் எந்தன்
நெஞ்சை கேட்டுப் பார்த்தேன்
எத்தனை எத்தனை எத்தனை
எத்தனை தடவைக் கேட்டும்
பதில்கள் இல்லையே
How, how, how did you enter within me?
I asked my own heart,
No matter how many times I ask, there are no answers.
கண்கள் கடிதம்
போட்ட பின்னே ஹோ
கிளிகள் பறந்து வருவதில்லை
After the eyes send a letter, ho,
Parrots don't need to fly in to deliver messages.
கண்கள் விரும்பி
பார்த்த பின்னே ஓ இதயம்
முரண்டு பிடிப்பதில்லை
Once the eyes look with affection, oh,
The heart no longer stays stubborn.
என்னமோ செய்தாய்
நீ என்னதான் செய்தாய் நீ
கொஞ்சம் நெருங்கி பார்க்க
தோன்றும் ம்ம் ஓ
You did something to me,
Just what did you do to me?
I feel like looking closer, mm.. oh,
கொஞ்சம் விரும்பி
பார்க்கத் தோன்றும்
I feel like looking lovingly,
கால்கள் தரையில்
இருக்கும் போதும் ஓ ஓ
Even when my feet are on the ground, oh oh,
மனசு பறந்து
பார்க்கத் தோன்றும்
My mind feels like flying high to look around.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Ennamo Seithaai Nee' expresses the sweet bewilderment and emotional awakening caused by falling in love. The protagonist feels transformed as love alters their perception of everyday reality—making feet feel weightless, umbrellas redundant in the rain, and expanding their worldview from narrow to boundless. The lyrics playfully explore the mystery of love, comparing it to floating river lamps unaware of the river's depth and noting that even God cannot predict the precise moment love takes root in a heart.
