என்னவோ செஞ்சு புட்ட
பேரன்பால சாச்சு புட்ட
என் நெஞ்ச வாங்கி புட்ட
என் நிழலாட்டம் சேந்துகிட்டா
மாட்டு கொம்பா நான் இருந்தேன்
மல்லி பூவா மாத்தி புட்டாடா
பாசக்காரி நேசக்காரி
கிளி மூக்கு செவபால கிறுக்கேத்தி போறாளே
She did something unexplainable to me
She bowled me over with her immense love
She took hold of my heart
She merged with me like my own shadow
I used to be hard like a bull's horn
She transformed me into a soft jasmine flower
Girl filled with affection, girl filled with love
With her parrot-like nose and rosy complexion, she drives me crazy as she goes
என்னவோ செஞ்சு புட்ட
பேரன்பால சாச்சு புட்ட
She did something unexplainable to me
She bowled me over with her immense love
கொஞ்ச கொஞ்சமாய்
என்னிடத்தில் நீ உன்ன வந்து சேக்குற
ஒட்டு மொத்தமா உன்னிடத்தில் நான்
என்னை தர வேண்டுற
ஆதி அந்தமாய் வாழ்ந்த வாழ்க்கய
நீயும் வந்து மாத்துற
என்னை எனக்கே புத்தம் புதுசா
காட்டி நீயும் போகுற
Bit by bit, unto me...
...you come and add yourself
And completely, unto you...
...I yearn to surrender myself
The life I lived from start to finish...
...you came along and changed it entirely
To my own self, brand new...
...you reveal me as you pass by
ஒரு வாஞ் சுருக்கா நீ முடியுற
உசுரு முழுக்க நீ நெறையுற
மழை அடிக்கையிலே வெயில் அடிக்கிறதே
மன குகையில அலை அடிக்கிற
குருதி வழிஞ்சு உசுரும் விலக்க
You fold yourself up like a compact sky
You fill up my whole soul completely
Sunlight shines right while rain falls
Waves break inside the deep cave of my mind
Even if blood flows out and life fades away...
எந்த பக்கமும் நீ இருப்பதால்
நூறு கண்கள் கேக்குற
ஏழு ஜென்மத்தை இந்த ஜென்மத்தில்
வாழ்ந்து விட பாக்குற
கட்டி போடுற கண்ணு ரெண்டுல
கூடு கட்ட ஏங்குற
மெட்டி போலதான் சுத்தி கிடந்து
உன் புருசன் ஆகுறேன்
...because you are on every side of me...
...I wish I had a hundred eyes to behold you
Seven lifetimes within this single life...
...she seeks to make us live through
With her pair of captivating eyes...
...she longs to build a nest for us
Wrapped around you tightly like a toe ring...
...I become your loving husband
கொடுக்கான் புளிய நான் வலையுறேன்
ரெட்ட சுழியா நான் சுழலறேன்
இமை அசைகிறதே இசை பிறக்கிறது
புது பறவைய மனம் பறக்குதே
எனக்குள் ஒழிஞ்ச உசுரு நீயே
I bend soft like a pliable creeper stem
I swirl around like a double whirlpool
As her eyelashes flutter, music is born
My mind flies free like a brand new bird
You are the soul hidden deep within me
என் செல்ல ராக்கச்சியே
பேசி என் நெஞ்ச நீ சாச்சியே
என் மேல கண்ணு வச்சு
என் உசுரு எல்லாம் தேன் வச்சியே
மாட்டு கொம்பா நான் இருந்தேன்
மல்லி பூவா மாத்தி புட்ட
பாசக்காரி நேசக்காரி
கிளி மூக்கு செவப்பால கிறுக்கேத்தி போறாளே
My beloved darling girl
By just talking, you swayed my heart
Casting your gaze upon me...
...you filled my entire life with sweet honey
I used to be hard like a bull's horn
She transformed me into a soft jasmine flower
Girl filled with affection, girl filled with love
With her parrot-like nose and rosy complexion, she drives me crazy as she goes

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Ninnu Vilayadu expresses the overwhelmed joy and deep emotional transformation of a man swept off his feet by his beloved. He reflects on how he used to be tough and unyielding, like a bull's horn, but her tender affection transformed him into something soft and fragrant, like a jasmine flower. She fills his thoughts, shapes his identity, and gives new meaning to his existence. The song captures intense romantic devotion where every gesture of the beloved—her glance, her flutter of eyelashes, her voice—creates magic and music in his life. He envisions spending multiple lifetimes of joy within a single life with her, surrendering his entire heart and soul to her endearing presence.

Poetic devices
Simile (Upamai)
“Mattu kombaa naan irunthen / Malli poova maathi putta”
Contrasts the protagonist's earlier hard nature (bull's horn) with his current soft, tender nature (jasmine flower) induced by love.
Metaphor (Uruvagham)
“Mana kugaiyila alai adikira”
Metaphorically compares the inner mind to a cave where emotional waves crash.
Monai (Initial Alliteration)
“Mazhai adikaiyila veyil adikirathe / Mana kugaiyila alai adikira”
Repetition of the initial 'Ma' sound in consecutive lines creates a rhythmic musical cadence.
Edhugai (Second Letter Rhyme)
“Koduka puliya naan valaiyuren / Retta suliya nan suzhaluren”
The second consonant sound 'd' is repeated in 'Koduka' and 'Retta' across lines to maintain poetic meter.
