என்னில் நீ நொழைந்தாய்
என்னை மறந்தேன்
உயிராய் கலந்தாய்
என்னை இழந்தேனே
You entered into me,
And I forgot myself...
You merged with my soul,
And I lost my very being.
காதலின் மோகத்தில்
திளைத்திடும் வேலை
இதயத்தை பறித்து நீ
திருடி சென்றாய்
In the infatuation of love,
At the moment of complete bliss,
You snatched my heart away,
And stole it.
கண்ணும் கண்ணும்
கண்ணும் கொள்ளையடிக்குதே
மனம் வெடி ஒன்று
வெடித்ததில் செதருதே
இது உயிர் வரை தேடி சென்று ஒரசுதே
கண்ணும் கண்ணும் கொள்ளையடிக்குதே
Eye to eye,
Our eyes are robbing each other's hearts.
Like a bomb in my mind,
Shattering everything as it explodes.
This feeling travels deep to search and touch my soul,
Our eyes are robbing each other's hearts.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song captures the overwhelming and exhilarating experience of falling deeply in love at first sight. The lyrics convey a feeling of complete surrender where the protagonist feels their lover has entered their soul and stolen their heart away. The core metaphor of 'eyes robbing each other' describes the intense, unspoken romantic connection exchanged through a single gaze. As the song progresses, the intensity builds up using high-energy beats and repetitive phrasing, likening the rush of emotions to an explosive reaction inside the mind that reverberates all the way down to the soul. It reflects the euphoric chaos of romance within the film's playful, fast-paced atmosphere.

Trivia
The phrase 'Kannum Kannum Kollaiyadithaal' is famously borrowed from a classic track written by Vairamuthu and composed by A.R. Rahman for Mani Ratnam's iconic film 'Thalapathi' (1991). Director Desingh Periyasamy used this memorable line as both the title of his 2020 film and as a central lyrical theme in the soundtrack. Since the movie revolves around clever tricksters and scam artists, the phrase 'stealing/robbing' creates a double meaning connecting the romantic plot with the heist storyline.
