ஏனோ உயிர்
மேலே உயிர் மோதியதே
காதல் கிளை தாவி குயில்
கூவியதே
For some reason, upon my soul
Another soul collided
Hopping through the branches of love
The cuckoo bird sang
நீ இங்கு நானாய்
ஆக நான் இங்கு நாமாய்
போக தேகமே ஏதோ பேச
பேச காய்ச்சல் ஆனேனே
As you become me here
As I transform into 'us' here
As the body keeps whispering things
I caught a fever
ஏனோ உயிர்
மேலே உயிர் மோதியதே
காதல் கிளை தாவி குயில்
கூவியதே
For some reason, upon my soul
Another soul collided
Hopping through the branches of love
The cuckoo bird sang
ஏனோ குமிழ்
மேலே அலை மோதியதே
காதல் தடுமாறி சுழல்
மூழ்கியதே
For some reason, upon the water bubble
A wave collided
Love stumbled
And drowned in the whirlpool
தீ மீது தீயே வேக
யார் மீது நானும் மோத
காமனே ஏதோ கூவ கூவ
பூவாய் ஆனேனே
As fire burns upon fire
Whom do I collide with?
As Cupid keeps calling out
I turned into a delicate flower
ஏனோ குமிழ்
மேலே அலை மோதியதே
காதல் தடுமாறி சுழல்
மூழ்கியதே ஓஹோ
ஹோ
For some reason, upon the water bubble
A wave collided
Love stumbled
And drowned in the whirlpool
Ohhooo..hoooo
Ohhhoo… ohhhoo…
Ohhhoo… ohhhoo…

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This romantic song from Punnagai Poove captures the intense physical and emotional sensations of falling deeply in love. The lyrics describe love as a sudden collision of souls, comparing the romantic connection to a wave striking a bubble or a cuckoo calling out from branches. The protagonist experiences love as an overwhelming surge of heat, fever, and merging of identities where two individuals lose their separate selves to become one. The imagery shifts between passionate fire, drowning in whirlpools of emotion, and blossoming under the influence of Kaaman (Cupid).
