ஏய் அழகியே! ஏய் அழகியே!
ஏய் அழகியே! ஏய் அழகியே!
Oh beautiful girl, oh beautiful girl
Oh beautiful girl, oh beautiful girl
ஏய் அழகியே! ஏய் அழகியே!
நீயும் நானும் நிஜமா?
காற்றலையிலே கால் பறக்குதே
நீயே எந்தன் வரமா?
Oh beautiful girl, oh beautiful girl
Are you and I truly real?
My feet fly in the breeze
Are you a boon granted to me?
எதோ கிளையில் காலம் வரையில்
கிளிகள் இரண்டாய் வாழ்வோம்
எதோ நதியின் காதல் அலையில்
திலையில் எறும்பாய் போவோம்
On some branch, until the end of time
We shall live like a pair of parrots
In the love waves of some river
We shall float like ants riding on a leaf
இந்த கூச்சல் நடுவே
நீயும் நானும்
மௌனம் என்றாவோம்
பேச மலராவோம்
Amidst all this noise and chaos
You and I
Shall become silence itself
Shall bloom into speaking flowers
ஹோ ஹோ ஓ ஹோ ஹோ ஓ
Hoo hoo oo hoo hoo oo
வளையல் உடையும் பொன்னேரம்
ஒரு வலையில் விழுதே என் வானம்
விளையும் இளமை கண்ணோரம்
ஒரு வளைவில் தொலையும் என் வீரம்
In the golden hour as bangles clink and break
My sky falls into a trapped net
Youthful grace blossoming at the corner of your eyes
My bravery vanishes at a single curve of yours
ஓ மாயாவி போலாகி
என்னை விழுங்குகிறாய்
சேயாகி சிலநேரம்
மடியில் உறங்குகிறாய்
Oh, becoming like an enchantress
You swallow me whole
Becoming a little child at times
You sleep comfortably in my lap
நீதானே காயம் நீயே காவல்
எதும் நீயடி எல்லாமும் நீயடி
You yourself are the wound
You yourself are the protection
You are my everything, my girl
You are my all in all, my girl
ஹோ ஹோ ஓ ஹோ ஹோ ஓ
Hoo hoo oo hoo hoo oo
ஏய் அழகியே! ஏய் அழகியே!
நீயும் நானும் நிஜமா?
காற்றலையிலே கால் பறக்குதே
நீயே எந்தன் வரமா?
Oh beautiful girl, oh beautiful girl
Are you and I truly real?
My feet fly in the breeze
Are you a boon granted to me?
Ey azhagiyae ey azhagiyae
Oh beautiful girl, oh beautiful girl
Ey azhagiyae ey azhagiyae
Oh beautiful girl, oh beautiful girl
Ey azhagiyae ey azhagiyae
Oh beautiful girl, oh beautiful girl
Neeyum naanum nijamaa
Are you and I truly real?
Kaatralayilae kaal parakkudhae
My feet fly in the breeze
Neeyae endhan varama
Are you a boon granted to me?
Edho kilayil kalam varayil
On some branch, until the end of time
Kiligal irandaai vaazhvom
We shall live like a pair of parrots
Edho nadhiyin kaadhal alayil
In the love waves of some river
Ilayil erumbaai povom
We shall float like ants riding on a leaf
Indha koochal naduvae
Amidst all this noise and chaos
Neeyum nannum
You and I
Mounam endraavom
Shall become silence itself
Pesa malaraavom
Shall bloom into speaking flowers
Hoo hoo oo hoo hoo oo
Hoo hoo oo hoo hoo oo
Valaiyal udaiyum ponneram
In the golden hour as bangles clink and break
Oru valaiyil vizhudhae en vaanam

Youthful grace blossoming at the corner of your eyes
Oru valaivil tholaiyum en veeram…
My bravery vanishes at a single curve of yours
Oo maayaavi polaagi
Oh, becoming like an enchantress
Ennai vizhungugiraai
You swallow me whole
Male :Seyaagi silaneram

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Ey Azhagiyae' from the movie 'Thugs' (2023) is a soulful romantic track that conveys the dreamlike, surreal bliss of being deeply in love. The song expresses a lover's sense of wonder, asking whether this intense emotional connection is real or just a beautiful illusion. The lyrics paint poetic imagery of two lovers retreating into their own quiet world—comparing themselves to a pair of parrots on a branch and ants safely navigating a river on a leaf, finding serenity amidst the chaotic noise of the world. The emotional arc highlights the sweet paradoxes of love. The woman is portrayed as a mysterious sorceress whose charm easily disarms the man's bravery, yet she is also like an innocent child sleeping peacefully in his lap. Ultimately, she represents both his vulnerability (the wound) and his ultimate solace (the protector), becoming the singular center of his universe.
