Hey my love, my dear love,
Look at me...
Can there ever be a flaw in your love?
Separation is only meant for others,
I am the one who lives in your closeness.
Just showing some random path,
and leaving me behind,
please do not walk away.
You alone, as my companion on the way,
are what I need forever.
Say something... let the shyness fade.
Calling out my name...
(Calling out my name...)
Call me!
(Call me, call me!)
For me to draw closer...
(For me to draw closer...)
is what must happen now.
(It must, it truly must happen now!)
Hey my love, my dear love,
Look at me...
Can there ever be a flaw in your love?
Separation is only meant for others,
I am the one who lives in your closeness.
Why carry in the depths of our hearts
such a heavy burden?
Wondering who is to blame
is such a pity.
Every single time,
a sweet daze
comes and goes between both of us.
Say something... let the shyness fade.
Calling out my name...
(Calling out my name...)
Call me!
(Call me, call me!)
For me to draw closer...
(For me to draw closer...)
is what must happen now.
(It must, it truly must happen now!)
Hey my love, my dear love,
Look at me...
Can there ever be a flaw in your love?
It is only the distance between us that is shrinking,
I am the one who lives in your closeness.
Just showing some random path,
and leaving me behind,
please do not walk away.
You alone, as my companion on the way,
are what I need forever.
Say something... let the shyness fade.
Calling out my name...
(Calling out my name...)
Call me!
(Call me, call me!)
For me to draw closer...
(For me to draw closer...)
is what must happen now.
(It must, it truly must happen now!)
To be close with you,
I truly want it, I really do!
To be close with you,
I truly want it, I really do!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Piriyamae' expresses a romantic dialog between two lovers yearning for emotional and physical proximity. The lyrics capture the tenderness of affection where both partners acknowledge that true love overlooks all shortcomings and flaws. They encourage each other to shed shyness, call out by name, and embrace the comforting closeness that dissolves hesitation.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Monai (First-letter Alliteration)

“Hei piriyamae piriyamae”

Repetition of the 'P' sound ('piriyamae', 'piriyamae') at the start of words in the line creates a musical rhythm.

Iyaipu (End Rhyme)

“Paaradaa / Un nerukkathil pizhaippaval naanada”

The suffix ending with 'adaa' creates a pleasing rhyming effect across lines addressed to a male partner.

Muran (Phonetic Antithesis / Wordplay)

“Un piriyathil pizhaigalum yethada / Pirivugal pirarukku thaanada”

Clever wordplay and phonetic contrast between 'Piriyam' (love/affection) and 'Pirivu' (separation).
