Hey Umaiyaal
Don't leave me and go
With your eyelids
Don't kill my heart
ஒரே ஒரு தேநீர்
சந்திப்பில் என்னை
இழுத்துவிட்டாய் அடி
மின்சார விழியால்
கடத்தி விட்டாய்
In just one tea meeting
You dragged me in
Oh girl, with electric eyes
You kidnapped me
ஓ மழை விட்ட
தெருவை போல மயக்கி
விட்டாய் நீ என்னை துடிக்க
வைத்தாய் ஓ
Oh.. like a street after the rain stops
You mesmerized me
You made my heart throb.. oh
ஹே உமையாள்

ஓ நெஞ்சம்
உருகுதே நாட்கள்
நீளுதே புவி ஈர்ப்பு
விசை கூட நேர்
எதிர் ஆனதே
Oh, my heart is melting
The days are stretching longer
Even the force of gravity
Has reversed its direction
ஓ மோகம்
திமிறுதே தூக்கம்
தொலைந்ததே புதன்
இரவு போலே கரைந்து
போனதே
Oh, desire is growing wild
My sleep is lost
Like a Wednesday night
It has dissolved away
ஓ ஓ ஏன்
நின்று போகிறேன்
உன் மீது சாய்கிறேன்
அன்பே நீ என்ன மாயம்
செய்தாய்
Oh.. oh.. why do I stand frozen?
I lean upon you
My love, what kind of
Magic did you perform?
கொஞ்சம்
வானம் கொஞ்சம்
காதல் என்று கரைகிறேன்
A bit of sky
A bit of love
Saying so, I am melting away
{ ஓ ஓ ஹே உமையாள்
ஹே உமையாள் என்னை
விட்டு செல்லாதே உன்
கண் இமையால் என்
நெஞ்சத்தை கொல்லாதே } (2)

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Hey Umaiyaal' is a soulful romantic track from the movie Urumeen (2015). The song expresses the protagonist's profound infatuation and emotional vulnerability after falling in love. Addressing his beloved as 'Umaiyaal', he begs her not to walk away or overwhelm his heart with her intoxicating glances. A brief, casual encounter over a cup of tea completely turns his life around, leaving him captivated and spellbound. The lyricism vividly captures the unsettling yet sweet side effects of love: time seems to stretch, sleep disappears, and even fundamental laws of physics like gravity feel altered. He feels entirely helpless against her charms, feeling as though he is melting into a mix of endless sky and love.
