ஹான்....ஆஆ...ஊ....
ஹே பெண்ணே என் நெஞ்சில்
சாய்ந்து சாய்க்கிறாய்
நீ அருகில் புரியாத
மாயம் செய்கிறாய்
Haan…aaa…uuu..
Hey girl, in my heart,
You lean and make me fall over.
When you are near, an incomprehensible
Magic you perform.
உன்னை போலவே நான் இங்கே
மயங்கி கிறங்கி தான் போனேனே
போதையாக தான் ஆனேனே
தள்ளாடும் ஜீவனே
Just like you, I too here
Have swooned and become completely dazed,
I have become intoxicated,
My soul is now stumbling.
ஜன்னல் ஓரமாய் முன்னாலே
ஹே மின்னல் போலவே வந்தாயே
விண்ணை தாண்டி ஒரு சொர்க்கத்தை
மண்ணில் எங்குமே தந்தாயே
By the window sill, right before me,
Hey, you arrived like a flash of lightning!
A heaven beyond the skies,
You gave to me everywhere on earth.
விழியே நீங்கி நீ விலகாதே
நொடியும் என் மனம் தாங்காதே
என்ன நேருமோ தெரியாதே
என் ஜீவன் ஏங்குதே
Oh my sight, please do not move away,
My heart cannot bear even a second of separation,
I don't know what might happen,
My soul yearns for you.
..................................................
ஹா
என் உயிரை வதைத்திடும்
அழகி நீ
என் இதயத்தில் அமர்ந்திடும்
அரசி நீ
என் உடலினில் நதியாய் ஓடும்
உதிரம் நீயடி
Haa….
You torture my soul,
Oh beautiful woman!
Seated on the throne of my heart,
You are the queen.
Flowing like a river in my body,
You are my very blood, my dear!
உன் சிரிப்பினில் கவிதைகள்
கலங்குதே
உன் மொழிகளில் இசைகளும்
தோற்குதே
உன் இரு விழி மின்னல் ஏந்த
வானம் ஏங்குதே..
In your smile, poems
Get confused and lose their clarity,
In your words, even music
Admits defeat.
To catch the lightning in your two eyes,
The sky itself yearns..
உனக்குள் எந்தன்
காதல் காண்கிறேன்
வெளியில் சொல்ல
வார்த்தைகள் தேவையா
இருந்தும் உன் இதழ்கள்
அந்த வார்த்தை சொல்லுமா
Within you, my
Love I see.
To express it aloud,
Are words really needed?
Even so, will your lips
Utter those words?
.....................................
குருவி போலவே என் உள்ளம்
தத்தி தாவுதே உன்னாலே
குழந்தை போலவே என் கால்கள்
சுத்தி திரியுதே பின்னாலே
Like a little bird, my heart
Hops and leaps because of you.
Like a innocent child, my feet
Wander around following behind you.
தீயை போலவே என் தேகம்
பத்தி எரியுதே தன்னாலே
அருவி போலவேஆனந்தம்
நில்லாமல் பாயுதே
Like fire, my body
Catches flame and burns on its own.
Like a waterfall, bliss
Flows ceaselessly.
ஹே பெண்ணே என் நெஞ்சில்
சாய்ந்து சாய்க்கிறாய்
நீ அருகில் புரியாத
மாயம் செய்கிறாய்
ஓஹோ...ஓஹோ...ஓஹோ..ஓஓ...
Hey girl, in my heart,
You lean and make me fall over.
When you are near, an incomprehensible
Magic you perform…
Ohoo…ohoo…ohoooooo…..

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'High On Love' (Hey Pennae) from Pyaar Prema Kaadhal captures the intoxicating, euphoric feeling of being completely enamored by someone. The protagonist expresses how his lover's presence feels like magic, inducing a sense of dazed bliss akin to intoxication. She arrives like lightning to create a heaven on earth for him, occupying his heart as its absolute queen and flowing through his veins like blood. The lyricism vividly paints love's transforming power: the lover's smile outshines poetry, her voice humbles music, and her gaze makes even the sky envious. The protagonist's heart bounds like a bird and follows her like a child, celebrating the overwhelmed, joyous, and sweet agony of deep romantic passion.
