Why did you break my heart to pieces?

I will give you another heart, just for you to break it again.

Oh... Hosanna Hosanna... ooh

Oh... Hosanna Hosanna... ooh

At that time, in the evening twilight, when our eyes met,

The moment that girl with beautiful eyes walked by, something happened to me.

Oh, it felt as if I touched the sky,

And all of my father's scoldings vanished into thin air.

Hosanna! She just walked past my doorstep,

Hosanna! Without doing anything at all,

I am completely shaken,

I am shattered to pieces,

Now that she is gone, I go searching for my heart.

Hosanna...

Male: I came so close to life Female: Hosanna...

I stood so close to death Female: Hosanna...

If you ask why, I would say it is love Female: Hosanna... ooh

Everybody wanna know, be like, be like,

I really wanna be here with you...

Is that enough to say that

We are made for each other? Is all of this Hosanna true?

Ho... Hosanna... ho...

Ho... ho... Hosanna... ho ho ho oh oh

Hoo ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho oh...

A colorful butterfly, searching for flower after flower,

Wanders here and there.

Oh, just to touch drop by drop as it passes,

A cloud, a drifting cloud,

Moves wherever it pleases.

Hosanna – Did that butterfly come?

Hosanna – Did the cloud touch you?

I become a seashell, I become a child,

I scoop you up gently in my hands and shelter you.

Hello... Hello... Hello... Hosanna

Female: Hosanna Male: Just to love me,

Female: Hosanna Male: Just to walk along with me,

Female: Hosanna Male: Even when you softly say "Hmm",

Female: Ho... Hosanna...

{Why did you break my heart to pieces?

I will give you another heart, just for you to break it} (2)

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Hosanna is a celebrated romantic track from Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa that captures the overwhelming sensation of falling in love at first sight. The protagonist, mesmerized by the heroine Jessie, describes how her mere presence alters his entire world—making him forget his everyday troubles, shattering his composure, and leaving him completely enamored. The song blends tender emotional vulnerability with exuberant joy, framing love as a transcendent experience that brings him dangerously close to both life and metaphorical death.
