Idhu enna idhu enna puthu ulaga
Aanukkum penukkum thani ulaga
Uyirukkum uyirukkum mudhal iravaa
Karu paiyil kaadhal karu vuruma
Varavum selavum idhalil nigalum
Unathum enathum namathaai theriyum
Idhu enna idhu enna puthu ulaga
Aanukkum penukkum thani ulaga
Uyirukkum uyirukkum mudhal iravaa
Karu paiyil kaadhal karu vuruma
Adada urakkam iravil vizhikkum
Kanavin nadukkam inithai irukkum
Pennukkul aan vanthaal kaadhala…
Aanukkul pen vanthaal kaamama…
Nee enthan uyirukkul pathiyaa
Naan enna sivanoda jaathiya
Manasukkul poo pookkum neram thaano
Vaasathil un vaasam thaano
Idaiyil varumai nimrinthaal perumai
Ilamai ilamai inaithaal puthumai
Idhu enna idhu enna puthu ulaga
Aanukkum penukkum thani ulaga
Uyirukkum uyirukkum mudhal iravaa
Karu paiyil kaadhal karu vuruma
Kannukkul kannai vaithu paarama
Nenjukkul neeyum enna thoorama
Penukkul ennamo thonumma
Unnidam solla vantha naanama
Naanathai vittu vitta neram thaano
Vaanathai mooda varuvaiyo
Ilamai kadhavai paruvam thirakkum
Mudhal naal iravai
Maru naal aazhaikkum
Idhu enna idhu enna puthu ulaga
Aanukkum penukkum thani ulaga
Uyirukkum uyirukkum mudhal iravaa
Karu paiyil kaadhal karu vuruma
Varavum selavum idhalil nigalum
Unathum enathum namathaai theriyum
Idhu enna idhu enna puthu ulaga
Aanukkum penukkum thani ulaga
Uyirukkum uyirukkum mudhal iravaa
Karu paiyil kaadhal karu vuruma
Adada urakkam iravil vizhikkum
Kanavin nadukkam inithai irukkum
What is this, what is this brand new world?
A private world for a man and a woman.
Is this a first night between two souls?
Will love take form inside the womb?
Give and take happens upon the lips,
What is yours and mine now feels like ours.
What is this, what is this brand new world?
A private world for a man and a woman.
Is this a first night between two souls?
Will love take form inside the womb?
Oh, sleep stays awake through the night,
The trembling of dreams feels so sweet.
If a man enters a woman, is it love?
If a woman enters a man, is it desire?
With you etched inside my soul,
Am I of Lord Shiva's kind?
Is this the time a flower blooms in the heart?
In all this fragrance, is it your scent?
A slender waist holds a proud grace,
When youth joins youth, everything is brand new.
What is this, what is this brand new world?
A private world for a man and a woman.
Is this a first night between two souls?
Will love take form inside the womb?
Is it a burden to look into each other's eyes?
In my heart, are you really far away?
Something stirs inside a woman, doesn't it?
When I come to tell you, is it shyness that stops me?
Is this the moment to let go of shyness?
Will you come to blanket the sky?
The prime of life opens the doors of youth,
The very first night...
...calls out for the next night to follow.
What is this, what is this brand new world?
A private world for a man and a woman.
Is this a first night between two souls?
Will love take form inside the womb?
Give and take happens upon the lips,
What is yours and mine now feels like ours.
What is this, what is this brand new world?
A private world for a man and a woman.
Is this a first night between two souls?
Will love take form inside the womb?
Oh, sleep stays awake through the night,
The trembling of dreams feels so sweet.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This sensual duet from the film 'Sivakasi' portrays the emotional and physical union of two lovers during their first intimate night. The lyrics describe the creation of a private realm exclusive to the couple, where boundaries fade and individual identities merge into togetherness. Through romantic metaphors of accounting, nature, and bodily sensations, the song explores the fine line between romance, desire, and spiritual oneness.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Financial Metaphor

Varavum selavum idhalil nigalum

Compares physical intimacy on lips to financial accounting ('Varavum selavum' - income and expenditure / credits and debits).

Anaphora / Repetition

Idhu enna idhu enna puthu ulaga

Repetition of 'Idhu enna' at the beginning creates rhythm and emphasizes wonder.

Edhugai (Second-letter Rhyme)

Aanukkum penukkum thani ulaga / Uyirukkum uyirukkum mudhal iravaa

The second consonant sound matches across consecutive lines ('Aanukkum' / 'Uyirukkum').
