இது என்ன இது என்ன புது உலகா
ஆணுக்கும் பெண்ணுக்கும் தனி உலகா
உயிருக்கும் உயிருக்கும் முதலிரவா
கருப்பையில் காதல் கருவுருமா
வரவும் செலவும் இதழில் நிகழும்
உனதும் எனதும் நமதாய் தெரியும்
What is this, what is this new world?
A separate world for a man and a woman.

கனவின் நடுக்கம் இனிதாய் இருக்கும்

பெண்ணுக்குள் ஆண்
வந்தால் காதலா
ஆணுக்குள் பெண் வந்தால் காமமா
If a man enters a woman, is that love?
If a woman enters a man, is that desire?
நீ எந்தன் உயிருக்குள் பாதியா
நானென்ன சிவனோட ஜாதியா
மனசுக்குள் பூ பூக்கும் நேரம் தானோ
சுவாசத்தில் உன் வாசம் தானோ
இடையில் வறுமை நிமிர்ந்தால் பெருமை
இளமை இளமை இணைத்தால் புதுமை
Are you imprinted into my very soul?
Am I of Lord Shiva's lineage?
Is this the moment a flower blooms in the heart?
Is your fragrance the only scent around?
If poverty hits the waist, standing upright brings pride.
When youth merges with youth, it is novelty.

வைத்து பாரம்மா
நெஞ்சுக்குள் நீயும் என்ன தூரமா

Is love taking form within the womb?
பெண்ணுக்குள்
என்னன்னமோ தோனுமா
உன்னிடம் சொல்ல வந்தால் நாணமா
நாணத்தை விட்டுவிட்ட நேரம் தானோ
வானத்தை மூட வருவாயோ
இளமை கதவை பருவம் திறக்கும்
முதல் நாள் இரவை மறுநாள் அழைக்கும்
Look eye to eye without hesitation.
Are you really far away inside my heart?
இது என்ன இது என்ன புது உலகா
ஆணுக்கும் பெண்ணுக்கும் தனி உலகா
உயிருக்கும் உயிருக்கும் முதலிரவா
கருப்பையில் காதல் கருவுருமா
வரவும் செலவும் இதழில் நிகழும்
உனதும் எனதும் நமதாய் தெரியும்
Something stirs within a woman.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
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.
