இந்திரன் அல்ல
மன்மதன் அல்ல
சந்திரன் அல்ல
இவன் அந்த ஆண்
என்ன சொல்ல
He is not Lord Indra
He is not Lord Manmatha
He is not the Moon god
How do I describe this ultimate man?
என் வெட்கம்
வானவில் ஆனது
என் அரும்புகள் மலரால் ஆனது
யாரிவன்
என் பெயரே கவிதையாக
என் இளமை நனைந்து போக
குழு :
இந்த பூமிக்கு வந்த
ஒரு முறை
ஒரே ஒரு முறை
அவன் என்னை பார்த்தல்
My shyness transformed into a colorful rainbow
My unblown buds bloomed into flowers
Who is this man?
As my very name turned into poetry
While my youth gets thoroughly drenched
Chorus: The one who came to this earth
Female: Just once, only once
If he looks at me
யே யே யே....
யே யே....
Yeh yeh yehhhhh
Yeh yehhhh
இவன் பார்த்தல்
நெஞ்சம் மிஸ் மிஸ் ஆகும்
லவ் கிராபிக்ஸ் ஓடும்
இவன் வார்த்தை
புது தேசிய கீதம்
டீன் ஏஜ் இன் பாடம்
If he looks at me
My heart misses a beat
Graphics of love run through my mind
His spoken word
Is like a new national anthem
A lesson for the teenage years
ஹாஸ்டலில் எல்லாம்
இவனது படங்களே இருக்கும்
நினைக்கும் போதே
ரகசிய வாசம் அடிக்கும்
ராத்திரி எல்லாம்
அட இளமை பசிக்கும்
இளமை பசிக்கும்
இவனது நினைவே தினமும்
உணவாய் இருக்கும்
In every hostel room
Only his pictures will hang
Just by thinking of him
A secret fragrance wafts around
Throughout the whole night
Ah, youthful desire craves
Youthful desire craves
His memory every single day
Becomes my nourishment
மலர் பெண்மை
அதை மெல்ல தீர்க்கும் நாள்
விடிந்ததும் களைப்பால்
நூறு முத்தம் நிதம்
தருகிட வந்தான்
எங்கெங்கு நடந்தான்
A woman's tender, blossoming self
The day that gently fulfills her
At dawn, exhausted with fatigue
A hundred kisses every day
He came to bestow upon me
He wandered all over
ஆ...ஆ....ஆ.....
ஆ......ஆ....ஆ....
ஆ...ஆ....ஆ.....
Aaa...aaa...aaa...
Aaa...aaa...aaa...
Aaa...aaa...aa...
மலர்த்தோட்டம் அதில்
புயலாக வந்தான்
பல பூக்கள் கொய்தான்
இரவெல்லாம் அவன்
கனவாக வந்தான்
சுக லீலை செய்தான்
Into the flower garden
He entered like a storm
And plucked many flowers
All through the night, he
Appeared in my dreams
And indulged in blissful romantic play...
Female: Aaa...aaa...aa...
Aaa...aaa...aa...aaa...aa...
ஆ...ஆ....ஆ.....
ஆ...ஆ......ஆ....ஆ....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Indhiran Alla from the movie V.I.P (1997) is a sensual and youth-centric track expressing a young woman's passionate infatuation and idealization of her lover. She asserts that he surpasses legendary figures like Indra, Manmatha, and Chandran, depicting his charm as something capable of transforming her emotions into rainbows and blooming flowers. His mere presence makes her heart skip a beat and fills her imagination with modern visions of romance. The lyrics combine classical Tamil romantic tropes—such as flower gardens, secret fragrances, and storm metaphors—with trendy 90s youth references like teenage lessons and hostel posters. Overall, it captures the heady, intoxicating rush of youthful desire and fantasy.
