கண்ணை மூடி
உன்னைக் கண்ட அப்பவே
அப்பவே கைவளையல் ஓசை
கேட்டால் அப்பவே அப்பவே
ஆடை வாசம் நாசி தொட்ட
அப்பவே அப்பவே ஆயுள் கைதி
ஆகிவிட்டேன் அப்பவே அப்பவே
Right at the moment I closed my eyes and saw you, right then
Right at the moment I heard the sound of bangles, right then
Right at the moment the fragrance of clothes touched my nose, right then
I became a prisoner for life, right at that moment!

Right now, right now, I want to see you right now
வெள்ளச் சேதம்
வந்தால் கூட தப்பிக்
கொள்ளலாம் உள்ளச்சேதம்
வந்து விட்டால் என்ன செய்வது
Right now, right now, I want to speak to you right now
முள்ளைக் காலில்
ஏற்றிக் கொண்டால் ரத்தம்
மட்டும் தான் உன்னை நெஞ்சில்
ஏற்றிக் கொண்டேன் நித்தம் யுத்தம் தான்
One can escape even from damage caused by floods
But if damage occurs within the heart, what can be done?
சொல்லித் தீரா
இன்பம் கண்டு எந்தன்
நெஞ்சு கூத்தாட
If a thorn pierces the foot, there is only blood
But I let you into my heart, and now it is a daily battle
மின்னல் கண்ட
தாழை போல உன்னால்
நானும் பூத்தாட
Experiencing untold happiness, my heart dances in joy
உன்னைக் கண்டேன்
என்னைக் காணோம் என்னைக்
காண உன்னை நானும்
Like a screwpine blooming upon seeing lightning, I bloomed because of you
இப்பவே இப்பவே
பார்க்கணும் இப்பவே இப்பவே
இப்பவே பேசணும் இப்பவே
I found you, but I lost myself
To find myself, I search for you
எந்தன் வாழ்வில்
வந்ததின்று நல்ல திருப்பம்
இனி உந்தன் கையைப் பற்றிக்
கொண்டே செல்ல விருப்பம்
Right now, right now, I want to see you right now
Right now, right now, I want to speak to you right now
நெஞ்சவயல்
எங்கும் உன்னை நட்டு
வைக்கிறேன் நித்தம்
அதில் காதல் உரம் இட்டு
வைக்கிறேன்
A wonderful turning point has arrived in my life today
From now on, my desire is to walk holding your hand
உன்னைக் காண
நானும் வந்தால் சாலை
எல்லாம் பூஞ்சோலை
I plant you across the entire field of my heart
Every day, I nurture it with the fertilizer of love
உன்னை நீங்கி
போகும் நேரம் சோலை
கூட தார்ப்பாலை
When I come to see you, every road becomes a flower garden
மண்ணுக்குள்ளே
வேரைப் போலே நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே
நீதான் நீதான்
The moment I leave you, even a garden feels like desert tar
இப்பவே இப்பவே
பார்க்கணும் இப்பவே
இப்பவே இப்பவே
பேசணும் இப்பவே
Like roots hidden deep beneath the earth
Inside my heart, it is only you, only you
கண்ணுக்குள்ள
உன்னைக் கண்ட அப்பவே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Ippavae Ippavae is a soulful romantic song from the movie Raman Thediya Seethai that expresses the intense urgency and passion of love. The protagonists express an irresistible desire to see and talk to each other without any delay. Every subtle sensory perception—from hearing bangles to smelling fragrance—serves to deepen their emotional attachment, making them willingly become lifelong prisoners of love.

Poetic devices
Repetition / Anaphora
“Ippavae ippavae paarkanum ippavae”
The frantic repetition of 'Ippavae' (right now) and 'Appavae' (right at that moment) builds a rhythmic sense of urgency and immediate passion.
Metaphor
“Nenjavayal engum unnai nattu vaikiren”
The heart is visualised as a field ('Nenjavayal') where love is planted and fertilized like a crop.
Simile
“Minnal kanda thaazhai polae unnaal naanum poothaada”
The speaker compares their blossoming joy to the screwpine flower ('thaazhai') that blooms when lightning strikes.
Contrast / Hyperbole
“Unnai kaana naanum vandhaal saalai ellam poonjolai / Unnai neengi pogum neram solai kooda thaarpaalai”
Contrasts the presence of the beloved (turning roads into flower gardens) with separation (turning gardens into hot tar/deserts).
