விழிகள் மூடி கொண்டாடும்
கனவே நம் மெய் சயனம்
கனவுலகம் காணாமலே
காலம் போனால் நரகம்
Celebrating with eyes closed,
Dreams are our true bed of rest.
Without seeing the world of dreams,
If time passes, it is hell.
விழிகளை காணும் கனா
காளி உருவத்தில் வண்ணம்
ஏந்தி நின்றேன்
என்னை வென்றாய்
காளி சிலை போல
காட்சி தருகையில்
உயிர் மெய்யய் வென்றாய்
A dream witnessed by the art of eyes,
With colors in the form of Goddess Kali,
I stood holding on,
You conquered me.
Appearing like a statue of Kali,
As you grant your sight, you conquered my living self.
இமை மூட வில்லை
துயில் இல்லை
ஐந்து புலன்கள்
என் வசம் இல்லை
ரணம் இல்லை வலி இல்லை
நான் எங்கே ஓ ஓ ஓ.....
My eyelids have not closed,
There is no sleep,
The five senses
Are not under my control.
There is no wound, there is no pain,
Where am I? Oh oh oh...
உன் கால்கள் நிலமோ
அது அசையும் அழகோ
தள்ளாடி போகும்
உன் தேகம் தீயோ
அது கொதிக்கும் ஜுவாலையோ
பொசுங்கி சாகும்
Are your feet the ground?
Is the beauty of their movement
Making everything stagger?
Is your body fire?
Is it a boiling flame?
It will char and perish.
அடி நீ ஆடும் போதெல்லாம்
வீழும் வியர்வைகள்
நீர் ஆறாய் பெருகும் வெள்ளம் போல்
உடல் மண்ணோடு சாயலாம்
உயிரும் போகலாம்
ஓம் சாந்தி ஓம்
Girl, whenever you dance,
The sweat drops that fall
Are like a flood swelling in a river.
The body may sink into the earth,
Life itself may depart,
Om Shanthi Om.
இமை மூடவில்லை
துயில் இல்லை
ஐந்து புலன்கள்
என் வசம் இல்லை
ரணம் இல்லை வலி இல்லை
நான் எங்கே ஓ ஓ ஓ
My eyelids have not closed,
There is no sleep,
The five senses
Are not under my control.
There is no wound, there is no pain,
Where am I? Oh oh oh...
உன் சுவாசம் காற்றோ
அது உயிரின் பாட்டோ
சங்கீதம் பாடும்
உன் கூந்தல் முகிலோ
ஆகாயம் சேருமோ
மழை பொழிந்தே போகும்
Is your breath the wind?
Is it the song of life,
Singing melodies?
Are your tresses dark clouds?
Will they reach the sky?
Rain will pour down.
அடி தப்பென்று தோன்றினால்
நீயும் தோன்றுவாய்
தாண்டவத்தை நடத்தி செல்வாய் ஹோ
விடை இல்லாமல் போகலாம்
விதியும் நீளலாம்
ஓம் சாந்தி ஓம்
Girl, if something feels wrong,
You will appear,
You will perform the cosmic dance (Thaandavam) and move on.
It may remain without an answer,
Destiny too may stretch on,
Om Shanthi Om.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song portrays a deeply hypnotic and transcendent trance where the narrator surrenders completely to the awe-inspiring presence of a fiery, divine female figure equated to Goddess Kali. Captivated by her fierce grace and cosmic dance, the speaker loses control over his five senses, entering a realm beyond physical pain, sleep, and mortal reality.
