என் மனசு மனசுதான்
ரெக்கை கட்டி பறக்குது
என் வயசின் வேலைதான்
ரசாயணம் சுரக்குது
My heart, my heart itself,
Is flying high with attached wings.
Because of this age and phase in life,
Chemicals are secreting inside me.
நான் சொக்குறேன் ஹையோ
உயிர் மூச்சு எங்க போச்சு
நான் திக்குறேன் ஏனோ
தாய் மொழியே மறந்து
I am swooning, oh dear!
Where did my life-breath go?
I am stuttering, I wonder why,
Forgetting even my mother tongue.
என் ஆசை என் ஆசை
அடி பட்டு கெடக்கு இங்க
இனிமேலும் இனிமேலும்
வலி தாங்க முடியாதே
My desire, my desire,
Lies wounded here.
Hereafter, hereafter,
The pain cannot be borne anymore.
ஆனாலும் ஆனாலும்
எனக்குள்ளே புது மயக்கம்
விதியோ விதியோ
ஆஹ் காதல் கொழப்புதே....எஹ்
இந்த காதல் கொழப்புதே....எஹ்
அடியே....
இந்த காதல் கொழப்புதே....எஹ்
என் மனசும் சறுக்குதே....
அடியே....
Even then, even then,
There is a new intoxication inside me.
Is it fate? Is it fate?
Ah, love is so confusing...
This love is so confusing...
Oh my girl...
This love is so confusing...
My heart is also slipping away...
Oh my girl...
கொண்டாட்டம் பாதி
திண்டாட்டம் பாதி
என்னோட வாழ்க்கை ஆனதே.....ஏ.....ஏ....ஏ....
பொல்லாத நாடகங்களே......ஏ......ஏ.....ஏ.....
Half celebration,
Half struggle,
That is what my life has become...
Wicked dramatic plays...
நான் அடிக்கும் புயலில்
சிக்கி பலரும் சிறு முயலா
நீ பொழியும் மழையில்
எனக்கான குடையா....
In the raging storm,
Trapped like helpless little rabbits,
In the rain you shower upon me,
Are you the umbrella made for me?
என் ஆசை என் ஆசை
அடி பட்டு கெடக்கு இங்க
இனிமேலும் இனிமேலும்
வலி தாங்க முடியாதே
My desire, my desire,
Lies wounded here.
Hereafter, hereafter,
The pain cannot be borne anymore.
ஆனாலும் ஆனாலும்
எனக்குள்ளே புது மயக்கம்
விதியோ விதியோ
ஆஹ் காதல் கொழப்புதே....எஹ்
இந்த காதல் கொழப்புதே....எஹ்
அடியே....
இந்த காதல் கொழப்புதே....எஹ்
என் மனசும் சறுக்குதே....
அடியே....
Even then, even then,
There is a new intoxication inside me.
Is it fate? Is it fate?
Ah, love is so confusing...
This love is so confusing...
Oh my girl...
This love is so confusing...
My heart is also slipping away...
Oh my girl...
ஓஹோ.....
Ohoooo...
அடியே.....ஏ.....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song captures the emotional turmoil, euphoria, and sheer confusion experienced when falling in love. The protagonist describes love as a chemical surge that leaves him speechless, breathless, and utterly dazed, to the point of forgetting his own mother tongue. His heart feels caught in a chaotic interplay between pain and pleasure, where love acts as both a disorienting storm and a comforting shelter. Through vivid imagery, the lyrics portray life becoming a mix of half-celebration and half-struggle. Despite the overwhelming confusion and emotional vulnerability, the protagonist succumbs to the sweet intoxication of love, questioning whether this chaotic twist of fate is meant to be.
