Ey kannaal kannaal pesi
Naan kaanum ulagam
Thalaikeezhaga ennai sutri aaduthe

Hey, speaking with eyes and glances,
the world that I see
dances upside down around me.
With love painted on my heart,
even the poison
that spills from my lips
turns into sweet nectar.
Millions of lotuses bloom
and scent my every breath.
Like a dry leaf in the gusty Aadi wind,
my body has been transformed!
This is a new kind of emerald magic.
Hey, speaking with eyes and glances,
the world that I see
dances upside down around me.
With love painted on my heart,
even the poison
that spills from my lips
turns into sweet nectar.
As you stepped into my glass-like heart
like a heavy stone,
I shattered into pieces.
As a mountain waterfall
rushes before me,
I drank it all in with my eyes.
A gentle drizzle sweeps through my heart,
painting it in vibrant colors.
Ripping across the sky...
Ripping through the forest...
I became the lightning itself!
I became completely spellbound!
I became completely spellbound!
Alone in a magical world,
with a stumbling, overflowing heart,
I longed and struggled.
The feeling of love
that lay frozen and hidden in my soul,
I watched it blossom!
Isn't this a magical realm?
Aren't I the queen ruling over it?
My body transforms,
becoming a serpent,
touching and striking like fire!
Hey, speaking with eyes and glances,
the world that I see
dances upside down around me.
With love painted on my heart,
even the poison
that spills from my lips
turns into sweet nectar.
Millions of lotuses bloom
and scent my every breath.
Like a dry leaf in the gusty Aadi wind,
my body has been transformed!
This is a new kind of emerald magic.
Hey, speaking with eyes and glances,
the world that I see
dances upside down around me.
With love painted on my heart,
even the poison
that spills from my lips
turns into sweet nectar.
