ஹா..ஆஅ..ஆஆ..ஆஅ...
ஏய் கண்ணால் கண்ணால் பேசி
நான் காணும் உலகம் தலைகீழாக
என்னை சுற்றி ஆடுதே
Haaaa..aaaaa..aaa..
Hey, speaking with the eyes
The world I see turns upside down
And dances around me
நெஞ்சில் நேசம் பூசி
என் இதழ்கள் சிந்தும்
நஞ்சும் கூட
அமுதம் அமுதம் ஆகுதே
Smearing affection in the heart
Even the poison
Spilled by my lips
Turns into pure nectar
கோடி தாமரைகள் மலர்ந்து
என் மூச்சில் மணக்கின்றது
ஆடி காற்றினிலே சருகாய்
என் தேகம் மாறியதே
இது புதுவித மரகத மாயம்
A crore lotuses bloom
And fragrance fills my breath
Like a dry leaf in a strong wind
My body has transformed
This is a new kind of emerald illusion..
கண்ணால் கண்ணால் பேசி
நான் காணும் உலகம் தலைகீழாக
என்னை சுற்றி ஆடுதே
Hey, speaking with the eyes
The world I see turns upside down
And dances around me
நெஞ்சில் நேசம் பூசி
என் இதழ்கள் சிந்தும்
நஞ்சும் கூட
அமுதம் அமுதம் ஆகுதே
Smearing affection in the heart
Even the poison
Spilled by my lips
Turns into pure nectar

[Musical Interlude]
ஏதோ கண்ணாடி மனதில்
கல்லோடு நுழைய
துண்டாக உடைந்தேனே
மலையில் உண்டாகும் அருவி
என் முன்னே பாய
கண்ணாலே குடித்தேனே
Into some glass-like heart
Entering with eyes closed
I shattered into pieces
A waterfall born in the mountains
Gushes right before me
And I drank it with my eyes
மனம் சாரல் வீசுகிறதே
வண்ண சாயம் பூசுகிறதே
வானம் கீறும் வானம் கீறும்
மின்னல் ஆனேன் ஆனேன்
A gentle drizzle blows over my mind
Painting colorful hues
Tearing the sky... tearing the forest...
I became the lightning
மாயம் மாயம் ஆனேன் நானே
மாயம் மாயம் ஆனேன் நானே
I myself became magic and illusion
I myself became magic and illusion...
....................
[Musical Interlude]
தனியே மாய உலகில்
தள்ளாடி ததும்பும்
நெஞ்சோடு தவித்தேனே
உயிரில் உறைந்து மறைந்த
காதல் உணர்வை
மலர கண்டேனே
Alone in a magical world
Stumbling and brimming over
I yearned deep in my heart
Frozen and hidden within the soul
The feeling of love
I saw it bloom
இது மாய தேசம் அல்லவா
நான் ஆளும் ராணி அல்லவா
தேகம் மாறும் நாகம் ஆகும்
தீயாய் தீண்டும் தீண்டும்
Isn't this a mystical land?
Am I not the queen who rules it?
The body transforms into a shape-shifting serpent
Scorching like fire again and again..
ஏய் கண்ணால் கண்ணால் பேசி
நான் காணும் உலகம் தலைகீழாக
என்னை சுற்றி ஆடுதே
Hey, speaking with the eyes
The world I see turns upside down
And dances around me
நெஞ்சில் நேசம் பூசி
என் இதழ்கள் சிந்தும்
நஞ்சும் கூட
அமுதம் அமுதம் ஆகுதே
Smearing affection in the heart
Even the poison
Spilled by my lips
Turns into pure nectar
கோடி தாமரைகள் மலர்ந்து
என் மூச்சில் மணக்கின்றது
ஆடி காற்றினிலே சருகாய்
என் தேகம் மாறியதே
இது புதுவித மரகத மாயம்

My body has transformed

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This mystical song expresses the overwhelming and transformative experience of love mixed with magical realism. As the protagonist connects through silent eye contact, her entire perception of reality turns upside down. Bitter poison transforms into sweet nectar, her breath feels fragrant like millions of blooming lotuses, and her body feels weightless like a leaf carried by a gust of wind.
