ஹே கண்ணாடி சிலையே
கண்ணாடி சிலையே
முன்னாடி நின்றாய்
முகம் பார்த்தேன்
மின்சார மழையே
மின்சார மழையே
எனக்குள்ளே பெய்தாய்
நான் சாய்ந்தேன்
Hey glass statue,
Glass statue,
You stood before me and I looked at your face.
O electric rain,
O electric rain,
You rained inside me and I surrendered.
உன் பார்வை பட்டதும்
தந்தை தாய் மறந்தேன்
என்னை நீ தொட்டதும்
என்னை நான் இழந்தேன்
The moment your gaze fell upon me,
I forgot my father and mother.
The moment you touched me,
I lost myself.
ஓ... ஓ... ஓ... ஓ...
ஓ... ஓ... ஓ... ஓ...
Ohooo…oo..ohoo.ooo..
Hooo oooo oooooo
Ohooo…oo..ohoo.ooo..
Hooo oooo oooooo
ஹே கண்ணாடி சிலையே
கண்ணாடி சிலையே
முன்னாடி நின்றாய்
முகம் பார்த்தேன்
மின்சார மழையே
மின்சார மழையே
எனக்குள்ளே பெய்தாய்
நான் சாய்ந்தேன்
Hey glass statue,
Glass statue,
You stood before me and I looked at your face.
O electric rain,
O electric rain,
You rained inside me and I surrendered.
நேற்று வரை நீ எந்தன்
இதயத்தின் ஓரத்தில்
எப்படி வந்தாய் என்னருகில்
தொடுகின்ற தூரத்தில்
Until yesterday, you were
At the corner of my heart.
How did you come near me,
Within touching distance?
அலங்காரம் செய்வதில்லை
வானத்து வெண்ணிலவு
அதைப் போலே பூமியிலே
நீ எந்தன் பேரழகு
Does not wear any makeup or adornments,
The white moon in the sky;
Just like that, on earth,
You are my magnificent beauty.
இது கனவில் நிஜமா
இல்லை நிஜத்தில் கனவா
இது வலியில் சுகமா
எனக்கு புரியவில்லை
Is this reality inside a dream,
Or a dream inside reality?
Is this pleasure found in pain?
I do not understand.
ஓ... ஓ... ஓ... ஓ...
ஓ... ஓ... ஓ... ஓ...
Ohooo…oo..ohoo.ooo..
Hooo oooo oooooo
Ohooo…oo..ohoo.ooo..
Hooo oooo oooooo
ஹே கண்ணாடி சிலையே
கண்ணாடி சிலையே
முன்னாடி நின்றாய்
முகம் பார்த்தேன்
மின்சார மழையே
மின்சார மழையே
எனக்குள்ளே பெய்தாய்
நான் சாய்ந்தேன்
Hey glass statue,
Glass statue,
You stood before me and I looked at your face.
O electric rain,
O electric rain,
You rained inside me and I surrendered.
கடவுளை நான் கண்டதில்லை
உன் முகம் பார்த்துவிட்டேன்
உன் மந்திரக் கண்களை பார்த்ததுமே
மயக்கத்தில் விழுந்துவிட்டேன்
I have never seen God,
But I have seen your face.
The moment I looked into your magical eyes,
I fell into a sweet trance.
உன்னை மட்டும் உலகத்திலே
நொடிக்கொரு முறை நினைப்பேன்
என் உயிரில் உன் உயிரை
தினம் இனி நான் சுமப்பேன்
Only you in this world,
I will think of you every single second.
Your life within my life,
I will carry daily from now on.
இது கனவில் நிஜமா
இல்லை நிஜத்தில் கனவா
இது வலியில் சுகமா
எனக்கு புரியவில்லை
Is this reality inside a dream,
Or a dream inside reality?
Is this pleasure found in pain?
I do not understand.
ஓ... ஓ... ஓ... ஓ...
ஓ... ஓ... ஓ... ஓ...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Kannaadi Silaiyae' from Iruvar Ullam expresses the euphoric sensation of falling head over heels in love. The protagonist addresses the beloved as a delicate glass sculpture and a thrilling shower of electric rain that invades his soul. Overwhelmed by her touch and glance, he experiences a state of intoxication that makes him forget everything else, blurring the line between dream and reality.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uruvagamm)
“Minsara mazhaiyae”
Compares the beloved directly to a 'kannaadi silai' (glass statue) and 'minsara mazhai' (electric rain) to symbolize delicate purity and invigorating emotional intensity.
Simile (Uvamaani)
“Adhai polae bhoomiyilae”
Compares the natural, unadorned beauty of the moon in the sky directly to the natural beauty of the beloved on earth ('adhai polae').
Paradox / Oxymoron
“Idhu valiyil sugama”
Combines conflicting ideas ('kanavil nijama', 'nijathil kanava', 'valiyil sugama') to illustrate the sweet confusion and emotional intensity brought by love.
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navitchi)
“Kadavulai naan kandathillai un mugam parthu vitten”
Exaggerates the divinity of the lover by stating that looking at her face is equivalent to seeing God.
